My Yearly TBR: Top 4 Books I Need to Read Before the End of 2018

-
There are so many books in the universe I want to read; however, I do not have the time to read all day long as I am ruling my kingdom, which has food raining from the skies daily, and maintaining my grades. I compiled a list of books that a royal dragon can complete within the span of year. Also, I have made my Goodreads goal 70 books and there are only 4(+) books in my year tbr, so I should finish these 4(+) books by the end of 2018, hopefully.

My Yearly TBR

The Green MileStrange the Dreamer (Strange the Dreamer, #1)Turtles All the Way DownDaughter of Smoke & Bone (Daughter of Smoke & Bone, #1)

1. Strange the Dreamer by Laini Taylor
I have already mentioned in my Winter TBR post that I wanted to read this before 2017 ended; however, due to my current mood, which is to read all my attained arcs, I have not felt like reading much finished copies, so Strange the Dreamer is #1 on this list as this book has received rave reviews and tons of 5 star ratings. I hope I can be one of those readers who loves this book so I can be in the know and read the second book in this duology once it comes out in 2018.

2. Turtles All the Way Down by John Green
If you have not heard about Turtles All the Way Down by now, find a safe place from the internet after you finish reading this post and immediately drive, walk, or bicycle to your nearest store to pick up a copy of this book, because where have you been? In October 2017, which was the release month of Turtles All the Way Down, everyone was freaking out over this book except for me, the hungry word-eating dragon who stays up 24/7 reading just so she can wear a Literary Rebel shirt. You think I am joking with the t-shirt, but I have one! Back to the topic at hand, you probably have read it, your parent has probably already read it, and I bet your younger or youngest sibling has read this dang book so that may be a sign for me to read it..hmm, right about NOW!

 Update: I have read it and I am in desperate need of a reread. 

 3. Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor
This is a book that has been on my tbr shelf for so long that it is near the back of my tbr shelf. Now, before you start thinking that I have had this book for dozens of years, stop your judgmental thinking as I have only had it for a few months! That is the truth! Also, it doesn't help that there is so much hype for this trilogy and all the rest of Taylor's books. I will get to them...one day?

4. The Green Mile by Stephen King
I read IT by Stephen King and I loved it so much! Since I also love "The Green Mile" movie as well, I thought it was time to finally sit down and read one of my favorite movies adapted from a book. Also, it helps that my parents just happened to have a copy on their bookshelf they don't look at nor mention anymore.

5. Any and All ARCs I Gathered in 2017
I think this point is self-explanatory if you read my last post.

Even though I may have listed 5 books in 5 separate points, which actually includes several books, I feel pretty confident in reading all or almost all of the books on and not listed on this list. Wish me luck!

Love,
newbookcats

      Yay! I am so happy that you enjoyed Strange the Dreamer! I have been meaning to read it for so long that I have no idea how it is still sitting on my shelf. Are there any books you want to read? I hope you fulfill all the 2018 bookish and non-bookish resolutions you have made!

Ten Enticing "One Day" Novels with INCREDIBLE Pacing and That Caused Me to Forget the World Around Me

Every Tuesday, Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl hosts Top Ten Tuesday, a series of posts created to appreciate lists of books and reading-related culture. The theme changes every week and is chosen by Jana. Come join our fangirl/boy craziness by naming your top ten favorite short reads in the comments or in your very own blog/social media post! Books and their stories, no matter the length, are extremely attractive. After a long day of work or school, it's only necessary to curl up on the couch and read a fraction of a story before sleeping the night away. However, some nights, the energy to finish a whole book readily flows in your veins and is fueled from the adrenaline of the right story. It's the nail-biting adventure novel with the cliffhanger chapters or the horrific fantasy giving goosebumps or the short king novellas. Whichever book floats your metaphorical boat, I have curated a list to cater to the interests of most readers. Ten genres is definitely not enough to cover...

Four Books I Recently Got in the Mail That Caused Me to Scream

-

Over the course of my life, books have always been a central part. This could be due to my mom being an advocate for reading or due to the several packages of books that come to my house at random times of the week. Every time a package appears on my doorstep, I squeal. My family says I outright scream bloody murder, but I think I just squeal loudly every time I see a shiny new book come into my hungry arms. Due to my past, I have followed my mom's footsteps and have been stacking my shelves with tons of books. Thanks to Tynga at Tynga's Reviews  who hosts Stacking the Shelves, all the bookworms, that turn into bookdragons later in life, have the ability to share their recent book mail. Today, as it is Saturday, I am sharing the four books I have gotten within the past month, which hopefully will make Four wish that he had some Dauntless cake. Let's get into destroying some perfectly good packaging! 1. The War Outside by Monica Hesse I am working with the people...

Dear All in the Book Community, To introduce myself, I am Nicole, or am known as newbookcats on the line, and I run my blog NewBookCatsREADS. Most likely, you have never heard of a book and cat getting along unless if the cat is allowed to play with the pages; however, on my blog, anyone who can appreciate the luxurious smell of a book or the tiniest sound you hear when you flip a page is my friend. I might dwell on the great smell of books for a while, but who can keep away from the sweet smell of a new or old book? Anyway, the book community has become a part of me; therefore, I need to give thanks to it through a letter listing ten reasons why I believe the book community is one of the best ones in the world. Gather your tissues and enjoy the list because books are a few of my favorite things! *imagine I have Julie Andrews' voice for just a minute* 10 Reasons Why the Book Community is Awesome: 1. You can grow in this community. I have only been a book blogger...
