[Top Ten Tuesday] – #32 – Top Ten Books I Want To Read But Don’t Own Yet

Top Ten Tuesday is an original weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish. I thought this would be a fun way to share a condensed version of potential rambles and thoughts that I have.

This Week’s Theme:
Top Ten Books I Want To
Read But Don’t Own Yet

Initial Thoughts:

Soooo this might just be a list of upcoming reads that I’m reminding myself to purchase whenever they’re released. I have also provided synopsis excerpts for your enjoyment and as always the images link to their respective Goodreads page. And aside from the last pick, which was done solely based on fanboy reasons, the majority of the choices have been limited to publishing dates with a twenty-fourteen year ending, with a chronological listing.

[Miscellaneous] – Bout Of Books 11

Miscellaneous is the tagline to store my random posts that don’t really belong elsewhere. It’s more for consistency sake so I can have an itty-bitty picture to follow suit with the post.

BoB11-200x200The Bout of Books read-a-thon is organized by Amanda @ On a Book Bender and Kelly @ Reading the Paranormal. It is a week long read-a-thon that begins 12:01am Monday, Aug 18th and runs through Sunday, Aug 24th in whatever time zone you are in. Bout of Books is low-pressure, and the only reading competition is between you and your usual number of books read in a week. There are challenges, giveaways, and a grand prize, but all of these are completely optional. For all Bout of Books 11 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. 


Initial Thoughts:

This post is devoted to my on-going updates to track my progress during the read-a-thon going forward.

Read-a-thon Goals: Two books to be determined as I go because I really don’t know what I’m reading (I’m so wishy-washy).

[Music Monday] – #9 – Luke Sital-Singh – Dark

Music Monday is a weekly meme hosted by the Total Book Geek. The purpose of this bookish variant is to match a book with a particular song; whether it is character defining, a narrative element, or just an overall book defining track.

So why am I doing this? Well if I had to choose to only have one of the five traditional senses, it would be sound perception above all else. And hey I think it’d be neat to share music I listen to on a daily basis!

This Week’s Song:
Dark – Luke Sital-Singh 

Book Selected:
A Monster Calls – Patrick Ness


Initial Thoughts:

This is a companion post to the review of review of A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness. If you haven’t read the book, well, I think you should…so you shouldn’t read any further into this post to save yourself from potential spoilers that I may or may not guarantee will be in this post. But you can surely listen to the song! (I sure hope the track plays cause there was no embed button so I adapted one from the general format).

But first off: I’d like to thank Suits for introducing this song to me. The piano track and the vocal work make me feel all the feels again—both in Suits and A Monster Calls.
