Hey everyone and welcome back to my blog! Today I am participating in weekly meme Top 5 Wednesday, which is hosted by Sam from Thoughts on Tomes. T5W was created by Lainey from gingerreadslainey. If you want to participate, check out the group's goodreads page here! The prompt for this week is books I will never read. Keep in mind that I don't mean to offend anyone. A book can't please everyone. 
The Book of Ivy by Amy Engel was the first book I listened to. Just over a year passed before I picked up my next audiobook, The Conspiracy of Us by Maggie Hall. Though I didn't necessarily dislike The Book of Ivy, it was such a different experience I didn't know what to think of it. At that time, I still had issues focusing solely on an audiobook and got distracted easily.
The Conspiracy of Us is by far my favorite audiobook. It kept my attention the whole entire time, and it is one of the only audiobooks I have listened to where I was anticipating the next time I had time to listen. It was also easy to differentiate among the characters and I never had to rewind because I was confused, which happens a lot for me when I lose focus for a couple of seconds! 
I'm sorry to say that The Kiss of Deception is my least favorite audiobook. I was really into it at first, but the way the narrator did the voices for old texts took me out of the story. After a while, I lacked focus and had to schedule out time to listen to the book. If I do continue on with the series, I will be doing it physically. However, I did like how there were several narrators for the book! The narrators for both Rafe and Kaden were fantastic!
Besides these four, I've only listened to one other audiobook, City of a Thousand Dolls by Miriam Forester. This is actually right behind The Conspiracy of Us enjoyment-wise. The narration always held me attention. Unlike The Kiss of Deception, I will pick up the second installment in this series via audiobook as well. While five seems like a measly number, I've started to finally decipher what I like and dislike about audiobooks. It takes me a couple days to read them, but I'm starting to feel comfortable with them. It is now the norm for me to listen to an audiobook while driving than listening to music! Audiobooks have allowed me to not only read books that I was somewhat hesitant about reading, but read more often!

Growing up, she learned that the best way to survive was to say nothing. And even though it’s been four years since her nightmare ended, she’s beginning to worry that the fear that holds her back will last a lifetime.
Now, after years of homeschooling with loving adoptive parents, Mallory must face a new milestone—spending her senior year at public high school. But of all the terrifying and exhilarating scenarios she’s imagined, there’s one she never dreamed of—that she’d run into Rider Stark, the friend and protector she hasn’t seen since childhood, on her very first day.
It doesn’t take long for Mallory to realize that the connection she shared with Rider never really faded. Yet the deeper their bond grows, the more it becomes apparent that she’s not the only one grappling with the lingering scars from the past. And as she watches Rider’s life spiral out of control, Mallory faces a choice between staying silent and speaking out—for the people she loves, the life she wants, and the truths that need to be heard.
Hey everyone and welcome back to my blog! Today I'll be talking (writing?) about the books that I am currently reading and what I am planning on reading later this month! 
I'm currently reading two different books by Jennifer L. Armentrout and I have no shame. When I start reading JLA, it is hard for me to stop. Here writing isn't fantastic by any means, but it is addicting. A couple days ago I picked up Pure, the second book in the Covenant series. I am liking it a lot so far (I'm a third of the way through), but the romance between Aiden and Alex is getting on my nerves. I can't wait for the action to pick up. The other Armentrout book I'm reading right now is The Problem With Forever, which is her latest release. I finally gave in and today I went to my Barnes & Nobles and bought it. I'm just over 100 pages in and loving it. 
Though I just want to read Armentrout all day long, I do have some required reading I have to do. It is only 12 days until I start my senior yet, and I have yet to read any of the three required readings. Today I am going to start reading Frankenstien. I have heard amazing things from all of you, and I'm just going to force myself to pick it up. I always seem to have a hard time starting a book once it is assigned. That's what I get for being a mood reader!
Hey everyone and welcome back to my blog! Today I am participating in Top Ten Tuesday, a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and Bookish. Every week we are given a prompt. This week's prompt was Top Ten Books with X Setting, in which we choose a setting of our choice! I love science fiction, so I decided to spotlight

She flees on her wedding day.
She steals ancient documents from the Chancellor's secret collection.
She is pursued by bounty hunters sent by her own father.
She is Princess Lia, seventeen, First Daughter of the House of Morrighan.
The Kingdom of Morrighan is steeped in tradition and the stories of a bygone world, but some traditions Lia can't abide. Like having to marry someone she's never met to secure a political alliance.
Fed up and ready for a new life, Lia flees to a distant village on the morning of her wedding. She settles in among the common folk, intrigued when two mysterious and handsome strangers arrive—and unaware that one is the jilted prince and the other an assassin sent to kill her. Deceptions swirl and Lia finds herself on the brink of unlocking perilous secrets—secrets that may unravel her world—even as she feels herself falling in love.
Nerve was such a thrilling movie and I had so much fun watching it! I did have some faults here and there, but the pros definitely outweighed the cons. If you don't know, Nerve is based off of the YA novel of the same name written by Jeanne Ryan. The plot centers around Venus, or Vee. She is a shy upcoming college freshman who is anything but outgoing. Vee decides to become a player in a Nerve, a game like truth or dare without the truth. The watchers give out dares to players, and the more dangerous they are, the more money the players receive. The movie was released on July 27th, and I saw it on the 31st. I'm going to review the movie in three parts, one for each act.
