Top Ten Tuesday | Ten Books I Wouldn't Mind Santa Leaving Under My Tree

It's almost Christmas!!  Christmas has always been my favorite holiday.  I love the festive lights and decorations, and I love spending time with my family.  Not to mention the three week break from school!  Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly bookish meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish.  This week's Top Ten is ten books I wouldn't mind Santa leaving under my tree; so here's a few books that I've been wanting for a while.

1. Vampire Academy (Anniversary Edition) by Richelle Mead

This is one of my favorite series of all time, so of course I want the new anniversary edition!  The cover is so beautiful, and it has new bonus material!

2. A Court of Wings and Ruin by Sarah J. Maas

So... I know this doesn't come out for another 5 months, but Santa is magic, right???  (yes i'm in denial that I have to wait that long)

Top Five(?) Tuesday | 5 Of My Most Recent 5 Star Reads

Hi everyone :).  Today I thought I would do Top Ten Tuesday, a weekly bookish meme created by the lovely The Broke and the Bookish!  This week's top ten are 10 of my most recent 5 star reads, but I decided to only do my most recent 5, because 10 seemed like too much (work lol).

*Disclaimer: I'm a pretty easy-to-please reader, so I give out 5 stars pretty often.  However, I always rate books truthfully, so these recent 5-star reads are all ones that I absolutely love and definitely recommend!!

1. A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas (ACOTAR #1)

Synopsis: When nineteen-year-old huntress Feyre kills a wolf in the woods, a beast-like creature arrives to demand retribution for it. Dragged to a treacherous magical land she only knows about from legends, Feyre discovers that her captor is not an animal, but Tamlin—one of the lethal, immortal faeries who once ruled their world.

As she dwells on his estate, her feelings for Tamlin transform from icy hostility into a fiery passion that burns through every lie and warning she's been told about the beautiful, dangerous world of the Fae. But an ancient, wicked shadow grows over the faerie lands, and Feyre must find a way to stop it... or doom Tamlin—and his world—forever.

Perfect for fans of Kristin Cashore and George R. R. Martin, this first book in a sexy and action-packed new series is impossible to put down!

Why the 5 stars?: Okay so technically I haven't finished this one yet but I'm so in love with it so far that there's no way that this isn't going to be a 5-star.  Beauty and the Beast re-tellings are my weakness...

Top Ten Tuesday- Top Ten Books I've Recently Added To My TBR

Hello everyone!!  Today I thought I would do Top Ten Tuesday, a weekly bookish meme created by the lovely The Broke and the Bookish!  Here are (in no particular order) the top ten books that I've recently added to my TBR:

1. Firstlife by Gena Showalter
Tenley “Ten” Lockwood is an average seventeen-year-old girl…who has spent the past thirteen months locked inside the Prynne Asylum. The reason? Not her obsession with numbers, but her refusal to let her parents choose where she’ll live—after she dies.

There is an eternal truth most of the world has come to accept: Firstlife is merely a dress rehearsal, and real life begins after death.

In the Everlife, two realms are in power: Troika and Myriad, longtime enemies and deadly rivals. Both will do anything to recruit Ten, including sending their top Laborers to lure her to their side. Soon, Ten finds herself on the run, caught in a wild tug-of-war between the two realms who will do anything to win the right to her soul. Who can she trust? And what if the realm she’s drawn to isn’t home to the boy she’s falling for? She just has to stay alive long enough to make a decision…

Why I Want to Read it: The synopsis sounds really interesting, and I've heard a lot about this book.  Hopefully it lives up to they hype...
