Fall Reading Wrap-Up

I haven't posted a wrap-up since AUGUST. It's been so long! But I really haven't been reading that much. This wrap-up is going to be pretty short because there's enough here that I don't want to write mini-reviews for everything, especially since it's been almost three months since I've read some of these books. I'll just write a bit for ones that really have something to say about.
SEPTEMBER

CARAVAL by Stephanie Garber (Caraval #1)

THE SKY IS EVERYWHERE by Jandy Nelson
MASK OF SHADOWS by Linsey Miller (Mask of Shadows #1)

 ODD & TRUE by Cat Winters: This was such an interesting book! I really liked both main characters, and I loved the way the story was told. Cat Winters has written another incredible creepy book.
MEET CAROLINE, CAROLINE'S SECRET MESSAGE, and A SURPRISE FOR CAROLINE by Kathleen Ernst (American Girls: Caroline #1-3)


OCTOBER

PLAYING IN THE DARK: WHITENESS AND THE LITERARY IMAGINATION by Toni Morrison

AMELIA BEDELIA by Peggy Parish (reread)
CAROLINE TAKES A CHANCE, CAROLINE'S BATTLE, and CHANGES FOR CAROLINE by Kathleen Ernst (American Girls: Caroline #4-6)


NOVEMBER

LORD OF SHADOWS by Cassandra Clare (The Dark Artifices #2): I don't think this quite lived up to the first book in the series, but it definitely wrecked me in about a million different ways.

ELIZA AND HER MONSTERS by Francesca Zappia

I AM A DROID by Christopher Nicholas

I AM A PILOT by Christopher Nicholas

A NEW HOPE by Geof Smith

INTO THE BRIGHT UNKNOWN by Rae Carson (Gold Seer Trilogy #3): I can't believe that one of my favorite series of all time is over! It was a perfect ending, though. Absolutely perfect.

YOU'LL MISS ME WHEN I'M GONE by Rachel Lynn Solomon: I CAN'T BELIEVE I GOT TO READ THIS! Does this mean I'm going to finally shut up about it? NEVER. Because it was AMAZING, just like I knew it was going to be. You're going to want to pre-order this so it can be your first read of 2018!

PRINCE IN DISGUISE by Stephanie Kate Strohm: Such a cute, funny, fluffy contemporary! I'd really love to see more books like this.


CHALLENGES

Backlist Reader Challenge: 9 since last update, overall 30/60 (The Sky is Everywhere, the Caroline series, A New Hope)

Read it Again, Sam Challenge: 1 since last update, overall 19/16+ (Amelia Bedelia)

2017 Debut Author Challenge: 2 since last update, overall 13/12 (Caraval, Mask of Shadows)

2017 Series Enders Challenge: 2 since last update, overall 7/3-5 (Changes for Caroline, Into the Bright Unknown)

I'm going to skip the blogging wrap-up, because I've done embarrassing little on this front for the past few months and I'm probably going to do a lot less in the next couple of weeks because of final exams.

How much have you been reading lately? Are you as behind on some of your goals as I am? Tell me in the comments!

Ten Books I Need More People to Love

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature at The Broke and Bookish. This week's theme: Top Ten Underrated/Hidden Gem Books You've Read in the Past Year or So.

That way, I can discuss the boo ks with them, and if I know their tastes well enough, I know I'm givin g them something that they'll love! Unfortunately, I can't do this with the entire world. And that means that there are books that I've really enjoyed t hat just aren't widely loved. Why ? I don't know. And that's why I spend so much time trying to get other people to read them.

Ten Unique Books I've Read

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature at The Broke and the Bookish . This week's theme: ten of the most unique books I've read! ILLUMINAE by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff: This one's mostly about the way the story is told. I absolutely love how so many different formats are used and how they all come together to form one story! SIX OF CROWS by Leigh Bardugo: No matter how hard I try, I can't think of any books that compare to this. When you combine the setting and the multiple perspectives and the heist aspect, you get something totally unique.   WOLF BY WOLF by Ryan Graudin: Alternate histories aren't really anything new, but alternate histories plus powers plus motorcycle races? Definitely unique. And definitely amazing. THE SCORPIO RACES by Maggie Stiefvater: The weird thing about this book is that it feels kind of familiar, like it should remind me of another book. But it doesn't. I've never read anything quite like it. MORE HAPPY

My Ten Most Disappointing Reads

As I've read more books, I've generally gotten better at telling whether I'm going to like a book before I read it. Sometimes, though, books trick me - I look at them, think I'm going to love them, and then I don't. That really annoys me, but it makes for good post material - basically, this whole post is going to be me venting about books I really wanted to love. THE WINNER'S CURSE by Marie Rutkoski: I heard so many great things about this series - I still do - and I just don't get it. I read the first book, and I didn't care about anything that was going on, and at this point, there's no way that I'm finishing the series. DASH & LILY'S BOOK OF DARES by Rachel Cohn & David Levithan: I couldn't even finish this one, and you guys know how rarely I DNF books. I thought this was going to be a really cute holiday story, and I've really liked other David Levithan books, but by the time I was just a few chapters in I
