That's JUST my current list of books i have on hand and plan to read hopefully all this year! If you want to read along with me please comment your current read! I'd love to see your to-be read list. My actual TBR list is on goodreads and is insane. too much to ever read in 2017 for sure! I hope you guys are reading lots and enjoying your reads! I've been working a ton, dealing with lots of other stresses and i'm pretty due for a reading book weekend! If you've read any of these please tell me your non-spoiler star rating and thoughts!

If you are wondering where I bought these books I got them all on bookoutlet.com, Barnesandnoble.com with my membership and free shipping, or smile.amazon.com. I use smile Amazon because some things I buy go to help a charity of my choice so I never shop the regular Amazon site. I personally donate to the MS society because my dad has MS. If you want a complete list of where I buy my books (which are almost always discounted) check out my other blog post with the full list and all about shipping and ect! :)

hope to write to you all soon! much love- Bookish Mom

My current read!

Hey readers!! I am currently at home with my son who had a snow day at school today and i'm reading the night circus by Erin morgenstein! I recently went to my first ever book launch/book signing ever! It was for wires and nerves by marissa Meyer which was my first ever graphic novel read which I surprisingly enjoyed! I went and got all my lunar chronicles books and heartless signed! I just finished the snow like ashes series by Sara Raasch which I will review for you all soon!

I have a TON of books on my to read list that o own and a ton that I don't! I JUST ordered my first ever book subscription boxes! I ordered February's owlcrate box and the quarterly box! The owlcrate box i'm highly guessing has  Caraval by Stephaine Garber in it, it does have a tote and candle with it for sure, as they posted as much on facebook! It's a circus theme that goes with the night circus which is why I finally started reading the night circus even though I've owned it for almost a year! The quarterly box has the edge of everything by Jeff Giles in it plus two other books of his choice and some bookish items! I'll hopefully be able to post pictures when I get them! Both books subscriptions I picked are YA ones, BUT owlcrate offers kid ones as well, and quarterly offers a bunch of different subscription boxes from books to food to fitness ect!

If you would like a link to buy the night circus Click HERE

If you would like to subscribe to owlcrate click HERE

If you would Like to subscribe to quarterly click HERE

If you would like to browse all kinds of subscription boxes check out CRATEJOY which has a TON of different boxes for every hobby you can think of basically and you can set it to only show ones that ship to your country or from your country!

Hope you all are well and that you haven't been sick like me and my son off and on with various bugs that make us vomit and miserable! But if you have I hope you get to read a good book as you recover!

Ta ta for now! - Bookish mom

Heartless by Marissa Meyer review

hey readers! let's start off by saying what this books about! It's a prequel to Alice in wonderland about how the queen of hearts became the queen of hearts. I LOVED this book. I loved the characters and the plot and the little details, I loved the way she recreated the world we already knew from the original Alice in wonderland and reinvented it! Gah I love Jest. I loved this book! It was like being thrown into wonderland but a NEW wonderland. More in depth and up close look at it! The characters are each unique and set in their ways. We see new sides to many characters and even find out why the hatter turned mad. I really enjoyed it but I expected to enjoy it since I've enjoyed all her other novels as well. But I was really impressed with this one because I never really cared for Alice in wonderland and it never really attracted me to read a retelling. But her lunar chronicles made me pick this one up and i'm glad I did! So if you haven't read those you should! And if you want to read this awesome retelling/ not retelling and prequel click HERE!

Tell me what you think! I originally was supposed to go to the launch for this book but didn't get to sadly because frankly I didn't have anyone to go with and it's way to dangerous to walk the streets of Seattle alone at night. So for Christmas my son got it for me! So glad he did!

Just read it and tell me your thoughts! I would add a photo but my computer is still broken! Sorry!
-Bookish Mom

So sorry

hey loves! Sorry I've been absent for so long! My computer has been down for 8 months now and it's so hard to blog on my phone! BUT I've been reading and will have some posts soon! I'm hoping to become an ARC and reviewer for Jennifer armentrout! Merry Christmas everyone!! I've just finished recipe for disaster by Stacey ballis and loved it! i'm finishing up winners curse now and am really enjoying it as well! Hope all Is well with everyone and you get lots of books for Christmas! I've been teaching my 5 year old to read and he's getting literally about 50 books for Christmas! Not even exaggerating! I'm so happy to see him reading and loving it! We read together nightly! many of the books I got him are his reading level or fairly close to it so he can read them with help., but I also got him the first six dragon wings books and the illustrated Harry Potter and the sorcerers stone as well to read with me and have me read to him! This the season to spread book cheer! :) hope your stockings are stuffed with at least one book! So much love- Bookishmom

What i'm up to!

Hey readers!!

So i'm heading to work and on breaks I'll be finishing up Winter by Marisa Meyer! BUT I wanted to share a shop I found and love on etsy! I don't know about you but I love having a warmer or candle going to set the mood while I read. The scents make me calm and happy! So I recently placed an order for THIS candle and I LOVE it! It came wrapped up with a bow and everything! I've already placed two orders and want to place another! I gave this purchase five stars! She was super quick with responses and shipping- although buying one candle at a time does save you on shipping due to weight. She was kind and even included a few tea candles for me to try out which I loved! So i would you need some awesome soy candles check her out! Soy candles are better for the air and smell better if you ask me! And these are really priced well! I love them! I'll be back for sure and she will even do custom scents! I see some Harry Potter scent requests in her future. Lol

Other thank that I've been shopping and working! My son's birthday is tomorrow and you can bet he got a bunch of new books for us to read together! :D can't wait to bond over new books!!

Hope you enjoy! Tell me what you're reading!!

See you soon- Bookish Mom

The lunar chronicles by Marissa Meyer

Hey readers!! I'm sorry I've been so absent!! I moved, had my computer crash, started a new job and just unpacked my computer and got it working when i discovered the Internet at my new place super sucks. So please bear with me.

I started this series because i heard the hype but all i knew is that it was a fairytale retelling of a cyborg Cinderella. This is all I'm going to tell YOU about the book because the not knowing made this series soooo much better! Now I'm currently reading Winter, the conclusion to the series and i own Fairest and will read that after winter but i wanted to post about this series anyways. I LOVED CINDER. everything about Cinder was awesome. WHO cinder turns out to be was pretty obvious from the beginning but other than that the storyline is amazing. The characters are amazing and the plot is amazing. CINDER is a bad ass. Now in Scarlet and Cress i was actually a little disappointed i didn't get to just read about Cinder, but i loved that Cinder was still moving the lot forward and we still got her story and more. Cinder is the best retelling I've ever read to date. The first three books I've read have been awesome. Winter is going a little slower for me but i think that's because i want stuff to happen already. Cinder, Scarlet and Cress were all full of really strong characters. Their personalities are all unique and they have quite strong females. I really enjoy the personalities and relationships in these books. So far Winter is a little coo coo for coco puffs, and i haven't connected with her as a person, and Levanna...well i want to know why she wears that ring and what it means to her which I'm sure to find out in Fairest. But so far Cinder, the first book is my favorite. Cinder and Kaito are my favorite characters, even though Cinderella's Disney version and snow white are my least favorite princesses. Marissa Meyer reinvents these old fairy tales and turns them into new and engrossing tales of strength, willpower and overcoming adversity and not to mention just plain girl power. Which i think in the earlier Disney movies, girls were very much damsels in distress and here in this amazing world they are the power houses. NONE of the women you meet in this series are helpless or untalented. i LOVED that about this series. I never would have guessed any of their jobs based on the reviews i had read and i read a ton, and i love that because that surprise i felt from the first chapter stuck with me. These chicks will stop at nothing to make sure the world is righted and they protect those they love. Sure each character has flaws but boy are they each still strong and interesting. I love this series and keep trying to find awesome quotes and tattoos from the books and haven't found much yet but i love it so much i will be stealing quotes for my wall and possibly even my skin one day. Just read them. If a cyborg Cinderella doesn't sound up your alley but bad ass princess or just bad ass chick does- read it. Just do it. I already have heartless by Marissa on my to-read list. Which is her soon to come Alice in wonderland retelling.

My best friend actually loves to read but has been in a reading slump and i found this series really really cheap on bookoutlet.com and Cinder was less than $3 so i bought her a copy and sent it to her because i thought she would love it. So if you love it, shout it out here and share your love!!

Sound like you need this book or you wanna check it out?? HERE is the link to the amazon page so you can read about all of them on amazon.

HERE is the first FIVE chapters of Cinder on kindle for FREE.

A court of mist and fury by Sarah J Maas- review

Hello readers!!!

I just finished this book and as promised here comes my review! Five stars. I loved this book! The court of thrones and roses was good but I wasn't amazed. This book on the other hand kept me guessing and on my toes. The ending!!!!! Ugh!! Guys I cant wait for the next book!!!! Prepare for spoilers because i'm about to get real! So if you don't want to read spoilers just know I gave it five stars and go buy it. Then thank me in the comments! ;)


So this book is so much more than I expected! This book really touched on emotional abuse and the delusions of the abuser. Now i'm going to get personal with you guys. My ex-husband was very emotionally abusive, and like Tamlin he appeared to be a Prince Charming until I fought against his control. He Let me do what I wanted until he married me. Then isolated me, belittled me, Forced himself on me and MORE. What Tamlin does in this book reminds me of my exhusband a lot! He to the very end is convinced Feyre MUST love and want him. My exhusband did this same thing, even after I finally got away and divorced him he insisted I loved him and had delusions that he treated me "perfectly" he genuinely felt his lying, Stealing, cheating, emotional and sexual abuse was nothing compared to the love I had for him. He was wrong just as Tamlin was wrong. I love seeing Rhysand be the hero nobody expected! In the first book I thought he was just some arrogant prick and I got fiesty when others said they loved him. But we find out everything he did and he's not longer a "bad boy" (which aren't my type) and he becomes this true king! Feyre is his absolute equal and you see that by the end of the book. It was realistic that Feyre compared Rhysand and Tamlin, because I too have done this and wondered if the man I care about is being like my ex and trying to manipulate me or if there is a genuine reason for the things they do. This book hints at a few mates coming up! Lucien, fuck him for not helping Feyre and not stepping up but I hope he changes and steps up for Elain. Then Nesta! What will she be??  Obviously she is Cassian's mate and I love that! I think their fire will be perfect together and want them to both feel loved. Then Morrigan and Azriel!! I want them to finally make it happen and I think Az almost dying has made Mor realize that he's it. This book has so many elements! The parts that affected me most were the Feyre, Tamlin and Rhysand's growing story, because as I mentioned I've been there and in the first book I thought it HAD to be Tamlin because she sacrificed herself for him, but it's realistic again to see someone give their everything to the wrong person. I want to be someone's equal and be secure in feeling that I haven't picked wrong again. I also loved that it wasn't insta-love or insta-sex with Rhysand and Feyre. The guilt she felt was all a very real part of it too. I loved that everyone slowly became family to Feyre and it wasn't easy or instant either. I can't wait to see what everyone and their relationships become! Not to mention Amren! Where will she be in the next book? Who will she become?? I loved all the small little things in the first book that I look back on and go- damn it! I shouldn't saw that coming! or damn that was a good way to weave that in! I mean Rhys sending the music for Feyre! That was a clever way to show us he always cared. I'm worried that Feyre will have to bed Tamlin and the thought makes me sick to my stomach because he is a low life horrible high lord. I hope that Feyre gets her kicks in when she's there! I wonder what Lucien will do with Feyre back and I hope she kicks his ass too.  But I love that once the true bond was established it couldn't be broken and that true mates and equals remained! Ok, so basically I loved this book and will definitely be buying the next one!

So many things I want to know!! I need the next book!! Go get it!!! HERE is the link

Happy reading!! Tell me what you think!! - Bookish Mom
