The TBR Tag


This is a tag created by The Book Belles and Dana Square. I was tagged by a couple of people on here and Instagram so I thought I'd do it now!


How do you keep track of your TBR pile?
I use Goodreads to add books I'd like to read to my to-read shelf but it's a bit of a mess. I don't own a lot of the books on there yet. As for the books I own on my TBR; they're all on their own shelf.

Is your TBR mostly print or ebooks?
Most of my TBR books are print. As most of you know by now, I'm not fond of ebooks.

How do you determine which book from your TBR to read next?
I don't have a system or any kind of organisation when it comes to what I read next. It's basically whatever I'm in the mood for.

A book that's been on your TBR list the longest:
Apparently it's To All The Boys I've Loved Before !


A book you recently added to your TBR:
Okay so I got a little excited about Christmas and all the xmas themed novellas that appear during the season... So I went to Goodreads and shelved a 'couple' of wintery books. This was the last one I TBR'd.


A book in your TBR strictly because of its beautiful cover:
I literally have no idea what this book is about...


A book on your TBR that you never plan on reading:


An unpublished book on your TBR that you're looking forward to:
The Stars Never Rise by Rachel Vincent. The cover is so so pretty! The whole story line sounds really interesting too.

A book on your TBR that basically everyone has read but you:
There are so many but this one was the first one I found on my Goodreads TBR!


A book on your TBR that everyone recommends to you:
The Infernal Devices series. Like all the time. I actually really  want to read them but other books keep taking priority.

A book on your TBR that you're dying to read:
I want to read this book SO BAD!!!


How many books are on your Goodreads TBR shelf?
Just.. ya know.. 562.  It just keeps on growing and new books are always coming out and I have no self control.


I am tagging you. Yes YOU, the reader! Leave your post links in the comments section of this post so I can check them out:)

Waiting On Wednesday #3



Sixteen-year-old Nina Kane should be worrying about her immortal soul, but she's too busy trying to actually survive. Her town's population has been decimated by soul-consuming demons, and souls are in short supply. Watching over her younger sister, Mellie, and scraping together food and money are all that matters. The two of them are a family. They gave up on their deadbeat mom a long time ago.
When Nina discovers that Mellie is keeping a secret that threatens their very existence, she'll do anything to protect her. Because in New Temperance, sins are prosecuted as crimes by the brutal Church and its army of black-robed exorcists. And Mellie's sin has put her in serious trouble.
To keep them both alive, Nina will need to trust Finn, a fugitive with deep green eyes who has already saved her life once and who might just be an exorcist. But what kind of exorcist wears a hoodie?
Wanted by the Church and hunted by dark forces, Nina knows she can't survive on her own. She needs Finn and his group of rogue friends just as much as they need her.
Look how pretty the cover is! I can't wait for this to release in June next year. It's a long, long time to wait but I will definitely be picking up a copy.

What book are you waiting for?:)

Cover Reveal: The Stars Never Rise by Rachel Vincent


Rachel Vincent has finally released the book cover for The Stars Never Rise and oh my goodness isn't it beautiful? Absolutely stunning in my opinion and I cannot wait to get my hands on this book *grins widely*

Here's what Rachel had to say about the cover:

"This is my first hardback, so in addition to the front and back cover and the spine, it has both front and back flaps.
I love the colors, and I love that if you zoom in, you can see stars in the title and on the back cover. The book is about teenage exorcist outlaws (How’s that for a short pitch?!?) and while that may not be obvious from the art itself, I think the tone of the art is dead-on. The book is about identity and self-discovery (butterfly from its cocoon, anyone?), and the objective nature of truth, and (like nearly every book I’ve ever written) fighting for what’s important, even in the face of overwhelming odds.
Also, MY NEW ART IS A BUTTERFLY ON FIRE! I can’t get over how awesome that is, and how relevant it feels to the main character, Nina Kane, and the fact that though she might look small and delicate on the outside, she is not to be messed with. Especially if you’re a demon, or have ever been mean to her little sister.
Unfortunately, the book is not up for pre-order yet, but I will certainly let you know when it is. Until then, please enjoy this beautiful new cover and leave any questions or comments below!"

Synopsis

Sixteen-year-old Nina Kane should be worrying about her immortal soul, but she's too busy trying to actually survive. Her town's population has been decimated by soul-consuming demons, and souls are in short supply. Watching over her younger sister, Mellie, and scraping together food and money are all that matters. The two of them are a family. They gave up on their deadbeat mom a long time ago.

When Nina discovers that Mellie is keeping a secret that threatens their very existence, she'll do anything to protect her. Because in New Temperance, sins are prosecuted as crimes by the brutal Church and its army of black-robed exorcists. And Mellie's sin has put her in serious trouble.

To keep them both alive, Nina will need to trust Finn, a fugitive with deep green eyes who has already saved her life once and who might just be an exorcist. But what kind of exorcist wears a hoodie?

Wanted by the Church and hunted by dark forces, Nina knows she can't survive on her own. She needs Finn and his group of rogue friends just as much as they need her.
