November Wrap Up

This November was Series Marathoning month, and the TBR ended up going through a few changes, but I had a good reading month and I read some really great books.

Friday Reads - November 29, 2013

Happy Friday! This weekend will be an interesting one. I'm a little behind in reading- I thought I would be done with the Precious Stone trilogy, but I've begun to feel an inkling of a reading slump coming on in the beginning of Emerald Green. Probably just because I don't want to finish the series, but I'm not sure. I've been reading samples of some other books, and if it persists I might just jump into Crown of Midnight and come back to Emerald Green in December. So this weekend's reads are kind of up in the air. How about you? Happy reading!

A Series in Summation - Percy Jackson and the Olympians by Rick Riordan

Let's talk about one of the series I read in November- Percy Jackson. No, I hadn't read this before hand and a few of my friends kept telling me how great these books were, so I picked them up. Now, since I already discuss all of the individual books in my monthly wrap up that's coming, and I am definitely going to be discussing this series on the blog because I do love it, we aren't going to have a book by book breakdown on this post. Stay tuned until the end of the month for that info. For now, let's talk about the series as a whole.

Waiting on Wednesday - The Warrior by Victoria Scott

Welcome back to Paper Worlds and Swirls of Ink! Today's another Waiting on Wednesday post for you guys! This is a weekly feature that's hosted over at Breaking the Spine, and it's a great opportunity to highlight some books coming out that I'm excited to read. Last week, we talked about Unhinged, the sequel to Splintered, and I've got another book in a series that I'm spotlighting today!

Top Ten Tuesday - Top Ten Things I Am Thankful For

Welcome back to Top Ten Tuesday, and this week's theme is the Top Ten Things I Am Thankful For. I decided to make this a book edition and include books that really moved me or that I am especially thankful that I've read. Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme from The Broke and the Bookish.
These books are in no particular order, but they are all near and dear to me.

Friday Reads November 25, 2013

Welcome to a very brief Friday Reads post. This weekend I will be finishing up the Precious Stone trilogy by Kerstin Gier. This is a time traveling series, and I originally read Ruby Red about three years ago, but I reread it and enjoyed it a lot more this time. I'm currently in the very beginning of Sapphire Blue, and since I read Ruby Red very quickly (it's difficult to put that book down) I have a feeling I'll probably be done or nearly done with the trilogy by the end of this weekend. Happy reading!

Waiting on Wednesday - Unhinged by A.G. Howard

Welcome to another weekly meme! This is Waiting on Wednesday, hosted over at Breaking the Spine. This is a weekly feature highlighting some upcoming books you just can't wait to dive into. This week's feature is probably one of my most anticipated sequels to come out next year and I can't wait to share it with you all!

Top Ten Tuesday - Top Ten Books I'd Recommend to a Middle Schooler

I had heard about Top Ten Tuesdays ages ago when I'd first started following some book blogs. I'm so excited to bring it here to Paper Worlds. Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme that has different preset lists and is hosted at Broke and Bookish. This week's theme was Top Ten Books I'd Recommend to (insert a category of person here) and I picked a middle school reader.

Reading Review - Poison Dance by Livia Blackburne

Hi again! Today we are going to be talking about Poison Dance, a novella by Livia King Blackburne. This novella focuses on James, who will be a character in the novel that releases in 2014, Midnight Thief. I was really interested in Midnight Thief when I read its summary, and the mysterious leader of the Assassin Guild definitely sounded like a character I would be interested in meeting. Well, Poison Dance is his backstory, and it was fantastic to meet James. He is going to be a character to watch in Midnight Thief, and this was a great way to get to know him.

Friday Reads November 15, 2013

Welcome to another Friday Reads here at Paper Worlds. Currently, I'm still reading the Percy Jackson series, but I will definitely be finishing up this weekend. I'm about 50 pages from the end of book 4, The Battle of the Labyrinth. I'm enjoying it but this book has definitely taken me longer than I thought it would to get through, simply because it was a busy week. So, this weekend I'm going to be finishing up Percy Jackson and the Olympians series. I've really been enjoying the series and I'm sad to see it end, but I have the Heroes of Olympus series to marathon sometime in 2014. Back to this weekend, I have a novella I'm going to read and review after I finish The Last Olympian, and then I'm going to start the Precious Stone trilogy by Kerstin Gier, starting by rereading the first book, Ruby Red. 
So there's a bit of a book filled weekend. I'm definitely excited for it. Happy reading!
