10. The Survival Kit
11. This is What Happy Looks Like

This is probably the most books I've ever read in a month before, which is pretty cool. Though that's probably because of all the contemps and french kissing. Bit of a theme for the summer, but alas, only in my reading habits. ;)

Book of the Month:

You know what, I can't really decide. I liked pretty much all of the books I read this month, but if I had to pick one, it'd probably be...

In other news, Google Reader is dead. But, you can still follow me via other feedreaders! The one I use is Bloglovin' because it's easy to use for a simpleton like myself, and you'll probably have noticed the huge, self-indulgent button on the sidebar by now which will (hopefully) enable you to follow me. It would be really nice if you still did want to hang out here, but I'm not offended if you don't really care. I'm trying not to be too in your face about this whole thing, because I'm pretty sure everybody knows about Google Reader dying and has sorted out their arrangements by now, so this'll probably be the last I have to say about it (again, apart from the great big 'FOLLOW ME' button on the sidebar...) (If you didn't notice it HERE  should be the link to it. Okay, I'm done now.)

In other, other news, it's nearly the summer holidays! Which means I'll probably actually have time to do stuff again! Yay! I may even be creative and post something that isn't a meme or a book review! But don't hold me up to this I don't want to let anybody down by not actually following through on what I'm saying right now!

Okay, so, that was June!

It feels a bit weird starting off the new year with a recap post, but hey! December was a pretty good month for me reading wise, and also in general because Christmas, though I didn't get any books.

Vicious review

Vicious V.E Schwab 10th January 2014 (UK) Titan Books (UK) Victor and Eli, due to a research project gone wrong, become ExtraOrdinaries with supernatural powers. Ten years later Victor escapes from prison,determined to get his revenge on the man who put him there, while Eli has spent the years hunting down and killing other EOs. Driven by the memory of betrayal and loss, the arch-nemeses have set a course for revenge... Vicious was a really interesting book that was kind of out of my usual reading comfort zone, I guess (it's an adult novel and I don't usually go there unless it's for college), but regardless of that it was book that I could not resist. I mean, science? Vengeance? Superpowers? Who could say no to that?! Not me, that's for sure. The real core of this novel is the relationship between Victor and Eli, how it all goes wrong and they are both sort of driven by each other towards this crazy path of revenge. From the start in college, their relationship is kind...

Dead Ends review

Dead Ends Erin Lange February 6th 2014 (UK) Faber (UK) Dane Washington and Billy D. couldn't be more different. Dane is clever and popular, but he's also a violent rebel. Billy D. has Down's syndrome, plays by the rules and hangs out with teachers in his lunch break. But Dane and Billy have more in common than they think - both their fathers are missing. They're going to have to suck up their differences and get on with helping each other. There are answers to be found. Powerful, funny, moving - the ultimate coming-of-age novel . I was a little surprised at how much I properly liked Dead Ends. I knew that I would like it, of course, because books about friendship are kind of what I'm all about a lot of the time. Don't know if I've ever mentioned that (I've definitely mentioned that I'm always going on about friendships I LOVE THEM). But I read it while I was having a bit of a Tamora Pierce thing and I thought I was only in the mood for 90s YA fantasy...
