New Bloggish Stuff

It’s January, which means it’s a new year! (In case you missed it, New Year’s Eve was on Wednesday). This means that I can finally implement the changes I’ve been planning since October!

First, if you look towards the left of the screen, you will notice that a rating system is being added. I’ve been wanting to do this for a while.
Also, if you look up, you’ll notice that I’ve created a review archive. That was fun to make.

And speaking of reviews, I have finally figured out a general format for them, which makes me happy.

In other news, Top Ten Tuesdays and Stacking the Shelves will continue on as usual. Sometimes there’ll be pictures or links, other times just a list because I’m lazy/busy.

I haven’t done one in a while, but my weekly wrap-ups, known as This Week in Books, will now be called This Week’s Adventures, and will hopefully start to become more elaborate.

Book Buying Limitations

As you can see here, last year’s book buying got a little out of hand.

To combat this, I’m giving myself a list of books I am allowed to buy. If it’s not on the list, I am not allowed to buy it.

Note: this list is still in progress, so it may change slightly in the near future.

Coming 2015:
The Ruby Circle, by Richelle Mead
The Last Time We Say Goodbye, by Cynthia Hand
Throne of Glass #4, by Sarah J. Maas
A Court of Thorns and Roses, by Sarah J. Maas
Rogue, by Julie Kagawa
The Forgotten Crown, by Julie Kagawa
Percy Jackson’s Greek Heroes, by Rick Riordan
The Sword of Summer, by Rick Riordan
Dangerous Deception, by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl
Half Wild, by Sally Green
Dead of Winter, by Kresley Cole
Let the Sky Fall #3, by Shannon Messenger
The Foretelling of Georgie Spider, by Ambelin Kwaymullina
Raven Cycle #4, by Maggie Stiefvater

Already out:
Prodigy and Champion, by Marie Lu
The Raven Boys and The Dream Thieves, by Maggie Stiefvater
The Shiver Trilogy, by Maggie Stiefvater
Illusions of Fate, by Kiersten White

So, last year, by final count, I was buying an average of 9 books per month.
To keep this up, I have to buy an average of 2 books per month.

Bookish Bingo Challenge

So, Maddie over at The Girly Geek has created this marvellous challenge which basically consists of this bingo card:

 

Overall, there are 45 challenges, to which I say:

This Week’s Topic: Top Ten Sequels I Can’t Wait To Get

1. The Ruby Circle, by Richelle Mead
FINAL BLOODLINES BOOK!

2. Half Wild, by Sally Green
Because Half Bad was amazing.

3. Throne of Glass #4, by Sarah J. Maas
Do I need to explain?

4. Rogue, by Julie Kagawa
Um…it’s Julie Kagawa. That is all.

5. The Dark World #2, by Cara Lynn Shultz
Because The Dark World was awesome! And Cara Lynn Shultz is awesome.

6. The Foretelling of Georgie Spider, by Ambelin Kwaymullina
Anyone who hasn’t read The Interrogation of Ashala Wolf needs to read it. And then needs to read book #2. So that I have someone to be excited with for book 3, because I don’t know anyone else who’s read this series!! *sobs*

7. The Raven Cycle #4, by Maggie Stiefvater
*hyperventilates excitedly*

8. Let the Sky Fall #3, by Shannon Messenger
*sobs because I wants it*

9. The Forgotten Crown, by Julie Kagawa
I know, two Julie Kagawa books in one list…BUT I WANT THEM!!

10. Captive, by Aimee Carter
Thankfully, this one comes out, like, next week.

BONUS: The Retribution of Mara Dyer, by Michelle Hodkin
IT WAS SUPPOSED TO COME OUT WEEKS AGO *sobs* But alas, it doesn’t come out until December in Australia. This is what I get for wanting all my editions to match.
