I love to read. I read every night. Like a crazy amount. I will easily forgo sleep in order to finish a new book…which is fine until I have to wake up with my littles! LOL!
When I saw the link up at Lucky to Be in First, I knew I had to join in on the fun!
Here are a few of the books I have read recently and love! These are my top picks! It was actually hard to choose!
Here are a few of the books I have read recently and love! These are my top picks! It was actually hard to choose!
- Angel Fall by Susan Ee- SO good! This is actually a trilogy and I read them all!
- An Ember in the Ashes by Sabaa Tahir- Wow! This is a new book that will be a series. I was hesitant to read it because the author is relatively unknown…but I am on pins and needles waiting for the next book now!
- The Many Lives & Secret Sorrows of Josephine B. by Sandra Gulland – I am not a huge fan of historical fiction, or the French Revolution, or even Napoleon, but THIS book, ya’ll! Oh my word! SO good. Josephine is fascinating in this book. I had no idea how interesting she was. You totally get sucked into her world. The book is pricey, but worth every penny.
- The Beautiful and The Cursed– By Page Morgan- This is another trilogy ( I am seeing a pattern here). I loved this book. It is a little dark and Gothic, which normally does not interest me. The story line was inventive though! I totally pre-ordered the rest of the trilogy, which are now all available.
I don’t generally keep to read list, which is kinda of odd for someone who loves books as much as I do. I guess I read too fast before moving on to the next book! Here are a few I do want to read!
- House of Ivy and Sorrow interested me. It was on my Amazon Recommends list and I liked the cover. I am a magpie for interesting! LOL!
- Guided Math by Laney Sammons- I think I may have read this book awhile back, but I am doing some presentations on Guided Math and wanted to brush up on the research for the framework.
- The Last Great Dance on Earth– This is the last book in the Josephine trilogy from above. I am in the middle of the second one right now and can’t wait to see how her life plays out!
That is what I am reading right now! Want to link up? Go hop over to Lucky to Be in First and join in on the fun!

I'm glad I'm not the only one who will pull an all-nighter to read a good book. It really is a problem sometimes. The kids won't let me sleep the next day. 🙁 LOL

I know, April! I am the same way! Two year olds aren't exactly accommodating when I want to nap ! LOL ;)!
I would rather read than sleep – and I really love my sleep!!! Fun list you've put together!

Thank you! Sleep or read, sleep or read! Oh the decisions! Thanks so much for organizing this linky! So fun!
Sometimes I think it's dangerous to start a new book because I know I'm not going to get any sleep until it's done!

^^^THIS! LOL! I am so bad- I must sit and read books in one sitting or it kills me to wait! Unfortunately, this makes sleeping hard! LOL!
I choose reading over sleep on a regular basis, especially in the summer!
