Title: Rags & Bones.
Author: Melissa Marr.
Summary:

"From Sir Edmund Spenser's The Faerie Queene to E. M. Forster's "The Machine Stops," literature is filled with sexy, deadly, and downright twisted tales. In this collection, award-winning and bestselling authors reimagine their favorite classic stories, the ones that have inspired, awed, and enraged them, the ones that have become ingrained in modern culture, and the ones that have been too long overlooked. They take these stories and boil them down to their bones, and reassemble them for a new generation of readers.

Written from a twenty-first century perspective and set within the realms of science fiction, dystopian fiction, fantasy, and realistic fiction, these short stories are as moving and thought provoking as their originators. They pay homage to groundbreaking literary achievements of the past while celebrating each author's unique perception and innovative style."

My First Few Weeks of University!

Welcome to Turning Pages!

So if you've been stopping by within the last two or so weeks, than you might have noticed that I haven't been posting as much (as I would like to). Well that's because University has just started for me!

Last June I graduated from High School, and spent three and a half months reading and blogging to my heart's desire. And I thought I would be able to continue at the pace I was going, but within the first week of college (which was actually only two days, because it started halfway through the week) I knew that this wasn't going to happen!

I was drowning in homework the first two weeks; seriously I came home from class and did nothing but homework...I almost forgot to eat!

With the third week of school in session, I've been able to get things under control and almost have a system set up. (Which is why I have the time to do some blogging right now!!) I'm doing homework the day it's assigned, instead of pushing it off, which will not only allow for more free time, but also much less stress.

I love reading and blogging, and it's something I hope to do for a really long time. But schools important as well, so I'm trying to balance the two out, along with life and whatever else comes with it.

I'm trying my best right now to get the hang of things, and I'm doing much better right now than I did the first week of school. But I'm still working out some kinks. So please be patient with me, things will be back to normal very soon!

It's Monday, What Am I Reading?

Title: All The Truth That's In Me.
Author: Julie Berry.
Summary:

"Four years ago, Judith and her best friend disappeared from their small town of Roswell Station. Two years ago, only Judith returned, permanently mutilated, reviled and ignored by those who were once her friends and family. Unable to speak, Judith lives like a ghost in her own home, silently pouring out her thoughts to the boy who’s owned her heart as long as she can remember—even if he doesn’t know it—her childhood friend, Lucas. But when Roswell Station is attacked, long-buried secrets come to light, and Judith is forced to choose: continue to live in silence, or recover her voice, even if it means changing her world, and the lives around her, forever. This startlingly original novel will shock and disturb you; it will fill you with Judith’s passion and longing; and its mysteries will keep you feverishly turning the pages until the very last."

My Thoughts So Far:

I'm almost through this book, and am excited to post my review. It wasn't like anything I've read before, and I guess you'll have to wait for my review to know what I mean by that. I can't seem to stop raving about the cover; it looks gorgeous! Really happy I got the chance to read this one!

Welcome to Turning Pages!

What am I currently reading?

I just started All The Truth That's In Me, by Julie Berry. While I love the cover, I'm not quite sure how I feel about the story yet! I'll have to do some more reading before I have an opinion. 

What did I just finish reading?

Well with University starting up two weeks ago, I've been drowning in homework and assignments, so I haven't gotten much (fun) reading done. But I'm trying to schedule everything, and balance it all out. So the last book I read was Zombie Blondes by James Brian. I really enjoyed this one! It was a new twist on the whole Zombie theme!

What do I plan on reading next?

If you want to see what I hope to read in the entire month of October, feel free to check out my TBR for October. But the book I plan on reading next is The Replacement by Brenna Yovanoff! This book has been on my shelf for a VERY long time, and it finally needs to get read. I've heard amazing things, but I still, for some reason, haven't picked it up yet.

My Thoughts So Far:

I haven't started reading this one yet, because I literally just finished the last page of another book. But this cover looks amazing! And the synopsis as well! I can't wait to see how it goes, I have high hopes!
