Shelved:
 March 18, 2014 and shelved in my "I'll Finish Later". I got to 25% in this book before DNF occurred.  So, I had already tried reading it and decided to give it a go later on. Ha.

I've notes: I need sleep... So far I've learned what "kitbag" is. These aren't promising notes on a book. 

Survive? Weed?: I tried to read this. I know I am not a Harry Potter fan and liked her book Casual Vacancy. This is a series so I'm removing it from my TBR.

So far I've removed two books through this process. Also, for some reason my TBR list is out of order. I find that odd.

What are your thoughts on this book? Am I saving myself ? Is this worthwhile to try to pursue?

#Goodreads 5 Books Read in 2013 Reading Challenge


Yes, the 2013 sign with a piggy is appropriate for this.

In 2013 I didn't complete my reading challenge of reading 10 books that year. I have no idea what went on that year. I was in college so I can only assume the school year I was swamped with required reading, homework and wishing for death.

5 Books I read in 2013:



The Casual Vacancy by J. K. Rowling -- no wizarding worlds just plain life and the shitty people in them. It took me April, 2013 until December 30, 2013 to finish this.

It's a great read if you need to read something that is disturbing and depressing about a small town. It was hard to get into but it is interestingly enough to read.



Thirst by Claire Farrell about Ava Delaney who is a hybrid of human and vampire. This is a quick read with a few problems in story line / plot. But it's amusing enough.






The Fault in Our Stars by John Green. Teenagers with cancer fall in love and things happen along the way. I read this because we were going to watch the movie. I prefer the movie over the book.






Succubus Blues by Richelle Mead. I started this because I fell in love with the Vampire Academy books. I didn't like this and haven't tried anything else by her since.







Gandhi by Amy Pastan. Read this for my in2books.com penpal program. Now apparently called Crickettogether
