This week’s Top Ten Tuesday on The Broke and the Bookish is “Top Ten Books I Read in 2013” you know, just to keep things easy. I didn’t read a TON of books that were actually published in 2013, so I’m going to include a couple that I’ve only read part of but not finished. READ MORE

BOOK REVIEW | OBSIDIAN – JENNIFER L. ARMENTROUT
Starting over sucks. When we moved to West Virginia right before my senior year, I’d pretty much resigned myself to thick accents, dodgy internet access, and a whole lot of boring…. until I spotted my hot neighbor, with his looming height and eerie green eyes.

LINK-UP | STACKING THE SHELVES #1
Time to look at the books I added to my shelves this week with Stacking the Shelves hosted by Tynga’s Reviews! This week I got a fair few new books – partly books I’ve put off picking up from the bookstore over the holidays and partly because… well, it’s Christmas week! Here are the READ MORE
BOOKISH SURVEY | CAST AN HP SPELL – PART1
I came across this bookish survey on Flip That Page and it totally appealed to me – partly because I just love surveys, and partly because… well, Harry Potter.

BOOK REVIEW | THE RAVEN BOYS – MAGGIE STIEFVATER
“There are only two reasons a non-seer would see a spirit on St. Mark’s Eve,” Neeve said. “Either you’re his true love . . . or you killed him.” It is freezing in the churchyard, even before the dead arrive. Every year, Blue Sargent stands next to her clairvoyant mother as the soon-to-be dead walk READ MORE

BOOK REVIEW | INSURGENT – VERONICA ROTH
One choice can transform you, or destroy you. Every choice has consequences, and as unrest surges in the factions all around her, Tris Prior must continue trying to save those she loves, and herself, while grappling with haunting questions of grief and forgiveness, identity and loyalty, politics and love. – Goodreads description —— **WARNING: READ MORE
TOP TEN TUESDAY | BOOKS ON MY WINTER TBR LIST
This week’s Top Ten Tuesday on The Broke and the Bookish is a seasonal one – the 10 books on my winter TBR list! I’m not entirely sure what this means. Does it mean books that are cosy for warding off a winter chill? Books about winter? Christmas books? I’m not really sure, but I’ve READ MORE
WWW WEDNESDAYS | DECEMBER 4, 2013
It’s time for this week’s WWW Wednesdays, hosted by Should Be Reading blog (head over and check them out!). This link up asks three questions: What are you currently reading?
