Friday Finds/Freebie Friday #13

 
 
Friday Finds is a blog meme hosted over at Should Be Reading that highlights the books you found and added to your To Be Read list, whether you found them online or in a bookstore and etc. They are not necessarily books that you purchased!

[My to-read list on Goodreads is over 900 currently so I've probably already added everything and just might be able to keep these lists to a minimum.]
 
Here are the books I'm showcasing for this week!

Apologies

Many apologies to my followers for being MIA a lot for the past few weeks. I'm stuck in the busiest parts of buying a house, moving, and the plethora of responsibilities that those major life-changers entail. I just have not had the time to update the blog or write up my reviews. When life moves along at a breakneck pace like this, the little things have to take the backburner. I've only finished TWO books this month and one of those was started in July! That's how busy I've been! That's the least amount of books I've read half-way through the month so far this year! Hopefully I'll be able to catch up on everything, including my TBR pile, which keeps steadily growing.

I promise to have a Freebie Friday & Stacking the Shelves post up in the next couple of days!
Don't give up on me! I'll be back soon!

(The worst part of this all is slowly packing up my 1000+ books! I don't like having half-empty shelves! But sacrafices have to be made for the betterment of life and living space!)

Booking Through Thursday #11

 
 
Booking Through Thursday is a weekly meme hosted by Booking Through Thursday.


Today's Topic:
All other things being equal (good writing, enthralling story, etc), which would you rather read—something serious, angsty, and tragic? Or something light, fluffy, and fun? Or a blend of both? (Since, really, isn’t that how real life works?)

______________

It's been a few weeks since I've done a Booking Through Thursday. I've just been caught up in life outside of  the internet (Wait. There's life outside the internet? Who knew!) and have been taking care of other things. I still am, actually. I just didn't want to neglect my blog too much so I came back to do today's meme.

 I very much prefer something adventurous. If it is fun and full of adventure, I will read it and love it. That's not to say that I like light and fluffy reads. If it's too light, I'm not going to enjoy it as much. I like a good complex adventure with tons of twists and turns, like a rollercoaster. (Rollercoasters are my favorite ride, by the way.) That may be why I love reading middle-grade books and young-adult novels even though I'm in my 20's. My favorite genre to read is fantasy and those are full of adventures. I'd rather read The Hobbit or something about a living in the woods or going on a grand quest than to read something about divorcing couples, murder cases, etc anyday. Life is boring enough as it is. I spruce mine up with a good fun-filled read. :)

WWW Wednesday #10

 
 
 
 Hosted by MizB at Should Be Reading
 
[First of all, I apologize for being MIA for the past week or two. I've been house hunting, driving all over the state, and dealing with a bunch of other things that have kept me from reading or catching up with my reviews. I hope to get back on track soon.]
 
To play along, just answer the following three (3) questions…
• What are you currently reading?
• What did you recently finish reading?
• What do you think you’ll read next?

Stacking the Shelves is a weekly meme hosted by Tynga's Reviews that features the books we bought, borrowed, were gifted, and were given for review. 

I meant to get this up sooner but I knew that I'd be getting something in the mail today and my mail runs really late (like 4:00 pm late) so I figured I should wait.

Many thanks to Braine & Debbie from Talk Supe
