TGIF (29): Choose Your Next Read



TGIF is a weekly meme created and hosted by Ginger of GReads! that recaps the week's posts and has a different question each week.

Question: How do you go about choosing what you read next?  Do you have a schedule you follow, or do you read whatever makes you happy at the moment?

My Answer: Usually it depends on what blog tours I'm participating in because those titles usually take priority.  However, if there is enough time in between, I typically read whatever makes me happy at the moment.  Sometimes, if I've been on a reading hiatus, I read a contemporary young adult novel to help get me back in the reading groove.  What I have on schedule for the fall is Anew by Chelsea Fine and Amarok by Angela J. Townsend.  I'm looking forward to reading both books.  ^_^

Stacking the Shelves (9)


We are all book lovers and the need to share our enthusiasm is sometimes overwhelming. Stacking the Shelves, created and hosted at Tynga's Reviews, is all about sharing the books you are adding to your shelves, may it be physical or virtual. This means you can include books you buy in stores or online, books you borrow from friends or the library, review books, gifts, and of course ebooks!

For Review:

Amarok ARC by Angela J. Townsend (From Spencer Hill Press)
Wild Ink by Victoria Hanley (From Prufrock Press thanks to LibraryThing)
I'm really excited to read Amarok and also to have a great writing tool like Wild Ink.

Bought: 

Forbidden by Tabitha Suzuma (Bought)
Haunted by Joy Preble (Bought & Signed)
Anastasia Forever by Joy Preble (Bought & Signed)
It was so exciting helping Joy Preble celebrate the completion of her Dreaming Anastasia trilogy. I look forward to seeing future books from her. ^_^  Also, Christin from Portrait of a Book nudged me into getting Forbidden, so hopefully I'll be able to read it soon.

From Library:

A Bride's Story Volume 2 by Kaoru Mori (From Library)
Half-Blood by Jennifer L. Armentrout (From Library, sorry about the Interlibrary Loan tag)
Cinder by Marissa Meyer (From Library)
My library is so efficient when it comes to getting the requested books I want to read.  Looks like August will be a very good month of library books. 

That's all for my shelves the past couple of weeks.  
What did you stack on your shelves?
