July Reading Wrap Up

I had quite a slow reading month to be honest. I’ve been too preoccupied with CampNaNoWriMo to really do much reading. What I did read though I enjoyed for the most part. I was a little disappointed with Very Good Lives, I would not have brought that for the £10 they want for it, thankfully I only spent £5 on it so it wasn’t too bad. I think I was expecting something more from it than what I got so I could only give it three stars.

I am quite proud of myself for finishing my first book on writing. If you are interested in fiction writing then I really recommend Bird by Bird. It educated me about a few things while making me laugh at the same time. It didn’t read like a textbook at all and the chapters were just the right length that I never got bored.

I managed to catch up with all of the manga that has been released for SAO now so you won’t be seeing that again anytime soon and I carried on reading Ouran High School Host Club, I have now completed my collection so I can binge read the rest whenever I want to.

Other than that it has been a very quiet month of writing. Below you can find the titles of the books I read this month and Goodreads links to them.

Sword Art Online: Phantom Bullet, Vol. 1  by  Reki Kawahara, Illustrated by Koutarou Yamada

Sword Art Online: Aincrad, Vol. 1  (Light novel) by Reki Kawahara

Mid Year Book Freak Out Tag

We’re now over half way through the year so I thought it would be a good time to reflect back on my reading year so far. I know I haven’t been blogging much but I m still very much reading!

Lets get on with it shall we?

Best Book You’ve Read So Far This Year

Vicious by V.E. Schwab

I have to admit I haven’t read many novels this year focusing mostly on manga but of the few I have read Vicious is the best one so far. I have so many books on my TBR list so I’m not sure if this will stay as my favourite of the year. We’ll have to wait and see.

Best Sequel You’ve Read So Far in 2015

City of Lost Souls (The Mortal Instruments, #5) by Cassandra Clare

I know a lot of people don’t like this book as much as the others but I loved the ending of this book. it really made me want to read the last book in the series (which I did immediately after and loved it).

New Release You Haven’t Read Yet, But Want To

This Savage Song by V.E. Schwab 

A Gathering of Shadows (Shades of Magic #2) by V.E. Schwab

On The Other Side by Carrie Hope Fletcher 

Can you tell I want to read more V.E. Schwab? I think this is turning into an appreciation post for her. This Savage Song sounds amazing and I read A Darker Shade of Magic last year but was disappointed with it but I want to carry on with the series none the less. I brought On The Other Side today so (fingers crossed) I’ll read it really soon. I read the synopsis and it has me really intrigued.

Most Anticipated Release For The Second Half Of The Year

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets: Illustrated Edition by J.K. Rowling and Jim Kay 

Haikyuu! Volume 1 by Haruichi Furudate

I have watched both season 1 & 2 of Haikyuu multiple times and love it with a passion so when I heard that they were translating the manga into English I had to pre-order it ASAP!

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child by J.K. Rowling, Jack Thorne, John Tiffany

Biggest Disappointment

Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden

I love the movie of this and it has been one of my favourites for years, this book has been on my TBR shelf for years. I finally picked it up this year but I found that I found it lacking compared to the film. I think because I love the film so much it has effected the way I view this book. I think I went in with too high expectations and they weren’t met.

Biggest Surprise

Death Note: Black Edition, Vol. 1 by Tsugumi Ohba, Taskeshi Obata (Illustrator), Tetsuichiro Miyaki (Translator)

I am kind of including this with the anime because they’re basically the same thing. I found the anime on Netflix (of course) after hearing about it for years. If you’re into anime then you will know about Death Note but I never got around to watching it. I did and I won’t look back. This was so good!

Favourite New Author (Debut or New to You)

I can’t really answer this as I have no answer. The new authors I’ve read this year just haven’t struck a cord with me unlike last year when at this point I had three new favourite authors. Hopefully I’ll find someone by the end of the year.

Newest Fictional Crush

Rin Okumura (Blue Exorcist) 

Kirito\Kazuto (Sword Art Online)

Simon Lewis (Mortal Instruments)

Newest Favourite Character

Light Yagami & L (Death Note)

These two kind of go together for me. They have such a complex relationship\friendship that I love watching them together. I can’t really go into it because of spoilers but lets just say I lost some of my love for it when a certain ‘something’ happened.

Book That Made You Cry

Again I have no answer for this. Doing this tag is really making me see how much I miss out when I read mostly manga.

Book That Made You Happy

I have a whole load of books I could talk about here but I think I’ll go with my favourite.

Shaman King Volume 1 by Hiroyuki Takei

I had so much fun re-reading this, it brought back so many memories!

Favourite Book to Film Adaptation You Saw This Year

The Hunger Games: MockingJay Part 2

Favourite Review You’ve Written This Year

*Whistles*

Most Beautiful Book You’ve Bought So Far This Year (Or Received)

This Savage Song by V.E. Schwab

City of Heavenly Fire by Cassandra Clare

What Books Do You Need To Read By The End of the Year?

Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs

Zen in the Art of Writing: Essays on Creativity by Ray Bradbury

I’m currently doing a lot of writing but I have only read one book on writing as of this month. I really want to read more about the art of writing and educate myself more.

Who do you tag?

I’m pretty late to this party so I think everyone has already done this in some way. if you haven’t however then I tag you 🙂

Well there we have it, if you stayed to the end of this then I applaud you and thank you. Hope you found this insight into my reading habits interesting and I’ll see you again soon.

Until Next Time,

I Brought LOADS of Books\Manga! (April & May collective Haul)

Soo I may have been a little excessive in my book buying but when you read manga you get through them really fast! I’ve read most of these books already so I don’t feel too bad about it. My bank account disagrees with me though …

I’m not going to ramble on and on so here are the books I brought in the months of April and May 🙂

April

Fairy Tail Volumes 5 & 7 by Hiro Mashima

I only brought 5 & 7 because I brought them for my sister. She is collecting them at the minute so I’ll read them eventually.

Shaman King by Hiroyuki Takei 

Volumes 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25 & 26

Yeah … at least I’ve read all of them 🙂

The Silkworm by Robert Galbraith 

I want to continue to collect these to add to my JKR collection. I’ve read Cuckoo’s Calling and really enjoyed it so I’m hoping that I like this one too.

Death Note by Tsugumi Ohba & Takeshi Obata

Volumes 4, 5 & 6

I still haven’t read the last two volumes of this yet because I know what is going to happen but I don’t want to go through it again. I will get past it eventually but the pain is still real.

May

 

Shaman King by Hiroyuki Takei 

Volumes 27, 28, 29, 30, 31 & 32

I finished the series by getting these and I am debating over doing a blog post talking about this series. I might try one out and if I like it I’ll post it. I have a lot of feelings about this series of books.

---

Looks like I was better than I thought last month. I thought I brought way more but I stand corrected. I really should start planning these ahead of time before writing them but it is a hard habit to break. I am really pleased with myself actually seeing as I have read almost all of these books. It feels like it at least. Now that I have completed my Shaman King collection I plan to finish another series I began collecting a long time ago. Thankfully I am only missing five books, three of which I have already purchased and are on their way to me.

There are a total of 24 books here! Wow I need to slow it down a pace. As I said now that I have finished my collection I doubt I will be buying as many books in such a small space of time but I can’t tell the future so we’ll have to wait and see.

I am bound to have missed something off but that is all I’m going to leave you with for now.

Thanks for reading 🙂

Until Next Time,

Intimidating TBR Tag

I saw this tag going around on youtube last month and really enjoyed watching everyone’s videos so I decided to have a go at it myself. I don’t have the biggest TBR that I’ve ever seen, in fact I have been steadily whittling it down over the past few months (hope I didn’t just jinx it) but I still have enough to easily do this tag. The original video for this tag has been taken down so I can’t credit the creator but if I could I would 🙂

What book have you been unable to finish?

The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien 

I tried reading this back when the first Hobbit film was released or around that time anyway and I made it halfway through before putting it down. I didn’t even make a conscious decision to stop reading i just forgot about it to be honest. I plan to try reading this again at some point but I think I want to try reading LotR first before going back.

What book have you yet to read but haven’t had the time? 

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R. Tolkien

Have you seen the size of this book? My edition at least has tiny writing which hurts my eyes after a while. I might invest in a better edition before trying this but we’ll see. This has been nagging at me for a while now so I might get around to this sooner than I think.

What book have you yet to read because it is a sequel?

 

 Cress by Marissa Meyer

Third in a series still counts right? I read Cinder and loved it. I read Scarlet: eh it was okay. Of course because I had mixed feelings about Scarlet it has put me off reading Cress. I want to carry on with the series though because I have heard nothing but good things about all of the other books and companion books in the series. I would like to complete my collection too but I can’t in good conscious buy the rest of the books when I still haven’t read Cress!

What book have you yet to read because it is brand new?

This Savage Song by V.E. Schwab

What book have you yet to read because you read a book by the same author and didn’t enjoy it?

Carry On by Rainbow Rowell 

I didn’t enjoy Fangirl. I have made no secret of it. There was something about the story I could not connect to and maybe it was because at the time I read it it was too close to my own situation for me to enjoy it. I don’t know but because I didn’t enjoy Fangirl it has made me a little reluctant to read this. I love the sound of the synopsis though and liked the Simon Snow parts of Fangirl hence why I brought it. I’ll read it eventually but I don’t know when yet.

What book are you yet to read because you’re just not in the mood for it? 

Assassins Apprentice by Robin Hobb

I really want to read this but every time I look at it I am reminded that this is the first book in a massive series of books and it just causes me to skip over it.

What book have you yet to read because it is humongous?

Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin 

I think this is a popular answer for this question. It would not surprise me in the least. This is a beast of a book and the others in the series are nothing to ignore either!

What book have you yet to read because it was a cover buy and it ended up not having very good reviews? 

The Alchemyst by Micheal Scott

Technically this was not a cover buy it was an impulse buy. One of the youtubers I follow recommended this book when I first started watching Booktube videos and I decided to buy it. I still haven’t read it and I am not even sure what it is about. I assume it has something to do with magic though by the title.

What is the most intimidating book on your TBR?

Battle Royale by  Koushun Takami, Translated by Nathan Collins

I’ve read a quarter of this and it took me an age! The gore and the writing style took me a long time to get to grips with not to mention the amount of names you have to remember. It makes it a little hard to connect with the characters and be sad about their deaths when you can’t even remember their names.

Who do I tag?

If you’re interested in doing this tag and have yet to do it then please feel free, if you do it because you’ve read this post then please leave a comment and a link I’d love to see your answers.

I know it has been a while since I last did a blog post but I was feeling uninspired for a while I have a few ideas for upcoming posts so I should be posting new content soon 🙂

Thank you for reading and,

Until Next Time,

Thoughts: Harry Potter and the Cursed Child Script Book

Okay so we all know that I am a huge Harry Potter fan (who isn’t?) but I’m not too sure about this new script book that J.K Rowling is releasing following the opening of the play in London.

I love the fact that we can know the story of the play even if we can’t see it, regardless of what country we live in. I think it is great that we can read it even though it isn’t an actual novel but I would have preferred it if it had been in novel form.

I have read plays before while I was in university and even before that when I was in high school but I’ve never really been able to enjoy myself while reading them. I find it incredibly hard to immerse myself in the story when there are stage directions and such interfering. That is probably one of the reasons I’ve never been able to finish reading a Shakespeare play before. It takes me a long time to understand what is happening and what I should be visualising in my head.

I will most likely end up buying the script book anyway but I’m going to try and get tickets to see it in person (I doubt it’ll actually happen though, I think they sold out a long, long time ago).

All of that said I am internally and externally fangirling so hard over the fact that we are getting so much Harry Potter related content this year. We’ve got the play\script, Fantastic Beasts, the new Pottermore, Harry Potter colouring books and Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets Illustrated Edition not forgetting the new Funko Pop figurines (Sirius Black you will be in my hands soon!)

What are your opinions on the script book? Are you happy? Would you have preferred it as a new novel instead of a script? What are you most looking forward to? I think I’m most excited for the film truth be told. It looks amazing!

Until next time,

Top Ten Tuesday #18 – Best Books I’ve Read in 2015

This week we’re all talking about the Top Ten Books we’ve Read in 2015 and as soon as I saw this topic I knew I had to get my hands on it and give it a shot. So here we are, it’s the end of 2015 and this is the list of my favourite reads of this year.

Top Ten Tuesday is created and hosted over at TheBrokeandBookish, head on over there if you’re interested in finding out more about this weekly bookish meme.

NUMBER 10

Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma Vol. 1 by Yuuto Tsukuda, Shun Saeki and Yuki Morisaki

This is mainly on the list because I loved the anime and I think that translated back to the manga when I read it. I don’t know if I’ll continue collecting but I will watch it again if they make another season.

NUMBER 9

Twilight: Life and Death by Stephenie Meyer

I freaked out when I heard about this and I actually really enjoyed it. I mainly brought it because I was curious about the premise but after reading it I actually really liked it and I might even like it better than the original!

NUMBER 8

Avatar: The Last Airbender: The Promise Part 1 by Gene Luen Yang, Bryan Konietzko, Michael Dante DiMartino and Gurihiru

I thought that this was a really good opening comic to a series and I can’t wait to carry on collecting the series. If you like Avatar then you will probably really like this too. It carries on after the end of the final season and gives us a look into the events that happen after the final ‘battle’ and the long reaching consequences and problems that occur.

NUMBER 7

 Nimona by Noelle Stevenson (Reviewed)

I really enjoyed this book. At first I wasn’t sold on it but then the story fleshed out and by the end of the book I was really invested in the characters and I really wanted to know what happened. This is a good book to introduce someone into the genre of Graphic Novels.

NUMBER 6

Shadow Study by Maria V. Snyder

I was a little disappointed in this book truth be told. I didn’t really like the change in writing style that was introduced but I was so happy that she decided to continue with the series. I honestly thought that she had finished with it but turns out that there is going to be another two books. It was really nice to be able to read a new story about some of my favourite characters.

This was made even better by the fact that I got to meet the author Maria V. Snyder at a book signing and I even had the chance to interview her via email for a blog post!

NUMBER 5

A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E. Schwab (Reviewed)

I’m glad I read this this year. I want to try reading more of Victoria Schwab’s works and look forward to reading more in the new year. I was expecting to be blown away by this book but it fell a little flat for me unfortunately but I still enjoyed it enough for it to make this list.

NUMBER 4

Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson

This was one of the only classics I read this year but I’m glad I read it. I don’t know what I was expecting when I went into this but I really liked it and I hope to go back and read it again eventually.

NUMBER 3

The Cuckoo’s Calling by Robert Galbraith (Reviewed)

You’re probably wondering why this isn’t one of my top two. Well it’s because it took me a long time to read this and I was a little out of my comfort zone. This was the first detective novel I have read and it took some getting used to. I still marvel over the writing and the amount of detail J.K.R goes into. The characters were all so real and I could easily imagine them in my head right down to how they sounded. It was like I was transported into a TV show in my head.

I loved it and I plan to read the second book, The Silkworm as soon as I can. I plan to buy it in the January sales so I can grab Career of Evil around the same time.

NUMBER 2

Simon Vs The Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli (Reviewed)

I’m surprised too. When I read this I never expected it to be one of my favourite reads of the year but I really enjoyed reading this book. It was a quick read and deliciously sweet. I fell in love with this book because of the characters and the format. If you haven’t read this book yet then you seriously need to get a move on and pick it up!

NUMBER 1

The Martian by Andy Weir (Reviewed)

Yeah. I love this book. I will re-read this in the future. I loved this book so much I got my Mum to read it and she too loved it. I was surprised when I read this, I had been gifted this last Christmas and it took me months to pick it up. I have to admit the cover put me off.

This book had me on the edge of my seat so many times I lost count. I even started to annotate notes in the margins as I read because I found myself reacting to his sarcasm and responding with my own. I seriously loved this book and it deserves to have the top spot. I was a little late to this but I don’t care, I got there eventually and fell in love. This is a new favourite book and yes, this was the best book I read this year.

---

 

Well those are all of my top ten books of this year, are any of these on your list? Send me a link to your TTT I’d love to see your Top Books of 2015. I can’t wait to see what my list will be like next year!

Until next time,

Top Ten Tuesday #17 – Debut Authors to Further Explore

Well this is an interesting topic, I know one off the top of my head that I am going to include but the others are a mystery as of this moment.

As always if you’re interested in joining in TTT then head on over the host site the Broke and Bookish.

Andy Weir – The Martian

REVIEW

I read The Martian a few months ago and loved it, it is still the best book I have read so far this year and I can’t wait to see what he is going to do next.

Becky Albertalli – Simon Vs The Homo Sapiens Agenda

REVIEW

Again I read this a few months ago and I found it adorable. I would love to see another novel from her as I really liked her writing style.

Zoe Sugg – Girl Online

REVIEW

Technically she shouldn’t be on this list but I have only read her first book so I’m going to slip her in here. I own her newest book Girl Online: On Tour and plan to read it soon.

Authors I’ve Read This Year I Want to Further Explore

For this little bit I will be talking about the authors that are new to me this year that I want to further explore. They aren’t debut authors but they were to me (if that makes sense?)

V.E. Schwab – A Darker Shade of Magic

REVIEW

I read this at the beginning of the year and liked it. It didn’t blow me away but I like V.E. Schwab as a person – from what I’ve seen of her on Twitter – and I would like to try reading some more of her books before giving up on her writing style.

Rainbow Rowell – Fangirl

I read Fangirl last year and didn’t really like it but I have recently brought Carry On her newest novel and it looks really interesting so I want to give her another chance.

Rick Riordan – Percy Jackson

I have read about half of the Percy Jackson series so far and I am really enjoying his writing style. It will be nice if I can actually finish the series and try some of his other book series.

---

I think that’s all I have for you this week, sorry it’s so short but what can you do? Have you read any of these books? What did you think?

Send me a link to your TTT in the comments 🙂

Until next time,

NaNoWriMo and November TBR

It’s November and you know what that means. It’s time again for National Novel Writing Month. This of course means that my reading expectations are low and this TBR is going to be very small. I want to dedicate a lot of time to writing this month so I won’t have much time to read.

If you’re participating send me your profile link on here and we can be buddies 🙂 For anyone interested here is the link to my page: Tori_Barnett

Well now shall we get to talking about books? Again as I said this is going to be a short list and mostly comprising of books related to writing.

WonderBook: The Illustrated Guide to Creating Imaginative Fiction by Jeff Vandermeer

I’ve actually already started this, I brought this some time last year and to be perfectly honest I haven’t read much of it. What I have read is really good though so I hope to read some more, I’m not planning on finishing this book but I at least want to read some more of it.

Currently on PAGE 59 of 332

Writing Fiction by Linda Anderson and Derek Neale

This was is a book I was meant to read for my Creative Writing class in university last year but never got around to. Again I have started this but not finished it. This is a short book but it is very text heavy and I don’t want to overload myself so I again don’t know if I’ll actually read this all the way through.

Currently on PAGE 28 of 216

Binge by Tyler Oakley

I’m currently reading this so I want to finish it this month. I can’t overload myself with writing this month so I do want to read some more light-hearted books as well as writing books.

Currently on PAGE 157 of 304

Rurouni Kenshin 3-in-1 Volume 5 by Nobuhiro Watsuki

Again I’m currently reading this and I want to actually finish it this month. This is a manga and a re-read so it shouldn’t take long but it will be a nice relaxing reprieve from all the writing.

Currently on PAGE 256 of 568

---

There you have it. All of the books I might read this month. I’m not really planning on having a good reading month this month so some of my posts might be a little repetitive or I might just not post them if they’re the same as the week before. I might do a post about my NaNoWriMo progress instead.

I hope to see you on the NaNoWriMo website or on Twitter.

Good Luck!

October 2015 Wrap-Up

I started work recently so this month has been a task of getting used to revolving my life around work and getting to work. As a result I didn’t really read much this month but all the same I think I did quite well. I read a total of five books this month and I am in the process of reading another one right now.

Anime

Well as far as anime goes this month I didn’t really watch much. Not because I don’t want to but because the one that I’m interested in is still being releaced once a week so I can’t really get around that but here is a list of the anime I have watched so far this month.

Haikyu!! Second Season – On Going, Currently on episode 4

October Book Haul

Well there you have it. All you need to know about my bookish deeds this month. I posted my book haul a few days ago so if you’re interested in that go on over and check it out using the link above, my November TBR should be coming up soon so keep an eye out for that too 🙂

How has your month been? Read any really good books? Let me know in the comments below.

Until next time,

Happy Halloween!

October Book Haul

It was such a good month for book releases and I was too weak to resist them. I’m a little ashamed of how many books I brought this month but I have been reading them. Plus I won’t have much time next month for reading as I am participating in NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month). Well enough small talk lets get to the good bit shall we?

Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone: Illustrated Edition by J.K. Rowling and Jim Kay

This is such a beautiful book and being the huge Potter nerd that I am I had to get this book as soon as I could. I actually pre-ordered this book. I think it was fitting that the first book I have ever pre-ordered was a Harry Potter book.

Twilight Re-imagined: Life and Death by Stephenie Meyer

I was in a state of disbelief when this was announced and I immediately went to my local book store looking for it but alas they didn’t have it. I went back the next day and low and behold they had it! I have read this and I actually really enjoyed it.

A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E. Schwab

I read this back when I first started this blog. You can find my review for it here. I only had a kindle copy however and as I prefer reading physical books I decided to pick this one up. I’ve been meaning to get it but every time I picked it up I convinced myself not to get it but this time I just said f**k it and brought it 😉

The Amazing Book is Not On Fire by Dan Howell and Phil Lester

As two of my favourite youtubers I needed this book in my life. I have read it and I really liked it. It is the perfect book to pick up if you ever want a chuckle, if you’ve ever watched one of their videos then this book is basically one big youtube video.

Girl Online by Zoe Sugg

Another book I’ve been meaning to read for a long time. As the second book in the series came out this month I decided it was finally time to get this. I had to hunt for a hardback of this book though. I wanted it in hardback so it would match the new book that came out. It’s just typical that it is all over the place for months but then when you want it you can only find the paperback.

You can find my review of this book here.

Girl Online: On Tour by Zoe Sugg

I quite liked the first book in the series and I am interested in seeing if Zoe’s writing has improved any in the last year. I will be interesting to see her develop as a writer. I’m also interested in where she is taking the characters in this book.

Binge by Tyler Oakley

Another book I pre-ordered this month. I actually managed to get a signed copy too! Tyler was the youtuber who got me in to watching youtube regularly so I felt it was almost necessary that I buy his book. I am currently reading this and again it is like watching a youtube video. If you like Tyler then I can already recommend that you pick this up.

Carry On by Rainbow Rowell

I didn’t really like Fangirl but I’ve heard rave reviews about this book and it got me unbearably curious. I picked this up and it will be read soon… hopefully.

Food Wars! Shokugeki No Soma Volume 1 by Yuto Tsukudo

I watched the anime for this recently and loved it so I went out and picked up the first volume of the manga. I have already read this and loved it, although it does make me hungry…

---

As you can see I had a little bit of a binge on youtuber books this month. I’m a little behind on that bandwagon but no matter.

I went a little mad on books this month but I don’t really regret it, my bookshelves do though, I’m running out of places to put my books!

I hope you liked this post, have you got any of these books? What did you think if you have read them? Thank you for reading and,

Until next time,

Tori x
