Tell Me Tuesdays #7!!


Tell Me Tuesdays is a meme/feature created by the awesome ladies of Please Feed The Bookworm and La La In The Library where we can share how we choose the book we are currently reading from our TBR pile!

I'm always curious about that, cause as much as I tend to make myself a rough schedule for books to read and the like, I'm quite a mood reader and sometimes I just HAVE to ignore my schedule and read something else!


 Between by Megan Whitmer

"When a supernatural freak of nature forces her family to separate, seventeen-year-old Charlie Page must turn to her frustrating (yet gorgeous) neighbor, Seth, to help reunite them. Seth whisks Charlie to Ellauria--a magical world filled with the creatures of myths and legends--and tells her of the Fellowship, the group charged with protecting mystical beings from human discovery. (All except Bigfoot: that attention whore is a total lost cause.) But when Charlie learns that she's under the Fellowship's protection herself, well, ""stressed"" is an understatement. Ellauria should be the safest place for Charlie while the Fellowship works to find her family, but things in the mystical realm aren't what they seem. Magic is failing, creatures are dying, and the Fellowship insists Charlie holds the key to saving everyone. With her family still missing and the danger in Ellauria growing, Charlie doesn't know who she can trust. She's dealing with a power she never asked for, falling for a guy she can't have, and being forced to choose between her destiny and her heart. And if she chooses wrong, she could destroy magic forever. Charlie may be in over her head."


I had preordered this one cause it sounded like a great paranormal/fantasy mix and also requested it on NetGalley and I got approved for it after release day, so now I'm reading my finished copy but it will also count for ARC August and improve my ratio on NG!

So what are you all guys reading and how and why did you decide to pick up that book? Shiny new ARC? Comfort read? Scheduled for review? Must have new release? Tell me!!

  3. Two in a row MEH for ARC August; Zac and Mia and now Nest. However, I get a reward after finishing Nest (my 4th ARC August book) because a blogger sent me her ARC of Dash!! I have been waiting to read this since I read the blurb on Netgalley a couple of months ago. My request for it on NetG is still sitting there like a lump.

    Speaking of NetGalley ratios... I'm at 79.8%. UGH UGH UGH. I can't ever seem to stay above 80%, whenever I reach 80%. I keep requesting books LOL
