Top 10 Tuesday: Top Ten Books I've Recently Added To My TBR



Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and The Bookish.



Before going to England, I didn't have a huge TBR. No, I didn't have a TBR at all, because since books are expensive where I live, and when I get a book online I have to wait at least three weeks, I didn't have a lot of books.
But then, I went to England, and I came home with A WHOLE SUITCASE FULL OF BOOKS. You probably guessed it, I still didn't read all the books I got in England. I have 26 books left to read, without counting books I don't even plan to read. So it was really difficult to narrow it to 10 books.
Here are my top ten books I've recently added to my TBR:

Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell


I wasn't a huge fan of Eleanor & Park by the same author, but I have a lot of expectations for this one. I feel like it's going to represent me as a Fangirl.











The Jewel by Amy Ewing


I have really high expectations for this book, even though there's not a lot of hype around it. It's just that the story line intrigues me. It seems different from other books.










This Is What Happy Looks Like by Jennifer E. Smith


 Well, that's a long title.
This story seems so happy. I expect from it to make me smile all along.











To All The Boys I've Loved Before by Jenny Han


Seems like there's a lot of contemporaries. It's just because I kept buying books of this genre, but didn't get to read them, because I'm still not on a contemporary mood. And To All The Boys I've Loved Before is one of these books.









Fairest by Marissa Meyer


I don't plan on reading this book until I get my hands on Winter, but I'm super excited to know Levana's story!











The Elite by Kiera Cass



Yes. I still didn't read The Elite. Shame on me.











City of Glass by Cassandra Clare


City of Bones and City of Ashes were amazing! That's why I'm so excited to dive back into The Mortal Instuments and the Shadowhunters world.
I also read The Infernal Devices, which is a prequel trilogy to The Mortal Instuments, and IT WAS AMAZING. FEELS.









I think that's it. I probably didn't put 10 books in here (I didn't count to be honest), but these are the most important books I've recently added to my TBR.

What are the books that you've recently added to your TBR?

Top 10 Tuesday: Top Five 2015 Releases I Meant To Get To But Didn't


Follow my blog with Bloglovin

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and The Bookish.


To be honest, there are not a lot of 2015 releases that I wanted to get. I mean, I wanted to get them, but I had to catch up first on 2014, 2013, and 2012 releases. That's why this is a Top Five, not a Top Ten.
So without further do, let's get started:

The Heir by Kiera Cass


Not just that I didn't get this book, but The Elite is still on my TBR pile. Don't get me wrong, I loved The Selection so much, I just don't know why I didn't get around to read the rest of this series. It's probably because I got spoiled a lot about it...









An Ember in The Ashes by Sabaa Tahir



This story seems really interesting, all things about The Martial Empire and things like that. I just didn't get to purchase this book. Everyone is raving about A Torch Against The Night, and I'm like: I still didn't read the first one.









The Wrath and The Dawn by Renée Ahdieh


I love A Thousand and One Night, and yet I didn't get to buy this book. Again I don't know why. This book looks amazing, and I never read but good reviews about it. Hope I'll love it too!










A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E. Schwab


Actually, I wanted to get all of the author's books, but this one was the one I wanted the most. And it's set in LONDON. I love LONDON.











P.S. I Still Love You by Jenny Han


Fun story about this book: I actually bought it when I traveled to England. And when I was packing to return home, I didn't find it. I told myself I would purchase it again as soon as possible. It seems like I didn't purchased it again oops.









So here it is, my Top Five 2015 releases that I didn't get yet!

Did you read any of these books? If so, did you like it? What are some 2015 releases that you still didn't get?

Top 10 Tuesday: Top Ten Resolutions I Have For 2016



So, I decided to join the Top 10 Tuesday, which is an original feature/weekly meme hosted by The Broke and The Bookish, and in which a top 10 is posted every week. That seemed so fun, so I decided to join for the New Year!
This week's topic is resolutions for 2016. And believe me, I have quite a lot, so without further do, let's get started:

1. Read more books

This one is really important. I didn't read a lot of books in 2015, so I definitely plan on reading more books and series and new releases in 2016, because, let's be real, more books? I'm in!
Seriously, I really hope I get to explore more books this year, and to become a faster reader.

2. Get better grades

I mean, I have good grades, but there's some subjects in which I'm not that good. I'm talking here about History/Geography. I really need to get much better grades in this subject, which means I have to learn my lessons, which I hate to do. That's why it will be a real challenge this year.

3. Be more organised

I am not organised, at all. I keep homework and blog posts until the last minute, don't follow my TBRs, am late on revising for exams. Some of my school books are not organised, my room is not organised. You probably guessed that I need to fix that.

4. Schedule my blog posts rather than writing in the last minute

Which I'm doing now, which I'm quite happy about it. That means I must keep going. I would like to write all the blog posts on the weekend and schedule them all, that way I wouldn't have to write posts in the middle of the week, and I will be more concentrated in reading and studying.

5. Post more on the blog

I feel like I need to post more posts in this blog. I also want to start new things, like Top 10 Tuesday and Weekly Wrap Ups and Book Hauls, which I started to work on. But I really hope I keep doing these things the whole year without giving up.

6. Start a Goodreads account, and be active on it

Yeah, I don't have a Goodreads account. Don't blame me, I had it once, it's just that I got spoiled about a lot of books there, and I was so angry that I didn't continue with Goodreads. But I plan on getting back there soon-ish. Hope I'll not be spoiled about books...
Also, link to your Goodreads account so I can follow you once I make one!

7. Start new projects

I really want to start new projects, it seems so much fun! I would love to interact with other bloggers, and come to you readers with new things. So, if you are a blogger and you want to do a project, fill out the form below!

8. Discover new blogs

I'm new to the blogging community, so I really hope to discover more blogs, mostly bookish ones, but all kind of blogs are welcome to be discovered :)

9.Draw more

In case you didn't know, I LOVE to draw. I started drawing when I was 3. But in 2015, I didn't draw a lot, that's why I really want to get more drawing done in 2016. I hope I'll have time, though!

10. Improve my blog

I'm always looking for ways to improve my blog, and make it better! So it's very probable that I'll have this resolution every here. I actually made a post about it requesting you to help me about it. The link is here.

So here's my first Top 10 Tuesday! These are my resolutions of the year.

What are your resolutions for 2016?
