Books I want to read in 2015.


Here are just a few of the books that I want to read this year. Last year I felt that I really concentrated on reading my stand alone books and didn't want to spend time reading a whole series. I also usually like to read the trilogy or series at once so I end up waiting until all or most of the books have been published. 

1. The Jewel by Amy Ewing: This is a book I learnt about from Elle Fowler/AllThatGlitters21 on Youtube. It is about a girl called Violet who is purchased by the royal family at a surrogacy auction as it is well know than the royal family cannot give birth therefor they need someone to carry their heir. I don't really know much about this book except that it also features a forbidden romance. This is part of "The Lone City" trilogy in which the second book looks to come out later this year, therefore I'll probably read it around autumn/winter time. 

2. Kingdom Keepers - Disney At Dawn by Ridley Pearson: This is the second book in the Kingdom Keepers series of which I read the first in 2013. It's a children's book based around a group of kids who can enter the park at night and face the villains of Disney as the parks come alive. These books are a really easy and nice read for anyone who likes Disney not matter what their age. This second book is based in Animal Kingdom and there are 7 book currently in the series each focusing on a different place within Disney property.

3-6. The Divergent Series by Veronica Roth: I have already read Divergent 3 times and Insurgent once however since then I've been able to get my hands on the US versions of Allegiant and Four( because they are way better than the English versions). When Insurgent comes out at the cinemas in March I will want to reread the book and then I feel it is the perfect time to finish reading the series. I have heard very mixed reviews about Allegiant so let me know if you liked it or not in the comments... no spoilers please! If you look back at my 2014 books I wanted to read post I also put Allegiant as I was yet to buy it.

7. The legend Trilogy by Marie Lu: Pictured is Champion the third in the trilogy that's because it's a signed copy I found ay Books A Million. Therefore I firstly need to buy legend and Prodigy. Once again I'm not sure of the plot line except that it's a dystopian world set in the US that is at war with a newly formed Republic within the Western area. Once again Legend was one of the books I wanted to but didn't get around to reading in 2014. 

8. Rebels: City of Indra by Kendall & Kylie Jenner: Finally I purchased this book back in the summer and have already picked it up once to read and for some reason put it back down after a couple of pages. From what I can gather on Goodreads its a Dystopian world that has two parts, a wealthy culture in the sky that overlooks the poor slums below. It's about two girls that each live in one part of Indra and I think that they may cross paths at some point. 

To see me explain these books in more detail head over to my newly revived Youtube channel where I did a corresponding video on the books I want to read. 
To see how I do this year with reading these books then stay followed to my blog and also visit my good reads page here.

Until next time, Sophie

Books I want to read in 2014

My target for 2014 is to read a minimum of 40 books, below is a list of some books I really want to get to reading this year!

1. Allegiant by Veronica Roth 
Believe it or not I still haven't got my hands on this book, now this for a few reasons:
  • I'm waiting to order the US cover so it matches my other books as I really dislike the British editions!
  • Im trying to finish up some of my other unfinished series
  • Finally it means i'm going to have to re-read Divergent and Insurgent, I have quite a bad memory so I tend to forget book plots easily



2. Jump Ship by Josh Shipp
This is Josh Shipp's second book that was released mid December, i've read his first book called "The teens guide to world domination" it is an amazingly inspirational book that I would recommend to any teenager who's questioning people in their life or what to do with their lives. In this second book Shipp advises on how to turn your passion into a profession. 
For anyone in the UK you can get shipps books off Amazon or The Book Depository. 


3. 10 things I hate about you by David Levithan
10 things I hate about you is one of my absolute favourite films partly because the cast includes Heath Ledger! I really want to read the book that inspired the film however this book is extremely hard to buy and I will have to do some major searching to find it.


4. The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey
In 2013 I heard nothing but good things about this book by various booktubers and knew it was something I was interested in reading. It is part of a trilogy which is why I've hesitated to start it as previously stated I want to tie up some unfinished series.


5. Requiem by lauren Oliver 
Earlier this year I read Delirium which is the first book in this trilogy, it is about a dystopian world who are trying to cure "love". I remember really liking it and proceded to buy Pandemonium ... however I still haven't read it! My thoughts are to buy this book and just read through them all then I can just pick up the next book and not have to wait.



6. Legend by Marie Lu
This book had been on my " To be read" book for nearly a year! I first saw it on Elle Fowlers Vlog channel in one of her glitteratures. It is a trilogy but I definitely want to set time aside for it!


These are just a few of my top books that I want to read this year, if your have any recommendations then leave them below and also let me know what books you want to read this year.
