May TBR List

So April... not exactly what I would call a good reading month. But this May, I will be picking up lots of new books at the RT Booklovers Convention, and college will be ending and I'll have way more time to get some reading done at the end of the month. This is a list of four things that I plan on reading this month.


  1. A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas - This has been on my TBR list for several months and this book cannot get here fast enough. This is the first book in a new series, and it is not related to Maas' Throne of Glass series. It is a high fantasy about fae and centers around a young woman who has to go live with this dude who really sucks IMO because she killed some other dude (murder has consequences, kids) but then she starts to fall for him and sexy times ensue. This is a New Adult spin on Beauty and the Beast and I need to get my tiny fingers on it ASAP. 
  2. Rebel Belle by Rachel Hawkins - I'm currently listening to the audiobook and I'm loving the book so far. It's got a contemporary tone but with fantasy elements, but not in a magic realism way. It's about a girl who is one of the "southern belle" types and on Homecoming night, a janitor gives her superpowers and now she has to protect this kid she hates from the people that want to kill him. 
  3. The Lost Herondale by Cassandra Clare - This is the second ebook in the Tales From the Shadowhunter Academy series and I really just want to read it because it's a Shadowhunter book, not because it's about a Herondale (seriously, enough with the Herondales already). I don't know too much about what this one is about. There's, of course, the missing Herondale, which makes me think that this will just be about the legend of that Herondale, rather than the actual person. 
  4. Bright Young Things by Anna Godbersen - This is a book set in the 1920's and it centers around two best friends who move to New York City and get caught up with the wrong crowd as one of the girls searches for her father, who is probably a notorious alcohol smuggler. I love the 20's style, The Great Gatsby is my favorite classic, and I find stories about Prohibition to be interesting. Hopefully this book will live up to my expectations. 
That's the very small list of what I'm going to attempt to read this month! Bye now *flies off into the dark land known as Studying For Finals*
