April was a pretty awesome reading month for me and I must say that you guys really helped me with that.  Getting suggestions from readers really helped me out.  I normally stress and worry about what to read and having a list to go by made things so much easier.  Because of that I decided to try it again this month but I’ll get to that in a little bit!

Here are the books I managed to read in April, including some adult books:

Just the Sexiest Man Alive by Julie James
Dare You To (Pushing the Limits #2) by Katie McGarry (favorite!)
Clockwork Princess (Infernal Devices #3) by Cassandra Clare
Any Man of Mine by Rachel Gibson
The Sea of Tranquility by Katja Millay (favorite!)
Gameboard of the Gods (Age of X #1) by Richelle Mead
Lover at Last (Black Dagger Brotherhood #11) by J.R. Ward
Walking Disaster (Beautiful #2) by Jamie McGuire (DNF)
My Life After Now by Jessica Verdi
The Program (The Program #1) by Suzanne Young
The Madman’s Daugher by Megan Shepherd
Unbreakable (Unraveling #2) by Elizabeth Norris
The House of Secrets (House of Secrets #1) by Chris Columbus & Ned Vizzini
Money Run by Jack Heath

I can’t believe I’ve already completed one challenge.  My goal for May is to complete another one.  I’m thinking the End of Series challenge is going to be the easiest one to tackle.

Now here’s the fun part again!  I would love some help deciding what to read for May. It has to be young adult, traditionally published, and out within the past 5 years but other than that, I’ll check out pretty much anything. You can even suggest books that aren’t published yet since I do have a pretty extensive ARC collection. If I do have a copy of the book or can easily obtain a copy, I’ll read it. Bonus if the book happens to fit into one of my reading challenges for the year!

And once again, everyone who suggests something (even if I don’t read it) will be entered to win a book from my box of giveaways!  Just leave a comment with your suggestion and you’re entered to win.  And don’t forget that I need some way to contact you!

So, what do you suggest I read this month?

April Wrap-Up + May TBR Suggestions + Giveaway!

May 1, 2013 • books read, giveaway, TBR • 62 Comments

April was a pretty awesome reading month for me and I must say that you guys really helped me with that.  Getting suggestions from readers really helped me out.  I normally stress and worry about what to read and having a list to go by made things so much easier.  Because of that I decided to try it again this month but I’ll get to that in a little bit!

Here are the books I managed to read in April, including some adult books:

Just the Sexiest Man Alive by Julie James
Dare You To (Pushing the Limits #2) by Katie McGarry (favorite!)
Clockwork Princess (Infernal Devices #3) by Cassandra Clare
Any Man of Mine by Rachel Gibson
The Sea of Tranquility by Katja Millay (favorite!)
Gameboard of the Gods (Age of X #1) by Richelle Mead
Lover at Last (Black Dagger Brotherhood #11) by J.R. Ward
Walking Disaster (Beautiful #2) by Jamie McGuire (DNF)
My Life After Now by Jessica Verdi
The Program (The Program #1) by Suzanne Young
The Madman’s Daugher by Megan Shepherd
Unbreakable (Unraveling #2) by Elizabeth Norris
The House of Secrets (House of Secrets #1) by Chris Columbus & Ned Vizzini
Money Run by Jack Heath

I didn’t quite reach my goal of 25 books but I’m happy with the number I did manage to read.

Here is my challenge progress for the year so far:

Let Me Count The Ways Challenge – 10,001+ pages

I can’t believe I’ve already completed one challenge.  My goal for May is to complete another one.  I’m thinking the End of Series challenge is going to be the easiest one to tackle.

Now here’s the fun part again!  I would love some help deciding what to read for May. It has to be young adult, traditionally published, and out within the past 5 years but other than that, I’ll check out pretty much anything. You can even suggest books that aren’t published yet since I do have a pretty extensive ARC collection. If I do have a copy of the book or can easily obtain a copy, I’ll read it. Bonus if the book happens to fit into one of my reading challenges for the year!

And once again, everyone who suggests something (even if I don’t read it) will be entered to win a book from my box of giveaways!  Just leave a comment with your suggestion and you’re entered to win.  And don’t forget that I need some way to contact you!

So, what do you suggest I read this month?
