The Evolution of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin
Just One Day by Gayle Forman
So in total I read 15 books! I didn’t read as many as last month, mainly because I read loads last month and also because I didn’t read as many at the start of the month. I’m really pleased with the number though because the goal that I set myself was ten. Out of those, three of them were UKYA so I didn’t have a very good month in that sense. Oops!
My favourite books this month were:
1. Blood Red Road by Moira Young
2. Paper Towns by John Green
3. The Elite by Kiera Cass
In other news, this month I became moderator of a Goodreads group called Teen Bloggers. If you’re a teen blogger then come and join the conversation because you’re sure to have a great time.
I’m well on my way to reaching my end of year goal of 100 books and I’ve currently read 59 so I’m over half way. I really can’t believe I’ve read this many!
In May (I can’t believe how fast the year is going!) I’m hoping to read at least ten books. This is quite low because I’m being loaded with homework at the moment and, although I try to read as much as possible it is quite hard to find the time.
In May I’m planning to read:
Before I Die by Jenny Downham (also called Now Is Good)
Rebel Heart by Moira Young
The Kissing Booth by Beth Reekles
The Book Thief by Markus Zuzak
I’m not going to set myself any other goals this month because I don’t feel like I need to. I’m so happy with how everything is going at the moment and I don’t want to ruin it by putting too much pressure on myself.
I hope you all have a brilliant May!

I’m new to blogging and I’d really appreciate it if you had a look at my blog – I’ve just posted a review of The Silver Linings Playbook 🙂

1 May, 2013 at 11:13 amBlood Red Road was decent to me… But I admit that it was full of tension… I’m planning to read Paper Towns in this week or next week maybe. I hope I’ll enjoy it 😉 Good luck completing your goal, Lucy!! 😀 Have a nice month!

1 May, 2013 at 7:56 pmYou’ve read some AMAZING books! 🙂 I just finished writing my review for The Drowning, it was quite good! And Paper Towns is (maybe) my favourite John Green book. 🙂 I can’t wait to see what you think of The Book Thief – it’s one of my favourites! Oh, and I’m planning on getting Just One Day out of the library… It sounds brilliant. Great post! 😛

2 May, 2013 at 7:12 pmYou have read some fantastic books! I’m so excited to read You Don’t Know Me by Sophia Bennett and get me hands on Blood Red Road. I’ve been admiring it for months. The Elite is still on my wish-lists! I just need to read it!
So glad you had a good month Lucy!
