To-be Read (reviewed) List

I'm currently reading this novel, and am loving it so far. I might have the review up by next week.
















I've recently, like a few days ago recieved this novel. I am hoping to have one of those sit down and read for the whole day next weekend, and get this book reviewed next week as well.















I bought this book for school because I don't have an ereader I can bring to school, but that will be changing soon in the next two-three weeks. I have read Revolution by Jennifer Donnelly and have reviewed the novel and you can check it out when you click on the Book Reviewed section of the blog.













I'm involved in a book tour for this novel and have a specific date that I'm supposed to post my review on. So far, not very far really, I love the writing and expansive world the author has created.

Playlist: Revolution by Jennifer Donnelly

This novel was kind of tough to find songs for, but I really think that this novel needed its own playlist. It deserves it, personally I love all these songs and if you have any suggestion for another novel to do a playlist for please leave a comment below.

Here is the link where you can listen to all the songs. I could not find Show you How by The Killers for the playlist so you can just google that song if you are really interested.


Show You How by The Killer
"we were better alone"

Are We There Yet by Ingrid Michaelson
"I guess I haven't found my home"

Innocent by Taylor Swift
"Lost your balance on a tight rope"

Fading Lately by Katie Costello
For the club scene

Revolution by Jennifer Donnelly Review

I've been trying to post books that I read in the past, that are still very popular(also not so popular), but I just wanted to get all the books that I've read in the past half year out of the way, before I got into really big present books.

 Summary
Andy Alpers is on the edge. She's angry at her father for leaving, angry at her mother for not being able to cope, and angry at the world for taking her younger brother, Truman. Rage and grief are destroying her. And her father has determined that Andi's accompanying him to Paris over winter break is the solution to everything.
But Paris a city of ghosts for Andi. And when she finds a centuries-old diary, the ghosts begin to walk off the page. Alexandrine, the owner of the journal, knew heartbreak also, and Andi finds comfort in the girl's words. Until, on a midnight journey through the catacombs of Paris, words transcend paper and time, and the past becomes suddenly, terrifyingly present.
