What Rue Read in November and December Expectations

Well, another month of 2014 has passed. It's time for what I was able to get finished this month of November and what I would like to finish in December. I hope everyone had an amazing Thanksgiving Holiday. For once this year I was able to not overstuff myself so I was miserable.

I was able to finish more books than I thought I would, but two of the three books I finished this month, I had started back in October and maybe even into September. Two of the Three books as well were on audio book.

Here is what I finished this month:
1. Revealed by PC and Kristin Cast: 3 out of 5 stars*.
This is the eleventh book of the series. The twelfth and final book of the series came out in October, which I plan on getting my hands on soon into the new year. I also managed to lose this book not only once but twice. I started this book back October, and lost it for two weeks, found it, then lost it again. I just finished it this week due to being on Thanksgiving Break.
2. The Fault in Our Stars by John Greene: 3 out of 5 stars.
This book didn't keep my attention well. I think that it could be because I had such a high expectation on this book. It was an okay book.
3. FanGirl by Rainbow Rowell: 5 out of 5 stars
This has made it on to my favorite books list. I absolutely LOVED this book. I really wish this was a series. I would love it to follow Cath all through college.

Expectations for  December:
I am currently working on two books. I am on Disk 8 of 10 on "Orange is the New Black" By Piper Kierman, and this week I also started "City of Heavenly Fire" By Cassandra Clare. This was probably a mistake considering next week is finals, and I am having a hard time putting this book down. I am currently on page 152 of 725. At first the size of the book terrified the crap out of me, but so far it's been pretty good. I can see this one being a fairly quick finish, but due to finals, tonight will probably be the last night I really get to read on it until after finals are complete. This also completes my last book goal for the year of 2014. I would like to finish two other books for December, but I don't know whether that will happen. I would also like to read "The One" by Kiera Cass, and the two novella from the Shatter Me trilogy "Unite Me"

Peaceful and Happy Thoughts,

What Rue Read in October and November Expectations

This month I was only able to finish, Four: A collection of Divergent Stories By Veronica Roth , which I gave 5 out of 5 stars. I really liked it. I listened to it on Audio book.

I have started a new job, so along with school work I don't get much time to read right now. November is going to be a busy month. I have a few exams, a huge research paper and a book review due. I am hoping to finish Revealed by PC and Kristin Cast. I am over half way through it, but I have lost it. I can't find it any where. I cleaned my room thinking it was there, but it's not. I want to finish it, so I can start on the last one of the series which just came out. I am currently listening to FanGirl by Rainbow Rowell, which by the way, I am loving it. I can't believe I have waited this long to read\listen to. I also picked up Landline by Rowell as well, so this will probably be the next audio book I listen to. I doubt that I will pick up a book to read if I can't find Revealed because this will be a studies focused month. If I do pick up another book I may try and read a historical fiction novel, maybe a Philippa Gregory novel. Right now, in my classes we are studying about English history. Also I have been really into the television show, Reign.

Peaceful and Happy Thoughts,
--Rue.
