Brooke's Books

Hello Everyone! It's been quite a while since anyone has posted on here. Alisha and I tried to keep it going, but life happened and things got busy. Lately, I started thinking about this blog and how fun it was for everyone! We had all kinds of reviews and contests with people interacting with one another. It was a good community for those who loved to read. This is why I would like to announce that I have started up my own blog, Brooke's Books. It's not nearly as big as Alisha's website and it's just starting up, but I'm putting up a lot of the same kinds of reviews on my blog. So if any of you were missing the content on Alisha's blog, you should look up my blog here . I'll be announcing weekly releases (as I used to), book reviews, and other fun features I'm working on. I'm not sure if it will be the same as Black Nailed Reviews, but I think it will be a fun experience! I have missed writing and have missed all of you readers as well. I hope y...

Top Ten Tuesdays: Books I'm Excited To Read in 2012

I'm glad to finally be able to get back on track and join in on my favorite memes. The Broke and the Bookish have a weekly feature called Top Ten Tuesdays where blogs can sing-up and share their lists about that week's topic! This week, TTT is about our top ten books we're excited about this year...here's mine:

1. City of Lost Souls (Mortal Instruments #5) by Cassandra Clare


I'm very excited about finally reading CoLS. After reading CoFA, I can't wait to see what happens with Jace and Simon. Plus, it'll be nice to see how Cassandra ends the series...



  
2. Immortal Hearts (Vampire Kisses #9) by Ellen Schreiber


I can't even express how giddy I am for this to come out! After nine books, I keep wondering how Ellen will wrap this up and where the characters will go. Raven and Alexander have been one of my favorite fictional characters and wonder how they'll deal with a certain relative! ;D




3. On Midnight Wings (The Maker's Song #5) Adrian Phoenix


As of right now, I'm reading the most newest installment in the series, Etched in Bone, and can't get enough of it. I love the budding romance between Heather and Dante and how vividly Adrian can portray Dante's beauty and anguish.




4. Goddess Interrupted (Goddess Test #2) by Aimee Carter


I'm a huge Greek mythology nerd, so this is a series I would love to read more about. After reading The Goddess Test, I loved the characters and can't wait to see what Kate might do for her "vacation".





5. Magic of the Moonlight (Full Moon #2) by Ellen Schreiber

I'm a huge Schreiber fan, so I wasn't sure if I would like this series because it wasn't VK. However, Celeste and Brandon pulled me in like Ellen Schreiber's characters always do! I want to know what happens with Brandon's 'curse' and if they will really want to break it.






6. Clockwork Princess (Infernal Devices #3) by Cassandra Clare


Along with loving the Mortal Instruments series, I have loved Cassandra's new series, Infernal Devices, and want to see how Tessa's story plays out. Plus, I don't think I'm the only one who wants to see a certain romance bud!





7. Dreamless (Starcrossed #2) by Josephine Angelini



I loved Starcrossed and want to see how Helen and Lucas deal with certain problems as well as see if there might be a love triangle forming for them.





8. Everneath (Everneath #1) by Brodi Ashton


I saw this book last year and once I saw it involved romance and mythology, I click "to-read" on Goodreads. The cover is absolutely beautiful and the book seems like a potentially great series!





9. The Golden Lily (Bloodlines #2) by Richelle Mead


I haven't gotten to read the first installment yet, but I love Richelle Mead's work! Since it's continuing on the VA series and contains characters I love, I'm hoping this is a great series! (Plus, this cover is gorgeous!)





10. Rapture (Fallen #4) by Lauren Kate


This series is cute and tragic all in one and I can't get enough of it. I need to also catch-up on the series itself, so this release will definitely help me get back into the swing of Luce and Daniel again.






What books are you guys looking forward to this year?

Peace and Fangs,
Alisha

Bookish Question: Reading Stats

How Many Books Do You Read? In a year, what is your set challenge? Do you even set a challenge? When you create an account on Goodreads every year it asks you if you want to set a "challenge" for yourself. How many books do you cant to read a year? Last year I challenged myself to read 80 books. I read 76. I think my initial intention was to read 75, but then I got cocky. The year before that I also challenged myself to read 75 books and read 76. 2011's Challenge... I dont even want to talk about it. The truth is every year I didn't have a game plan. I just read for the sake of reading. Because I love it, because I wanted to immerse myself in another person's world. This year is slightly different. I finished College, graduated, and got a part time job (finding a full time job is a pain in the butt). So I have the time. Most importantly, I have a plan.      Every week I try to read 3 books. I started this recently, since I got my part time job. With 26 weeks left ...
