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...

Recent YA Releases: Week of March 17th-March 23rd

I shall read some of these books... just as soon as I finish Mime Order (Samantha Shannon), and  Timeless (Gail Carriger), and every other title I said I would finish by last month... #BookwormWoes

Here are seven (!) titles that are going to be released within the next week:

If you are looking to start a brand new series...

Prudence (The Custard Protocol, #1)

I am SO EXCITED for this title. I actually got this one at ALA Midwinter 2015 in Chicago, but I haven't been able to read it because I am currently finishing up it's predecessor series The Parasol Protectorate (which is about Prudence's mother, Alexia Tabarotti). I absolutely love Alexia, and in the last book of her series, which I am currently reading, we get to meet Prudence as a young child. So far she seems to be a handful which is just about right considering who her mother is (not to mention her werewolf father).

In honor of Prudence's release I am going to be posted a special Dream Cast post, dream casting every character of importance in the Parasol Protectorate series as well as Prudence as a small child. I am extremely excited about this release!! If you haven't read the Parasol Protectorate series, or the Etiquette and Espionage series, you absolutely MUST! The dialogue in the books is reason enough, not to mention Alexia's character, the way Gail Carriger makes her scenery and characters just shine and click. She single-handedly got me into Steampunk genre.

If you are looking for a stand alone title...

The Perilous Journey of the Not-So-Innocuous Girl Everything That Makes You
Never Gonna Tell The Wrong Side of Right Under a Painted Sky

If you happen to be looking for a stand alone title, well, you are certainly in luck cause this week it seems to be all about the stand alones! I am particularly interested in Never Gonna Tell because it sounds very ala Veronica Mars, and I LOVE VM. I am also interested in The Perilous Journey of the Not-So-Innocuous Girl (wow, a mouthful) because I've heard (well, read) good things. If you arelooking to read those two, and have a kindle, you are in luck cause Never Gonna Tell is only $.99 cents (quite possibly because it is self published) and then The Perilous Journey of the Not-So-Innocuous Girl (I'll be honest, I copied and pasted that title) in under $4.00. Quite a steal if you ask me.

If you are looking for sequels...

Pretty Wanted (Pretty Crooked, #3)

I shall be honest and say I have NOT read the first book in this series, but if you do, well, the next one is out tomorrow! This is the third installment in the series, with the first one being Pretty Crooked.

For even MORE releases please visit my Pinterest at: TaschimaCullen. In it I have individual boards dedicated to YA Releases from 2014- onward by month of release. I update it daily :)

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 ...
