May Round-Up and Book of the Month


May's Book of the Month is The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey

 

Despite having a pretty crappy month personally my month in reading was actually pretty good! The 5th Wave is a book that definitely stood out to me and is so deserving of May's book of the month title. It is high on the list of my favourite books of 2013! It was action packed, had brave and brilliant characters, gorgeous writing and so many twists and turns! There is so much hype surrounding this book and I found it completely justified, this book is set to be HUGE. If you'd like to find out more about it or read more of my thoughts please check out my review here.


***Technically the UFO *DOESN'T* land in this book, but I love this movie and this gif so couldn't resist using it!***

    Aha, I had a couple of 4.5's too as you saw, I always feel so bad about that last .5! I really want to read Thousand Words, it sounds really good. I loved Shadow and Bone this month so ofc am really looking forward to Siege and Storm

      Yes! I always find that with 4.5's there is just something missing. I can't wait to hear your thoughts on Siege and Storm!

    I seriously need to read The 5th Wave! I have heard nothing but good things about it but I still don't have a copy. And loving the sound of Splintered too! I agree that Splintered has a great cover!

      You really do Liz! So good! Splintered is very kooky but very good, here writing reminds me of Melissa Marr's!
