As someone who has already fallen behind on their reading goal, let’s just say the book slump is absolutely foul for me right now. When I eventually get over it, here are some books I am so excited to read that have been absolutely screaming at me from my bookshelf!

Onyx Storm (Rebecca Yaros)

Okay so to be honest, I am only half way through Fourth Wing but I am absolutely eating it up!! It is the first book I will be picking back up as soon as I can, and then best believe I will do everything in my power to read the other books ASAP!!!

Powerless (Lauren Roberts)

Oh my gosh I have heard such good things about this book as well as the series, which also has another book coming out in a few months, and boy am I excited! To be honest, I did in fact get this book literally a year ago, but I have not been able to bring myself to read it because my expectations are so high. I know I shouldn’t do that to myself but I literally cannot help it!!

The deal (elle kennedy)

I actually started this book a few months ago, but I forgot about it so that’s my fault. In reality I’m only on about page 25, but I have been wanting to read this series for such a long time I’m just so nervous because I can’t tell if I’ll like it or not!

keeping 13 (chloe walsh)

This list is making me look like an awful reader, but once again this is a book I started but have yet to finish. I read Binding 13 so fast, and enjoyed it, but I just cannot get myself to pick up the other 3 books from the series that I have on my shelf!! Maybe I’m just too aware of the emotional damage it will continue to cause me as I read the most insane back-stories & childhood trauma that I have ever read.

*If you are going to read the Boys of Tommen series, please look up the trigger warnings before hand.*

Just for the summer & the seven year slip (abby jimenez)

While these are two separate books by the same author, I have heard numerous good things about them both! They are both said to be extremely well written so I am really excited to read them. To be honest I don’t know much about these books, but I want to go in with an open mind so I don’t set my expectations too high!
