The Catalyst by Helena Coggan

This is another ARC I picked up on NetGalley. I wasn’t really sure what it was about but the synopsis made it seem like an interesting sci-fi/fantasy. Now that I’ve read the first chapter it seems to be an angel invasion body-snatcher story. Sounds interesting to me! I also wanted to note that Helena Coggan puts us all to shame because she is 15. Yes, you read that right. She wrote the first draft of this book when she was 13 and is now a published author at 15. That’s amazing!

More Than This by Patrick Ness

I’ve been wanting to read Patrick Ness and this happened to be the first ebook I received at the library. I’m amazed at how easy it is to use Overdrive. The library notified me it was available and I just downloaded it to my kindle. So. Easy. Anyway, I can already tell I enjoy Ness’s writing. This book starts with a boy who violently drowns in the ocean, only to wake up in a strange, empty place. I’m excited to see where this story goes.

Recently Finished:

When Breath Becomes Air by Paul Kalanithi

I finished this book last week and it was a thoughtful, poignant read. Its beautifully written and while different from my normal reads I thoroughly enjoyed it.

P.S. I Like You by Kasie West

I’ve already posted my review for this book here, but I loved this book! I read it in one day because I just couldn’t put it down. It was a perfect, adorable romance and I would highly recommend this book.

Weregirl by C.D. Bell

I received an ARC of Weregirl via NetGalley. I enjoyed this story! Nessa is a cross country runner and I was a huge fan of that having also been a cross country runner in high school. While it had a lot of elements from a classic werewolf story, Bell incorporates other elements and story lines into this book which makes it an interesting read.

Prodigy (Legend #2) by Marie Lu

This book was excellent and I think I enjoyed it even more than the first. It focuses heavily on June and Day’s character development, and I love how Lu explored their complicated relationship. My review on this book will be up tomorrow.

Champion (Legend #3) by Marie Lu

I just finished Champion last night, and wow! I haven’t started writing a review yet because I feel like I need a few days to digest that ending. Overall, this was a great series and I am looking forward to diving into Lu’s other series, The Young Elites.

What I’ll read next:

All The Ugly and Wonderful Things by Bryn Greenwood

This book finally arrived to my apartment the other day! I bought a 3-month Book of the Month subscription so it came with this book, a wine glass cozy, a cute tote bag and a bookmark. I’m excited to see what all the hype is surrounding this book.

A Torch Against the Night by Sabaa Tahir

I wasn’t going to pre-order this book because I’ve been spending way too much money on books lately but I couldn’t help it. Its arriving tonight! September will definitely be a good month for anticipated releases.
