Watcha Reading this Month #1

Watchya Reading was a weekly post which displayed what books I was planning on reading each week. I am now going to change it to a monthly post and put all of the books I plan to read for the month here.

So for the month of April I plan to read a few different books. Some have been sitting on my shelf for awhile. These books are:

Enmity

By E.J. Andrews

Love vs life

Good vs evil

War vs warfare

Which would you choose?

After a solar flare wipes out most of the world’s inhabitants, nothing is left behind but a desolate earth and a desperate population. Existence is no longer a certainty, and with factions now fighting for the power to rule, people are becoming reckless with their lives. The world has become a dangerous place.

Amongst the ensuing chaos, Nate and Hermia- two victims of the new world order- are taken against their will to the Compound. Joined by eight other teenagers all choosen for a specific reason, Nate and Hermia are forced to train as assaians to overthrow the current president and mae way for a new leader of the free world. Here they, learn to plan, to fight, and most importantly… to survive.

Despite the casual cruelty of their new existence, both Nate and Hermia- two very strong but very different people- begin to form. Fragile bonds within the group. But their happiness is short lived… because their training is just the beginning.

A war awaits… regardless of how ready or willing they may be.

The Rise of Nine

By: Pittacus Lore

In the beginning we were a group of nine.

Nine aliens who left our home planet of Lorien when it fell under attack from the deadly Mogodorians.

We scattered on Earth and went into hiding.

We look ordinary teenagers.

We are not.

Until I met John Smith, Number Four, I’d been on the run alone, hiding and fighting to stay alive. Together we are much more powerful. But it could only last so long before we had to separate.

They caught number one in Malaysia.

Number Two in England.

And number three in Kenya.

They caught me in New York- but I escaped.

I am number six. The Mogodorians want to finish what they started.

But they’ll have to fight us first.

Grim

By assorted authors

Step into a world of dark and twisted fairy tales, with stories by Julie Kagawa, Amanda Hocking and more...

In the days when fairy tales were first spun, they weren’t the sweet and cheerful stories we tell today. Back then, fairy tales were terrifying. They were a warning to the listener to stay out of the night, to keep away from the mystical and ignore the mysterious. Prepare to open a treasure box of the unusual and the macabre.

Grim features some of today’s best young adult authors, sharing their own, unique retellings of classic fairy tales from around the world. These talented writers, many of them New York Times bestsellers or award-winners, put their own spin on these magical worlds.

Sweet Thing

By Renee Carlino

“You have to teach your heart and mind how to sing together… then you’ll hear the sound of your soul.”

Mia Kelly thinks she has it all figured out. She’s an Ivy League graduate, a classically trained pianist, and the beloved daughter of a sensible mother and offbeat father. Yet Mia has been stalling since graduation, torn between putting her business degree to use and exploring music, her true love.

When her father unexpectedly dies, she decides to pick up the threads of his life while she figures out her own. Uprooting herself from Ann Arbor to New York City, Mia takes over her father’s café, a treasured neighbourhood institution that plays host to undiscovered musicians and artists. She’s denied herself the thrilling and unpredictable life of a musician, but a chance encounter with Will, a sweet, gorgeous, and charming guitarist, offers her a glimpse of what could be. When Will becomes her friend and then her roommate, she does everything in her power to supress her passions- for him, for music- but her father’s legacy slowly opens her heart to a possibility of something more.

Wild Cards

By Simone Elkeles

Love is the toughest game of all.

Bad boy Derek has been kicked out of boarding school, and he’s heading for more trouble…

Ashtyn is close to losing her boyfriend, just like everyone else she’s ever cared about. Leading her school’s American football team to the championship is all that matters now…

As Derek and Ashtyn are thrown into each other’s lives, the games are wild- on and off the field. Will Ashtyn put her dreams, and her heart, on the line for someone who loves to play by his own rules, or is Derek just too hot to handle?

The Drake brothers have been raised knowing they had to protect their younger sister at all cost. But forbidden magic and a mysterious stranger have out all of them in terrible danger.

Nicholas is going to have to make a difficult choice: between his girlfriend, Lucy, and his little sister, Solange- Blood, or love?
