Weekly Reads!-A new thing?

Since I'm on summer break right now and I have lots of free time on my hands...what a better time to start reading and being productive, right?
I don't actually know if this is a thing out there on booktube or on other book blogs or whatever but I have decided to do this "challenge" of sorts to see if I can get some reading done this summer! I call it "Weekly Reads" and at the beginning of each new week, I make a post about the books that I plan to read (and complete) that week. Now I'm relatively sure someone else has done it because it doesn't seem too original but I'm just saying that so I don't get pointed at for saying that I came up with it first. xD Weekly Reads kind of sounds like a "Summer Reading Plans (if you've been on booktube)", except weekly.

So now, without further ado, I present to you, the books I plan on reading for this week; starting today, June 24 through next Tuesday, July 1st!

The Fault in Our Stars (shortened "TFIOS") by John Green

 I know, I know, you can't possibly believe that I haven't read this book, can you? Well, there's a reason that I haven't gotten to this book yet. One, I've been putting this book off for other books, and I'm sad to admit that. Two, I've mentioned in one of my previous posts before that I was in a very long book slump where I didn't read books at all (except my required reading) so I didn't really get in on the hype of the rising popularity of this book. Of course, I had heard of it a loong while ago but I never imagined that I would read it. But now, here I am with a purchased, paperback copy of The Fault in Our Stars and I think I'm going to enjoy this book, and as well, cry ugly tears like I've heard everybody has.

Legend by Marie Lu

The Legend trilogy has gotten as much hype as The Hunger Games trilogy or the Divergent trilogy and again, a lot of people might be surprised as to why I haven't read this trilogy yet but no fear, I have the boxset in my hands now and I'm planning to marathon it. One of the things that I find unique about this trilogy is that it's written by an Asian author and it's gotten pretty famous. There's Jenny Han and Julie Kagawa of course but I don't know, I was pretty surprised (there needs to be more diversity in YA literature! Of course there IS diversity, but just not the right authors be recognized.)

Apparently it's supposed to have a similar feel to the mentioned trilogies above, and discusses the government and politics (maybe?) and I think there's a rebellion of some sorts similar to The Hunger Games. Excited to read this!




 Cinder (The Lunar Chronicles) by Marissa Meyer

If you've seen my first BookOutlet Haul, you would recognize this book here. I've decided to read this this week because I'm a little wary about this trilogy (and I want to know if I'll like it ASAP...so if I don't, I can sell it.) It has an interesting premise for sure but I feel like it's the execution that will make me not want to buy the rest of the trilogy. Like, I will probably like it enough to read the whole trilogy but just not buy it. You feel me? Like, not Ready Player One level. But then again, there isn't a book that is on Ready Player One's level in terms of fun and entertainment. I hope I'm wrong though. But my wallet does need a rest so I don't know if I'll be buying the second and third books in this trilogy.








Well that was it! If I do really good with reading this week, I'll probably get to reading my summer assignment books (which I should read first anyway but you know me; YA addict.)

Today is a good day to have a good day.~ <3
