In this sequel to the bestselling fantasy thriller, Angelfall, the survivors of the angel apocalypse begin to scrape back together what's left of the modern world.

When a group of people capture Penryn's sister Paige, thinking she's a monster, the situation ends in a massacre. Paige disappears. Humans are terrified. Mom is heartbroken. Penryn drives through the streets of San Francisco looking for Paige. Why are the streets so empty? Where is everybody? Her search leads her into the heart of the angels' secret plans where she catches a glimpse of their motivations, and learns the horrifying extent to which the angels are willing to go.

Meanwhile, Raffe hunts for his wings. Without them, he can't rejoin the angels, can't take his rightful place as one of their leaders. When faced with recapturing his wings or helping Penryn survive, which will he choose?

If you read last week's post, then you know that the first book in this series, Angelfall, was on my TBR. Well, I read it and now I am OBSESSED. I ordered the second and third books right away and haven't really been able to read much of anything else because Penryn and Raffe are all I can think about! (Raffe is definitely Fictional Boyfriend material, guys. Omg.) I am currently about halfway through World After, and hope to finish it within the next few days.

Author: C.E. Wilson

White Frost has only ever known the darkness. Everything outside of her closed society is The Unknown – a strange and dangerous place accessible to only a chosen few. White’s only glimpse of the world beyond comes from her beloved cousin in the form of mysterious collections of words that hint at astonishing wonders. When an accident upends her simple existence, she’s given an unlikely chance to see the truth for herself. What she finds is greater and more terrible than she could have imagined, and before long she is forced to make the most important choice of her life: does she accept her safe, limited world that she’s known or take a desperate gamble in a world not meant for her with the Boy with Words?

This book was on last weekend's TBR as well, though the goal was only to start it - which I did! I didn't get very far, but I do hope to continue with it this weekend.

What books are you planning on reading this weekend?

Weekend TBR [July 8-10]

I find that working full-time makes my weeks pass in a blur of early mornings, long days, chlorine checks, snow cones, and telling children not to put water on the slide. Also, homework. Always. So, when the weekend finally does arrive, I am always fairly surprised and a little bit disappointed in the fact that we are one step closer to autumn.

This weekend, I will be reading:

1. Angelfall by Susan Ee: I'm currently about halfway through this book and am in. love. Thanks to my experiences with the Hush, Hush quartet, I was more than a little hesitant to pick up another series abut angels, but after hearing some good things and the fact that it has been on my TBR for a few years, I decided to give it a try and am really, really liking it so far. I hope to continue reading it this weekend!

2. The Boy with Words by C.E Wilson: This ebook was sent to me for review a few weeks ago, and since I cannot take my Kindle to work with me, I predict the next few weekends will be spent attempting to finish it and get a review up. It does not seem to be very long, and is one that I am very interested in reading, so I hope to pick it up within the next few days!

What are your weekend reading plans?

Weekend TBR [July 1-3]

The weekend is here! Here is my TBR for the next few days:

1. Flipping The Scales by Pete Tarsi: My progress last weekend was pretty much the exact opposite of what I had wanted to accomplish. Instead of completing Flipping the Scales, I finished The One by Kiera Cass. So, once again, I would like to make it a goal to get at least a little further in it book this weekend. I cannot really bring paperbacks to work with me—I carry around a bag full of first-aid supplies, sunscreen, pens, and various other poke-y, book-damaging things, so hardbacks are really the only books that stand a chance—so this has been one I am only able to pick up on the weekends, hence my slow progress.

2. The Hidden Oracle by Rick Riordan: I bought this book last week and my complete love for Rick Riordan's writing/characters has pushed it to the very top of my TBR. I am currently 200 pages into it and really enjoying it so far; I hope to pick it up in between chapters of Flipping the Scales!

Weekend TBR [June 24-26]

I finally finished The Young Elites! I did have a few problems with it but, overall, it was very enjoyable and I am glad to finally have it off of my TBR.

Because I started working full-time, I haven't had much time to pick up any books these last two weeks because I have been scrambling around, trying to do homework, Youtube/blog stuff, taking care of my rabbits, and keeping up with cleaning. However, I was lucky enough to get a three day weekend this week, and while most of it will be spent at a wedding/doing homework/cleaning, I am hoping to get some reading done as well! Since I was sent this book for review, my main priority is to hopefully finish Flipping the Scales by Pete Tarsi. I am currently about 73 pages into it and it seems like a quick read, so I would definitely like to get that done.

Over the weekend, I would also like to continue working on The One as well. I didn't particularly like the first two books in the series, but this one has been on my TBR forever, and I would like to get through it so I can be done with it; particularly because I do not plan on reading the companions/continuations. I doubt I will be able to finish it this weekend, but it would be nice to get a little further.
