Literature and Tea: June 2016

I'm back! and I am going to start reading again since exam season is drawing to a close.

My TBR list will comprise of books I want to read as well as books that will contribute to my YALC TBR list, hence the title of this post.

As you may have seen in my previous posts, I am aiming to read 100 books this year...but it's June and I have read less than 10 this year. My reasoning is that I can no longer stomach novels with a large lack of diversity. Plus I really wanted to do well in exams so I had to cut reading out.

I still have this impossible goal of 100 books, and so I now have to try to read close to 20 books each month. Yikes.

(love NE NE)

But anyway, onto the TBR

1. Novice By Taran Matharu

I met Taran last October at YAShot and instantly thought that he was a very creative (and attractive) author, with the way he spoke about how he got his ideas and the storyline of his book. I am not yet a fan of fantasy, and from what i have heard about this book, I will be after reading it.

2. A Court of Thornes and Roses by Sarah J Maas.

I have attempted to read this book many times, but I was always put off by the lack of diversity, so I will once again attempt this and if I can't get into it this time, then I am afraid that Sarah J Maas isn't the writer for me.

3. Harry Potter and The Philosophers Stone by JK Rowling

I am excited about this read, as it is from one of my favourite series EVER. I really want to reread Harry Potter before the cursed child comes out, so this is my reason but really just re reading Harry Potter for the sake of it is a good enough reason.

4. Winger by Andrew Smith
