It's a TBR Thursday

Funny story (also kind of gross), completely unrelated to my books to be read but I feel that I must share. Kids are gross. We all know this. We were all there.


One of the pre-K students at school had her hands in her mouth. I thought she was chewing on something, but when I asked her what she had in her mouth she told me "nothin', just trying to clean the dirt off my fingers." Yes. True story. She was using her mouth to clean the dirt off of her fingers. Now that you are completely grossed out, as I was, here are my TBR books.



TBR Thursday is a weekly post hosted by Book Love Blog
Post about all the books in all forms and from all sources that you received/bought/picked up to read in the last week. 


This week I have picked up two books; Nevermore by Kelly Creagh and Tempestuous (Wondrous Strange #3) by Lesley Livingston at the library. The reviews on both are through the roof and I can't wait to [hopefully] enjoy them for myself!


Tempestuous
"I don't love Sonny Flannery."
That's the lie Kelley Winslow told to protect the boy she loves from a power he doesn't know he possesses. Devastated, Sonny retreats—to a haven for Lost Fae that's hidden deep underneath New York City.
But Kelley's not about to let things end in heartbreak. To get Sonny back, she's got to find out who's after his magick—and how to use her own. She's got to uncover who's recruiting Janus Guards to murderously hunt innocent Faerie. She's got to help rebuild the shattered theater company she called family. And she's got to do it all without getting dangerously distracted by the Fennrys Wolf, whose legendary heart of stone seems to melt whenever he's around Kelley.

Nevermore
Cheerleader Isobel Lanley is horrified when she is paired with Varen Nethers for an English project, which is due—so unfair—on the day of the rival game. Cold and aloof, sardonic and sharp-tongued, Varen makes it clear he’d rather not have anything to do with her either. But when Isobel discovers strange writing in his journal, she can’t help but give this enigmatic boy with the piercing eyes another look. 
Soon, Isobel finds herself making excuses to be with Varen. Steadily pulled away from her friends and her possessive boyfriend, Isobel ventures deeper and deeper into the dream world Varen has created through the pages of his notebook, a realm where the terrifying stories of Edgar Allan Poe come to life. As her world begins to unravel around her, Isobel discovers that dreams, like words, hold more power than she ever imagined, and that the most frightening realities are those of the mind. Now she must find a way to reach Varen before he is consumed by the shadows of his own nightmares. 
His life depends on it.
