TBR Thursday (2)

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. 

Afterlife
This week I picked up Outside In (Inside Out #2) by Maria V. Snyder and Afterlife (Evernight #4) by Claudia Gray. Both books are sequels or part of a series. 

As, I know, I've stated before I am a huge Maria V. Snyder fan, especially the Study Series of hers. I am also a big follower of the Evernight series by Claudia Gray and Afterlife is the fourth book in this series (it's great, boarding school and vampires all in one series).


Outside In
Since both are parts of a series I will not post summaries, just in case you haven't read their predecessors I don't want to spoil anything for you! Each title is linked to the goodreads page though for convenience. 


Have you picked up any good books this week? I am about 70 pages away from finishing Nevermore, what a long book (page wise, but didn't seem very long). Will have a review up tomorrow for it!! In the meantime I will be continuing to read Everlost, I shall start either Outside In, Afterlife, or Tempestuous. City of Fallen Angels comes out Tuesday (Just in case anyone forgot) so I'm hoping to get 2 more books read before then, which is very doable, minus the working 10 hour days but I'll make it happen.

My Favorite Authors

I enjoy laughing, crying, nail biting, and admiring when I'm reading a good book. These are just some of my favorite authors and why I love their writing so much!

John Green- For his fun and sarcastic characters that I can never help but love. For the plot twists that make me wonder, and the drama that makes me cry.

Suzanne Collins- She is one amazing writer, by far one of the best and greatest. The Hunger Games Trilogy is going to be a classic, a series kids should read in school. When she describes the poor conditions in the Districs I can visualize the pain, suffering and famine.

Kelley Armstrong- She is an excellent writer. Her Darkest Powers series created a detailed world filled with strong will and courage.

Sarah Dessen- Why wouldn't she be a favorite? She captures coming of age moments and glorifies them on paper. Her stories are real, the characters are loving and people anyone could know. Her books are amazing for their simple elements and their complex ones. 

Maria V. Snyder- I get lost in the worlds of Sitia and Ixia when I turn the pages in her books. She has created an alternate universe that everyone should venture to. She is able to bring characters to life and display them from pages in a book. I admire her ability to write and I get lost in the places she has conjured up.

Rachel Caine- Morganville is a place I want to live, even with all of it's goriness. The bond Caine has captured between those living in the Glass House is admirable. I love her writing style, her books never get old.
