A Shake up of my TBR List....

Hi there, I have shaken up my TBR List after another failure in my shrinking my 'To Be Read Shelf'. So fingers crossed this works.
But first!! I will tell you about the book I did read and about the book I am currently reading. Also since we're shaking it up a little I thought I'd show you a tv show that I have recently started watching and loving!!!

So the book I did manage to complete in September is ....

Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo!

I personally loved this book, I felt after reading A Court Of Thorns And Roses it was what I needed, to prove that it wasn't just I don't do fantasy books. No offence! I really enjoyed the pace of the book. Now after my issues with Feyre, I was very cautious with Alina but I really liked her and thought she was quite bad ass. I didn't really get her love for Mal though, I mean I get she loved him I just found it very one sided, but then again it was first person narrated. I just didn't see  that Mal was interested in nothing more than friendship. The Darkling though, I loved the Darkling even when he was at his worst, I just really liked him. Oops. Also I didn't feel any kind of connection with Mal, like it was almost like he just faded into the backround. I was just felt a bit meh with him. (great describing there I know!)

Two characters I found really well rounded and quite interesting were Baghra and Genya, their reasons for doing things I found fascinating. I just found them very interesting characters. I have the 2nd and 3rd books on my bookshelf which I can't wait to read!

The book that I am currently reading is .....

Pride And Prejudice by Jane Austen!!!

I am really loving this book, I'm about 70% through this book so I will probably spend the rest of October finishing this book. I love Elizabeth Bennett, her wit and sarcasm. She seems ahead of her time in a sense. I'm loving her relationship with Mr Darcy, how they bounce off each other and they both give as good as they get with each other. I also really liked Mr Bingley and Jane, they seem genuine and just lovely people, I also in a quiz on Jane Austen characters got Jane. So yknow!
As you know I am reading this for my IGCSE's but it has definitely made me want to pick up more Jane Austen novels. If you would like to keep up to date on my progress with Pride and Prejudice on Goodreads, here is my page - Goodreads

Excuse the fact it's in a coffee pot turned my mums penny jar, hey I'm reusing it, totally being eco friendly!

So now onto the shake up of my TBR list, well I have decided since I'm pretty good at reading two books a month, I still don't know how people read four or more, I've written down all the books that I still have yet to read on my bookshelf, put them in a jar and pick two out. Those two books will be the books to read for the month! Athough if they are part of a series, say the mortal instruments for example, I will put the book that is next/first in the series and then when i've finished that book add the next book to the TBR Jar!!! Because otherwise I might pick a book out and I haven't even started the first book!
I hope that makes sense.
I picked the first two books the other day, so the two books I will be reading this month are...

Sorry about the terrible cutting skills, I wrote it so nice and then just chopped it to pieces! 

I'm soo stoked to be finally getting round to reading Days Of Blood And Starlight by Laini Taylor! I read Daughter of Smoke and Bone which is the first of the trilogy and I loved it. My old headteacher actually helped me find this series! Weird how little things influence you isn't it?! 

Now I'll be honest with you, I am a little apprehensive about the throne of glass series as its quite hyped and is meant to be really good,but I am slightly aprehensive especially since I had such troubles with ACOTAR.  But I want to see if it's as good as people say.  If you have read any of the books I have mentioned let me know what you thought, no spoilers though! Talk books with me!

So now the tv series I'm currently binge marathoning is Greys Anatomy, there's 11 seasons! I'm currently just started season 4 as of today! I really like Christina and Meredith. Meredith and Derek, I love! Lol! My favorite character though would have to be Dr Bailey. If you like Greys Anatomy, Hi! I actually went to this home ed group that my brother and I attend every Thursday and I got talking to one of the parents about it, turns out shes a fan as well. I mean mcdreamy! 

So hopefully that works, it just may take more time to finish my TBR list but at least I may actually do it! I feel like I have put a ban on buying anymore books except for one, very special book that I pre-ordered as an early birthday treat to myself. Some people might think I mean the new Twilight 10th anniversary book that came out recently but no as much as I am a Twihard for life! I will buy that but not in the near future. The only book to be pre-orderered (I've never actually for myself pre-ordered a book) and be added to my TBR list is Inferno by Catherine Doyle!!! Okay lets be real thats not that much of a shock is it really! When it comes out on the 7th January, I will put whatever else I am reading on hold, its the one book I literally would give anything to read sooner! A highly anticipated book!!!

Also on a side note, I cant remember whether I mentioned on my last post that I was not going to Fall Out Boy, on Sunday just past. But one thing that I am doing, I am going to see One Direction on the last day of their tour in Sheffield! A spur of the moment decision, but at least I can say I was there at the last day, which I never have done before. Now because I got the tickets through reselling, they are obviously not disabled tickets, but I am going to take my long cane and my symbol cane with me, which is something I haven't done before. I guess I'm quite anxious about my long cane because I don't like knowing people will stare at me. I have a kind of mentality of thinking people will think, I shouldn't be there. But I'm not going to stop those kind of thoughts(hopefully!) from going and having a good time. My mum will be coming with me and we will be staying over in Sheffield overnight and hopefully if i'm not too shattered we will be doing a little bit of shopping the next day.
Thanks for reading,
until next time
