Wonderfully Wicked Read-A-Thon II



I've decided to sign up for the Wonderfully Wicked Read-A-Thon hosted by MyShelfConfessions. It is a week long and I'm super excited. 
As some of you know, I did not get to participate in Bout Of Books even though I signed up for it. Family things happened, school got in the way. So I'm going to try to make up for it through this Read-A-Thon. 

Okay, so the books I plan on reading are (in no particular order):

  Two stepsisters...One summer in London...

one heir to the throne.

The race is on.

Helene Masterson and Alexis Worth are best friends who also happen to be stepsisters. When Helene lands a chance-of-a-lifetime summer internship in London, Alexis simply has to go too--and she takes her gigantic crush on a certain prince with her. To make their summer royally interesting, punky Helene and preppy Alexis make a bet that could change their lives forever: Which one will hook Prince William by summer's end? These forever friends learn that competition can be fun, but when it gets out of control, their friendship is tested. No doubt these girls are in for one fun and crazy summer. 



  "Two stepsisters...one summer in Paris...

one heir to the fashion throne..."

Can this summer possibly top the last?

When Helene's estranged father invites her to spend a summer with him in Paris, the combo of her new movie-star stepmother, lovingly dubbed by the press the Ice Queen, and the father she barely knows isn't making her scream "oui " Her best friend and stepsister, Alexis, must stay behind to travel with her estranged mother, but before Helene leaves, Alexis gives her a challenge: Capture the prince of Paris. Helene has quite a summer ahead of her.

Luckily for Helene, Alexis's mother cancels their travel plans...again...and Alexis decides to join her sister in Paris. Despite its bumpy beginning, the girls' summer is getting hotter by the moment. As Alexis and Helene chase their prince all over town in an unforgettable summer adventure, let's hope their catch doesn't turn out to be a toad. 

  When Calypso returns from Los Angeles to her English boarding school for the summer term, she is determined to fit in with the popular crowd. Her plan is to pretend her mother's gay assistant back home is her boyfriend. And to her surprise, the trick works...at least at first. She makes a whole batch of new friends, and even finds herself winning the unwritten contest to woo the prince at the boys' school next door. But one girl, Honey, undermines all her efforts. When Calypso and Prince Freddy end up in the tabloids and everything seems set to go down the drain, it's Calypso's parents and sense of humor that save her from utter humiliation. 
A fast-paced, laugh-out-loud-funny look at fitting in while still standing out...

September TBR List



Thanks to school I got minimal reading done, well, that's an understatement. I'm in my senior year of high school and I just managed to finish my weekly book report ONE DAY BEFORE - and that's when I read it to, folks. 

Needless to say, I've been busy. I hate when school starts and reading is put on the back burner. That's one of the worst times of the year in my opinion, well, that and when Bees come out. (I firmly believe spring was meant to destroy me.) 

But I'm planning to get back to reading this month (we'll see how that goes) so now, let's start off with September's TBR.

Like I said, I didn't read much last month so I'm going to keep a few of the books from August's TBR and add a few more to add some flavor.


  For thirty-five girls, the Selection is the chance of a lifetime. The opportunity to escape the life laid out for them since birth. To be swept up in a world of glittering gowns and priceless jewels. To live in a palace and compete for the heart of gorgeous Prince Maxon.
But for America Singer, being Selected is a nightmare. It means turning her back on her secret love with Aspen, who is a caste below her. Leaving her home to enter a fierce competition for a crown she doesn't want. Living in a palace that is constantly threatened by violent rebel attacks.
  Then America meets Prince Maxon. Gradually, she starts to question all the plans she's made for herself—and realizes that the life she's always dreamed of may not compare to a future she never imagined. (CLICK THE BOOK COVER FOR A LINK TO ADD TO YOUR GOODREADS SHELF)

Colie expects the worst when she's sent to spend the summer with her eccentric aunt Mira while her mother, queen of the television infomercial, tours Europe. Always an outcast -- first for being fat and then for being "easy" -- Colie has no friends at home and doesn't expect to find any in Colby, North Carolina. But then she lands a job at the Last Chance Cafe and meets fellow waitresses Morgan and Isabel, best friends with a loving yet volatile relationship. Wacky yet wise, Morgan and Isabel help Colie see herself in a new way and realize the potential that has been there all along.

7791997  Nora Grey's life is still far from perfect. Surviving an attempt on her life wasn't pleasant, but at least she got a guardian angel out of it. A mysterious, magnetic, gorgeous guardian angel. But despite his role in her life, Patch has been acting anything but angelic. He's more elusive than ever (if that's possible) and what's worse, he seems to be spending time with Nora's archenemy, Marcie Millar.
  Nora would have hardly noticed Scott Parnell, an old family friend who has moved back to town, if Patch hadn't been acting so distant. Even with Scott's totally infuriating attitude, Nora finds herself drawn to him - despite her lingering feelings that he is hiding something.
  If that weren't enough, Nora is haunted by images of her murdered father, and comes to question whether her Nephilim bloodline has anything to do with his death. Desperate to figure out what happened, she puts herself in increasingly dangerous situations to get the answer. But maybe some things are better left buried, because the truth could destroy everything - and everyone - she trusts. (CLICK THE BOOK COVER FOR A LINK TO ADD TO YOUR GOODREADS SHELF)

Then Kate gets some seriously bad news: Alexis's sarcastic, condescending, hot-but-he-knows-it cousin is crashing the girls' road trip. Adam bugs Kate in every possible way.

I know I'm late reading a lot of these books, they've just been sitting on my shelf because I feel like there is always something better to read. *Note: the last three books are from a Bind-Up. I have SEVEN bind ups and am trying to get through them as well! 

Have fun reading, I'll be back with more posts soon.
