1. 

I read Clockwork Angel earlier this year and absolutely LOVED it. I am so excited to read this book but it's still coming in the post. As soon as it gets here, I am going to be reading it!

Clockwork Prince

by Cassandra Clare

I bought this book a week ago and it sounds like such an amazing book! I've heard a lot of good things about Michael Grant's writing and I'm excited to start reading his work.

Eve & Adam
by Michael Grant and Katherine Applegate

This book has been high on my TBR list for ages and I just never seem to get around to it. I've been recommended this book numerous of times and I think it's about time I start it!

The Knife of Never Letting Go 
by Patrick Ness







I bought this book because a friend recommended it to me. I never knew how popular it was on the booktube community until I included it in a haul video. I'm very excited to read it because everyone seems to like it and I want to know what it's like!

Slated
by Teri Terry

I saw this book on Pippit Bop's YouTube channel and when I saw it on the discount section of an online bookstore, I had to get it!
It sounds like an awesome book and I really can't wait to read it!

Before I Go To Sleep 
by S.J. Watson






2.  

These are the 5 books that I would definitely add to the stack! They all have amazing covers and would contribute well to my bookshelf and they would definitely be at the top of my TBR list!:D

Document Your Life | JUNE

This is my first time I have attempted to make a Document Your Life and just realised that the title on the video say 'Document My Life' 😄
This month's Document Your Life consists of vlogs, ice cream, birthdays, days out, summer, and craziness:D

Document Your Life was created by Lauren Hannah: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCa40JeMC0idOiGvGuviPulg
Project Document Your Life blog page: http://laurenhannahblog.tumblr.com/documentyourlife

~Document Your Life is an online video project that will hopefully make you notice the little beautiful things in the world, and inspire you to live your life to the fullest. The idea is to make a video each month, for which you film short clips of the things you've seen and done in that month. ~

Friday Reads 06/21/13

This weekend I am planning to finish the City of Bones by Cassandra Clare. I have finally started on the Mortal Instruments and I am LOVING it so far. I'm getting worried that five books won't be enough. I'll do a full review after I have finished.

Then, I want to HOPPITY HOP HOP onto the City of Ashes right away.

If I get a chance, I might start a chapter or two on Looking for Alaska by John Green and The House at the End of the Street
