A Quick Bookish Survey (4)

I (Kelly) found this short bookish survey awhile ago and it's a fun, easy way to update everyone on your current reading habits. Sometimes questionnaires of this sort can get a little long - this is just five easy questions! If you would like to participate and catch us up on your reads, be sure to leave your choices or a link in the comments. (I wish I could make this post a little more aesthetically-pleasing with some pictures, but my computer is not cooperating...)


1. The book I'm currently reading: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince by J.K. Rowling - I reread this series annually and this year's is coming to a close. The sixth book is my favorite, so I'm enjoying this immensely :)

2. The last book I finished: The Girl of Fire and Thorns by Rae Carson - my goodreads friends have been gushing over this one, so I gave it a try. I really like the world and magic created in the story!

3. The next book I want to read: The Maze Runner by James Dashner - I tend to get overexcited when books get turned into movies! 

4. The last book I bought: The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin - I bought this A LONG time ago, because thanks to my library, I don't have to buy books very often anymore. What a crazy ride Mara was! I rushed out to get the sequel almost immediately.

5. The last book I was given: The White Princess by Philippa Gregory - people usually don't give me books, but I received this one for review recently. You can find my review here.

  4. Nice book survey! I'm currently reading The Last Time They Met by Anita Shreve and I'm a bit iffy on finishing it. The last book I read was Cuckoo's Calling by JKR (review on my blog) and I really liked it!
