What I've Read So Far In 2014 (Not Including Re-reads)

So, it's April. Almost the end of April. And if you're a diehard Shadowhunter like me, you know what that means: 34 days until the final, heartstopping book in Cassandra Clare's Mortal Instruments series, City of Heavenly Fire, comes out. And if you're like me, you're probably having a fangirl-attack. And you're probably panicking because none of those snippets sound good, and we have no idea what's going to happen to our favorite characters, and we're both excited and scared to read the next book.

But there are plenty of other books to read until City of Heavenly Fire hits shelves, and I've kept myself quite busy reading, trying not to think about possible deaths. Not exactly easy, as plenty of other books can trigger the feels, but I try.

So, below is a list of what I've read so far in 2014, and it does not include re-reads (I've done a lot of re-reading recently, as well).

• Unhinged (Splintered, 2) by A.G. Howard 
• Vitro by Jessica Khoury 
• Fallen series and Teardrop by Lauren Kate 
• Angelfall (Penryn and the End of Days, 1) by Susan Ee 
• Invisibility by Andrea Cremer and David Leviathan 
• Avalon (Avalon, 1) by Mindee Arnett 
• The Eternity Cure (Blood of Eden, 2) by Julie Kagawa
• Angel Fever (Angel, 3) by L.A Weatherly 
• Rift and Rise (Nightshade prequels) by Andrea Cremer 
• The Iron Traitor (The Iron Fey: Call of the Forgotten, 2) by Julie Kagawa 
• Loki's Wolves (The Blackwell Pages, 1) by Kelley Armstrong and Melissa Marr 
• Thirteen and Spell Bound (Women of the Otherworld 12, 13) by Kelley Armstrong

All of these books are excellent reads that I definitely recommend. Some of them surprised me. I especially recommend the Kelley Armstrong books (my all-time favorite author), Unhinged by A.G. Howard (for those of you who like fairytale retellings and mystical lands), Teardrop (for those of you who are looking for something unique. Don't be fooled if you didn't like Fallen. I didn't enjoy Fallen, though I didn't dislike it. Kate's writing has DEFINITELY improved since then, and it was a lot better than any of the Fallen books). I also recommend Loki's Wolves for those Percy Jackson fans out there. It really didn't feel like I was reading a Kelley Armstrong book, and I've never read anything by Melissa Marr, but it wasn't what I was used to from Kelley, but it was very good, and I definitely would recommend it to those who Percy Jackson and the Heroes of Olympus fans who are both anxiously awaiting and dreading October for the release of The Blood of Olympus. 

I'll be adding to this list every month. Though I can't promise there will be an update in May, as I will probably have plunged myself into Tartarus, after COHF. :( :(
