I have words pouring out of my ears

If literality would be used in the title, that would be strange and also quite disgusting.

I made a re-read month of May. Because at the beginning I was in a reading slump for some reasons *cough*thefaultinourstars*cough* so I made myself comfortable and began reading some books that I knew I would love.
The first mistake is that I forgot to write down exactly what books I have read. Shiet.
So, as I remember, I have read the following:

The Fault in Our Stars by John Green

In tradition of telling what books I have read the month before, I shall share with you what books I will read this current month!

Drums, Girls and Dangerous Pie by Jordan Sonnenblick
Synopsis from Goodreads

Thirteen-year-old Steven has a totally normal life: he plays drums in the All-Star Jazz band, has a crush on the hottest girl in the school, and is constantly annoyed by his five-year-old brother, Jeffrey. But when Jeffrey is diagnosed with leukemia, Steven's world is turned upside down. He is forced to deal with his brother's illness and his parents' attempts to keep the family in one piece. Salted with humor and peppered with devastating realities, DRUMS, GIRLS, AND DANGEROUS PIE is a heartwarming journey through a year in the life of a family in crisis.

I have already begun reading this, BUT I wasn't really in the mood for it at the time and I do really want to finish this. So THIS IS IT'S MONTH!


The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight by Jennifer E. Smith
Synopsis from Goodreads

Who would have guessed that four minutes could change everything?

Today should be one of the worst days of seventeen-year-old Hadley Sullivan's life. Having missed her flight, she's stuck at JFK airport and late to her father's second wedding, which is taking place in London and involves a soon-to-be stepmother Hadley's never even met. Then she meets the perfect boy in the airport's cramped waiting area. His name is Oliver, he's British, and he's sitting in her row.

A long night on the plane passes in the blink of an eye, and Hadley and Oliver lose track of each other in the airport chaos upon arrival. Can fate intervene to bring them together once more?

Quirks of timing play out in this romantic and cinematic novel about family connections, second chances, and first loves. Set over a twenty-four-hour-period, Hadley and Oliver's story will make you believe that true love finds you when you're least expecting it.


Mostly, re-read. I loved this book and I wanna love it again. Yay :D 


One by Leigh Ann Kopans
Synopsis from Goodreads

When having two powers makes you a Super and having none makes you a Normal, having only one makes you a sad half-superpowered freak.

It makes you a One.

Sixteen-year-old Merrin Grey would love to be able to fly – too bad all she can do is hover.

If she could just land an internship at the Biotech Hub, she might finally figure out how to fix herself. She busts her butt in AP Chem and salivates over the Hub’s research on the manifestation of superpowers, all in hopes of boosting her chances.

Then she meets Elias VanDyne, another One, and all her carefully crafted plans fly out the window. Literally. When the two of them touch, their Ones combine to make them fly, and when they’re not soaring over the Nebraska cornfields, they’re busy falling for each other.

Merrin's mad chemistry skills land her a spot on the Hub's internship short list, but as she gets closer to the life she always wanted, she discovers that the Hub’s purpose is more sinister than it has always seemed. Now it’s up to her to decide if it's more important to fly solo, or to save everything - and everyone - she loves.

Got this book from the author, she is really lovely by the way, for a review! And I really want to dive into it! I already began reading it and I read about 6 chapters and I like it! 


Looking for Alaska by John Green
Synopsis from Goodreads

Before. Miles "Pudge" Halter's whole existence has been one big nonevent, and his obsession with famous last words has only made him crave the "Great Perhaps" (François Rabelais, poet) even more. Then he heads off to the sometimes crazy, possibly unstable, and anything-but-boring world of Culver Creek Boarding School, and his life becomes the opposite of safe. Because down the hall is Alaska Young. The gorgeous, clever, funny, sexy, self-destructive, screwed-up, and utterly fascinating Alaska Young, who is an event unto herself. She pulls Pudge into her world, launches him into the Great Perhaps, and steals his heart.

After. Nothing is ever the same.


Always wanted to read this book. AND IT ARRIVED LAST WEEK AND IT'S SHINNY AND BEAUTIFUL! And, frankly, quite short.

Well, these are the books I would love to read this month, especially that school is ending in two weeks and three days, WUUT!! I.CAN'T.WAIT!

Also, yesterday I began to do an outline for my dystopian story thingie! And I'm quite proud of that! And I really want to finish the outline soon so I can write this summer because if I don't outline I won't be able to write. More on that in an other post, unfortunately.

I say to you goodbye,
J.
