So I haven’t been home for more than 24 hours in a while. Which means that I haven’t had the time to actually record an IMM vlog from my house. I’ve gotten quite the collection of books at home that I have yet to show you all, but I think I want to save it for when I can actually take a picture or record a vlog. Hopefully, I’ll find the time to cross the Hudson River in a few weeks. 
But for now, you’ll have to settle for my reading pile!
Top of the Shelf / Currently Reading
What’s next on my to-read list for the upcoming week. I’m doing a blast from the past. I doubt any of you [devoted] followers remember this mini-feature that I used to do along with my Top of the Shelf posts. But since I am somehow finding time to squeeze in reading in between all the school work, I decided to bring it back. Also, because I feel like I need a lot more variation in my reading.
To make my to-read list a little more interesting and varied, each of the books must fall under a certain category:
Young at Heart –
Young adult novel.Well, it seems more appropriate if this was a middle grade novel…
- Young at Heart – The Shadows by Jacqueline West. This is the first book in the Books of Elsewhere series. I heard about this book when I interned at a literary agency in the spring. I haven’t read a middle grade novel in a while so I’m really excited for the change of pace! Borrowed from the NYPL ebook library.
- Not Your Sister’s Book – To Catch an Heiress by Julia Quinn. This is also a first in a series. I have not read a Julia Quinn novel in a while ever since I finished the Bridgerton series earlier this year. I can’t wait to dive back into the work of one of my favorite authors, but this will probably be the last of the three that I will read. Mostly because I just requested it through my library. The good news is that I’m first on queue. Will also be borrowed from the NYPL ebook library.
- Market Fresh – The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern. The amount of positive reviews this one has is a bit worrying. Can it really be that good? I guess I’ll find out soon… Borrowed from the NYPL ebook library.

What’s next on my to-read list for the upcoming week. I’m still reading A Game of Thrones but I should be finishing it up within the next few days. I want something light to read after it, but I know I still have to tackle my review pile, but at least it’ll be a Maggie Stiefvater book!
For Review
I received an audiobook from Macmillan Audio a few weeks ago. The review for it is already up along with the book version of Glow.
Everything Else
I got a lot more books this week than expected. I got the Little Prince as a birthday gift from my friends, Heidi and Alby. The rest are from Comic Con.
Yes, I’ll probably have a giveaway of the extra copies soon.
