Ahoy, there!

Muggle-Born.net is a blog mostly on young adult book reviews. My name is Cialina, and I am a college student living in New York City. I love Harry Potter, coffee, and bookstores.

I would love to review ARCs, eBooks, and finished copies of your books! Please contact me through here or by sending an email to books[a]muggle-born.net. I currently do not accept titles from self-published authors. For more on my review policy and rating system, click here.

Top of the Shelf #4

A weekly meme on the books on the top of my list to read and books recently acquired, borrowed, or bought. Inspired by the Story Siren’s In My Mailbox.

I knew it I’d be behind… After a full day of internship, I can’t really get myself to pick up a book and read after reading for eight hours. Since I am camping this weekend (this post has been scheduled), I hope to get all my reading done. So I’m going to be optimistic and say that I have no leftovers this weekend! Didn’t have time to finish and schedule this post. As it turned out, I ended up different books rather than the ones on my list. I have leftovers. Again. Boo.

Lucky me, I qualify for a New York Public Library card so I am now able to download ebooks from their website! Yay! I put a lot of books on hold that I have been looking forward to reading such as The Body Finder and Beautiful Creatures.

What’s next on my to-read list for the upcoming week. To make my to-read list a little more interesting and varied, each of the four books must fall under a certain category:

For the Story Must Go On… - Books part of a series.
A Touch of Tendre – Romance novels.
Young at Heart – Young adult novel.
Not Your Sister’s Book – Adult novel that a six-year-old wouldn’t touch
Market Fresh – Recently released or soon to be released book.

For the Story Must Go On… - Perfect Fifths by by Megan McCafferty and Mortal Engines by Philip Reeve. Leftovers from last week.
A Touch of Tendre – This Duchess of Mine by Eloisa James. Borrowed from the library.
Young at Heart – The Mysterious Benedict Society by Trenton Lee Stewart. Borrowed from the NYPL ebook library.
Not Your Sister’s Book – Skipping this category this week cause of all the leftovers.
Market Fresh – How to Make a Bird by Martine Murray. Snagged from internship.

Snagged from Internship

Airhead by Meg Cabot – I already read this, but I didn’t have a copy until now.

Closing remarks: A little over 24 hours left to enter my EVERLASTING GIVEAWAY. Also I have read 89 out of 100 books this year! My updated goal is to reach the 100 mark before the release of Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins!
