August Random Reads (2): The Outsider by Melinda Metz

I decided to join in on Sarah's meme and I'll let Random.org choose my books for me because I seriously need to make a dent in my TBR mountain. Though I secretly believe my TBR mountain is a direct descendant of the Hydra, because no matter how many books I read from it, the pile keeps getting bigger and bigger. Anyway...

The rules are pretty simple:

1. If you’re on Goodreads enable sorting to your to-read shelf
2. Go to Random.org and type in the Min as 1 and the Max as how many ever books are on your to-read shelf.
3. Scroll down to the book matching the number Random.org picks.
4. Link up to your Random Reads post. If you choose more than one book per month, be sure to put a number by your name in the list so it doesn’t look like a duplicate.
5. Read and be merry.

Here's what Random.org chose for me: 75 *drum roll* That means I'm going to read The Outsider by Melinda Metz. Nice! I've had this on my TBR since I saw Roswell and found out that it's based on a series of books. Now I'm really excited.

January Random Reads (1): Half-Blood by Jennifer L. Armentrout

This year I decided that, since I didn't join in on any reading challenges (I know, the sacrilege! *gasps*), I should let something else decide what books to read and in what order. I also wanted to do this because, honestly, my TBR mountain scares me and I've no idea what I should read first. So I'm joining in on Sarah's meme and I'll let Random.org choose my books for me.

The rules are pretty simple:

1. If you’re on Goodreads enable sorting to your to-read shelf
2. Go to Random.org and type in the Min as 1 and the Max as how many ever books are on your to-read shelf.
3. Scroll down to the book matching the number Random.org picks.
4. Link up to your Random Reads post. If you choose more than one book per month, be sure to put a number by your name in the list so it doesn’t look like a duplicate.
5. Read and be merry.

Here's what Random.org chose for me: 263. That means *drum roll*...

Half-Blood by Jennifer L. Armentrout. Yay! I'm so excited to read this book. As you know, I'm a huge fan of Armentrout's Lux series and I'm also a bit sad that it's going to end *pouting* But I have heard a lot of good things about her other books, especially the Covenant series, so it has been patiently waiting on my TBR island. I can't wait to read this book.
