    With the end of the year upon us, there are a number of books I wanted to get to, that I won't have the time to read. I kept reading books from my library, especially this Manga that I had been wanting to read for a while, and I kept requesting and getting approved for books from NetGalley. This could have been avoided by just reading the books I own, I say this every month, yet I never stop.

 

1.Blood's Pride by Evie Manieri - This book is on every one of these lists... and I still haven't read it. I've had this book for nearly 3 years, I think it's time to read it. I also recently bought book three, because it was on sale for 5$ and I just need to read the trilogy. It's taking up shelf space and I don't like donating books I haven't even tried reading.

2.A Heart So Fierce and Broken by Brigid Kemmerer - I haven't continued this series because I've heard so many mixed things about the rest of the series. But I think I just need to read it and find out for myself. 

3.Archenemies by Marissa Meyer - I have similar reasons for not finishing this series as well. Heard some things about the rest of the series that make me unsure if I will like what happens. I was a little underwhelmed with the first book in some aspects, and I had initially thought this was going to be a duology, but when I found out it was a trilogy I didn't know how that was going to work. I have all three books, so I think I just need to finish it and decide from there if I like it enough to keep, or if I should donate.

4.The Shadow Hour by Melissa Grey - I bought this book and the third book specifically because I had never continued the series after the first time I read the first book years ago, I even re-read the first book in preparation in reading this one and just never did.

5.Seven Endless Forests by April Genevieve Tucholke - A spin-off of The Boneless Mercies, that I read a little over a couple of years ago, I just hadn't gotten to this one yet. Kept getting distracted with other books.

6.Beyond a Darkened Shore by Jessica Leake - Just kept getting sidetracked. This happens more when I buy a book before reading it. And I only do that if I buy the sequel to a book I'm in the middle of, or if it's on sale. I should probably stop doing that. (I wont)

7.The Ninth Rain by Jen Williams - This one, just got. So, it makes sense why I haven't read it yet. 

8.The Might by Siri Pettersen - An eARC from NetGalley. I wanted to finish this one before the end of the year, but its unlikely. I hope to get to this one soon though.

9.Cold the Night, Fast the Wolves by Meg Long - Another NetGalley ARC, I want to at least get this one read before it's published early in January. 

10.Yona of the Dawn, Vol.19 by Mizuho Kusanagi - This one is mildly a choice. I could read it right now, it's available at my library, as are the rest of the volumes in the series (that are out). But then I'd have to wait an undetermined amount of time to wait for the ones my library doesn't have. I can read a volume of Manga in about an hour, maybe 2 if I get distracted with adult responsibilities. And I want to savor the rest of the series that my library has as I wait for them to buy the ones they don't.
