Random Reads #8

Random Reads is a monthly meme hosted by Sarah at I’m Loving Books.  This feature is to get us reading a random book within the month that is in our TBR stack.

Random Reads is a meme where we pick a random book from our shelf to read within the month. Feel free to do more than one per month, but since a lot of people have a lot of books to read each month, only one is “required” for the meme.

Want to join in on Random Reads?

It’s easy…


  1. If you’re on Goodreads enable sorting to your to-read shelf (you should see numbers next to each book now).
  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 (below). 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!
This month Random chose number 14 which is

Entangled - Cat Clarke
This was a lucky pick as I actually have it on my 'read soon' pile, hopefully that means I will really read it soon rather than just keep saying so. I'm still reading January's Random Read, Enchanted, but I'm so slow at the moment - a review will appear soon!

Reading RoundUp #23

It's Monday, What Are You Reading? is hosted by Sheila at Book Journey This is a great way to plan out your reading week and see what others are currently reading as well… you never know where that next “must read” book will come from!

A better week for reading but still not great! This week will be an off week as I'm currently with the terrible twosome at my sister's house, not much reading again as I take advantage of going to bed early and sleeping! I've also fractured my right elbow and as I am right-handed things are awkward to say the least! It's currently strapped up while my docs deliberate over whether I need surgery or not...

Finished

The Program - Suzanne Young

Killing Rachel - Anne Cassidy

Undone - Cat Clarke

Wickedness - Deborah White

The Testing - Joelle Charbonneau

Don't Look Back - S B Hayes

Reading

A Ranger's Tale - Mysti Parker

Hysteria - Megan Miranda

Very exciting happenings in the life of the Bookish Outsider on Wednesday, there will no doubt be photos at some point! I'm away now until Thursday but there are posts scheduled to go up and I will try to catch up with comments when I'm back. Have a great week everyone!

Reading RoundUp #22

It's Monday, What Are You Reading? is hosted by Sheila at Book Journey This is a great way to plan out your reading week and see what others are currently reading as well… you never know where that next “must read” book will come from!

You can tell I spent the whole week at my sister's house, I got so little reading done and it was a complete fail on Bout Of Books 7.0. For the next one I'm locking myself in the house and making no plans! I've also been really lax in keeping my book journal so I've lost track of what I've started and what I've finished. Another reason why I shouldn't spend so much time at my sister's without my journal, or my books...

Finished

Life After Life -Kate Atkinson

Me Before You - Jojo Moyes

Witchstruck - Victoria Lamb

Midwinterblood - Marcus Sedgwick
Chantress - Amy Butler Greenfield

Dead Ever After - Charlaine Harris

Still reading

Wickedness - Deborah White

A Clash Of Kings - George R R Martin

Started

Undone - Cat Clarke

I think that's everything I've started and/or finished, I'm sure at the end of the year when I'm updating my Goodreads I'll more than likely think of quite a few that I've missed over the year. In other exciting bookish news, last Sunday I went to a book signing for the first time since a certain Jasper Fforde last year and got to meet the lovely Raymond E Feist! He was very nice and signed my copy of Faerie Tale and of course, Magician's End, which is the whole reason he was touring the UK. I've got two more really exciting signings/talks coming up over the next month, one by a strange chap by the name of Neil Gaiman! Squeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
