Social Media Tag + Reading Update!

Hey guys!
It's Rotem here :)
So I wanted to do the SM tag and to just tell you what I'm reading the moment.
I had a pretty busy week and I'm currently reading 4 books.
I don't do that often, maximum three.
So the first book I'm not reading but listening to is Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn. It's about 19 hours long and I've only listened to 2:30 hours so far, but I'm loving it. I'll probably stop for a while, I like listening to audiobooks on the roads so that would have to wait for Sunday.
The second one is Legend by Marie Lu. I'm reading this because everyone loves this trilogy so I thought I'll try but I don't like it so far. I do plan on finishing this book, and I hope the rest of it is better. I'm about 100 pages in so far.
The third book I'm reading is The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. I'm about 300 pages in and I'm loving it so far, I have no idea why I haven't finished it.
And the last book I only started 2 days ago in class is Paper Towns by John Green. IDK why would I read ANOTHER book but I do. I don't have an opinion on it just yet, wait for my October wrap up for that.
I have read 1 book cover to cover but again, more to that in my wrap up.

And for the fun part!

IT'S TOP 5 WEDNESDAY! - TERRIBLE BOOK COVERS

Hey guys, and welcome to my brand new reading blog!
So, t5w.
I always thought that it's pretty awesome and really wanted to join "the back scenes" of it.
So guess what? I DID.
Today's topping is as you can see, terrible book covers. Feel free to join the Goodreads group for all of the toppings and everything.
If you've never heard of T5W you should totally check that out.
Ok, for the covers. They're in a kind of random order.
First we have the Hebrew version of The Fault In Our Stars by John Green.  I own the regular English version and I love it but.. yea. Thumbs down for the Hebrew one. It looks like that.
Up next is the old (I think!) version of Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi. I mean, don't get me wrong, the other books are beautiful. But that girl.. och. I love the eye version tho and I'll be ordering that series soon. I'm talking about this.
Next is one of my favorites - The Perks of Being a Wellflower. It's not really terrible but borring, and I think they did a better job with the movie cover. The one with text is amazing. I love it. But who cares, this book is great and some would say it matchs the book but I don't. Check it out here.
The next book is a book I loved when I was younger and I still do but the english virsion of it just looks ugly. It is Audrey, Wait! by Robin Benway. Just.. terrible, look. How can you not hate it?
And for the last book is another book I haven't read it and it's An Abundance of Katherine. I know this book has a few covers but I hate them all exepet for the audio CD one, but my least favorite I guess is that. I mean.. the faces? and.. everything pretty much. I don't know if I should read this even. 
Please share your top 5 tribble covers!

And let me stalk you back!

September wrap up and October TBR.

WELCOME TO MT FIRST WRAP UP+TBR !!!

So I'll post these posts every 1th of a new month if my school won't be too crazy. That might happen and I'll that.
So I started school on Sep 1st and it's my first year in high school and that was kind of crazy and idk I had this feeling that I wasn't reading enough but it turned out kinda fine, I read a total of six books and that's nice.
And for the books:


The first book I started in August but finished in September was The Lying Game by Sara Shepard. This is the first book in the series. I saw the TV show first  but it's nothing alike, and the main reason I ever did that was my love and addiction to the Pretty Little Liars series. I loved the book and I can't wait to get more  books of that series! I really hope the next books have more action because I felt it was pretty slow. 4.5/5 stars.

The second book I started for the first day of school is the AMAZING Walking Disaster by Jamie McGuire. Oh god, Travis. I mean, MORE MADDOX? PERFECT. Such a sexy book. But the thing is I loved how everything was mysterious if you know what I mean and Walking Disaster destroyed that (you see what I did there?) but I loved it anyway. 4/5 stars.

The next book is Wonder, by  RJ Palacio. I finished it in about a day-a day and a half maybe, and I honestly believe everyone should read this and learn something. 5/5 stars with a full heart.

The next book that it's kind of wired I only read now and it is Percy Jacson - Lightning Thief (Book 1 ). I read it because everyone kept telling me "Read this" so I did, it was immature for me I loved it anyway and I will keep on reading the Percy Jacson books. 4/5 stars.

The next book I read (re-read honestly) is The Perks Of Being A Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky. It's one of my top favorite books of all times and I kind of have a crush on Charlie so it's awesome. I really want to write a review for that on my reviews blog so look out for that. READ THIS IF YOU HAVEN'T YET YOU MUST. 5+/5 stars.

And the last book for this month is Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell. I haven't finished it yet  but I'm planning on doing that today so yea. I love it I love Rainbow I love Cath I love Levi I love Nick and I miss him so much. I don't want to rate it yet but I guess it will be 5/5.

AND TO MY OCTOBER TBR!
First of all I'll finish fangirl. That will happen soon as I wrote above but that counts.

Next I want to read John Green's Paper Towns. I heard good things about it and I want it behind me before the movie buzz so I'll be doing that.

Next is a book I know I'll read on Oct 4th (Yom Cippor) is The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. I wanted to read this book forever and I feel like I would really connect to that book and I saved it to Yom Cippor even tho they aren't related, I just know I won't put this book down and it will make me kinda sad so.. yea.

The next book I borrowed from A friend and I need to give it back is Legend by Marrie Lo. Supper exited to read this and I have nothing else to say about this, I really hope I'll enjoy it like I expect to.

Next up I have another barrowed book and that is Percy Jacson - The Sea of Monsters. I might end up picking up the third book this month too but I don't know yet.

And finally to MY books again! I'll be reading The Hundred Years Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared by Jonas Jonasson. I started this last year in class but we never finshed it and I really wanted to know what happens next so I picked it up and I'm gonna read it. 

The next three I downloaded for free with an app called "free books". I'll be waiting for a winter day or something like that and thay are Dracula, Frankenstein & The Strange case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hide. I don't have much to say about these but I saw remakes for all three as a younger girl and I think it's finally time to know the source to that. This app has a lot of classics and I love it and more people should have it.

And the last book is an audiobook I have on my iPod  is A Beautiful Wedding by Jamie McGurie. Super exited for that to happen. I think I'll listen to it mostly on buses and trains or on a walk, this is my first audiobook so I hope I'll like it. 

And that's it, nine books. I hope to finish as much as I can and still study as much as I need.
Sorry if that was long, feel free to ask my anything or share your thoughts!
