Top Ten Tuesday is a meme created by the Broke and the Bookish

Today's topic is ten books in the second half of the year that I'm excited for. Naturally--being a reader that I am--of course I have more than 10 books that I'm excited for. But I'll stick to 10 books, otherwise this post won't be any different than my goodreads '2016-release' shelf. Here they are :

Once upon a time, a girl had a father, a prince, a society of friends. Then they betrayed her, and she destroyed them all.

Adelina Amouteru’s heart has suffered at the hands of both family and friends, turning her down the bitter path of revenge. Now known and feared as the White Wolf, she flees Kenettra with her sister to find other Young Elites in the hopes of building her own army of allies. Her goal: to strike down the Inquisition Axis, the white-cloaked soldiers who nearly killed her.

But Adelina is no heroine. Her powers, fed only by fear and hate, have started to grow beyond her control. She does not trust her newfound Elite friends. Teren Santoro, leader of the Inquisition, wants her dead. And her former friends, Raffaele and the Dagger Society, want to stop her thirst for vengeance. Adelina struggles to cling to the good within her. But how can someone be good when her very existence depends on darkness?

Bestselling author Marie Lu delivers another heart-pounding adventure in this exhilarating sequel to The Young Elites.

May (and a little bit April) Recap

I celebrated my 17 birthday in April! 17 is a big deal here since it's the official legal age--now I can drive (I haven't learn, though) and vote. Other than that, as expected, April is really really busy.

As for May, well, I actually got a one week holiday at the beginning of it. Unfortunately, I got a blogging slumps again since I'm really really tired and just want to sleep all day. After that, there's many exams again until last week, when I finished my final examinations.

Now, I can promise to you guys that I'll be really active in June (and hopefully, July), though I will be vacationing to Bali with my friends at the beginning of June (this Saturday!)

GOODREADS | PURCHASE

Princess Eadlyn has grown up hearing endless stories about how her mother and father met. Twenty years ago, America Singer entered the Selection and won the heart of Prince Maxon—and they lived happily ever after. Eadlyn has always found their fairy-tale story romantic, but she has no interest in trying to repeat it. If it were up to her, she'd put off marriage for as long as possible.

But a princess's life is never entirely her own, and Eadlyn can't escape her very own Selection—no matter how fervently she protests.

Eadlyn doesn't expect her story to end in romance. But as the competition begins, one entry may just capture Eadlyn's heart, showing her all the possibilities that lie in front of her . . . and proving that finding her own happily ever after isn't as impossible as she's always thought.
