Obviously I'm very indecisive right now over what I plan on reading next. I want to read more of the series' I'm into right now rather than start new ones, as I have a ton of first books to series. Honestly there's just so many I want to read and I want to be reading them all at once! I could, but I wouldn't enjoy them nearly as much as I do when it's just me and the one book world. Adding more than one, while I can keep them separate in my mind, it's not as enjoyable to have to put off another story in the middle of it, rather than at a point where it's supposed to be put off (like the end of a book that isn't the end of a series). ONE of the books listed is going to be one that I read next. They're ones I've been dying to read soon. It was seriously too hard for me to narrow at the moment. I'm sure I'll narrow it when I finish The Dream Thieves. It may be hard for me then, but it'll come down to what I'm feeling at the time. What Genre I want to read, and what book I feel the most pull towards. I don't know. I'm weird..
This has been a random ramble about the books I plan on reading next.
