Netgalley November: Week 1 & 2 Wrap Up


Hey guys! So last week I forgot to post a wrap up (I know, I'm a terrible human being!) so this week's counts for two!

Books I Finished in Week 1

Books I Finished in Week 2

The Kissing Booth
The Name on Your Wrist by Helen Hiorns / The Kissing Booth by Beth Reekles

What I'm Currently Reading
17261129
Freakboy by Kristin Elizabeth Clark

Although I'd hoped to be further ahead by this point, I have had blog tour books to read on top of school work and my part-time job, so all in all I'm not too far behind. This next week I'm hoping to get through three more books, so fingers crossed! Also look out for my review of The Kissing Booth.

It's the first thing they teach you when you start school. But they don't need to; your parents tell you when you're first learning how to say your name. It's drummed into you whilst you're taking your first stumbling steps. It's your lullaby. From the moment it first appears, you don't tell anyone the name on your wrist.

In Corin's world, your carpinomen - the name of your soul mate, marked indelibly on your wrist from the age of two or three - is everything. It's your most preciously guarded secret; a piece of knowledge that can give another person ultimate power over you. People spend years, even decades, searching for the one they're supposed to be with.

But what if you never find that person? Or you do, but you just don't love them? What if you fall for someone else - someone other than the name on your wrist?

And what if - like Corin - the last thing in the world you want is to be found?

I can't decide on a rating. I can't decide on a rating and I hate it when that happens! The Name on Your Wrist's synopsis piqued my interest, and whilst on one hand I want to sing its praises, on the other I just can't get over the fact that nothing happened.
