Welcome to the Mid Month Reading Update! August is a pretty big month for me I guess? School is starting up in a few days and I am attending a Taylor Swift concert today! (Woohoo! Excited :D) Anyway, I have read quite a few books so let's get to the update! :)

Violent Ends

Author: Various
Pages: 384
Publishing by: Simon Pulse 
Publishing on: September 1st 2015
It took only twenty-two minutes for Kirby Matheson to exit his car, march onto school grounds, enter the gymnasium, and open fire, killing six and injuring five others.  But this isn't a story about the shooting itself. This isn't about recounting that one unforgettable day. This is about Kirby and how one boy—who had friends, enjoyed reading, played saxophone in the band, and had never been in trouble before—became a monster capable of entering his school with a loaded gun and firing on his classmates. Each chapter is told from a different victim's viewpoint, giving insight into who Kirby was and who he'd become. Some are sweet, some are dark; some are seemingly unrelated, about fights or first kisses or late-night parties.  This is a book of perspectives—with one character and one event drawing them all together—from the minds of some of YA's most recognizable names.

What's Been Happening?

Well, for one I am currently trying to slug through Violent Ends book. If past Kaitlin got her shit together and finished it then she probably put her fist down and told herself she needed to stop going on Tumblr and READ for once. Yeah, binge watching shows really doesn't do good to you. It does not leave you when you finish the binge oh no. I finished my Arrow binge probably about two weeks ago and I am still hung up on it! (I also finished my Flash binge but that didn't affect me as much since it was only one season long...) Anywho, I had some school shenanigans I had to get done and ohhh school has started even if people aren't in classes. Tuesday will be my last day when I can sleep at 2 and wake at 10 and get away with it. Yup. Had to wake up at 7:30 from Thursday-Today and will be getting up at 6 am on Monday for more school stuff. *throws hands up* OH WELL. I had a pretty good summer so all this ending is okay, sorta. 

Anyyyway, I am going to stop rambling! The rest of the month will be pretty usual I guess? Wrapping up Summer Blogger Promo Tour soon. I have an excited tag with a guest at the end of the month and two discussion posts will be going out very soon! Been wanting to do more of those so I am starting that this month. Reviews and more! Hope you guys look forward to it. (Okay at this point I have lost all point in try to end the post. So, let's just do it now to save past Kaitlin some trouble...)

So tell me: How has your month been?
