It's Monday! What are you reading this week? is a weekly event now hosted by One Persons Journey Through a World Of Books where we discuss our week of reading!Currently Reading:
- Seven Sorcerers by Caro King - This is very much a middle-grade book, but WOW is it great! Wonderful mixture of realism and crazy fantasy - with some excellent illustrations to boot!
Finished this Week:
- Graceling by Kristin Cashore - AMAZING! Seriously. Even if high fantasy isn't your thing - please read this book!
- Some Girls Bite by Chloe Neill - Loved it! Will no doubt end up writing a long-winded explanation about why I love the male lead, despite him being a complete douche.
Books I DNF:
- Nearly Departed by Rook Hasting - Starting out the book with a character who abuses his staffie that he bought for dog fighting? Not great. But even skipping that chapter, I just couldn't enjoy this book. Alas.
- Betrayals by Lili St. Crow - Lili St. Crow can write depressed teenagers like none other!
- The Line by Teri Hall - Disappointing debut novel. But I will still be reading the sequel.
Up next on the TBR pile:
- Blood Soup by Kelly A. Harmon - Creepy name and a creepy cover - this novella looks like it is going to be fun!
I have nevi heard of any of these. My post is up in Inklings.
ReplyDeleteI love the cover for Seven Sorcerers and it sounds like you recommend it :)
ReplyDeleteBetrayals looks like it could be really good! Can't wait to see what you think!
ReplyDeleteHave a fantastic reading week and if you get a chance, stop by: Monday Reading's at There's A Book
I liked Graceling. It is too bad you were disappointed with The Line. I have heard other complaints about it too. I will have to check out your review. It is one I have on my TBR list.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!
I loved Graceling, but have yet to read Fire. I have Seven Sorcerers on my TBR pile as one of my students recommended it to me. I am glad you like it so far. You certainly have an eclectic range of interesting books.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your reading week!
Seven Sorcerers looks wonderful - first time seeing this one!
