Well, it is finally autumn here in Europe and that means lots of curling up with novels and tea while watching the leaves fall. Here's what I've been snuggled up with since I last checked in...
Currently reading:
- Pure by Julianna Baggott - This book is amazing. Insanely amazing. Amazingly amazing. It's terrifying and thought-provoking and just utter genius. I can't wait for everyone to read it!
- The Two Towers: Book 3 by J.R.R. Tolkien - I finished the first book in Two Towers, and have decided to set it aside for now. I feel like taking a bit of a break before starting on Frodo and Sam's journey.
- The Eternal Ones by Kirsten Miller - Although this started out rather strong, it ended in a flaming pit of epic terrible. God, this book was just atrocious. I have a lump from all the times I banged the book to my head in complete disbelief. Couldn't have made this stuff up...
Reviewed:
- Academy 7 by Anne Osterlund
- A Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin
- Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor
Interesting list. Although I can't get into JRR Tolkiens books.
ReplyDeleteVery diverse! I love it!
ReplyDeleteI want to read Daughter of Smoke and Bone. I have heard great things.

Lisa's World of Books, It's Monday What Are You Reading?
I just want to hug you for your comments about The Eternal Ones - I felt exactly the same way but really felt as though I was the only one who thought that. It was just horrible. I wanted to like it so much, but, ugh.
ReplyDeleteHappy Reading!
Megan @ Read It, See It
Looks like you weren't too happy with the books last week - hope this week is better!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the Eternal Ones. I hope you do too. :)

I haven't read anything by JRR Tolkien either, but did see one of his movies.
ReplyDeleteStop by my It's Monday post if you get a chance.
I read Tolkien's Ring Trilogy in college (many, many years ago!), and really enjoyed it. The movies are fun, too -- a nice visual interpretation. Happy reading this week!
ReplyDeleteTolkien is a bit dense. I really enjoyed it though.
ReplyDeletePure sounds very interesting. Shall have to put it on my list for when it gets published.
