It's Monday! What Are You Reading?

Hello, Monday!


This week, I've been a reading machine!  Here's what I read...

64.  Between Sea & Sky by Jaclyn Dolamore (finished 4/17) Romance involving mermaids and angels.  A decent read.
65.  Why We Broke Up by Daniel Handler (finished 4/20) Great artwork, interesting story that tells exactly why Min & Ed broke up.
66.  Lie by Caroline Bock (finished 4/22) Intense novel centered around feelings about illegal immigration.
67.  Isle of Blood by Rick Yancey (finished 4/27) Third in The Monstrumologist series.  Gory and compelling.
68.  Witchlanders by Lena Coakley (finished 4/28) Great fantasy!  Pick this one up.
68.  Burnout by Adrienne Maria Vrettos (finished 4/29) Another intense read about a girl who has lost a day and is desperate to find out what happened.

Coming up I have to:
  • finish reading Wither by Lauren DeStefano
  • read Pink by Lili Wilkinson
  • read Entwined by Heather Dixon
  • go to the launch party for Insurgent by Veronica Roth, get my book signed, and of course read it!
I can't tell you how excited I am for Insurgent!  I've been waiting for a year, and my daughter (who just read Divergent and will be going with me to get her own copy of Insurgent signed) and I plan to read Insurgent together next weekend.  From what I've seen on Twitter this week, those who got advance copies have been loving it.

  2. I love that you are reading a new book with your daughter. You will be able to read and reflect as you read and share something special.

  3. I'm trying to boost my YA reading and the Veronica Roth books seem like great ones to add to that pile. Thanks!

  4. You are a reading machine- I am impressed!
    I'm also glad you liked Isle of Blood- I love The Monstrumologist series (though I still need to read the 3rd).
    I actually just got Bitterblue and Insurgent in the mail today- I hope I get ahead of THE reading so I can read them soon.

    Happy reading this week!
