It's Monday, What Are You Reading?

It's Monday, What Are You Reading is a weekly blog meme hosted by Sheila at Book Journey where you list the books you read last week and the ones you hope to read this week.

Read Last Week:

Stiltsville by Susanna Daniel:  I stopped reading the book around page 200 or so.  I was completely bored and felt like I only made it that far because I couldn't believe that nothing was happening in the book.  It was like being on a very long phone conversation with someone you didn't want to talk to as they filled you in on every detail of their everyday life.  Two things I learned that were cool from the book though however- Stiltsville really did exist, and that oranges explode when orange groves freeze.  I am sure that this is a good book, it is just not one for me.

Arcadia Falls by Carol Goodman:  As always, I felt Carol Goodman delivered a fantastic book.  I fell right into this isolated world of academia, with its rituals and traditions and secrets.  

Phantom Evil by Heather Graham:  I liked this book, it was an easy fun read.  There were some aspects of the book I thought lacked a little, but for the most part I enjoyed it.  I am about to read the second in this series for netGalley, and I am interested to compare the two.

Vixen by Jillian Larkin:  This is our book club book for July.  I did enjoy this book, although every so often the reader is reminded that the characters are only 17 years old, and that was hard for me to wrap my head around.  Since this is a book club book, I won't post my review on it until after we meet.  

Currently Reading:

Smokin' Seventeen by Janet Evanovich:  So excited to read this one! I won this in a giveaway hosted by Book Belle - if you haven't visited her blog, check it out.  She has well written reviews on a variety of books! 

Honolulu by Alan Brennert:  I recently read Molokai and loved it - I have hopes that I enjoy this one just as much.  

Shem Creek by Dorothea Benton Frank:  I am a sucker for a book set in the Lowcountry!
