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:
Last week was a rough week for our family, and I did not get a chance to write my reviews. I will be working doubly hard this week to catch up. :)
City of Glass by Cassandra Clare: This is maybe my favorite in the series so far. It might even be where I stop reading; I started City of Fallen Angels and I hate it. Jace is so mopey and Clary really wimpy all of a sudden. But I really liked City of Glass.
Into the Darkest Corner by Elizabeth Haynes: My friend Chrissy gave me this to read, and I could not put it down! I stopped reading at 2 am one night, and I couldn't fall asleep because this book freaked me out so bad. But I love being scared like that. This book was fabulous.
Royal Street by Suzanne Johnson: An urban fantasy that takes place in New Orleans during and after Hurricane Katrina. Chilling to think that another hurricane might strike New Orleans on the exact same day as Katrina, or even close to it.
Love Letters from Ladybug Farm by Donna Ball: These books continue to be graceful easy reads.
Reading This Week:
My plan this week is to work on my pile of books I have won or have committed to review through NetGalley or Librarything.
The Sisters Montclair by Cathy Holton: I started this last night and I love it! Today is a rainy day, the perfect kind to finish a book. I won the book from librarything.
The White Forest by Adam McOmber: From Netgalley. I love to read anything gothic, and when I saw this on a few other blogs last week I knew I had to read it too.
The Language of Flowers by Vanessa Diffenbaugh: I won this from Librarything as well. It looks pretty good.
Into the Pumpkin by Linda Franklin: I work in a school library, and our students love Halloween books. They ask about them their first day of library circulation, so I have to get them out the first month of school. We are always looking for more fall and halloween books, and this one looked like it had amazing illustrations. A NetGalley book.
I hope you all have a great week!
The Language of Flowers looks fascinating! Looking forward to your review. Re: Halloween books, my kids are already clamoring for them! Have you seen this one? http://www.amazon.com/Vunce-Upon-Time-J-otto-Seibold/dp/B0032FO6KA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1346075674&sr=8-1&keywords=vunce+upon+a+time
ReplyDeleteI haven't! That book looks so cute Jen! I will have to pick it up for the library. Thanks!
DeleteHere's my suggestion: I'd pick Flowers next. It is fabulous!
ReplyDeleteSorry last week was rough. Let's hope this week is better for you and your family.
Thanks Nance~ :)
DeleteI started Flowers as you suggested and I love it so far!! I also had dreams last night about the flowers in my yard and what they mean. :)
I just signed up for a "FrightFall" read-a-thon and added something gothic to my TBR list (The White Forest looks good!). I wasn't one of those Halloween-book-loving students when I was a kid. Nope, not at all. ;)
ReplyDeleteOoo what is this FrightFall you speak of? Sounds wonderful!! I was always into the scary books too. ;)
DeleteThe White Forest looks really good. I usually read spooky books throughout October, but that cover has me ready to start early! Enjoy your week! I hope it's better for you!
ReplyDeleteI like to amp up my scary book reading in October for sure, but I love being all creeped out! The only scary thing I stay away from is possession stuff, it freaks me out too much!!
DeleteYou have some really good books coming up :) The Language of Flowers was fantastic, I hope you enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week of reading!
