Read Last Week:
Between Shades of Gray by Ruta Sepetys: Wow, what an emotional book for me. I really enjoyed it, it was very well done. Review to be posted soon.
Days of Blood and Starlight by Laini Taylor: This book was very good as well, in a totally different way. It was a more somber book than the first in the series. Review to be posted soon.
Reading this Week:
I will not read all of these this week, its a busy one, but this is the pile I will be choosing from. We shall see what wins.

Anyone but You by Jennifer Crusie: I need a cheery fun book after Between Shades of Gray. I think this one will fit the bill!
The Drowning House by Elizabeth Black: I just loved this cover.
Once Upon a River by Bonnie Jo Campbell: This is my "Blind Date with a Book" book from the library. And bonus, the author is a Michigander!

ReplyDeleteHere is mine
Between Shades of Gray? It was amazing!!
DeleteI thought Between Shades of Gray was a stellar read. I look forward to Days of Blood & Starlight. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteI am really enjoying the Laini Taylor series. I wish however, that I didn't have to wait so long for the next book!
DeleteAnd Shades of Gray- stellar is a great word to describe it.
Between Shades of Gray...so so good! I'm glad you liked it :) You have an awesome blind date book coming up too! I hope you end up enjoying it. I did!
ReplyDeleteI am glad to hear that about my blind date! Lol. I was actually not sure what to expect. And Between Shades of Gray was so so good for sure.
DeleteAnyone but you, The Drowning House and Once Upon a River all caught my eye. They look intriguing.
ReplyDeleteI am excited to begin reading one! I can't put down this book I own however, that I have read a million times before. :(
DeleteAww love the cover of Anyone But You! So glad you loved Between Shades of Gray, makes me want to push it up my list. Enjoy your reads this week :)
ReplyDeleteI know so cuties! I love Basset with their big old eyes. Between Shades of Gray was so good.
DeleteOh man, I loved Between Shades of Gray. What an amazing story.
ReplyDeleteIt really was.
DeleteEnjoy your reading! They all look awesome :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! Have a great week too!
DeleteI've enjoyed quite a few Jennifer Crusie books - - especially her recent novels. Good writer. I'm also interested in the Lainie Taylor novels, they look good.
ReplyDeletehave a great week, Rabid Reader
I really like Crusie too. I love her heroines, they are always so smart and funny. I loved the Laini Taylor books!
DeleteHave you read Welcome To Temptation? I think that is one of my favorites of hers, even with the high sexin' up content (which I am kind of over reading about, all the time). The whole thing, the lusting, the suspicion, the characters, it all worked very well in one very fun to read novel. She's good like that, though. What other authors would write and irritate me, she can write and I'll enjoy it. ;)
DeleteI have! It's one of my favorites. A lot of the time, especially if I have read the book before, I just skim over those parts. Lol. I agree, the whole book was set up very well - I love the books about the Dempsey family. I love her dialogue, and how her heroines are never the "ideal". :)
DeleteI'd like to read Between Shades of Gray, but thanks for the head's up that it's not a super happy book. Still, you make it sound good.
ReplyDeleteIt was so good! It did have its moments, but it was also a book about hope and love. :)
