It's Monday! What are you reading? - August 29, 2011

Fallen, Torment, & Passion by Lauren Kate
- I'm still deciding how to write the reviews for these. I've got so many mixed emotions about them that if I tried to write them right now it would not make sense.

What I'm reading right now:

Entwined by Heather Dixon
- Very different concept than what I thought it was. :)

What's up next:

Hereafter by Tara Hudson
Legacy by Cayla Kluver

AND

In case you didn't sit through the ENTIRE VMA's last night, here's the teaser for The Hunger Games Movie as posted on Mockingjay.net. So, SO excited!

After writing your post, go to Sheila's blog and leave you post's link on the link entry form at the bottom of the What are you reading? post.

Another busy, busy week for me, but I still managed to get a little reading done. This weekend will be very hectic due to moving, but I should still be able to sneak some in. I've also got a couple of great posts about authors and signings in the next few days. Keep an eye for some wonderful names to appear on here!

What I've read this week:

Starcrossed by Josephine Angelini
-If you only have time for one book in a week, make this one of your options. I highly recommend this one to everyone. It is stunning!

What I am reading now:

Entwined by Heather Dixon - Different concept than what I thought it was going to be, really like it thus far.

Fallen by Lauren Kate - Second week on this one. It's on my Nook so I only get to read on it a little at a time while in waiting rooms, doing laundry, etc. I am more than half way through and should finish in today or tomorrow.

What's up next:

Hereafter by Tara Hudson
Ironside by Holly Black
Legacy by Cayla Kluver

So yeah, all in all it's been a great couple of weeks book-wise and I have a lot to look forward to.

ALSO:

Don't miss out on the chance to enter for a signed ARC of Forever by Maggie Stiefvater! My good friend, Marla @ Starting the Next Chapter, has hers up for grabs for one lucky reader!

I've finally got started back in motion this week. I feel so much better now that I'm able to get back into my TBR pile. I was originally trying to go through some books that I owned, but I felt it would be better for me to read the ones that I borrowed so I could get those back to my friend.

Here's what I finished this last week and a half:

Hex Hall (review) and Demonglass (review) by Rachel Hawkins

Loved this series, I am so glad I took the recommendations from friends. Spell Bound's cover was released the other day and I literally giggled with happiness.

The Iron Knight by Julie Kagawa
Forever by Maggie Stiefvater

The Iron Knight is my first NetGalley and Forever is also the ARC version loaned to me by a friend. Both books wrapped up two of my favorite series that I had been following for a couple of years. It is sad they came to an end, but what endings they were!

What I am diggin' into right now:

Starcrossed by Josephine Angelini - Cracking this one open today!
Fallen by Lauren Kate - A little ways in and really liking it so far.

Next up on the list:

Hereafter by Tara Hudson
Entwined by Heather Dixon
Torment by Lauren Kate

Once I get these read I will be about where I want to be on my TBR list for now. Classes start back soon and that's going to make it more difficult to "read for me" again unfortunately.

I should have the review for Forever up in the next day or two because I have a related post on Thursday. I can't wait to share that news with you! As for The Iron Knight, well, you'll have to wait a little while longer on that review. Trust me, it's worth it!

I managed to get a little more accomplished this week. As always, it is never as much as I'd like! I'm still trudging through and I think I may just have convinced another bookie that she needs a Nook....We'll see, but I'm pretty sure I can get her addicted to it as well. :)

Anndddd....Here's what I got to read this week:

The Forest of Hands and Teeth by Carrie Ryan - Review
Halo by Alexandra Adornetto - Review
Leviathan by Scott Westerfeld - Review

What I'm diggin' in now:

Uglies by Scott Westerfeld
Hex Hall by Rachel Hawkins

What's up next on the list:

Forever by Maggie Stiefvater
Starcrossed by Josephine Angelini
Spellbound by Cara Lynn Shultz

Now, honestly, who in their right mind would complain about a line up like that for the week?!? Heh, it's sure not gonna be me! LOL I have a feeling this is going to be a great week book wise....just maybe. If not, it probably be safe to say that the problem would be me... I'll pop the reviews and all that fun stuff up ASAP after finishing them. It's going to be epic!

Happy reading, friends!

It's Monday! What are you reading? June 20, 2011

Firelight by Sophie Jordan
The Twisted Thread by Charlotte Bacon

What I'm in the middle of:

The Forest of Hands and Teeth by Carrie Ryan
Halo by Alexandra Adornetto

It's taking me longer than usual to finish these, but it has nothing to the books themselves. They're both good books, but with holidays and work this week it's been difficult to get them wrapped up. I should be able to finish them in the next day or so, so start looking for my reviews!

What's up next:

Leviathan by Scott Westerfeld
Uglies by Scott Westerfeld
Hex Hall by Rachel Hawkins

All three of these are series I absolutely cannot wait to dig into!

Happy reading, friends!

This has been an exhausting week for me. My husband had a death in the family that resulted in a road trip with us and my in-laws that felt probably twice as long than it actually was. On a positive note, I got a lot of reading in those few days. Once we got home I started working on this blog, so I've not read that much since then. That should change this week though since I have it up and running.
