It’s Monday! What Are You Reading, is where we gather to share what we have read this past week and what we plan to read this week. It is a great way to network with other bloggers, see some wonderful blogs, and put new titles on your reading list.
I have had a quiet week. It looks like I am starting to get out of my reading slump. I have read quite a few really good books this week.
Last Week I Read:
The Perfect Play by Jaci Burton was a hot and sexy sports romance. Football quarterback meets events planner and sparks fly. Really enjoyable. My review will be posted on April 19.
The Vampire Narcise by Colleen Gleason is the third in her Regency Vampires series. I had this one from Harlequin via NetGalley. It comes out in May but I wanted to read it since I read and enjoyed books 1 and 2. My review will be posted on April 21.
Enclave by Ann Aguirre was an ARC I received for review. This is a young adult dystopia and was also a very enjoyable story. It was less dark than a lot of the dystopias I have been reading lately. My review is here.
Hex, A Witch and Angel Tale by Ramona Wray was also a good story. It is a YA paranormal romance with the typical love triangle. It was sent to me by the author for review. My review will be posted on April 21.
Griffin Rising by Darby Karchut was also sent to me by the author. It is my favorite book of the week. Griffin is and apprentice Terrae Angeli (we call them guardian angels). I liked his character and I liked the mythology. The print book will be out in June but the ebook is available now. My review will be posted on April 23.
Currently Reading:
Favorite by Karen McQuestion -- This is one of the books I got from Amazon as part of the Amazon Vine program. I am enjoying this Middle Grade/YA mystery.

I hope to have some reading time this week but there are no guarantees. I am leaving after school on Monday with 8 of my colleagues for what my principal describes as "an exciting, all-expense paid trip to Iowa." We are going to be visiting a school near Des Moines which has a 1:1 laptop program in place for grades 6 - 12. The next day we will be attending a 1:1 laptop conference in Des Moines. We'll be arriving back home about 8:30 Wednesday night. Our school board has given the OK to buying NetBooks for all of our 10-12 grade students next year. We have to learn all about it and time is getting short.
What are your plans for the coming week?
