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 had a good reading week. I am slowly lowering my stack of books for review. All of the books on my list are May 2011 releases.
Last Week I Finished:
Ruby Red by Kerstin Gier was a great beginning to a young adult time travel series. My review will be posted on May 16.
No Place Like Holmes by Jason Lethcoe is a young adult/middle grade historical mystery about a young boy and his uncle who happen to live in the same building as Sherlock Holmes. It was a fun adventure with fantastic inventions and even a sea monster. My review will be posted on May 18.
Dreamland Social Club by Tara Altebrando was a young adult contemporary about a girl coming to Coney Island to learn about the mother who died when she was six and to learn about herself too. My review will be posted on May 21.
Creed's Honor by Linda Lael Miller is a contemporary, western romance. It is the second in a trilogy. It features modern day cowboys and an extremely cute dog named Valentino. My review will be posted on May 18.
The Dark City #1 (Relic Master) by Catherine Fisher is a young adult epic fantasy. I thought the world building was very good. I also thought the adventure and the magic were well done. I have already added the next three books to my Amazon wishlist as they will come out in June, July, and August. My review will be posted on May 23.
The Wedding of the Century & Other Stories by Mary Jo Putney, Kristin James, and Charlotte Featherstone is an anthology with three historical romances. All of them were very well done. I love Putney's work but wasn't familiar with the other two authors. Now I have two more authors to look for when I'm looking for historical romances. My review will be posted on May 25.
I am currently reading:
Mercy by Rebecca Lim. This is a young adult book that is about a fallen angel. "The first in a dazzling new series, Mercy masterfully weaves romance, mystery and the supernatural into a spell-binding tale." I like the concept of this one and hope the execution matches it.
Next Week:
I still have a few review books on my stack and Kindle.
Awaken by Katie Kacvinsky
Angel Burn by L. A. Weatherly
Blood Magic by Tessa Gratton
The Girl in the Steel Corset by Kady Cross
Blood Read Road by Monica Young
Trace of Fever by Lori Foster
Those are the books on my list. What are your plans for the week?
