It's Monday, What Are You Reading? (June 13, 2011)

It's Monday, What Are You Reading? is a meme hosted by Sheila at Book Journey.

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'm all settled here at my summer home in Duluth and looking forward to getting a lot of reading done. The weather has been lovely but a little bit cool which makes it perfect for reading.


Last week I read:
The Summoning by Kelley Armstrong -- This is the first of her young adult Darkest Powers series. It introduces a girl who doesn't know she is a necromancer, a boy who is a sorcerer, and a boy who is a werewolf as the main characters. They are all sent to a group home because they have "mental problems." After some other kids at the home disappear and Chloe visits with a few ghosts, the kids decided to escape to look for the boys' father. Check my review here.

The Awakening by Kelley Armstrong -- This is the second book in the Darkest Powers series and concerns the kids' journey to find the boys' father with lots of danger and adventure along the way. Check my review here.
The Reckoning by Kelley Armstrong -- This one concludes the Darkest Powers trilogy. The kids have lots more adventures and deal with some unexpected betrayals before they finally manage to find the boys' father. My review will be posted today on Ms. Martin Teaches Media.

After Midnight by Lynn Viehl -- This is Viehl's young adult debut novel. It is a paranormal concerning vampires and vampire hunters and features star-crossed lovers. The characters were well drawn and the story was entertaining. My review will be posted on June 18.
Kiss of Snow by Nalini Singh -- This latest in the Psy-Changeling series features the long-anticipated romance between Sienna and Hawke. The war between the Psy is also heating up and involving the various shifter clans near San Francisco. Check out my review here.

Magic Slays by Ilona Andrews -- This is the latest in the Kate Daniels series. Kate and Curran are mated and Kate has set up her own detective agency. She gets a case to track down a missing inventor who has created a doomsday machine. It eats magic and kills anyone with even a touch of magic. Check out my review here
The Twisted Thread by Charlotte Bacon -- I got this moody, complex mystery from Amazon Vine. I enjoyed the story with its depth of character development and lush descriptions. My review will be posted on June 16.

The Devil in Disguise by Stefanie Sloane -- This is an historical romance that I also got from Amazon Vine. While it didn't break any new ground, it was an entertaining and romantic read. My review is here

I am currently reading:
The Emperor of Nihon-ja by John Flanagan -- This is the 10th in the Ranger's Apprentice series and sees our characters taking off to the land of Nihon-ja to rescue Horace who had gotten himself involved in a rebellion. 

Next week:

I'll be choosing something from these. These are the baskets I brought home for the summer.

But don't despair for me. I won't run out of reading material. Amazon knows where I live. I think I have already gotten three packages in the 6 days I've been here.

What does your week look like?
