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.
Happy Memorial Day! I plan to spend the day reading and relaxing. What about you?
Here is what I read last week.
The end is in sight for this school year. Because of the huge number of snow days we had this year, we still have eight days with students and then three teacher work days but, then, I will be heading off to my summer home for some reading and relaxing.
I'll have a couple of vacation weeks before returning here to pick up a friend and head off to my first ALA. Since I'm not an ALA member and mostly interested in connecting with publishers, I just bought an Exhibit Hall pass.
I am excited about the trip for a number of reasons. I haven't ever attended an ALA or been to Chicago. We are still trying to decide if we want to go a couple of days early and do "touristy" stuff or just go for the weekend. What are some "must sees"?
Have a great week, everyone. Leave me a link to your Monday Report so that I can see what you did.
Happy Memorial Day! I plan to spend the day reading and relaxing. What about you?
Here is what I read last week.
I finally got a chance to read Dead Ever After by Charlaine Harris. I was pleased with this conclusion to the long-running Sookie Stackhouse series. You can see my review on June 1.
I also read The Spanish Revenge by Allan Topol which had been sitting on my Review Stack for months. I was less satisfied with this thriller because of the cardboard characters and obvious political agenda. You can see my review on May 30.
The two YA books I read this week were also from my review stack and both were amazing books in their own unique ways.
Dare You To by Katie McGarry was a contemporary romance that matched two unlikely characters. The story was packed with emotion and long-buried secrets. My review will be posted on May 30.
Siege and Storm by Leigh Bardugo is the middle book in the Grisha trilogy which is an epic fantasy. I loved the main character and empathized with the difficult decisions she had to make. My review will be posted on June 1.
Since I am writing this late Sunday morning and I just finished Siege and Storm, I haven't started my next book yet. Here is what is on the stack for this week:Aberration by Lisa Regan is a thriller that was sent to me for review by the author. It was released on May 16 and is my last adult review book until August.
Mortal Fire by Elizabeth Knox is a review book sent from Macmillan. This YA paranormal will be released on June 11.
I am finally going to be able to read a few books from my adult TBR mountain. These two have been sitting on my entertainment center for quite a while waiting for their opening.
Cold Fire by Kate Elliott is the second book in a fantasy series. The third book is coming out soon.
Wolf with Benefits by Shelly Laurenston is a paranormal with shifters. It is also part of series of related books. I really enjoy Laurenston's quirky characters and humor.
These two June 11 releases are also sitting on the YA Review stack.
The Girl Who Was Supposed to Die by April Henry came from Macmillan and is a mystery.
Far Far Away by Tom McNeal was a surprise in my mailbox and is a fantasy.
