It's Monday, What Are You Reading? (63)

It’s Monday! What Are You Reading?, is a bookish meme hosted by One Person's Journey Through a World of Books, where we gather to share what we have read this past week and what we plan to read this week. It’s a great way to network with other bloggers, see some wonderful blogs, and put new titles on your reading list. So hop on over to Journey and join in...and leave a comment here so I can check out what you are reading.

Books I Read Last Week:

• A Short Walk in the Hindu Kush by Eric Newbie

This book was a serious improvement on Full Tilt...but it still wasn't my favourite book. I think I would've enjoyed it more had I never read Full Tilt...that book may have swayed me on travel literature in the wrong direction, but A Short Walk... was definitely better than Full Tilt. It was funny, and I liked that Eric Newby didn't take himself too seriously. He saw the humour in his situation, maybe he even played it up a bit, but I enjoyed that he tried to actually entertain the reader rather than bore them with details. :P

• Everneath (Everneath #1) by Brodi Ashton

Loved Everneath! :D I wasn't sure at first because Nikki didn't really jump out at me as a narrator at first, but I really enjoyed her story...and the boys, wowza does this book ever have some amazing boys. :P Hopefully I'll have my review up tomorrow for this one. It was my January read for the Debut Author Challenge, and it was a great pick. I definitely recommend it. :D

Reading Now:

•  Caleb Williams by William Godwin
  

Little over halfway through this one now, and I'm finally at the point where it's stuff we haven't covered in class...hurrah! haha Hopefully I'll finish it soon. I kind of want to just be done so I can move onto the next book for my British Lit class, Zofloya. This one isn't terrible, but Godwin definitely has a tendency to ramble on and use big words for no real reason...kind of makes him seem a bit ostentatious....that word was just for you Godwin. :P An interesting sidenote is that Godwin was Mary Shelley(the author of Frankenstein)'s father and her mother was Mary Wollstonecraft, a feminist and philosopher at the time. Kind of cool. :)

• Stealing Heaven by Elizabeth Scott

Just started this one, and it seems like a nice quick and enjoyable story....Elizabeth Scott's book usually are, so not too surprising. :P

• Fallen in Love (Fallen #3.5) by Lauren Kate

Just read the first chunk of this one, and I like it so far. Can't wait to read some more. :) Trying to finish Caleb Williams first though. :P

Books I Want to Read This Week:

• Zofloya by Charlotte Darce

As I mentioned before, this is the next book I have to read for my Brit Lit class, and it sounds interesting. My prof described it as a Gothic Soap Opera...and that definitely intrigues me. :P

• Touching the Void by Joe Simpson

Haven't started this one yet, but I need to finish it soon, so if I have to I'll finish this one before CW. :P I peaked through it though and thankfully it seems like a pretty quick story. :)
