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.
So, just like my StS post, I totally skipped this one last week with the long weekend. :P So, these are the books I finished over the last two weeks. :)
Books I Read The Last 2 Weeks:
I actually didn't like this one as much as I thought I would. I expected the love to be more profound, but whenever the narrator, Cole, described his relationship with Julia it seemed to be more about the sex than anything. It was still a well told story, and focused a lot on grief, but I just didn't click with it like I thought I would.
I loved this one! :D I've had the egalley for a while, but was waiting until it was closer to the release for the blog tour...and now I wish I'd read it sooner because it was amazing! I'm really glad that I got the chance to read it. :)
I also loved this one. :D It was a novella, so a bit shorter, but I still managed to get caught up in Jem and Sean as I usually do! Now I really can't wait until Blue Moon's release! :D
- The Secret Year by Jennifer R. Hubbard
- Crux by Julie Reece
- Eternal (A Holloway Pack Story #0.5) by J.A. Belfield
I also loved this one. :D It was a novella, so a bit shorter, but I still managed to get caught up in Jem and Sean as I usually do! Now I really can't wait until Blue Moon's release! :D
- Promised (Birthmarked #3) by Caragh M. O'Brien
I pretty much shrieked out loud when this one showed up in my mailbox! :D I picked it up right away...and I absolutely loved it! :D It broke my heart at times, and made me seriously anxious for the characters, but overall, I was extremely happy with this one. :D
- The Future of Us by Jay Asher and Carolyn Mackler
I had a great book week because I loved this one too! :D I loved the references to the 90's and the little jokes that Emma and Josh didn't get, but we as the reader in the future did...and ultimately, I loved the characters. They were fantastic. :D
- Witch's Brew (The Spellspinners of Melas County #1) by Heidi R. Kling
Reading Now:
- Identical by Ellen Hopkins
This one is so intense, but I'm really enjoying it. Ellen Hopkins is amazing at verse, and even if the subject matter is intense, as it is in Identical, I can't help but appreciate the art form that her books are. I hope for Raeanne and Kaeleigh that this story somehow has a happy (or happy-ish) ending.
Books I Want to Read This Week:
- The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight by Jennifer E. Smith

You know I've never participated in this meme before, but I think I just might do this next Monday. :) Seems like a fun way to recap. :)
ReplyDeleteIt is a fun way to recap, and you can do it however you like. :) Not everyone talks about the books from their week, but I like to. I'll definitely check out your post if you do it next week too. :D
DeleteI so, so want to read The Future of Us! I adored 13 Reasons Why like no other and Jay Asher is a new favorite. I'm glad his second book held up to the hype.
ReplyDeleteI'm currently reading The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman and The Sin Collector by Jessica Fortunato. It's been a dark week, I guess. :P

It was amazing! :D So, I hope that you get the chance to read it soon, and that you love it! :D
DeleteOooh, I have The Graveyard Book, but I haven't gotten to it yet. I hope you're liking it. I haven't heard of The Sin Collector before now though. I'll have to check it out.
I liked the Future of Us - quirky and fun!
ReplyDeleteHappy reading this week :)
The Brunette Librarian Blog
Agreed! :)
DeleteThanks, the same to you. :)
Looks like you had an awesome week - and all the books sound amazing - so which one was your favorite ... kinda putting you on the spot :-)
ReplyDeleteI sure did! :D Hmmmm...I'm not sure if I could choose, but if I had to, I'd say that Promised was my favourite. It's also the conclusion to a series that I've been really anticipating. :D
DeleteLooks like you've had a lot of time for reading these past two weeks :) Your current reads look really good!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your books!
Check out what I'm reading this week :)

Not really. I just actually tried to make time this past couple weeks...I also sacrificed quite a few hours of sleep. :P Thanks. :)
DeleteWill do, thanks for commenting and leaving a link. :)
