It's Monday, What Are You Reading (53)


It's Monday What Are You Reading? is a fun weekly meme hosted by Sheila at Book Journey. I always enjoy seeing what other people have read and reviewed over the past week. It is also a great way to find new books to add to that ever-growing TBR list!


Books finished:

The Dark and Hollow Places by Carrie Ryan

I thought this was a darker book than the previous two but a fitting end to the series.

Mad Love by Suzanne Selfors

This was a cute and humorous story with quirky characters, a fun book for Valentine's Day.

Sing You Home by Jodi Picoult

I am still not sure what to make of this latest book by Jodi Picoult. I just finished it and am processing my thoughts. I will hopefully have a review for next week.
 
Books reviewed:
 
Mad Love by Suzanne Selfors
Demonglass by Rachel Hawkins
 
Currently reading:
 
Silent in the Grave by Deanna Raybourn

I am really enjoying this book and wondering why I never picked it up before. I was expecting it to be a traditional romance but it is actually an interesting mystery with only a little bit of romance so far and some cheeky humor.
   
Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins

I've only just started this but I have a feeling it will be a favorite! I love the setting too :) I'm reading this one for review for Royal Reviews.

What I plan to read next:

 
The Winter Sea by Susanna Kearsley
 
I hope I get to read this one this week. It is overdue at the library. I know, how terrible for the librarian to have overdue books!

Madame Tussaud by Michelle Moran

I really hope I get to read this one this week. I loved Cleopatra's Daughter and I know that Michelle Moran brings a high level of historical detail as well as excellent character development to her books. This is a fascinating time period and Madame Tussaud was an interesting historical figure. I can't wait to find out more about her!

The Latte Rebellion by Sarah Jamila Stevenson

I probably won't get to The Latte Rebellion this week but I will definitely try. I have been wanting to read this for awhile too. So many books...

  3. I love love love the Lady Julia Grey series, I'm so glad you're enjoying it! To me, the romance is really secondary, it is more about the mystery and female empowerment :)

    Have a fabulous week!

  12. I look forward to reading your review about Sing you Home...it's on my tbr list and I can't wait to read it.

    I haven't read anything by Michelle Moran yet, but have both Madame Tussaud and Cleopatra's Daughter on my tbr list. Have you read A Royal Likeness by Christine Trent - it's about an apprentice that works for Madame Tussaud...excellent book!
