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!
I didn't get much reading done this week but I did try! I am still behind on reviews but hopefully I'll get caught up this week. I have the day off on Friday so I might devote some time to that.
Favorite book I read this week: Raised by Wolves by Jennifer Lynn Barnes
Books finished:
Kat, Incorrigible by Stephanie Burgis
This was a cute middle grade book with a spunky young heroine, magic, humor and it's set in Regency England. My review will be up later this week.
Raised by Wolves by Jennifer Lynn Barnes
I've read some mixed reviews of this one but I really liked this take on the werewolf myth and the pack dynamics. I can't wait to read the sequel, Trial By Fire.
Books reviewed:
Ten Miles Past Normal by Frances O'Roark Dowell
One of my favorite books of the year so far. A fantastic YA coming-of-age tale.

Currently reading:
The Vespertine by Saundra Mitchell
I'm reading an e-ARC of this for NetGalley which means I can only read it on my laptop. I will hopefully finish it before the time runs out!
What I plan to read next:
Skipping a Beat by Sarah Pekkanen
I loved The Opposite of Me so I am hopeful that I will love this one too. I like that this book is about a married couple and the ups and downs of married life.
Tyger Tyger by Kersten Hamilton
I've read some rave reviews of Tyger Tyger so I am looking forward to finally starting this one.
Silent in the Sanctuary by Deanna Raybourn
Silent in the Grave was a fantastic historical mystery and I hope this sequel will live up to it.
Babe in Boyland by Jody Gehrman
This sounds like a fun retelling of Twelfth Night. The premise reminds me a lot of the Amanda Bynes movie She's The Man, which I thought was really cute.
What does your reading week look like?
You had a really good reading week! I have read and enjoyed most of the books you list. I'll have to add Babes in Boyland to my Media Center order. I think some of my students would love it. I really want to read Silent in the Grave but the stack of books I need to review is just too high right now. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteHave a great reading week. I looked Raised by Wolves over at the library, but did not bring it home. The Lady Julia Gray series is great.
ReplyDeleteI really need to get started on the Lady Julia Gray series. I've heard lots of good things about it! Glad you liked Kat, Incorrigible too. Pemberley Ranch sounds intriguing. I'll be looking for your review of it!
ReplyDeleteI loved The Vespertine ( I love historical) I hope you like it, aww I wish you didn't have to read it on your laptops tho :(
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by!
You will love Skipping A Beat! I know it :) I loved it more than Opposite Of Me.
ReplyDeleteI think Kat,Incorrigible looks great too!
I can't wait to (eventually) read Ten Miles Past Normal! It's getting a lot of hype, I noticed. I've read her other book, The Secret Language of Girls, and didn't like it as much but hopefully this one will be better.
ReplyDeleteYou had such a good week! Here's how mine went:

ReplyDeletePemberley Ranch sounds really interesting!
ReplyDeleteSilent in the Sanctuary is pretty good too - I have a hard time deciding if I like it better than Silent in the Grave or not. I love Lady Julia :)
The Vespertine is sitting on my Kindle...I need to read it soon too!
You've had a great week reading-wise, from the looks of it. :) I'm really looking forward to reading The Vespertine and Tyger, Tyger. Here is my contribution to It's Monday: Starting the Next Chapter I hope you have a great week!
ReplyDeleteA tween regency?
ReplyDeleteI'm on Spring Break. Will I find the balance between reading for fun and reading for my project? Come see .
I really enjoyed your review on Miles from Ordinary and Pemberly Ranch. I will be looking forward to your review of Vespertine, which is a book I am hoping to read someday. Have a great week and enjoy all your books!
ReplyDeleteCoincidence! I just saw a review of Ten Miles Past Normal at http://irisonbooks.wordpress.com
ReplyDeleteLooks like an interesting book.
Have fun this week.
Tyger Tyger and Raised by Wolves were both awesome! I'm planning to read Vespertine this week too. Happy reading!
