It's Monday, What Are You Reading (72)

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 Girl in the Garden by Kamala Nair

The Girl in the Garden was such a beautifully written book. I really identified with Rakhee and liked unraveling the secrets surrounding the garden and her family's past.

The Throne of Fire by Rick Riordan

The Throne of Fire made me laugh out loud quite often and kept me entertained though it is a long book. Rick Riordan is certainly one of my favorite YA authors now. It is rather funny that if it wasn't for the Percy Jackson movie (which I was disappointed with), I wouldn't have read the books but if I'd watched the movie first, I probably would have skipped the books. Now I love all of his mythology-based books. I am currently trying to get my sister to give either this series or the Percy Jackson series a try. No success yet.

Books reviewed:

Divergent by Veronica Roth

The Girl in the Steel Corset by Kady Cross

Currently reading:

Forever by Maggie Stiefvater

Ugh. While this is not as disappointing as Breaking Dawn at least that series finale seemed to have better pacing. This is kind of plodding. I kind of don't care anymore what happens to Sam, Grace, and company. Maybe vampires need to move to Mercy Falls and liven things up. I will keep reading because it is for review but it won't be fun. Maybe things will get better if I keep reading... 

Always A Witch by Carolyn MacCullough

I liked Once a Witch when I read it in 2009 but it seems too long ago and I've forgotten what happened. Unfortunately there isn't much in the way of recap. I do own the first book so I may end up having to dig it out for a refresher.

What I might read next:

Eon by Alison Goodman

I loved this when I originally read it and I started rereading it a few months ago but put it aside to get to library and review books. Now I want to pick it up again so I can get to the sequel.

Eona by Alison Goodman

I read a review of this one last week and now I want to read it even more. I've had my copy since April but because I wanted to reread Eon first I have put off reading this. 

Overbite by Meg Cabot

I liked Insatiable though I did have some issues with Mina's romantic relationship. I kind of thought the guy was a jerk. I hope she has learned her lesson this time and look forward to reading about her new adventurous career.

Trial By Fire by Jennifer Lynn Barnes

I was surprised by how much I liked Raised By Wolves so I am excited to give this sequel a try. So far all the reviews I've read are positive. Bryn is a great character and I can't wait to read more about her.

That is what my reading plan looks like for the week.
