This Week I am Reading:
Touch of Power by Maria V. Snyder - New Maria Snyder! I was so excited that I was accepted for this from NetGalley. I am even not minding the fact it is a .pdf file because I wanted to read it so bad. It reminds me a lot more of her first trilogy, The Study Trilogy, and that is awesome. I am hoping it continues and it will probably bring me out of my reading slump if the beginning is any indication.
Deja Dead by Kathy Reichs - I have been really enjoying the television show Bones, so I thought I would see what the books were all about. They are very different, though! Brennan is older, has a child, etc. It is cool that the book takes place in Quebec.
Sundays at Tiffany's by James Patterson - I was left waiting around the other day and this book was available, so I started it. It's nothing amazing, but it isn't terrible either. I will probably finish it up this weekend...
The Name of the Star by Maureen Johnson - Yeah, I did start this at another moment of waiting around for someone. I had my library books in my car and I have heard good things about this book. I will get back to it eventually, but I have too much on the go at the moment.
Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet by Jamie Ford - Another book I have been meaning to read forever, started, and still haven't even got back to reading it yet. It seems to be my reading month. I start things, but then don't really get back to them. I still have only read 3 books this month, so I really should finish a couple other things.
On-Going Reading:
I had no idea Kathy Reichs set her books in Quebec. I just Googled her, and it looks like she's from Montreal herself. How awesome! This makes me want to read some of her stuff in the near future.
ReplyDeleteI've heard a lot of good things about The Name of the Star as well...it's on my WishList :)
ReplyDeleteWe are alike in that we read many books at once. We are different in that you actually manage to finish them in reasonable amounts of time. :P
ReplyDeleteI have been wanting to read Kathy Reichs, but I am in the middle of so many series right now....grrr.HAve also been wanting to read Grimm's Fairy Tales. One day I wil...
ReplyDelete**Memory: I had no idea she was Canadian. I was surprised when the book was set in Canada after how Americanized the show is...
ReplyDelete**Peppermint: I am looking forward to The Name of the Star.
**Debi: I read way too many books at once lately and not really finishing any of them...
**Starr: I really should have started the Kathy Reichs series, but I was curious.
I will add Touch of Power to my list! Thanks.
ReplyDeleteHotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet was a favorite read of mine last year. I hope you can get back into it soon, as I do think you'll be glad you did.
ReplyDelete**Charlotte: Hopefully it continues to be good.
ReplyDelete**TheBookGirl: It is a book I would normally like, so I do hope to get back to it soon.
