Let's get rid of the Monday blahs (an actual illness) with another round of a Quick Bookish Survey! Participate by either leaving your answers or a link to your post in a comment. Have fun!
1. The book I’m currently reading: Please Ignore Vera Dietz by A.S. King - I'm enjoying this book on my brand new shiny Kindle! I'm also taking advantage of my library's wonderful ebook selection...I'd heard off and on about this particular book and decided to give it a try. It's SO good so far!
2. The last book I finished: What Happened to Goodbye by Sarah Dessen - I've been on a Sarah Dessen kick lately. This one was alright, not much different than any others by her, but cute nonetheless :)3. The next book I want to read: Crossed by Ally Condie - I've checked this out of the library and am prepared to read it while on my two week cruise (which I am actually on at the moment. Yay for scheduling posts!) I'M READY FOR THIS.
4. The last book I bought: Unearthly by Cynthia Hand and Her Highness, the Traitor by Susan Higginbotham - I heart cheap ebooks. Both of these are $2.99 each in the Kindle store right now...I couldn't resist!
5. The last book I was given: Wentworth Hall by Abby Grahame and The Queen of Last Hopes by Susan Higginbotham - these were both birthday gifts from fellow TB&TB bloggers Daisy and Kimberly! They must know how much I love historical fiction :) These are both packed away in my suitcase for my trip!
1. Beautiful Redemption by Garcia/Stohl: I'm so worried for Ethan! It's killing me that I don't have time to sit down & read this through.
ReplyDelete2. Keeper of the Lost Cities by Messenger: Really cute MG filled with action & adventure. Definitely recommend.
3. Iced by Moning: Just got this one from the library.
4. Days of Blood & Starlight by Taylor: Couldn't resist this one.
5. The Essence by Derting: From the lovely Sarah at

Lol. the Monday Blahs is totally an illness!
ReplyDeleteI just started reading The Mischief of the Mistletoe by Lauren Willig. I'm really excited to read this one. Jane Austen is in it, although not a main character.
I just finished Babe in Boyland by Jody Gehrman. I was disappointed in this one.
Since I just started Mistletoe, I'm not sure what I want to read next. Maybe The Sea of tranquility. I'm hearing amazing things about it.
Yesterday I bought The Diviners, Beauty Queens (by Libaa Bray) and Blackwood by Gwenda Bond yesterday at an author event. I got them signed!!!
Hope you Monday is going as well as possible.

What I just finished and what I'm reading now are on my own Monday post:
ReplyDeleteBook By Book
I think next I will read Time and Again by Jack Finney because it was a gift from LAST Christmas, and I really want to finish it before this Christmas!
I don't really buy books for myself anymore because I have such overflowing TBR shelves (and the library), but I love getting books as gifts. For my birthday in July, my husband got me Dragonfly in Amber by Diana Gabaldon, but I haven't had time to read it yet because it's so long. Seeing a trend here? ha ha yes, I am always behind!
Enjoy your books this week -
