Each week we answer the following three questions:
-What have you recently finished reading?
-What are you currently reading?
-What are you reading next?
Last night I finished reading Children of Blood and Bone by Tomi Adeyemi. It was pretty great, solid 4 stars, and I can’t wait to read the sequel. There were a few slow moments and admittedly a few eye rolls but overall it was really good.
After I finished CoBaB, I started reading LIFEL1K3 by Jay Kristoff which was just released in the US! This book was one of my most anticipated reads of 2018 and so far it is living up to my expectations! Jay Kristoff is one of my absolute favorite authors so I’m really glad that this book is no exception so far.
I anticipate finishing LIFEL1K3 either later today or tomorrow so I will be starting off fresh on Friday for the start of 20 Books of Summer! I honestly don’t know which of the books I am going to pick first. I may already have to change up one of my genre TBRs since I just found out I will be getting a review copy of a book that is #3 in a series – Six Tudor Queens series by Alison Weir – that I own the first two books but haven’t read. Technically they could be read out of order but I generally like to stick with the order of things, even when it’s not absolutely necessary. On Friday I’ll be posting an updated TBR for the start of the challenge.
What have you been reading lately?
I am finally making more progress on The Plantagenet and Tudor novels series by Philippa Gregory. Years ago I had read The Other Boleyn Girl back when the movie with Natalie Portman and Scarlett Johansson was coming out but I never really got around to reading the rest of the series even though I live for Tudor history. I just finished book 3 in the series, The Red Queen, which is from Margaret Beaufort’s POV. I thought it was really well written and definitely kept me intrigued from the very beginning.
I also finished A Court of Frost and Starlight by Sarah J. Maas. I had been looking forward to this one for ages. It is one of my favorite series so I’m glad when it didn’t end with ACOWAR last year. Really looking forward to reading the new novels as they are published. What really surprised me about this book was the range of emotion. It is a really short book, technically a novella, so it was really refreshing to feel such a wide range of emotions while reading it. There were sad moments, anger, and so many bust-out-laughing moments. I love the inner circle and their camaraderie so much!
Currently I am reading I’ll Be Gone In The Dark by Michelle McNamara. I had been DYING to read this book ever since I heard about it. I really love reading books in the true crime genre and lately with all of the publicity about this killer finally being caught, I just needed to get a copy ASAP. It’s really sad though that the author passed away in 2016 and wasn’t able to see all of her hard work pay off in helping direct information towards catching this killer. I started reading it last night and had to stop… My hubby went to bed early and requested that I use my booklight to read but it was just too creepy so I ended up putting the book down haha. This killer preyed on couples late at night in their beds so I was done for the night. It is really interesting so far though!
Up next I am planning on choosing between these two books. After reading I’ll Be Gone In The Dark, I may need something light and contemporary so I would go with Leah On The Offbeat by Becky Albertalli. If I don’t need something lighter I may end up choosing Circe by Madeline Miller. We shall see!
