It’s Monday! What are you reading this week? is a weekly event now hosted by One Persons Journey Through a World Of Books where we discuss our week of reading!
Currently reading:
- The Two Towers by J.R.R. Tolkien – I am a month behind with the readalong, but by God, I am going to finish this trilogy! TTT is going a lot faster than FotR. So maybe I will be able to finish all three this month!
Finished this week:
- Magic Under Glass by Jaclyn Dolamore – Disappointing.
- Bring the Heat by M.L. Rhodes – Lovely novella! Really want to read more of her stuff, but I don’t think I can read novel-length ebooks! I may have to splash out on an Amazon US order.
Books to get back to:
- The Demon’s Lexicon by Sarah Rees Brennan – I had an amazing 70 page experience, and then started musing about her online fiction instead of the words on the page! This book deserves more attention, and I really shall get back to it soon.
What will I be reading this week?
I am participating in the Dewey’s Readathon on April 10th – and I have a few books lined up for me to get through on that. I am also doing the New Author Challenge: Battle Royale, and need to choose 3-5 books to read for that this month. I think I was slightly high when signing up for these, because I really should be studying instead! Alas. Anyhow, my reading list this week includes:
- Tithe by Holly Black
- Perfect Chemistry by Simone Elkeles
- Mercy Thompson: Homecoming by Patricia Briggs
Reviews posted this week:
- Blood Bound by Patricia Briggs – 5 stars! Absolutely loved this book and highly rec the Mercy Thompson series.
- Fade Out by Rachel Caine – 4 stars. Another great Morganville instalment!
- Halfway to the Grave by Jeaniene Frost – DNF.
- The Tin Star by J.L. Langley – DNF.

Oh I liked Two Towers. You have an impressive list and a busy week. Enjoy your reading time. If you get a moment, my Monday: http://www.rundpinne.com/2010/04/its-monday-what-are-you-reading-5-april.html
You have an interesting list for next week. I love the Mercy Thompson series and just finished Silver Borne. Have a great reading week!
I love to see all the different interests that people have in books 🙂
Have a great week of reading. Lynne’s Book Reviews
Looks like you’ve got a great reading week coming up. I’ve read some great stuff about Tithe! Happy reading 🙂
I just finished the Dwarves by Markus Heitz and it read a lot like Lord of the Rings. It took me a lot longer to read it than most books, but I will admit it was worth it. Have great week.
I’m sorry you were disappointed by Magic Under Glass. The Demon’s Lexicon is a really good book and I hope you enjoy it.
I will be reading Perfect Chemistry this week too. Good luck on your readathon!
