In this weekly event hosted by One Persons Journey Through a World Of Books where we discuss what we’ve been reading this week (and, occasionally, what we haven’t).
Currently Reading:
- The Iron Hunt by Marjorie M. Liu – I am not quite in love with Liu’s style. She uses: Very. Short. Sentences. But, enjoying the plot, so we’ll see!
Finished this week:
- Moloka’i by Alan Brennert – I don’t often review literary fiction, but this one was just so fantastic I will have to share! I cried about 10 times reading this thing, and yet I wouldn’t call it a tragedy. Saga – yes. Tragedy – no. Expect a review this week!
Did NOT Finish:
- Across the Universe by Beth Revis – After reading so many great reviews of this book, I was extremely disappointed. The world-building was non-existent and the characters were just a bore: this book is Sci-Fi 101. It took me only twenty pages to realise that – at best – I’d be writing a 2 star review for this book. So not worth the effort. Shame…
Up next from the TBR pile:
I am still working my way through TBR Newbies challenge books. After The Iron Hunt, I think I will FINALLY start reading The Hunger Games. Considering the film is already being cast, it’s about time!

Aw, I’m sad you didn’t finish ATU! I really loved that one! 😀
I haven’t read Across the Universe yet, but now I can’t wait to see what I think. Shame you didn’t like it.
Coming up I’ll be reading a Harry Harrison book, more manga, more assigned reading for school and whatever else strikes my fancy. Come see what I finished this week.
