It’s Monday! What are you reading this week? is a weekly event hosted by One Persons Journey Through a World Of Books where we discuss our week of reading!
My reading week has been busy busy busy. I’ve been reading away, but have only managed to finish one book! The trouble is, all the books I am reading right now are fantastic – and I don’t really want to leave any to the side. But I may have to, seeing as how my brain is starting to hurt from all these different characters running through it…
Currently Reading:
- Night Shift by Lilith Saintcrow – Was reading this last night and remembered how much I love Lili’s heroines. Really need to buckle down and finish this one!
- Green-Eyed Demon by Jaye Wells – It’s Jaye Wells and set in New Orleans: needless to say I am loving it!
- Raised by Wolves by Jennifer Lynn Barnes – I am kinda weirded out by the relationship in this one, but enjoying the writing. We’ll see…
Finished this week:
- Ghost Town by Rachel Caine – Disappointing. This was the first book (since Glass House at least) from the series that I have not enjoyed. The characters just felt… off. Let’s hope the shark has not been jumped!
Reviews:
Notice how I am not mentioning any up-next-from-the-TBR books – I really need to get through the books I am reading and not focus on the books I want to read!

Currently Reading:
- Ghost Town by Rachel Caine – I admit it, I started this book while I was half way through about ten others. Tis for shame, but I am enjoying it none the less. I am such a Myrnin fan, and this book has plenty of him!
- Night Shift by Lili St. Crow – Still working my way through this one. My plan for my next day off is to just sit my way through it!
- Green-Eyed Demon by Jaye Wells – I adore this series and this book has been just as fab as the first two!
Finished Reading:
- Delirium by Lauren Oliver – Absolutely loved this – such an elegant, lyrical book.
Up next from the TBR pile:
- Enclave by Ann Aguirre – It is taking every ounce of will I have in me to not start this!

It’s Monday! What are you reading this week? is a weekly event hosted by One Persons Journey Through a World Of Books where we discuss our week of reading!
Currently Reading:
- Night Shift by Lilith Saintcrow – This novel has been neglected yet again this week – but it is not alone!
- Your Face Tomorrow by Javier Marias – This one is my bus-read. The shameful truth is that I know too many people who ride the same bus line as I do, and “outing” myself as a UF/YA fan would involve too much mockery. That isn’t to say that Javier Marias isn’t fantastic, ’cause he is.
- Green-Eyed Demon by Jaye Wells – I ADORE this series and really wish I were at my computer long enough to enjoy the NetGalley… but I’m not. I will finish it (and no doubt, love it) off the screen, but I am still eagerly anticipating the paperback to snuggle with.
Finished this week:
- Friday Night Bites by Chloe Neill – Not as fab as the first book in the Chicagoland series, but still pretty brilliant. I adore Neill’s Chicago. Chicagoland Vamps + The Good Wife = Me thinking the city is the centre of all awesome on the planet.
Reviews this week:
Up next from the TBR pile:
- Delirium by Lauren Oliver – A neglected review book that I am longing to start.
by Kay | Jan 17, 2011 | Weekly Feature |
- Night Shift by Lilith Saintcrow – This book has been slightly neglected this week, although not as much as some of the other books I am half way through. It has that edgy darkness that Lilith St. Crow does so very well – great UF.
Finished this week:
- Mercy by Rebecca Lim – I really, really enjoyed this book once I got into it! It had soo much ethereal goodness in it – really recommend it.
- Immortal Beloved by Cate Tiernan – This was good but it wasn’t quite as action-packed as I expected.
Reviewed this week:
Up next from the TBR pile:
- Delirium by Lauren Oliver – I need to get to this one asap!
- Green-Eyed Demon by Jaye Wells – I have this one my Netgalley and OMG I want to get to this book rightnowplease.

I am part way through a literary orchestra right now. A lot of worthy, deserving books which I owe some serious time to. Take a look at this list of books I am currently reading, and then mock me for the daunting task I have ahead of me.
Currently Reading:
- Night Shift by Lilith Saintcrow – This book is fab – I was kept awake by it despite being super exhausted. Loving the verse and the characters – big plus for me.
- Mercy by Rebecca Lim – Last week, someone suggested I read this in one shift. So… I’m going to get on that.
- Friday Night Bites by Chloe Neill – I love this series, and – well – Chloe’s writing in general. I just need an evening off and a tub of Ben and Jerry’s to enjoy this.
- Raised by Wolves by Jennifer Lynn Barnes – I’m at page 85 and am at an impasse. I’m liking but not loving the protagonist… but I shall persevere.
- Firmin: Adventures of a Metropolitan Lowlife by Sam Savage – Features a rat living in a Boston bookstore who has a rather tragic love for reading. It’s good, but somewhat sad… bought due to a recommendation on Books on the Nightstand.
Finished this week:
- My Soul to Take by Rachel Vincent – Really enjoyed this book. If you’ve read my reviews of her Werecat series, you’ll know I was somewhat on the fence about Vincent’s writing. This book convinced me that she can write characters I like AND write a fantastic universe. Look for the review this week.
Reviews this week:
- Stealing Heaven by Elizabeth Scott – This is one of those books which you hope people will read after you review it. To anyone who thinks Contemporary YA is all Gossip Girl should check out Elizabeth Scott.
Up next from the TBR pile:
- Delirium by Lauren Oliver – I have heard such fab things about this book!
- Immortal Beloved by Cate Tiernan – Just got my finished copy for review, and really want to get to this!
*wipes brow* Phew – just compiling this post was a Herculean effort! So, what are you reading? And if the answer is 2+, how exactly do you manage?
