Monday Reading

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:

  • Boy Meets Boy by David Levithan – The new Let’s Go Beyond Tolerance Blog and The Story Siren’s upcoming LGBT week inspired me to finally start this book.  Really enjoying it so far, and I am going to have to restrain myself from packing the book with quotes!

Finished this week:

  • Ink Exchange by Melissa Marr – This was rather scary, but very very well done.  Melissa Marr writes the most gut-wrenchingly realistic YA – despite her books being about faeries!
  • Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick – Well written, but LUDICROUSLY DISTURBING.  Seriously, parents!  Don’t let your kids anywhere near this book.  Until I can bring myself to write a review for this, read Aja’s Bad Romance: YA and Rape Culture post.

Finished this week: Absolutely nothing.  *sad face*  It’s been rather hectic round here and my reading time has been tragically cut very short.

Recently Abandoned:

  • The Story of Edgar Sawtelle by David Wroblewski – 275 pages in and I am giving up.  Even though I enjoyed the first 150-so pages quite a bit, I did not sign up for a re-telling of Hamlet.  I feel rather cheated.  (Oh, and a lot of the opinions about dogs in this?  Kinda bizarre.)

Finished this week:

  • Ill Wind by Rachel Caine – Quite enjoyed, and have a feeling the sequel will be even better.
  • The Thief by Megan Whalen Turner – BLAH.  I know this book is worshipped by most YA bloggers, but I really couldn’t see the attraction.  It felt like a bad Indiana Jones rip-off… *hides*
  • Rules of Attraction by Simone Elkeles – Bloody brilliant.  I read this in a single go and adored it.  I thought it was so much better than Perfect Chemistry (which I enjoyed) and totally rec it for YA fans!

Currently Reading: 

  • Ill Wind by Rachel Caine – Really well written, but I can’t say I’m in love with these new characters.  I am just reminding myself about how apathetic I was about the first book in the Morganville Vampires series – and how much I grew to love them in the rest of the series!
