It's Monday, What Are You Reading? (8)

This meme is hosted by Sheila of Book Journey and showcases the books we recently read, are currently reading, and are planning on reading soon!

Over the past two weeks I've read Going Too Far by Jennifer Echols, Bloom by Elizabeth Scott, Losing Faith by Denise Jaden (review here), and The Language of Souls by Lena Goldfinch (review here).

Right now I'm partway through Juliet by Anne Fortier and Twenty Boy Summer by Sarah Ockler.

Not sure what I'll read next... I got a few pages into The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo so I may try delving into that one further.

Well, this past week I read Still Alice by Lisa Genova, Up the Down Staircase by Bel Kaufman, and Beautiful Malice by Rebecca James (review here).

Right now I'm almost done Chataine's Guardian by Robin Hardy, and I have moved a few pages further into Little Dorrit.

Up next? I really don't know. There's a few books I've started that I should really keep going on, including Polly Shulman's The Grimm Legacy, Sarah Addison Allen's The Sugar Queen, and Diana Gabaldon's Outlander. So possibly one of those! And of course, I will try to keep chugging away at Little Dorrit (I don't anticipate I will be done that one anytime soon!)

This past week I read The Extraordinary Secrets of April, May and June by Robin Benway and Stolen by Lucy Christopher (review here).

Currently I'm in the middle of The Blackstone Key by Rose Melikan, and enjoying it so far although it's rather slow-moving (at this point) for a mystery. I've also started The Grimm Legacy by Polly Shulman and Beautiful Malice by Rebecca James.

Up next: Probably either Outlander by Diana Gabaldon or Innocent Traitor by Alison Weir (apparently I'm on some kind of historical fiction kick at the moment!) Also Incarceron by Catherine Fisher is due to arrive at my library soon, and I've read some really positive reviews of that one, so it'll also be on my list.

Since I missed this meme last week I'll cover the past two weeks. The week before last I read and reviewed Nothing by Janne Teller and Garden Spells by Sarah Addison Allen. This past week I read and reviewed Mockingjay (of course!!!) and Before I Fall by Lauren Oliver.

At the moment, I'm still partway through Little Dorrit (though I need to make some major progress in this one, it keeps getting pushed aside for other things like Mockingjay) and Stolen by Lucy Christopher (so far it's been depressing and disturbing, but I keep hoping things will get better...kind of doubt it though).

Next up? Probably The Extraordinary Secrets of April, May and June by Robin Benway, as it's waiting at the library for me. I've heard great things about this one!

All right, so this past week I read and reviewed The Dark Divine by Bree Despain and Beautiful Creatures by Kami Gracia & Margaret Stohl (links go to reviews).

I am still working on Dickens' Little Dorrit (that one will be a while, I can tell) and have now started Garden Spells by Sarah Addison Allen, which I am enjoying thus far.

Up next? Not sure yet. I've got several out from the library I haven't read or finished reading yet, including The Red Necklace by Sally Gardner, Mariah Mundi: The Midas Box by G. P. Taylor, and Story Time by Edward Bloor.

And, The Iron Daughter by Julie Kagawa and Stolen by Lucy Christopher are waiting for me at the library, so I will have to pick them up as soon as possible! Once I get my hands on those they will definitely be my top priority (so Dickens will once again be put aside).

So, this past week I read and reviewed Sleepless by Cyn Balog and Forget You by Jennifer Echols. Some of the books I was reading the week before I am still reading (haven't gotten much farther on either Oryx and Crake or Beautiful Creatures) and I have also begun Little Dorrit by Charles Dickens (this one could be on-the-go for a looooooong time because, well, it's Dickens).

I'm not really sure what I'm going to pick up next...it could take me a while to get through all of the ones I'm working on right now! The Unrivalled Spangles by Karen Wallace is going to be arriving at my library soon, though, so we'll see how much that one grabs me.

I just finished re-reading Austen's Sense and Sensibility yesterday (it took me a while but you can't really speed-read Austen). Right now I have a few books on the go: Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl, Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood, and Persuasion (yes, I'm on an Austen kick right now!) Beautiful Creatures is good so far, although thicker than I expected, Oryx and Crake is just plain weird and unsettling, and Persuasion is another re-read.

As for upcoming reads, whenever I get a chance to make it down to the library, I hope to have the following books in my clutches:

The Dark Divine by Bree Despain
Forget You by Jennifer Echols
I was Jane Austen's Best Friend by Cora Harrison
Sleepless by Cyn Balog

It's Monday, What Are You Reading?

This meme is hosted by Book Journey and in it we discuss recent, current, and future reads of the week. This is my first time participating!

I recently read and reviewed The Ghosts of Ashbury High by Jaclyn Moriarty, and I am now currently re-reading Austen's Sense and Sensibility. The last time I read it was quite a while ago and I think I'm getting a good deal more out of it this time around!

Books to get picked up at the library at some point this week include:

The Silent Governess by Julie Klassen
The Tenant of Wildfell Hall by Anne Bronte (I've seen the movie so I thought I should try the book)
Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia & Margaret Stohl - I've read such good things about this one!
