Hosted by Sheila at Book Journey. We share books that we've read over the past week and those we hope to read this week.
Last Week:
I haven't accomplished much reading this week - partially due to the fact that we held our 2nd Annual Twisted Turkey Friendsgiving this weekend! It was a blast but ate up a lot of my free time last week (pun intended). I did manage to squeeze in some reading for the Btown Booksters holiday meeting last Friday and finished the adorable Dash & Lily's Book of Dares by Rachel Cohn and David Levithan (review coming this Thursday)!
This Week:
I really want to read some books that have been sitting on my shelves for far too long. Also, I want to continue with some Holiday reading. My hopes are that I'll read the following:
- Monsters of Men by Patrick Ness - I've waited far too long to finish this fantastic trilogy!
- The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms by N. K. Jemisin - I've heard nothing but praise for this novel and it's been calling to me from my TBR shelf.
- The Stupidest Angel by Christopher Moore - this looks like a hilarious Christmas book and I can't wait to read it!

This past week I received some fantastic goodies!
First up, I found Arcadia by Lauren Groff sitting pretty in my mailbox.
Next, I squealed with glee when I opened a package containing No One is Here Except All of Us by Ramona Ausubel as I had just blogged about wanting to read this book!
What goodies did you find in your mailbox?
No One is Here Except All of Us looks great and I love that it is set in Romania. Hope you enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteBoth mailbox books look very good. More for my wish list! I hope they are both good reads!
ReplyDeleteThe Twisted Turkey Day sounds like an awesome idea! It's always great to get together with friends.
ReplyDeleteI really like the cover on 'No one'. Hope you enjoy the book!
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms, thank you for the heads-up. Enjoy your reads. :)
ReplyDeleteAll great books - I'd like to read Ness's trilogy - its been so popular

I read Dash & Lily last Christmas and thought it was so cute. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteI still need to pick up Dash & Lily's Book of Dares. I've also had the first of that Patrick Ness trilogy sitting on my shelves unread for far too long! Thanks for the reminder.
