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:
While on vacation, I finished several books:
- Case Histories by Kate Atkinson
- Monsters of Men by Patrick Ness (ZOMG! What a great ending to the series!)
- To Say Nothing of the Dog by Connie Willis
- and I'm halfway through the (extremely) long Kushiel's Dart by Jacqueline Carey
I'd like to finish Kushiel's Dart and then...well, I'm not sure. I'm thinking perhaps Life of Pi by Yann Martel and Ill Wind by Rachel Caine.

Mailbox Monday is a touring meme where book bloggers share their bookish acquisitions from the week prior. It is hosted this month by Anna at Diary of an Eccentric.
Purchased:
A Long, Long Sleep by Anna Sheehan (Kindle ebook sale!!)
The Girl with Glass Feet by Ali Shaw
Library:
A Sight for Sore Eyes by Ruth Rendell (for the Btown Booksters meeting this month)
A Long Long Sleep looks very good. I didn't enjoy Life of Pi. Happy Reading!
ReplyDeleteWhat did you think of Case Histories? I listened to it on audio and was surprised by the wry sense of humor and thought it was pretty good but I was expecting more, I think.
ReplyDeleteYAY FOREVER to Monsters of Men.
ReplyDeleteAnd Life of Pi was one of those books I thought was okay and then I ended up LOVING.
I want to read Life of Pi; I know it's one of those "should read" books. I look forward to seeing what you think of it! Happy reading this week!
ReplyDelete@MrsQ - Yep, I'm excited for A Long, Long Sleep!
ReplyDelete@barklesswagmore - I liked it, but I also expected a bit more. The beginning was slow for me...I felt like everything came together in the last 30 pages!
@Lisa - I second your YAY :)
@JP - I've had it on my shelves for far too long, and I agree, I've heard it's one of those "should read" books.
AAAHHHHHHH!!!! I could cry I'm so glad you FINALLY finished MoM. Although it took me FOREVER to finish. So emotionally zapping, that book, but well-worth the time invested. That series is just pure gold.
ReplyDeleteI just bought Life of Pi at Goodwill a few weeks ago.
I was thinking of getting A Long, Long Sleep too, but I haven't done it yet.
But YAY for the Ness books! I'm SO HAPPY!!
I've been tempted by Jacqueline Carey's books a few times but the length does put me off a bit. I've had The Girl With Glass Feet for ages and only last week did I realise it was written by a man, it just looks so girly (at least my edition does). I'm sure I'll get around to it some time.
