Books I Finished This Week:
I finally finished 1Q84 by Haruki Murakami. *throws confetti* According to my shelves on Goodreads, I started this one on December 20th. Granted, it was not the only thing I was reading during that whole time, but it certainly took me a long time. I enjoyed the story and was glad that the ending didn’t disappoint. It is not the genre that I usually read so it was an interesting departure for me. I would recommend this one with a caution that it will be a big undertaking!
This week, we were fortunate to have Peter Lerangis visit our school. I bought the entire Seven Wonders series. I really enjoyed this first book in the series, The Colossus Rises. Fans of Percy Jackson would enjoy this one. I am excited to pass this one on to one of my students when I get back to school.
Books I am currently reading:
I am still listening to Queen of Shadows, but that is all since I just finished a book last night.
What’s Next?
I am on Spring Break this week so I have some big plans. I am definitely going to read the second book in the Seven Wonders series. I also want to read Carry On by Rainbow Rowell and The Kitchens of the Great Midwest, which I also got for Christmas. I will also be picking up a couple middle grade titles to read this week.
What are you reading this week? I would love to hear from you in the comments!
Can’t wait to see what you think of Carry On! It’s been on my list since before it came out, but now I’m afraid it will change my love of Fangirl. Decisions, decisions. Enjoy!
I haven’t heard of the Seven Wonders series. I’ll have to check it out. Enjoy your spring break!
I had the lovely opportunity of interviewing Peter Lerangis here in Singapore when he came to visit and launched the first book in the series – such a grounded, very humble, and FUN author to talk to.
I started Carry On, but it just didn’t work for me and I ended up abandoning it. (It just didn’t stand up to Fangirl) Hope you have a fabulous reading week!
