This week was a good reading week! I read a lot of quick and easy books and feel so accomplished after this weekend of reading.
Books I Finished This Week:
I enjoyed reading this book from NetGalley. I will probably write a review of this one closer to its release date. It was fun to read this fast-paced mystery.
Since I enjoyed The Body in the Woods, I decided to pull Girl, Stolen by April Henry off the shelf. I enjoyed this quick read about a blind girl who is accidentally kidnapped while a man is trying to steal the car she is in. I know that my 8th grade students will really like this story.
Defy by Sara Larson is a fantasy adventure story. I was swept up in the story from the very beginning. The protagonist is a strong female who works to change things in her kingdom. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who likes fantasy.
A Tangle of Knots by Lisa Graff is a fun story about finding family and finding your talent. I read this one in one sitting. I definitely recommend this one.
I decided to pick up the next book in the Pretty Little Liars series to read quickly over the weekend. I enjoy these books in a kind of guilty pleasure way. They are certainly not great literature, but it is fun to read about the twists and turns that this mystery takes.
Books I am Currently Reading:
I am listening to Where Things Come Back. I also started reading I Am The Messenger by Marcus Zuzak. So far, I am enjoying both of these books.
What’s Next?
I will be picking up the next Pretty Little Liars book this week. I also will read The Monstrumologist.
What did you read this week? I would love to hear from you in the comments!
I'm reading I Am the Messenger right now–well, listening to it on audio. Wonderfully narrated, too, which always helps. Not sure why I had such a mental block about the book–I have started and abandoned it many times over the last few years. But I'm loving it now.
Hello there Andrea, I love guilty pleasures when it comes to reading materials. Mine tend towards the darker, gothic side. One of the GatheringBooks ladies read A Tangle of Knots and enjoyed it. Hopefully, I get to that one as well.
