WWW Wednesdays 26 Feb





It is that time of the week again, where we talk all about our reading!


WWW Wednesdays is hosted by Miz B over at ShouldBeReading.  If you'd like to join in here is what you need to do - answer these three questions:
* What are you currently reading?
* What did you just finish reading?
* What are you going to read next?


Then go and check out what everyone else who is participating is reading - I recommend you visit with pen at the ready, I always come away with new books to add to my Mt. TBR! 

*What are you currently reading?

I started Blood Red Road by Moira Young this week, I'm only a  few chapters in, but I'm liking it so far.  I am a fan of dystopian YA.  Plus I'm happy because this has been sitting on my shelves for a few years now, I saw the sequel and was going to get that before I realised I own, but hadn't read the first one yet.  I'm also almost finished The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick, which is a 1001 group read.  Promises by Cathryn Hein is another I'm reading, we had her at work for an author talk a couple weeks back, hopefully next week I'll have a blog post organised about her books/visit.


 
* What did you just finish reading?
 
I finished Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan this week,  so good! Just so good.  I really enjoyed this, it was a lot of fun, I hadn't seen the movie for a long time, so I'd forgotten things that happen, plus there is so much more in the books, I'm really looking forward to continuing with this series.  I finished Disgrace by J. M. Coetzee last week, another 1001 book, this one from the adult list.  I still haven't finished my review about this book, I think I'm going to do a reread of some parts, it's still rattling around in my head.  He is such a brilliant author, he gets under my skin.
 
 
* What are you going to read next?
 
Well maybe the question should be what aren't I going to read - I haven't  decided which adult 1001 book I'm going to read, but I'm leaning towards Possession by A. S. Byatt.  I also have a group read of A wrinkle in time and The girl who loved horses  And to top that off I checked out a menagerie of books from work last night.  I'm also participating in the #yearathon on Goodreads, with the Twilight books my reads for March and if I get through all of those I'm going to reread The Host as I never finished the last 100 or so pages.
 
There is also the possibility that I'll get sidetracked by other books, one of the best/worst things about working in a library is the books I see.  I want to read ALL THE BOOKS and there's never enough time :)

So that's my WWW Wednesday for this week.  What about you?  Just finish something fantastic?  Let me know what you're reading and what you're going to read next.  I love to have a chat about books - any excuse really.

  1. I love dystopian stories too, so I'll have to check out Blood Red Road. And I picked up a few of The Heroes of the Olympus series, but I haven't read the Percy Jackson series. Hopefully they are just as good!


    Happy Reading to you!

    1. I love letting my imagination run wild with dystopian stories - what would I do if that were me? I need to get past my annoyance for the little sister now, she's aggravating me! I think there is some cross over with the HoO series, so I'm looking forward to reading those once I finish Percy.

      Thanks for hopping by :)

    1. I'd put it off for a long time as well, but I got the first three as a gift for Christmas, so I thought why not? I thought it was great and now I'm wondering why I kept putting it off.

      Thanks or hopping by :)

    1. I'm really looking forward to it, I loved the film and I enjoyed The Children's Book recently, so I think it's going to be great. I think Byatt spends a lot of time researching before she writes her novel and I love that it brings extra to her stories.

      Thanks for hopping by :)
