WWW Wednesday 5 March

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'm still continuing with Blood Red Road by Moira Young.  I'm enjoying it more as I go along, it has a little Max Mad beyond the Thunderdome feel about it.  I also like that Saba is a strong character and Emmy isn't so annoying which is fantastic.  As I'm on the mobile library this week, I'm listening to Unleashed by Sarah Humphreys.  This is a paranormal romance about the Amoveo, which are shifter clans, Malcolm is an eagle shifter and Sam is half wolf shifter.  I am enjoying it but I have a thing about 'fated mates', sometimes the relationship can feel forced, although so far it doesn't seem like the case with Unleashed.

 

 

What did you just finish reading?

 

I finished the first book for March in this years #yearathon, which was Twilight by Stephenie Meyer.  I actually enjoyed this more than I remember, although I think my memories of the movie have clouded my enjoyment of the book.  But really - who am I kidding the movies were bigdumbfun.  I also finished The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick, which I thought was lovely, beautiful words and illustrations.

What are you going to read next?

I still haven't started Possession by A.S. Byatt yet, but hopefully by next week I will have.  I also need to read The Book Thief by Markus Zusak, which is my book groups pick for March.  I'm also waiting for a copy of A Wrinkle in Time to arrive as this is another 1001 kids group read.  I need to get a wriggle on!

 

Another week of reading gone, I wish I had more time to read, I miss the days of old where I could pretty much drop everything and read for as long as I wanted - growing up ruins everything!  Plus it doesn't help that I work in a library and I visit lots of book blogs :)  I see something and I immediately want to read it.  

 

Let me know what you're reading in the comments below.

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.
