What Are You Reading: April 16, 2012: 04/15/12
My favorite read last week was Sapphique by Catherine Fisher. Most reviews seem to like Incarceron best but I disagree. I was more sucked into the sequel than I was to the original. Quickest 400+ pages I've read in a long time! Last week I said I wanted to finish I Am Half Sick Of Shadows by Alan Bradley and The Lost Cities: A Drift House Voyage by Dale Peck.That's still true. I made large dents in both but didn't finish them. I still plan to start Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter by Seth Grahame-Smith. What about you? Finished:

Comment #2: Monday, April 16, 2012 at 14:46:10 Pussreboots Rather than spend an entire month just reading 1Q84, I'm spreading out the experience over many weeks by only reading a chapter or two a week. That gives me time to mull what I've read. It's as complex as it is thick. Comment #3: Monday, April 16, 2012 at 01:13:10 As always you have a lot happening. I read 100 Cupboards a while back. I think I have the next one in that series too... I really should read it I thought it was so good. Comment #4: Monday, April 16, 2012 at 14:46:10 Pussreboots I loved 100 Cupboards but struggled with the sequel. I hope you like it better than I did. Comment #5: Monday, April, 16, 2012 at 06:58:35 As usual, you are the busy, busy reader! I admire that. Here's my It's Monday! What Are You Reading? Please stop by and say hello! Comment #6: Monday, April 16, 2012 at 14:55:05 Pussreboots I read after the kids go to bed, and in the mornings on the weekend. It's a nice way to relax. Comment #7: Monday, April, 16, 2012 at 07:22:00 I need to re-read The Book Thief - was so good. Zusak also has a book Called The Messenger that is fantastic but really different to The Book Thief. You can check out my Monday here. Comment #8: Monday, April 16, 2012 at 14:57:12 Pussreboots I haven't read I am the Messenger but I plan to. Comment #9: Monday, April, 16, 2012 at 08:05:05 I am always amazed at the number of books you are reading at once. I do hope you get a chance to finish some of the library books before you have to return them. Have a great reading week! Comment #10: Monday, April 16, 2012 at 15:00:10 Pussreboots I'm reading more books than I'd like right now because of the impending library due date. I'll certainly get Pricker Boy and I am Half-Sick of Shadows done by the due date. The others are still up in the air. Comment #11: Monday, April, 16, 2012 at 08:46:41 Some day I plan to read The Book Thief. Enjoy your week and your reads; and thanks for visiting my blog. Comment #12: Monday, April 16, 2012 at 15:06:24 Pussreboots I have a lot of books planned for "some day." Happy reading. Comment #13: Monday, April, 16, 2012 at 08:53:00 Kearsley is on my wishlist with all her books! Comment #14: Monday, April 16, 2012 at 16:07:25 Pussreboots It was my first Kearsley book. I'm not sure if I'll read others. Comment #15: Monday, April, 16, 2012 at 10:25:06 I hate having to return books before I finish them! Good luck with your papers and reading this week. Comment #16: Monday, April 16, 2012 at 16:19:02 Pussreboots Thank you. I'm making good progress on my papers. I will do my best to read through my library books before they are due. Comment #17: Monday, April, 16, 2012 at 10:35:57 Kristin @ Always With a Book I always find that I am crunched for time with library books...I have a bunch on reserve and they always end up coming in when I need to read books for upcoming tours. Good luck with your research papers. Comment #18: Monday, April 16, 2012 at 16:21:03 Pussreboots That's what happened to me. I bunch of interlibrary loan books showed up at the same time as the hold books. Comment #19: Monday, April, 16, 2012 at 11:55:56 The Little Blue Envelope series sounds interesting, I've wanted to read the first one for awhile. Hope you enjoy the sequel :) Comment #20: Monday, April 16, 2012 at 16:24:15 Pussreboots I am enjoying the sequel. Both books are delightful. I hope you get a chance to read them. Comment #21: Monday, April, 16, 2012 at 18:25:01 I really need to read the Last Little Blue Envelope. I hope you're enjoying it! Comment #22: Monday, April 16, 2012 at 16:26:22 Pussreboots The Last Little Blue Envelope is great so far! Comment #24: Monday, April 16, 2012 at 16:26:22 Pussreboots Thank you. Happy reading! Comment #25: Monday, April 16, 2012 at 23:45:04 Comment #26: Monday, April 16, 2012 at 10:51:34 Pussreboots The Fisher books are really quick reads. 1Q84, though, is a commitment! |
