It's Monday! What Are You Reading? - 9 January 2017

It's Monday! What Are You Reading? Button

Hosted by Kathryn from Book Date, this is a weekly event to share what we’ve read in the past week and what we hope to read, plus whatever else comes to mind. To learn more about each book, just click on the book cover!

It is one week into the new year. How are you doing on your resolutions?

FINISHED SINCE THE LAST UPDATE:

Elly Blake’s debut novel is reminiscent of Sarah J. Maas’ series about the Fey but don’t let that fool you. Her feisty heroine draws your sympathy, and the story makes it difficult to put down the book for real life.

Irene Winters is back in this latest installment of what I am calling The Adventures of The Librarian. I adore this series, and Ms. Cogman’s latest does not disappoint.

Susan Rivers’ second novel is probably one of the best novels I have read in a long time. It has a little bit of everything and is the epitome of an unputdownable novel.

CURRENT READ:

Another murder mystery and I don’t care. I hope it is as good as it sounds!

CURRENT LISTEN:

I am slowly making progress on this one. The evangelizing still makes me uncomfortable and the vocalizations of the aliens is REALLY cringe-worthy, but I have no idea where the story is going or how it will end. That keeps me listening.

UP NEXT:

The buzz on this one is deafening and it looks to be the type of novel that will rip out your heart and tear it to pieces. I can’t wait.

So, what are you reading?

The Second Mrs. Hockaday is a bit out of my price range…. Audio maybe?

I have Frost Blood on my pile at work and I almost grabbed it for my train book Friday. Now you’re making me kick myself! All three of your current reads sound good!

I hope you get a chance to read it soon! It might be the mindless reading enjoyment you need right now.

You’re the second person I’ve seen rave about Mrs. Hockaday…I’m not a huge historical fiction fan, so I keep shying away, but maybe I should rethink that.

Did you know that Mrs. Hockaday is loosely based on a true story? Does that help your decision-making? It is so well-written and an incredible story that I want everyone to read it!
