It's that time again!! I hope you've had a great week reading. I spent most of last week reading "Before I Go To Sleep" by S.J Watson. I'll be reviewing that book tomorrow so I'll leave you in a teeny bit of suspense.
This morning I started "Madame Tussaud" by one of my favourite historical fiction authors, Michelle Moran. She has an incredible way of describing France (and it's revolution) in the late 1700's. It's like I can picture being there! I love her style of writing and she has a great ability to always keep me wanting more! If you haven't read her other books (ie Nefertiti or The Heretic Queen) I encourage you to pick them up!!
Next book for me? I have "Mockingjay" (the third book in The Hunger Games) that my oldest son just finished. I loved the first book in the series, wasn't impressed by the second so it'll be interesting to see what I think of the third. "Boy 1" said that he liked the third book more than the second. How cool is it that I can 'talk books' with my 11 year old son?!?!
After that, I plan to read either an ebook or "The Kitchen Daughter" by Jael McHenry. Has anyone read this book? I think it was recommended by another book blogger on Twitter.
Soooo, what did you read last week? What are you planning on reading this week?
I'm reading The Summer I Turned Pretty, recommendation from a friend. I've never read anything by Michelle Moran. I'm intrigued!
ReplyDeleteChristina -- word of mouth book recommendations are always the best!! Ohhhh, definitely give Michelle Moran a try!!!! I read "Nefertiti" first and loved it!! Her books can be firmly put in the 'hard to put down and get anything remotely done around the house' pile. ;)
ReplyDeleteI've been wanting to try The Hunger Games - my young cousin devoured them when I was visiting a few months ago and she said I should really give them a try!
ReplyDeleteI am reading "The Passage" by Justin Cronin. I wish I could explain what it is about....it is set in the not so distant future and a virus which turns people into vampire-like creatures has been covertly given to death row inmates. I must say I am completely compelled and hooked! I have this feeling by time time I get it done it won't be about what I have described at all!
ReplyDeleteI love that you recommend books too! I'm glad I found you!
ReplyDeleteMegan -- I loved "The Hunger Games". I still have to read the third book in the series (Mockingjay) but my 11 year old read it and liked it.
ReplyDeleteKym -- your book sounds intriguing. Viruses, vampires and death row inmates lol!! Love a book that totally captivates you from the start! I'll check it out for sure!
Lisa -- welcome to my blog! I hope you find lots of inspiration in the kitchen and for your daily reading. :)
Last week I read "The Clairvoyant Countess" by Dorothy Gilman. Excellent!
ReplyDeleteThis week, I think I'm going to be on an urban fantasy kick!
Reading Benioff's City of Thieves. Such a gem! Have you read it?
ReplyDeleteMaria -- I've never read any books by Dorothy Gilman. I'm always on the lookout for new mystery writers. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteJohanna -- I've never heard of "City of Thieves" before but it has a very interesting premise! Not to mention very high ratings!! I'm very drawn to that era in history. Thanks for bringing this book to my attention!
