It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? is a meme started by Sheila at Book Journeys. Jen and Kellee at Teach Mentor Texts put their own spin on it by focusing on picture books to YA. Jen has been pestering me (and I mean that in the nicest sense of the word) to do this meme for a few weeks now, so I think I’ll go ahead and do just that today.
What I Read Last Week
Prodigy by Marie Lu
I loved this book, and I have a review forthcoming closer to the release date, which is set for January 29, 2013.
A big thank you to Jillian Heise and her #ARCtours!
The Waiting Sky by Lara Zielin
I thought this was a great book as well. It is an issue book — the issue in this case being alcoholism. The book does a great job of focusing on how the disease affects the family members, and that they need help, too. I’ll post a full-length review soon, as the book releases this week.
What I’m Reading This Week
The Lost Code by Kevin Emerson
The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater
(another #ARCtours book that I’m hoping to have in my mailbox today!)
Those are all my reading plans, but I’m sure more books will pop in and show themselves.
Have a great week of reading, everyone!
Man- I missed the #ARCTours on Twitter- both of your ARCs are supposed to be great ones.
Actually everything you have listed look good!
Happy reading this week!
I am soooo excited about Raven Boys! I have it but am waiting for closer to release date….
I should look that up!
Glad to see Jen’s pestering paid off.
I’m looking forward to reading your review of The Waiting Sky. Then again, I look forward to every review you write.
Glad The Raven Boys made it to you safe and sound. I can’t wait for the #ARCtour of Prodigy to make it to me!
I have The Waiting Sky on my TBR. Can’t wait to read your review!
You’re here!!! It’s fun, isn’t it? I love It’s Monday! What Are You Reading! I think I have Legend but I never read it! I’ll have to remember to look for it when I’m digging through my boxes in my garage. When I saw the The Waiting Sky I immediately thought of Eye of the Storm, interesting that it’s actually about alcoholism. I’ve seen people talking about The Raven Boys…I read Scorpio Races and love her writing but the horses thing didn’t do it for me. Off to see what TRB is actually about!
I had mixed feelings on Legend but will probably still read Prodigy. I do want to know what happens! Cannot wait to read The Raven Boys. Stiefvater is one of my favorites!
I may have to read The Raven Boys. I thought that the Shiver series had some good twists, and this looks interesting.
Nice choices. I read The Lost Code and thought it was okay. I am really eager to read The Raven Boys. I just read The Scorpio Races which made me eager for more Stiefvater. Here is my Monday Report. Happy reading!
The Waiting Sky looks great! Hope you enjoy it!!
Happy reading this week

Can’t wait to chat with you about Prodigy! I swear, I’ll stop goofing off soon and get reading.
