It's Monday! What are you Reading?

This weekly meme is hosted by Book Journey. What you do is list the books you read last week, and then list all of the books you plan to read this coming week.

What I read last week:

Lord of the Flies, by William Golding - A disturbing, but overall powerful and enjoyable YA classic. I wrote a review last week.

The Angels' Share, by Rayme Waters - A promising debut novel with powerful writing, but the story faltered due to what I saw as a lack of focus. My review is here.

*Make sure to check out my giveaway!*

What I'm currently reading:

The Archaeologists, by Chris Lee

What I plan to read next:

A Storm of Swords, by George R. R. Martin - Book 3 of Martin's massive series is probably the last one I will get to read by the end of the summer. I've heard it's the best, and I'll see if it matches the hype.

It's Monday! What Are You Reading?

This weekly meme is hosted by Book Journey. What you do is list the books you read last week, and then list all of the books you plan to read this coming week.

What I read last week:

I started reading Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins, but only got 150 pages into it before I decided the book wasn't for me. My review of my progress can be found here.

I read and finished The Ear, the Eye, and the Arm by Nancy Farmer this past weekend. I really enjoyed it. My review is here.

I also read another Young Adult sci-fi novel, A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle. It was my first experience with L'Engle, and I enjoyed it, though I could sense some anti-Communist ideology thrown in there. I'll write my review later this week.







 What I'm currently reading:

 I'm just about to start William Golding's Lord of the Flies, another classic YA novel I have never read. Hopefully it's as good as the hype.









 What I plan to read next:

 I won the novel, The Angels' Share by Rayme Waters, from a giveaway hosted by Gilion at Rose City Reader. The novel comes out at the end of the month, and I'm hoping by next week to host my own giveaway of the novel, after I've written a review.

It's Monday! What Are You Reading?

This is my first time participating in this weekly meme, hosted by Book Journey. What you do is list the books you read last week, and then list all of the books you plan to read this coming week.

What I read last week:

I only got around to reading one book last week, and that was The Perks of Being a Wallflower, by Stephen Chbosky. I highly recommend this one if you haven't read it yet. My review is here.









What I'm currently reading:

The main reason for my reading slump is that I'm getting through George R. R. Martin's mammoth A Clash of Kings, the second in his Song of Fire and Ice series. I'm over two-thirds of the way through now, and I'm really enjoying it. Not for the faint of heart, but it has a great story and some great characters.

What I plan to read next:

I'm hoping to finish A Clash of Kings by mid-week, and then my ideal week would have me finishing Suzanne Collins' The Hunger Games trilogy by the weekend. At least they're quick reads.
