It’s Monday! What Are You Reading?

Welcome to It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? This is a meme hosted by Sheila @ Book Journey; and I think it is great to start the week with what I’m reading right this minute, and what I’ll be reading (or planning on reading, anyway) for the rest of the week.

The winner gets a $5 Amazon gift card. How awesome is that?

Last week, I read the following books :

What the Duke Desires - (un)Conventional BookviewsWhat The Duke Desires by Sabrina Jeffries is a really good historical romance that earned 5 stars from me. Very refreshing, with a mystery, travel and a spunky heroine I loved! My review will be posted tomorrow.

 

Untethered - (un)Conventional BookviewsUntethered by Katie Hayoz is an original YA paranormal romance novel, I really enjoyed it – 4 solid stars. It was exciting to read something that felt so new!

 

Losing Hope - (un)Conventional BookviewsLosing Hope (Hopeless #2) by Colleen Hoover blew me away! I had pretty high expectations, that were exeeded. And I gave it 5 living stars – it was very well written, and even if parts of it was Hopeless from Holder’s POV, there was a lot of new scenes as well.

 

Right now, I’m reading

Robin's Blue - (un)Conventional BookviewsRobin’s Blue by Pam Alster. I have just started it, so I can’t really say much about it for the time being. But it’s supposed to be sad and a little difficult to read about…

 

Next week, I plan to read the following books :

Crossing the Line - (un)Conventional Bookviews Crossing the Line (Pushing the Limites #1.5) I loved Pushing the Limits and Dare You To so much I just want/need more from this universe.

 

Splintered - (un)Conventional BookviewsSplintered by A. G. Howard has been on my TBR for a while, and I think I’m in the mood for it right now 🙂

 

Shatter Me - (un)Conventional BookviewsShatter Me by Tahereh Mafi. I have some friends who have been telling me for ages I need to read this. And I agree – I do 🙂

 

 

Here are some other posts that went live on (un)Conventional Bookviews last week :

    I’ll have to check out What the Duke Desires. I haven’t read anything by Sabrina Jeffries yet but I’ve been wanting to. I have a friend who highly recommends her books.

    I liked Crossing the Line though I prefer the full length novels. I love this series and I’m looking forward to Isaiah’s story.

      I prefer full lenght novels, but I’ll probably still like Crossing the Line – it’s like a just need a little bit of that universe, you know?

      Sabrina Jeffries writes excellent historical romances, I really enjoyed this one.

      Thanks for stopping by Christina! Happy reading.

    I’ve got some Colleen Hoover novels on my bookshelf *shame face* unread and I can’t even remember what they are but at least you’ve made me dig them out (after I finish commenting lol)

    At least we don’t have long to wait for Crash Into You, can’t wait for Isaiah’s story.
    Have a great week and happy reading 🙂

      I have books on my shelves that are just collecting dust as well, and it’s really not on purpose. I hope you’ll like them! I have a huge author-crush on Colleen Hoover, her writing goes straight to my heart 🙂

      I can’t wait for Crash Into You! I look forward to getting to know Isaiah better.

      Thanks for stopping by!

      Robin’s Blue is good so far, but something is very wrong with the formatting… I’ve sent a message to the author to see if it has been fixed.

      Shatter Me is awesome so far, too, and I love it!

      Thanks for stopping by, Brandee.

    I am glad that you liked What A Duke Desires, I thought you would like Sabrina Jefferies! This one is on my TBR pile and coming up soon as I need to get it read!

    I have wanted to read Shatter Me as well but never got around to it. I have seen Splintered around but not sure about it, so I can’t wait to see what you think about both of these books! Happy Reading!

    I just finished Hidden by Marianne Curley and it was not bad for an Angel book, I am not a huge Angel book fan but it was okay. 🙂 Now I am reading One Night with A Rake by Mia Marlowe and Connie Mason..so far it’s okay but I haven’t really gotten very far to know if I will love it or not. 🙂

    I just saw on Amazon that Hopeless is $0.99. I’m still reading book 2 in Kim Harrison’s Hollows series. Dare You To is next. Two great reads back to back. hehe! Last week was Switching and I loved it, Lexxie. The characters continue to flitter around inside my head.

    Have a great week!

      I’m so glad you loved Switching, Robyn! And those characters are actually STILL wreaking havoc in my mind, too.

      Thanks for stopping by.

    Untethered sounds like something I’d like. Any book in a particular genre that stands out is great.

    Untethered looks mighty interesting. Astral Projection, or traveling is one subject that hasn’t been done to death. 🙂

    Have a great week

      I know! I think the astral-projection was one of the things that sucked me in!
