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.

Please visit Sheila’s blog to sign up on her linky, that way you will have other Monday bloggers coming to visit you as well.

Last week, I read the following book:

The Iron Traitor - (un)Conventional BookviewsThe Iron Traitor (Iron Fey: Call of the Forgotten #2) by Julie Kagawa. It was really good – with a horrible cliffhanger! And I gave it 5 stars.

 

 

Right now, I’m reading:

Sanctuary - (un)Conventional BookviewsSanctuary by Pauline Creeden. It’s about aliens come to earth, attacks and survival. I’m reading this for a blogtour I’m participating in.

 

 

Next up, I’m planning on reading:

I don’t have any plans at all – so it’s going to be a mystery next Monday 😉

Here’s what happened on (un)Conventional Bookviews last week:

This past week was quite quiet reading-wise for me, as classes started again, and I was utterly exhausted when the weekend arrived, so I didn’t even do my Sidekick Showcase. I might still get that one up during the week, though.

What did you read last week? Do you have any recommendations for me? Please leave me a link so I can come check out your It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? post 🙂 Thanks for stopping by today, have a great week, and happy reading.

    • This cliffhanger was actually pretty logical, though, Ciska, and it didn’t really upset me all that much. I know that doesn’t make sense, especially because I usually hate cliffhangers.

      Thanks for stopping by!

  1. I just finished a debut novel for middle graders called Sky Jumpers by Peggy Eddleman and it was pretty good. I can’t wait to read her next book.

    Now I am reading Mister Max and the Book of Lost Things by Cynthia Voigt and Iacopo Bruno. I just started it last night so I am not sure about it yet.

    Also I have been checking out All Our Yesterdays by Cristin Terrill. The beginning is a bit slow, but I have heard a lot of good things about it so I hope it get’s better. 🙂

    • That sounds pretty nice, Stormi! I’m glad you’ve read a first in a series and want to continue 🙂 I really need to read Legend (or maybe it’s the 2nd book I haven’t read yet? I’m confused).

      Thanks for stopping by!

  2. The Boggart by Susan Cooper.
    After a long lost great unlce dies a Canadian family inherits his castle in Scotland. While they love the castle they decide to sell and stay in Canada, but take a few choice items home with them. Unbeknownst to them the family Boggart (a spirit created of wild old magic who likes to play tricks) comes with them hidden in Emily’s roll-top desk.

    Emily and her brother get into a lot of trouble because of the Boggart’s actions, but eventually come to understand who he is.

    I have 90 pages to go. But the author had me emotionally tied to the Boggart in chapter one, so much so that I cried experiencing his grief at his friend’s (the uncle’s) passing. We’re talking tears dripping off my chin crying in 13 pages of material.

  3. Hiya, Lexxie! I hope you had a lovely weekend – that included a big glass of wine! 🙂 I hope your classes are going well so far.

    I’m looking forward to hearing your thoughts on Iron Traitor and Sanctuary. I just finished reading Taliesin Ascendant – the second in a series. It was exciting! And I also read Breathless (review tomorrow) which was only okay. And right now I’m reading Addicted to Ansley, and it’s great!

    I hope you get some good reads in this week – I’m always up for a mystery. 😉 Happy Monday, my friend! *hugs*

  4. I truly understand you, Lexxie. I was inactive for the last few days because I also concentrated on reading. And there are also IRL things that I need to settle. I even forgot to post my Sunday Feature. I was really determined to finish a lot of books.

    And yay to Iron Traitor. I will have to include the Iron Fey series on my TBB list and read it for myself. :p

    And good luck to your classes. I hope you had a very relaxing weekend. 😀

    • I’m glad I’m not the only one being a little less active lately, Charlotte. I promise I won’t disappear, though 🙂

      Oh, yes, The Iron Fey series is awesome! I hope you’ll enjoy it.
