Finished

Reviews to come on both of these. I didn't like Breadcrumbs (and I'm still trying to console myself over that disappointment), but I adored Theodosia!

Did Not Finish
More accurately, I put these two on hold. I'm really enjoying both of them and I will finish them, but I have a TON of obligation books that I really need to focus on first.

"Obligation books" Ha! How true that is. The other day I was headed and out grabbed a book (like always, I like to carry a book no matter what - you never know) and looked down and realized I had grabbed the book I WANTED to read instead of the one I was SUPPOSED to read. Thanks, subconscious brain! Lol.
ReplyDeleteHow are you feeling about The Revenant? I'm hoping it's a lot better than Die for Me. I didn't really get the whole hype for that book, but sometimes I think that is publisher induced.
ReplyDeleteOh, and I've totally felt the whole book hype, when I hate the book feeling. It's happened so many times that I kind of avoid hyped books. Especially angel and mermaid ones. It takes a specific recommendation for me to even pick them up now. Poor angels and mermaids. It seems they just don't work in my head.

In the Closet With a Bibliophile
I'm in the other boat - I keep putting my "want to" reads on hold to get through obligation books. Maybe this is the root of the problem.
ReplyDeleteLOL I see what you did this week and I feel like I got nothing done. LOL
ReplyDeleteLoved your discussion topic this week, it was made of awesome as usual.
And I really liked your post for psychetember
Madigan, haha I love it! The beauty of that is you could read it guilt-free because it was all you had available! I carry a book wherever I go too. You never know when you’ll need it!
ReplyDeleteJen, I’m actually really liking The Revenant. It’s NOTHING like Die for Me (which I didn’t like). It’s actually 100% ghost story in a boarding school right now. No zombie-revenants. Hmmmm…the only angel book I can think of that I’ve read and liked is Unearthly.
Logan, I’m in your boat now :( I reorganized my reading schedule and all of September and October will be obligation reading…if I’m good. (I’m going to try to sneak in Hammered by Kevin Hearne because I love that druid).
Alex, Well, really you're seeing the work I've done much earlier. I usually schedule most of my posts so I don't necessarily write them the same week I post them. Glad you like those posts! :D
I LOVE the Theodosia books! Glad to hear you you adored it. Can't wait to read your thoughts :)
