This weekly reading list meme is hosted at Book Date. Join in to see what others are reading and maybe get some ideas of what to read next! Although the Book Date link-up happens weekly, I don't update that often. Usually I do this around the middle of the month, and try to share my monthly bookshelf summary on the last Monday of the month. Here's what I've been working on lately!
I finished reading . . .
A Fatal Illusion by Anna Lee Huber - Kiera and Gage are investigating the unusual highwayman attack on Gage's father. Are his attackers the same band that styles themselves after Robin Hood? And since the motive wasn't robbery, was it revenge or retribution? To complicate matters, Lord Gage is not telling them everything he knows. (Read my review HERE.)
Ticker by Lisa Mantchev - Penny has a clockwork heart that continuously needs rewinding, and a possible love interest to make her heart beat faster. She teams up with her brother and friends in a race to find the inventor of her clockwork heart before his madness causes more death and destruction. (Read my review HERE.)
I'm currently reading . . .
The Vanishing at Castle Moreau by Jaime Jo Wright - there is definitely something strange and frightening going on at the mysterious Castle Moreau, in both timelines. Cleo and Daisy are the two young women, separated by decades, who try to hide from their fears and failures at Castle Moreau, but find that it may not be a place of safety at all.
The Kamogawa Food Detectives by Hisashi Kashiwai - I chose this for my next Kindle read, and just got started. I'm still getting a feel for the characters that have been introduced but it's quite promising.
Wimpy Weak and Woke by John L. Cooper - Working on this a little at a time. I need longer blocks of time to concentrate on it, and I don't have a lot of those right now.
Up Next . . . On the TBR stack . . .
The stack grows faster than my ability to read it, especially lately! No guarantees, but these are the top contenders for me to pick up next:
Voice of the Ancient by Connilyn Cossette
Sisters of Fortune by Anna Lee Huber
On my blogs recently . . .

And here is the weekly bookish question in the Book Blogger Hop, hosted by Billy at Ramblings of a Coffee Addicted Writer.
This Week's Question: On average, how long do you spend writing a review?
My Answer: Well, unfortunately, it's been taking me much to long to get started on reviews! However, once I actually sit down to write, I can usually get it done in about twenty minutes or so. Depending on how many times I'm interrupted or get distracted. I might have to set a timer and see if I'm telling the truth!

I need to get back to Anna Lee Huber's books. I have so many and have only read the first in her Verity series. I just know I will love her Lady Darby series when I do read it. I hope you are enjoying your current reads. The Kamogawa Food Detectives has a cute cover. Have a great weekend, Kym!
ReplyDeleteI read The Kamogawa Food Detectives last month & really enjoyed it. Thanks for linking up with us.
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up for #WOYBS Kym. I like the sound of Ticker and some of the others you've listed here. It's hard to keep up with the growing TBR pile isn't it? Thanks for your suggestions :)
ReplyDeleteThat's a great question about how long each of us spend writing book reviews. I review every single book that I read. Yup, every single one! But how long each review takes me to write can very greatly. To my surprise, a short review can take me longer to write than a full blog post. Why? I have no idea. :(
ReplyDeleteThose books all sound interesting. Thank you for sharing. My TBR pile keeps getting bigger as I see what others are reading.
