What I’m Reading (22)

Hey all, Dani here.

Welcome to yet another Wednesday post of talking about books: the ones I’ve recently finished, the ones I’m currently reading, and the ones I’m hoping to start soon. Can you believe that I’ve been doing this post for 22 weeks now? I’m actually quite pleased by that.

Oh, and I am working out the details for my giveaway for when I reach 500 followers. I need to figure out how to set up a Rafflecopter or something, but the prize is probably going to be something like $20 worth of books from Book Depository, which depending on how you pick your books probably means that you can pick two. So, look for more information on the giveaway coming soon, because I am getting closer and closer to this huge milestone follower count. Thank you for stumbling across my blog and deciding to stay. I really appreciate it.

For my recently finished reads, I managed to complete The Emerald Sea by Richelle Mead (which was amazing, and I plan to have a review up soon). I then decided to read All of This is True by Lygia Day Penaflor, which was a good read, but not as good as I expected it to be.

So, I didn’t make it through as many books as I had originally planned on reading during my time off from work, but I guess that’s all right. We watched a couple of movies, and that was pretty fun. I had a nice relaxing time off, so hopefully I can make it through the next few weeks of work without issue and then I’ll be having a wonderfully nerdy vacation/birthday trip.

Anyway, I’m still working on reading Save the Date by Morgan Matson, though I brought it with me to work today, so it’s possible I’m finishing it just as this post goes live, so I don’t know. This is the slowest I have ever been with a Morgan Matson novel, and I have no idea why. Okay, so maybe the setup took a little while, at least for me, because at around the halfway point it started to get more interesting. The whole story takes place over the course of one weekend. It is a 423 page (or something like that) book, and the first like 216 pages are just what happens on Friday. Maybe I don’t like the pacing? It’s still a cute story, and I’m sure I’ll be loving it by the time I finally close that back cover, but for now it’s just okay.

I’m also just at the beginning of Terminal Alliance by Jim C Hines, which was one of my most anticipated releases for summer 2017, so I have no idea why I’m just starting to read it now. It follows a main character who is a janitor on a spaceship, and honestly that’s all I really needed to know. I’m willing to read anything by Jim C. Hines because I think he is a great author. Plus, I guess this is a good time to be reading this one because the second one should be coming out in the near future. This book also counts as a read for Sci-Fi July, which is being hosted by Kathy over at Books and Munches, so yay!

Finally, there’s the books I’m hoping to start reading soon. And if I actually did manage to finish Save the Date today then it’s likely that I’ve already started on Little Do We Know by Tamara Ireland Stone. I’ve read all of her books, so I’m excited to see what happens in this one. Then there’s this lovely historical fiction I’ve been putting off for a couple of years now. Maybe you’ve heard of it…And I Darken by Kiersten White. The final book in the trilogy was released yesterday—and yes, my copy is already on its way. So I guess now I am finally ready to read it. I’ve been wanting to for a while, but something held me off, like I knew that I would want to binge-read them all. So, I believe it is finally time, and I am looking forward to finally meeting Lada and Radu.

I suppose that is all for today. Are you reading anything good right now? Are you anticipating any upcoming releases? Let’s talk books in the comments. As always, thanks for reading and I’ll be back soon with more bookish content.
