It's Monday, What Are You Reading?

Yay, it's Monday! What are you reading is hosted by One Persons Journey Through a World of Books. Each week we spotlight the books we are reading, planning on reading or just finished reading.

Recently Finished:
Dash & Lily's Book of Dares by Rachel Cohn and David Levithan (review here)
- Unfortunately, this wasn't as good as I thought it would be but I still loved it. 

Currently Reading:
Charlie All Night by Jennifer Crusie
- Such a fun and sexy read. Surprised a book about radio could be so interesting!!

Up Next:
Isle of Night (The Watchers #1) by Veronica Wolff
Vampire's Kiss (The Watchers #2) by Veronica Wolff
- These two aren't contemporary, but I want to read them before Vampire's Kiss is released in March!
- Loved the first book, The Last Thing I Remember. Can't wait to read this one!
Lola & The Boy Next Door by Stephanie Perkins
- Have to borrow this one from a friend, so I'll be picking it up soon!



Hmm. I'm kind of going to take a mini break to read The Watchers series. But I won't post my reviews until the end of February. :)

This Week in Books (001)



  1. Fire Baptized by Kenya Wright (for review on goodchoicereading) 
  2. Vampire's Kiss (The Watchers #2) by Veronica Wolff (for review from publisher)
  3. Isle of Night (The Watchers #1) by Veronica Wolff (Barnes & Noble)
  4. The Long Way Home (Homelanders #2) by Andrew Klavan (Barnes & Noble)
  5. Pleasure Unbound (Demonica #1) by Larissa Ione (Barnes & Noble)
A little more:
-After receiving Vampire's Kiss, I decided I must read the first book before I could read this one. I'd never heard of the book but they sounded interesting. :)
-I've read and loved the first book in the Homelanders series, The Last Thing I Remember... full of action. Non-stop action! It's a fantastic break from all of the paranormal and romance that gets to be too much!
-Fire Baptized is a book I'm actually really looking forward to and will link you to my review when I'm done! :)
-Damaris from Good Choice Reading suggested a Larissa Ione book when I was stuck at Barnes & Noble last night and didn't know what else to get. So, I picked up Pleasure Unbound by her. I'm thinking it may be exactly what I was looking for.

"This Week in Books" is hosted by Alea at Pop Culture Junkie. It's similar to In My Mailbox... but, personally... I like this better. So, I'll be doing this every week or so! :)

Feature & Follow Friday

Feature and Follow Friday is hosted by Parajunkee and Alison Can Read
Featured blog: BookChowDown and Goldilox & The Three Weres! Make sure to check them out!

Okay, so here is the difficult question of the week:
Q: What would your prefer: reading your favorite book over and over again until you got sick of it OR reading 100s of mediocre books? And why?

A: Really!? So difficult. I actually sometimes read a "mediocre book" and end up liking it or at least thinking about it later. Which, anyone who writes wants... A memorable book. So, I guess, I'd read 100s of mediocre books. I do it already. lol. I actually can't think of one favorite book. But I do have a few favorite series so... is that cheating!? :)

Waiting on Wednesday (013) - Until I Die

Until I Die (Revenants #2) by Amy Plum
Expected publication: May 8th, 2012 | HarperCollins
Pages: 352
Genre: YA Paranormal
Summary: Kate and Vincent have overcome the odds and at last they are together in Paris, the city of lights and love.

As their romance deepens there’s one question they can’t ignore: How are they supposed to be together if Vincent can’t resist sacrificing himself to save others? Although Vincent promises that he’ll do whatever it takes to lead a normal life with Kate, will that mean letting innocent people die? When a new and surprising enemy reveals itself, Kate realizes that even more may be at stake—and that Vincent’s immortality is in jeopardy.

In Die for Me, Amy Plum created a captivating paranormal mythology with immortal revenants and a lush Paris setting. Until I Die is poised to thrill readers with more heart-pounding suspense, spellbinding romance, and a cliff-hanger ending that will leave them desperate for the third and final novel in the series

Why I'm excited: I just recently read and adored the first book in the Revenants series, Die For Me (review here). Can't wait to get my hands on this book and its gorgeous cover!! :-)

Waiting on Wednesday is hosted by Breaking the Spine. What are you featuring this week!?
