What I've Been Reading and What's Up Next?

My poor blog has been silent, and I know that's no way to be when you're trying to develop content and build a decent following, but that's about to change since I'm now working less, and less can be more:  more time to read, more time to review, more time to blog, more time for art, dance, biking.  I could go on forever!

But anyway, here are a few books I've been reading:

Daughter of Smoke and Bone, by Laini Taylor  I couldn't believe my good fortune at getting an advanced readers copy.  Laini Taylor knows how to spin a tale.  Her imagination is a wondrous thing, and her writing skill is exceptional.   Did I love it?   Review forthcoming.

Chime by Franny Billingsly  *Creative goodness*

If I Stay by Gayle Forman  *Un-put-downable, heart-in-a-vise, tear jerker*

The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brien  *Greatness, heart-wrenching, a new classic, must read*

Song of the Sparrow by Lisa Ann Sandell  *Beautiful, lyrical*

Keeping Corner by Kashmira Seth  *Interesting*

Stay tuned for reviews!

What should I read next?  Help me out by clicking this form.  (This is my first experience with google documents, something I've been excited to try out)

Be well,

  1. I am not blogging at the moment, but hope to be doing so again soon. No worries about not posting much. Your blog is in my google reader. ;)

    I voted for Harry Potter because you really need to see the final movie sooner vs later. It is full of awesomeness!

  2. So happy to hear that you read Chime! I can't wait to read your review! I just got Daughter of Smoke and Bone last week and I can't wait to read it!! Also, I love If I Stay and Where She Went is just as amazing, if not more!

    I also voted for Harry. Plus book 3 is where the series starts getting amazing!

  3. The Things They Carried is a favorite of mine. It's one of the absolute best war books I've ever read.

    Haven't read Daughter of Smoke and Bone, but the title is breathtaking.
