It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? #66

It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? is a weekly meme hosted by Sheila at Book Journey meant to highlight books you read in the past week, and what you’re planning on reading this week.

So, I haven’t posted for a few weeks, and it’s because I’ve just been too tired. I needed a break, and I took it, so now I’m posting again! I’m also now caught up on my reading challenge according to Goodreads! Yay.

  1. A break can be a good thing, looks like you were still busy reading though

    Have a great reading week!

    You have still got through quite a bit of reading. Enjoy the rest of your books.

  3. Jennifer says:

    I just put Psycho USA on my mental tbr list a week ago or so. I’ll look forward to hearing what you think of it.

    That’s a nice long list you have there, whoo hoo!

    Have a great week of reading!

      I’m really enjoying Psycho USA so far. It’s a good one to read in small chunks, and the writing is authoritative, yet easy to read.

    Although I listen to audiobooks on a regular basis, I’ve never tried putting one on my ipod.

    I had a fantastic week of reading so it’s really difficult to pick a favorite book. I’m going to have go with a fan girl response and say the best (out of an extremely good set of books) was The Girl Who Fell Beneath Fairyland and Led the Revels There by Catherynne M. Valente. Please come and see what else I’m reading.

    • Audrey Audrey says:

      I love putting them on my iPod. I don’t really have any other way of listening to them, since I don’t own a CD player and rarely drive in my car for more than short distances.

      I’m looking forward to reading The Girl Who Fell…, although the title is kind of long :-) The first book was enjoyable.

  5. Deondra says:

    The White Forest looks intriguing….

  6. Nothing wrong with a blogging break, it’s good to stop for a bit when the time or energy isn’t there. You have been reading a lot of great books, it looks like. I loved 11/22/63 myself, I wonder what the audio was like for you.

    Have a good week!

    • Audrey Audrey says:

      The audio of 11/22/63 was great! I switched to it when I realized the book was just too big to carry to work with me each day. It was killing my shoulder.

  7. Hi there! I see a few familiar titles and authors here. I’ve heard a lot about Libba Bray’s Beauty Queen and I’ve been intrigued by her style of writing as many book bloggers seem to have enjoyed it. I see that you’ve also been reading a lot of Stephen King books. I had a Stephen King phase back during my university years, I must have almost all of his titles then. I didn’t get a chance to read Mile 81 though. Enjoy your week!

    • Audrey Audrey says:

      I’m really enjoying The Diviners so far. It’s a lot of fun. Mile 81 was pretty blah. I’d skip it if I hadn’t read it already.

  8. So many of these books sound good!! I will have to read The Diviners for sure, I love Libba Bray. The White Forest also sounds like one I have to read, I am a fan of books with crumbling estates and a magic.

    Have a great week!

    • Audrey Audrey says:

      Libba Bray is great, and this book is so fun so far. I love the Roaring 20s lingo :-) The White Forest ended up being much more magic heavy than I thought it would be, but I enjoyed it.

  9. Stephanie says:

    I think I’d actually enjoy Psycho USA. :)

  10. We all need a break sometimes.

    Happy reading!

  11. Witches looks soooo good! I’ve been dyin’ to read it myself. Did you like it?? :)

      It was fair. It’s really more of a kid’s book, and rehashed a lot of what I’d already known about Salem. The illustrations are fantastic, though.
