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.
I’m down to eight books left to read to reach my goal of 150 for the year! The week before Christmas is out for reading, since my dad and kid sister will be visiting me, so I really have about 2 weeks to get the reading done. Bring it on!
Finished:
Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell
The Devil in Silver by Victor LaValle
The Lives We Lost by Megan Crewe
Continuing to read:
Live by Night by Dennis Lehane
The Passage by Justin Cronin (audiobook) — I have about 18 more hours to go on this one! I feel like the story could use some editing, since it tends to ramble.
Hoping to finish:
Blasphemy by Sherman Alexie
The Archived by Victoria Schwab
Paper Valentine by Brenna Yovanoff
What are you reading this week?
Best wishes on reaching your reading goal for this year!
Thanks!
I saw Paper Valentine on NetGalley and I thought it looked interesting. I will have to check back for your review to see what you thought of it! All of the books you finished sound like stories I would read, I will have to check them out, especially Eleanor and Park. Have a great week! And awesome about your goal! Congrats!
So far I’m liking Paper Valentine. There’s a ghost, plus a serial killer, so I’m intrigued.
Oh I have The Passage on Mt TBR. I have only heard good things about it and the next book The Twelve.
You have an impressive reading list. I am impressed.
I have The Twelve on standby for whenever I can finish the first book.
The ramblings in The Passage was one of the reasons I couldn’t get into it. I would recommend The Strain trilogy by Guillermo del Toro and Chuck Hogan.
Yup, read The Strain trilogy and enjoyed it Still, to me nothing beats a good Stephen King book, like The Stand.
I have Eleanor and Park to read soon as well
Wishing you a wonderful reading week

Eleanor and Park was really sweet, so I hope you enjoy it.
Best of luck with reaching your reading goal. We also have the same problem as we haven’t really nailed down all of our reading challenges as yet, we shall see how that goes. Most of the books you shared here are unfamiliar to me, but they all sound intriguing. Have fun with your reading week!
Hope you reach your goals!
Yes, The Passage! It did not need to be so freaking long. They could have tightened that up and made it so much better and quicker.
Seriously. I find myself zoning out at times.
I have Elenor and Park on my kindle.. I hope to get to it soon!
Here’s what I’m reading
Hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
That is an outstanding goal! You have inspired me to try to read more in 2013. Have a great week!

Yay! You’d be surprised how many books you can read if you have a goal. It’s really increased my reading.
Good luck on finishing your goal!
Have a lovely week
Thanks! You too.
Good luck on your reading goal. I set my goal at 50 this year and passed it, but not by much! You’re doing great!
Good luck! You can totally pull this off
ooo you too? I have 12 more to read and I am curious about Paper Valentine too . Enjoy your week !
