Books I Finished This Week:
This is the fourth book I have read by Lisa Unger. The last two books were much better than the first two in my opinion. This one was a really gripping thriller. I was riveted the whole time and really wanted to know what actually happened. If you like mysteries, this is a great one to read.
I just finished listening to
Sapphire Blue. I love how these books have a mix of science fiction and humor. I found myself laughing out loud multiple times while listening to this book. I am really interested in reading the last book in the trilogy as soon as I can get my hands on it. I highly recommend this one.
More Than This is a very complex and thought-provoking book. As I expect of Patrick Ness, he really made me think about many aspects of life. I don't think I liked this one as much as I loved all of his other books, but I still liked it a lot. I think I will be thinking about this one for a while.
What I am Currently Reading:
I started listening to Where Things Come Back, which is one of the Printz books. So far, it is an interesting story. I also started reading a netgalley of The Body in the Woods by April Henry. I love mysteries so I am sure I will like this one.
What's Next?
I might start reading another Printz book. I have I Am The Messenger and The Monstrumologist on my shelves. Other than that, I am not sure what I might feel like reading. I have two weeks until spring break and I am really hoping the weeks will go fast!
What are you reading this week? I would love to hear from you in the comments.
I need to read the last of Gier's trilogy as well. I really enjoyed the other two. I really enjoyed The Monstrumologist when I read it a couple years ago, I never finished that series either. I Am the Messenger is one of my all time favorite books, highly recommend it!

I'm listening to I Am the Messenger on audio right now and really liking it. I bought the new Patrick Ness as soon as it came out.... and it's been gathering dust on a shelf ever since. So many great books I want to read! I still need to finish the Chaos Walking series, but I want to reread the first two before reading the third. I think I need more reading time!
ReplyDeleteVery jealous that you got to read Sapphire Blue and More Than This--I NEED to read them both. I loved Ruby Red and everything else Patrick Ness has written.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy Monstrumologist. SUPER creepy book!
Happy reading this week :)
Hi there Andrea, I am jealous that you've already finished reading More than This - I own a copy of it but haven't gotten around to reading it yet. Hopefully before the year ends. I am also excited to read The Crane wife. :)
