Well, it's a Manic Monday once again, so it's time for "What Are You Reading?", a meme hosted by J. Kaye. Check it out and tell us what you are reading.Alright, I am inexcusably behind in my What Are You Reading Mondays. Sorry, folks. So I'm going to catch you up real quick, and then get into what I have planned for the week.
Since last we talked, I have read just about everything I had planned, and threw in some utter randomness as well. In no particular order:
Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins
Moon Called by Patricia Briggs, review here

For this week, I have planned to read:
The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss

and maybe a couple of tales from Grimm's Grimmest for Helluva Halloween.

Wow! You managed to read a lot last week! Mine is here: http://rundpinne.blogspot.com/2009/09/what-are-you-reading-monday_14.html
ReplyDeleteGrimm's grimmest? Cool!
ReplyDeleteThat was actually two weeks worht. I hadn't posted a WAYRM in 2 weeks (oops).
ReplyDeleteAnd the Grimm's Grimmest is a little compilation of their most disturbing tales. I did a research paper on fairy tales, and I don't even think the Grimm's are the most disturbing, though they probably are the most violent (One of the brothers -- Wilhelm? -- had puritanical leanings, and didn't like sex in the stories -- so he replaced it with violence to keep things interesting. Yeah...)
Holy hell that is a lot of reads! Nice job, Misty! :-D
ReplyDeleteOh I finished Ash, so we must discuss at some point :-)
Are you reviewing it? I've been meaning to, but haven't.
ReplyDeleteYou had an awesome week! Great list of books.
ReplyDeleteHope you have another great week :0)
All I can say is WOW!
ReplyDeleteOk, this too: Have a good week : )
Loved "Bitten" by Kelley Armstrong. What did you thing of ASH?
ReplyDeleteI was slightly disappointed in Ash, because there were things I thought should.could have been capitalized on, or at least fleshed out more, but for the most part, I liked it. Have you read it?
ReplyDeleteMisty, I did, but was halfway through the book...maybe more before I realized this wasn't a boy/girl love story. What can I say? I'm slow. I think if I had known from the beginning - like had taken the time to read the back cover and understood what the book is about, I would have felt the same. I was sort of caught up in the magical aspect of the book and thought it was great.
