Bookmarked... #28

The return of the (mostly) weekly post letting you all know what I'm reading and have lined up for the week! It's my own version of Sheila at Book Journey's It's Monday What Are You Reading (now hosted by Kathryn at Book Date) and I have her permission to rename it for my own nefarious reasons...

I'm slowly getting out of the habit of picking up all the shiny new pretties as soon as I get them and instead, I'm reaching to the back of my bookshelves and starting to read more of my poor books that have been languishing for years! #ShelfLove is going quite well so far but it does mean there will probably be quite an eclectic mix of books over the coming weeks and months. Here's what I've been reading over the last couple of weeks.

Yet again more than a month has passed between my Bookmarked... posts. I can't seem to get organised these days but there's always hope! I've read some good books recently and LFCC & YALC has been and gone. I am definitely going to write a post about that this year, especially as I've read on quite a few blogs things that resonated with me hugely! On to the books! I've read some great books recently, reviews of which are in the making - I promise...

Finished

The Apprentice Witch - James Nicol

Blackfin Sky - Kat Ellis

The Creeper Man - Dawn Kurtagich

Hold Still - Nina LaCour

The King Of Rats - Melinda Salisbury

Lying About Last Summer - Sue Wallman

Natural Causes - James Oswald

Something Wicked - Kerry Wilkinson

Under Rose-Tainted Skies - Louise Gornall

Currently Reading

Lydia - Natasha Farrant

The Nowhere Emporium - Ross MacKenzie

Rat Queens Vol. 2 - Kurtis J Wiebe, Roc Upchurch, Stjepan Šejić

This Savage Song - Victoria Schwab

Put On Hold

A Gathering Of Shadows - V E Schwab

This decision was not made lightly and was made in accordance with advice from the author herself! Basically Victoria (I've met her 4 times now, I feel like I can call her that...) noticed what page I was on when she was signing my copy of AGoS on Friday, said that I was about to read her most favorite part of the book and that I might be better off waiting to finish it when A Conjuring Of Light is not SIX. MONTHS. AWAY.

No idea... Any suggestions?

Book Haul #79

Stacking the Shelves is a weekly event hosted on Tynga's Reviews where we can share what new books we've picked up this past week be they bought, borrowed or downloaded. There are also lots of other 'book haul' memes out there for you to choose from!

Another good week, just two books in the mail! And only three books for review but one of them? Eeek! I can't believe my WoW choice this week popped up on Edelweiss the next day and of course I was going to download it :) And I got approved for Glimpse! I'm rather obsessed by the story of the Highwayman's Daughter, absolutely love the song version by Loreena McKennitt too, so I'm excited to read Kendra's re-imagining of the tale! Over the next few weeks my book haul posts should be fairly non-existent, I'm saving like mad for YALC in July and LonCon in August so I'm determined to cut down my book buying for at least a couple of months. It's not like I don't have thousands of books to keep me going...
