Reading/Want to Read

Jess to Reading  

I’m currently reading:

CONFORMED TO HIS IMAGE, Kenneth Boa. I’m reading it sloooowly because it’s a textbook. And because a lot of the stuff in the early sections is sort of self-explanatory/not-presenting-anything-new-or-old-stuff-in-a-new-light. I am hoping it ‘picks up’ for a textbook, but still a worthy read.

A GATE AT THE STAIRS, Lorrie Moore. I’m over 100p into this and enjoying the slow build and the details and the disaffection, but I don’t know how to feel about the characters. Tassie’s relatable enough but I don’t have any idea how she truly feels about Sarah, or thus, how I truly feel about Sarah. I am hoping it clarifies as we move on.

I WANT to read, so very badly, I am going to walk three miles to the library if I HAVE TO:

HEIST SOCIETY, Ally Carter
BLEEDING VIOLET, Dia Reeves
LIAR, Justine Larbelestier
BEFORE I FALL, Lauren Oliver

Those are all YA and I’ve read the first 50p of the first three and loved them and just, gah, there’s so much good writing in YA lately it’s disgusting. In a good way.

Grown-up books I would like to read right now are pretty standard:
Follow-ups to the four UP’s I reviewed the past couple weeks, next up:
A LOCAL HABITATION, Seanan McGuire (OUT NOW, I just got it)
CURSE THE DARK, Laura Anne Gilman
SPECTRE, Phaedre Weldon (and thanks to Toady playing through Mass Effect, now I giggle at the title)
DEMON BOUND, Caitlin Kittredge

Other books/series I am interested in:
SOULLESS, Gail Corriger
A KISS BEFORE THE APOCALYPSE, Thomas Sniegoski
MAGIC STRIKES, Ilona Andrews

How about you? What are you reading or are on your as-soon-as-I-get-near-a-library lists? :)

    SOULLESS is on my want-to-read list as well. So are NEW BLOOD by Gail Dayton, BROKEN by Shiloh Walker (both of which I have on my shelf, just haven’t gotten to) and SIN UNDONE by Larissa Ione (which is not out yet).
