What Are You Reading Right Now Part 2
Just started THE RIFT
and it is holding my attention. I just finished another book so still looking for my next read.
So I've read a TON of stuff recently (I'll put a link to my blog when it's up), but I read A List of Cages yesterday. It was FANTASTIC!One of those rare ya books that sees parents as awesome. Warning: it will pull at every heartstring you have and contains graphic physical abuse.
Geez, that book sounds intense. I've never heard of it but I'll take a look now.
I'm still working on
, it is SO creative. I love how much thought Rysa Walker put into the abilities each character has. Very cool!

LOVE the Delphi Effect! Can't wait for the sequel :) A List of Cages is on my TBR, its supposed to be about friendships I think as well, right?

I could say all sorts of things, but I don't want to spoil it...But it's a really good read. :)

I loved the beginning, thought it got a little slow in the middle because her relationship with Aaron felt really forced, but now that she is (view spoiler)I'm loving it again!

I am bouncing, from one book to the next. Now I am back to true crime
and will probably finish it. I used to live in Seattle so I remember this one a bit. It is in my old standby, true crime genre.
I finished the audio of Reamde last night finally. 38+ hours. Yikes! Not at all what I expected but I enjoyed it.
Almost done with my reread of Fatemarked. And about to start a beta read of the 2nd book in The Delphi Effect series. :D
On audio, I started Jurassic Park. (Need that J for my A-Z challenge!)

I started
a couple weeks ago but put it hold when Silence Fallen and Etched in Bone came out. Now I'm reading
and listening to
, although I have not had much time or motivation for either unfortunately.

I agree COMPLETELY. The first third and last third were the best :) I am just about finished, should finish today!

Finished A Conjuring of Light, which was AMAZING!! Picked Carve the Mark back up again so that I can finish that one as well and then I'll be reading Before I Fall.
Hi Everyone!!!February was a fantastic month of reading for me, but I forgot to update here as I was reading along.
Here's a link to my blog if you're interested in seeing what I read. https://eloramitchell.wordpress.com/2...
Hopefully, I'll be better about updating here as March goes on.....

Thank you so much, Karen!! SO GLAD you enjoyed the finished product, your beta feedback was invaluable! The book is selling SO WELL, I am so happy. So far the reviews are coming in really strong, hopefully the trend continues :) Three books are published in the series with two more by the end of the month! There will also be another Origins volume out toward the end of April or early May, but I haven't started writing the 4th full-length novel yet. That one is going to take me a while :)
Wow, looks like everyone is finding some awesome reads :) I finally started
, which has my attention through the first 20% :)

I got really bad about updating on what I'm reading, which is why I just started putting up the link to my blog post instead.

It's so weird. I've felt like it is so much WORK to update what I'm reading, but it's not really. It's just having to update it in so many places. What I really need is WUPHF. ;)
Re-reading ACOTAR before May when the new one comes out. After this I'll read Before I fall and at some point move into ACOMAF.
Hi everyone, it's been a while! :PI've been having a lot of trouble finishing books lately...I have yet to finish a book this year, oops. But right now I'm reading:
Which is great so far!!

Hi David!! Good to see you again too! And ahh I recommend the series, I think you would enjoy them. Cool world-building/characters and they're very addicting. :)

I am debating about that series Brigid - it looks like my friends either really loved book one or were disappointed.
@Heidi--I really liked it. It was a wee bit confusing at first, but the series is really good!!!It's not as good as Six of Crows, but it's got that vibe.

I'm hoping my next read will pull me out of this mini-slump. I suspect it will, because I'm reading
