I'm reading a lot of non-YA right now -- I just finished
and I'm going to start
tomorrowAlso
And then I still need to get back to
Right now I'm in the middle of so many books! First, I'm finishing up a very awesome beta read! Then I'm reading
with Karen (so good!) Also reading
which started off slow for me, but I'm starting to really get into it now! Also rereading
On my Kindle I'm reading
for my Around the World challenge. Not sure what I think yet, this is a mystery/thriller set in Grenada.And listening to
on audio. And loving this one!Oh, and I'm finishing up
. This has all the lyrics to all the songs, but also has a lot of background info on how Hamilton was made, from conception to finish. Really really interesting. And I've been listening to he Spotify soundtrack while I read :)
Looooove lovelovelove the Hamilton book. I actually just bought the Hamilton Mixtape -- ON CASSETTE <3 Can't believe LMM went so old-school but I'm really glad he did.

The cassette player in my car is iffy at best. But I loved that he did that. So much fun!
And yay Jenny! What do you think of the music???
Currently, I am reading
, and have not quite got to the part where the sisters are actually in Caraval, but it is well worth the buy. It is one of 16 books I picked up this month.

with Karen (so good!) Also reading [bookc..."I adored Carry On - I listened to it one audio and loved the narrator so I think that helped my rating. I know not everyone liked that book but I really enjoyed it for some reason. It was like a mix between Eleanor & Park and Harry Potter with a little Will Grayson Will Grayson mixed in :)

I didn't know you could get it in cassette!! I still have an old walkman that works really well. I may have to get that!
LOVE the music!

I'm hoping to get the vinyl too but when I saw it was released on cassette I had to have it, just for the throwback aspect :D

That's awesome! I fell in love with the music by song 2. I've been pushing it on everyone I know. Most turn away as soon as I mention hip hop. "You mean it's about the founding father's and it contains hip hop and rap???" Oh well. :/
Its like old school hip-hop though! The really awesome kind :)
Jenny wrote: "Its like old school hip-hop though! The really awesome kind :)"Isn't it?? I'm sure they'd like it if they'd give it a chance, but they have no interest. Oh well. :(
P.S. I may have to just disown them. haha. :)
Y'all should check out The Door Keeper! It's a new adult fantasy novel but with a YA format. I'm a little bias considering I wrote it, but I'd love some feedback! Looking to improve moving forward.

on audiobook as well 2-3 cozies in print and on my kindle.
I'm overloaded at the moment too Heidi! I wound up putting The Naming back on the shelf for later, but I'm determined to get through
plus rereading
Okay, over the weekend I finished
which was a cute cozy mystery, very funny. Also finished
which was just adorable, and
which I really liked.Right now reading
which is cute so far, and
which I don't know what I think yet (pretty early on in the book. ) Also going to be starting
soon.
I am currently (as always) reading over 10 books at a time, but I am MOSTLY into Slammerkin by Emma Donoghue at the moment. It is very deeply engrossing and is taking over my other readings, currently. I will not be able to jump between my other books until this one is finished- which it soon will be!! --Jen from Quebec :0)
Blew through
in one sitting last night
Finished
and it was pretty cute.
was really good and I liked it. It had a great twist (although I figured it out) Also finished
and I liked it, classic Sarah Dessen.Right now I'm reading
and so far this is a really interesting look at women's journalism in the late 1800s. These women were BRAVE! Also reading
and loving it!
Mod
Not that far into the book, but at least I'm finally starting it.

YAY!
Ashley *Hufflepuff Kitten* wrote: "Blew through in one sitting last night"I take it you liked it?
Mod
It is really awesome so far! Its really a YA Paranormal mystery in some ways, but it feels so FRESH AND ORIGINAL, I can't think of anything to compare it to! Love the writing in it so far. I'm about halfway through it.

Absolutely incredible. I read from 8pm-3am and didn't care in the slightest that I had work the next day :D

Heidi (Yup. Still here.) wrote: "Ashley I read your review and then added that book to my tbr pile - which is a BIG deal since it is my goal not to add a lot more new books to read this year!"WOOOO!!!
Finished my reread of
. I didn't think it was possible to love Scott Lynch any more than I already did <33Onward to Mercy #3
currently reading
and it's good so far
Mod
I finished
and I loved it, 4.5 stars!
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.
Mod
Heidi (Yup. Still here.) wrote: "I love well written YA parents Elora!!"Me too! Although I may be a biased since I am a parent. ;)
Mod
I really want to read that book! I agree, I love seeing well written parents. Its a gem in a YA book!Although I do have to admit, if you are looking at parents through a teen's eyes (which in most YA we are) I wouldn't expect to see "reality." Teens and parents misunderstand each other constantly, its just a part of life. So while the parents may not be bad in a lot of cases, it comes across that way because that's how the MC of the book is seeing them.
