This was a slow week in reading, but I count it as a success because I finished several thousand words of scholarship essays. I really hate those things.
The winner of IN TOO DEEP will be announced tomorrow. I'm glad I kept track of the entries this time instead of waiting to number them all at the end - there's an incredible number.
Week Two
Kushiel's Scion (Kushiel's Legacy, Book One) by Jacqueline Carey (bought, reread)
Beauty by Robin McKinley (bought)
Kushiel's Justice (Kushiel's Legacy, Book Two) by Jacqueline Carey (bought, reread)
Chalice by Robin McKinley (library)
Dark Desires after Dusk (Immortals After Dark, Book Five) by Kresley Cole (bought, reread)
I enjoy McKinley's earlier works more than her new stuff. CHALICE finished strong, but started slow whereas BEAUTY took awhile to reach the action but was still hard to put down.
And I can't wait for this Tuesday since it's the release of KISS OF A DEMON KING. At least the title isn't easy to confuse like the previous two and the cover is noticably different.
Beauty was a great book, but I really enjoyed Chalice too. My favorite is still Hero and the Crown.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, The Hero and the Crown and The Blue Sword are by far my favorites.
ReplyDeleteI still think you read like a mad woman. If I get two books in ONE week finished, that's a huge deal for me. LOL

It'll slow down to two or less per week once the semester gets going.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read any of McKinley's books, but I've heard such good things that I'm really looking forward to reading one soon. I'm planning on reading The Hero and the Crown sometime this year.
ReplyDeleteI was just looking at r Beauty a few days ago but hadn't heard anything about it that I could remember :)
