It's Monday! What are you reading (46)

It's Monday! What Are You Reading, hosted by Book Journey, is where we gather to share what we have read this past week and what we plan to read this week. It is a great way to network with other bloggers, see some wonderful blogs, and put new titles on your reading list.






Here's what I read this past week:





Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater (Review)
Linger by Maggie Stiefvater (Review)
Num8ers by Rachel Ward (Review)


I read the first two books in the Wolves of Mercy Falls Trilogy. They are a really interesting take on the werewolf lore as it seemed more scientific rather than magical. I really enjoyed the romance between the two main characters. I will say that Shiver was phenomenal, but linger was just not up to the same caliber. I'm hoping the final installment will be more like Shiver as I really enjoyed it.

I also read Num8ers by Rachel Ward. I think the title is really different with the number 8 instead of a B, and that is probably what most drew me to this book. It was a pretty decent read, and the concept was intriguing. I cannot imagine having to live like Jem and knowing when people will die. I would have lost my sanity a very long time ago, but she stays strong and that is incredibly admirable. I loved the fate vs choice issues, as that is a favorite theme of mine. I think I'm drawn to that type of conflict because even I don't know which I really believe in.

My Upcoming List:

Captivate by Carrie Jones
Entice by Carrie Jones
Spellbound by Cara Lynn Shultz (Early Review)
