What Will I Be Reading This Week? 3/23/15 - 3/29/15

Last week was an epic fail with reading for me. I did finish The Secret of Raven Point by Jennifer Vanderbees. Let's see if this week can be better!

Over Spring Break I was able to begin The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield. Basically, the novel is about an author, who has written 12 novels, telling someone else her 13th tale about her own personal life that includes family secrets and such. I'm about 120 pages into the novel, and I'm just getting to the point where the author begins to reveal some secrets. 

After I finish The Secret of Raven Point I'll be picking up The Soul Thief by Majanka Verstraete. Can we just take a moment for that summary? The typical car crash is there, yes, but what about all the girls dying mysteriously? I definitely want to find out what is going on in that department. 

Last but certainly not least is Material Girls by Elaine Dimopoulos. This one caught my attention, because it centers around the fashion industry, an industry that we find ourselves constantly wrapped up in, and basically calls us out for being lured in to the "cult" of fashion. I thought it was a unique twist to the novels out there for young adults. 

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I am able to get through these this week! Let me know what all of you will be reading this week!

Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a nice relaxing weekend! For those who live in the Midwest, I hope you took advantage of the warm weather we were greeted with this past weekend. We may be rejuvenated from the weekend, but are our reading goals rejuvenated? Let's take a look at what I plan to read this week!

I barely started to read The Secret of Raven Point by Jennifer Vanderbes this past weekend. I think I may be 40ish pages in, but I can already tell that I'm going to enjoy this one. I'm loving the way Vanderbes is writing how progression of time is taking place since it is a novel that takes place over several years. Look forward to a review this week on it!

After I finish The Secret of Raven Point I'll be picking up The Soul Thief by Majanka Verstraete. Can we just take a moment for that summary? The typical car crash is there, yes, but what about all the girls dying mysteriously? I definitely want to find out what is going on in that department.

I'm excited to begin and finish all of these adventures in the coming week. Look forward to reviews on all of these in the coming week or two. I look forward to hearing about the books you all plan on reading this week! 

What Will I Be Reading This Week? 3/2/15 - 3/8/15

It's Monday!!! A fresh start to the next seven days where anything can happen. A little daunting, right? We all groan when Mondays come along, because once Sunday night hits we begin mindlessly thinking up lists of things that we have to do this week. We have to exercise. We have to buy groceries. We have to  complete five hours of homework for the next five nights. The list goes on. BUT. The one great thing about Mondays is that we are given the opportunity to plan out our reading goals for the week. Shall we begin?

I am currently reading All the Bright Places by Jennifer Niven. I'm only a 100 pages in, but I am loving it! Finch and Violet's friendship is just beginning to develop, and just the humor that Niven uses oh my goodness.

Once I finish All the Bright Places, I will move on to finishing Four Rubbings by Jennifer Hotes. Basically, a group of friends go rub gravestones on Halloween night for fun. They keep the rubbings, but soon after strange things begin occurring. Parents start acting weird about the rubbings, but there's something that keep the kids determined to find the meaning behind one of the rubbings. I'm also about a 100 pages into this novel as well. I'm liking it so far, but I am really interested in delving deeper into why one specific gravestone rubbing is so mysterious. 

I honestly do not know too much about this novel, except it's a romance that takes place in 1943 as the main character searches for her brother who is labeled MIA. I am a sucker for historical fiction, especially when they are centered around a war...I know that's morbid. Hopefully, I will be able to start and finish The Secret of Raven Point by Jennifer Vanderbes before the week is up!

I just noticed that all three books that I am going to be reading are written by authors with Jennifer as their first name. I have a pretty busy week, so I don't want to set my sights too high with reading. I hope everyone has a great week, and feel free to share with me what you'll be reading this week!
