New books and what's gonna happen next!

Hello everyone! How are you guys? It's been a while hasn't it?
I've been really busy. I know I always say that but it's true. Summer is here and I can't wait for all the fun I'm gonna have! Not to mention the summer reading. ;)
Anyway I went back to the library today for the first time in a while. I updated my Goodreads so you should see it in my Goodreads sidebar, but I'll tell you what I got anyway.

I got the next Lady Emily book, "Tears of Pearl" by Tasha Alexander.  I know, I know... I said I didn't really like the first three but I'm gonna read the forth one anyway. You can't just go through the first three without reading the rest! haha
I've heard good and bad stuff about this book so I'm hesitant about getting into it.
I also got "A Duty To The Dead" by Charles Todd. I had this book on my TBR shelf for a while, and I keep seeing it everywhere! I saw it as I was looking though the shelves trying to think of books I wanted to read on my Goodreads. I couldn't get on the computers because I had a fine, so I had to think of them off the top of my head. I'll give this book a shot. It seems cool!
Then I got this really cool graphic novel of Pride and Prejudice. It sooo awesome. The cover is like a magazine, with captions like on a magazine. Inside, it's just the normal Pride and Prejudice novel! It's epic. I can't wait to read it! :D

Then I got some non-fiction books, which I never get. I usually go strait to the fiction section but I figured I'd look and see what I could find. I found "Classical Music For Dummies". These books are great! My sister Lauren got one on piano playing.
It's an awesome book. It came with a CD to listen to also!
The other book is called "The Looks Book: A whole new approach to beauty, body image, and style". One of those girly books I like to get. hehe

Anyway I can't wait to read all of them. I'm gonna go read them now, but first let me tell you what my plans are for this summer.
I'm gonna skip the new blog thing. I already blog about random things on my Tumblr account and it's just too much for me right now to have another blog to update. Sorry. :(
If you care and want to follow my random posts, here's a link to my Tumblr: http://bookworm980.tumblr.com/
Also, I'm gonna be updating this blog on and off. It won't be regular thing cause I'm not gonna be reading a whole lot. I was thinking about doing a review on all of "The Hunger Games" but it's really hard not give away spoilers.... I might figure out a way but I don't know yet. 
Did I tell you I finished "Mockingjay"? I think I posted it on my Tumblr but not on here. I wasn't real happy with it. For multiple reasons. But I'll go into that in a later blog. :P

Okay, I think that's it for me. I hope you guys have a wonderful summer! <3

Hello!

Again, it's been a while but I wanted to update you on some things.
I'm sure that most of my followers have left and got tired of waiting for me to post something but the wait is over!
 I recently went to Barnes & Noble and bought a book. I've had it on my TBR shelf for a while. It's "Jane Eyre" by Charlotte Bronte. I read it in about two days. It was good! Very dark and gothic. I loved it!
I also finished "The Meaning Of Night" a while ago but I forgot to update you on it. It turned out to be a really good book! Like I said, I didn't think it would be good. But it was! The writing was really interesting. Different from most books.... I guess I'm used to romance novels. This book was definitely not one of those. It was like the hero wasn't exactly a hero. He had secrets and wasn't entirely the good guy. It was a nice twist to the way things usually are in books. I really felt sorry for him most of the time. haha it was really good. You should read it one day. : )

Okay now for the non-book related stuff.
You all have been reading this blog for quite some time now. This has been the only one I've had. Which was great when I first started out, because I was new to this whole blogging thing.
I think I'm gonna make another blog.
It's not gonna be about books though. I think it's just gonna be where I post random blogs about me. It's nice to have a blog where I can talk about my book obsession. Because despite the scarce blog posts, I still love books. It's just that having a blog about one thing can be a pain. Don't get me wrong, this blog is not going away. I still have a whole bunch of books that I want to read. But I'm gonna do another one on random stuff. You don't have to follow it if you don't want to, that's fine by me. My life is kinda boring. hahaha I just wanted to let you know that's what I'm gonna be doing. I'll give you the link as soon as I make it for anyone who wants to follow.

Anyway, I hope you guys all have a great week, and happy reading! <3

I'm back! (Once again)

Oook wow. It's been a while, has it not? You know, I used to read all the time. Then I could write reviews and stuff but I'm just not reading! And it's sad. So this is the plan: I'm going to read all the books I've read half way through, and finish them. Then I'm going to work on my TBR pile, because even as I'm not reading, it's still getting bigger. I just need to start reading again along with other things.
Well in book news, (the only book news I have) I recently acquired "The Meaning Of Night" by Michael Cox from a friend, so I've been reading that. It's really good so far! I kinda expected that I would read a little bit of it and get bored like all the other books I've been reading lately, but it's not getting boring. If anything it's getting more interesting, and I didn't expect that.
Actually, I have more book news. I also started "The Hound of the Baskervilles" by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. It's been sitting on my Dad's bookshelf for a while, so I took it and started reading. Other than that, I have no other books I'm reading. Which again, is sad. I need to get back into the swing of things.
Well I think that's it for now. I'll update you when I have more news. : )

Updates and my thoughts on "The Grand Sophy" by Georgette Heyer

Well I just got this sudden urge to blog, so I'm going to!

 For some reason, (and I think I've mentioned this before once) that when I see a book I want to read, I put it on my TBR shelf, and once I see it too many times and say I'm going to read it, I don't want to read it anymore. It's weird. I guess I just get sick of looking at it, so I'm not interested anymore. Which is odd, I know. I mean, I get a book that I've never seen before, and read it quickly but it takes me a week to finish a book that is about the same size, that I've been wanting to read for a while now. I don't know what my problem is. haha

Also I haven't got "Mockingjay" yet but when I do, I'm still going to do a series book review. Cant wait!

I don't know if I told you but I went to the library and got "Bellfield Hall" by Anna Dean. I've been reading that too, although I haven't got far in it. I'm sure I'll have to take it back soon, so I need to start reading it again. It's kinda hard though, when your Mom brings home a Georgette Heyer book home from the library, to read any other book.  She said I would like it, so I sat down and read it in two days. 

The Heyer book my Mom brought home was "The Grand Sophy". I think it's one of the most entertaining romance novels I've ever read. and I've read some pretty funny ones too. This book was witty, entertaining, and cute. I looooved it! It was written at just the right pace, it was quite funny and exciting. I've already read one of Georgette Heyer's books but I don't really remember it. It was one of those books my Mom tried to get me to read when she was trying to get me off my Twilight obsession. I think it was called "Venetia". I remember liking it. I want to read it again, so I can get a better opinion on it. 

I was reading some of the reviews on "The Grand Sophy" and this one girl said and I'm gonna quote her: "This is a romance novel that isn't a romance novel." I totally agree with this sentence. It was romantic yes, but it kinda wasn't. Sophy is constantly doing things to annoy the hero. But when you read it, you'll see that she never does anything without good reason or without thinking it thorough. She's not afraid to speak her mind, and she was the only one who could stick up to the hero. She wasn't really afraid of anyone, and I think that's what I liked most about her. Overall, I loved the book. I'm definitely going to read more Georgette Heyer books in the future. :D

Updates once again.

Soooo wow. It's been pretty long since I've blogged and I just want to apologize for the irregular posts. I'm not really good at keeping a schedule. haha
So now I'm gonna update you on a few things. Well our home internet has been out for a week now, and I haven't been able to get back on until now. So that's one reason I haven't been blogging. The other reason is that I just have no time anymore. I've been pretty busy, and keeping a book blog is a lot of work. But I enjoy blogging a lot, so I'm not gonna quit, it's just gonna slow down a lot more. I simply cannot be the regular book blogger. Not only are you writing book reviews, your also getting books to read from publishers, and weekly events... There's a lot more that goes on. Me, this was just a way to rant about my book obsession. So this blog doesn't really hold contests, or gets books from publishers, I kinda just post when I want to. That's the good thing about having a book blog. It's up to you. : )

Well on a book note, my Mom got me the first Hunger Games book! I read it in one and half days. Three words: It. Was. Amazing. I loved it!! Then Mom got me the second book and I read that in one day. I have yet to read the third one. Hopefully I can get it soon and read it. I'm excited. I think I'll do a series book review on them. I have my thoughts on them but I'd rather do a review. I haven't done one of those in a while!
Another book I've recently read is "Ten Things I Love About You" by Julia Quinn. This was another book that was really good. It was a nice light read, and it was just what I wanted to read at the time. Very cute; I loved it.
Well I think that's all I have to update you on right now. Once I read "Mockingjay" I'll do a series book review. Until then, happy reading! <3

Musing Mondays and other stuff.

Well, again I skipped a week.  I just keep slacking! Well before I forget again, I'll do Musing Monday's right now and get to the other stuff later cause it's not as important.

Hosted by MizB at Should Be Reading
I had to use this picture again. It's so pretty!

Today's musing asks:

How far along are you in your current read before you start thinking about what you'll read next?


It depends on how good the book is. If it's really good, and it has more books in the series, I'm going to wonder when I can read the next one. But if it's a stand alone novel and I kinda like it, at about the end I start to think about what's next. Usually I don't worry about it too much until later or when I finish the book.

Now! Time for the other stuff.

I recently re-read the whole Julia Grey series by Deanna Raybourn again because I was bored. ( I don't know if I told you about this or not.) 

I just got done with "The Dark Enquiry" last night. The problem with these books is their endings. They always leave you hanging! It gets me mad, because she doesn't explain at all what's going to happen in the next book. She gives you hints and that all you get. Now I have to wait for 2013 for the next one because she's currently doing another stand alone novel. So I'll just have to be patient, :(

Now I'm just going to continue to read The Way of The Shadows until I either go back to the library or I find another book to read. Orrrr I could read the giant Sherlock Holmes book I have on my bookshelf right now. ;)

Updates!

Wow, I haven't posted since January 2. That's two weeks...I am a sad excuse of a blogger. But I have been pretty busy lately so I guess I have a reason. :P

Anyway, I got quite a few things to update you on.

First, I finished "The Book of Fires" by Jane Borodale. It was a pretty good book! Kinda dark, and interesting. The writing style was different from what I'm used to but I didn't mind. This book has tons of things about it that I could spoil, so I'm not really gonna go into detail about it. What I can tell you is that it was really good, but don't expect it to be all butterflies and rainbows. There are some happy parts but it is pretty dark. Overall it was pretty good. :)

Second, I got some books from my library that I thought would work out great, but didn't. I tried reading "A Beautiful Blue Death" by Charles Finch but I couldn't get into it. Same with "Maisie Dobbs" by Jacqueline Winspear. I just could not get into it! Maybe they didn't have the action, or adventure I was looking for... or maybe I just didn't care enough about the characters. I didn't have time to figure it out because they were library books, so I had to take them back. Maybe one day, I'll try them again. It wasn't like they were bad books either, but I think I was looking for something and didn't find it in these books.

Third, I'm still reading "The Way Of Shadows" by Brent Weeks. I like it so far, but I haven't really read much of it. It's very much like "Name Of The Wind" except the styles of writing are different. This book is more fast paced, where "Name Of The Wind" is kinda slow. I haven't really read much but that's what I'm getting from this book so far. I have a few problems with the book, but maybe those will go away once I read it more.

Forth, I was talking about books with my Grandma, (she loves reading too) and I told her about Deanna Raybourn's, Lady Julia Grey mysteries. I told her she would like them a lot and what it basically is about. She finished it in a day and came back for the second one. hehe So she likes them, and I have another person in my family on the Lady Julia Grey bandwagon. :D But while we were talking about books, she told me I would like some of Susan Wiggs books. So when she came to get the second book she brought me two of them. The first one is "The Charm School" and the second one is "The Horsemasters Daughter". I read through "The Charm School" in two days and now I'm just about to finish The Horsemasters Daughter". I like them both a lot! Their like Lynn Kurland's books but more romantic.

Anyway, I think that's it for the updates! I'll try and do Musing Monday's tomorrow. Happy reading! <3

Award, Musing Mondays and other stuff.

Okay so I have a few things to blog about today. I would have posted sooner, but I'm just so busy! and there's a lot going on in my brain right now. But enough about me, lets get to blogging! Okay so first I got a new award, thanks to Caressa at Bookish! It's called the Liebster award.

The Liebster award is meant to highlight some of the great blogs with 200 followers or less.

Thank you sooooo much Caressa for awarding this to me! and for keeping up with my irregular posts. ;)
Okay, so here are the rules. Once I get the award I have to:

• Show your thanks to the blogger who gave you the award by linking back to them.
• Reveal your 5 picks on your blog with links.
• Let the winners know by leaving a comment on their blog.
• Post the reward on your blog.

Here are the bloggers I want to give this award to:

1.  I know that she already has the award but I feel the need to give it back to Bookish. Thank you for keeping up with my posts! I really appreciate it. :)

2. thebookgatherer I love reviews that are short, sweet, and to the point, and her reviews are like that. Awesome blog. 

3. A Series of Stupidity This is my sisters blog, but that's not the only reason I'm giving her the award. Her blog is pretty funny. Check it out!

4. Layneman's Terms Her blog is about internet safety and other things too. It's good to know. :)

And apparently I don't follow anymore people that has less then 200 followers. I have no one else to give the award to! So we'll just stick with four...

Anyway, I'm going to do my Musing Monday post here too. 

 

Today's musing asks:

What is/are the first book(s) you're reading for the new year?

Well I still have my library books from the last post, and I have only finished a few of them. So I'm still going to be reading those, but I plan on reading "The Way of the Shadows" by Brent Weeks after they are done. 

Well that's it! Oh while I'm thinking of it, I decided not to read "Mistress of the Art of Death" because it was too gruesome for me. I didn't want to finish it.

Okay now that's it. Everyone have a good week, and see you Wednesday! <3

New books, and other things too.

Well, I have books now! I'm very happy that I have new stuff to read. I was getting tired of reading and looking at the same books over and over again.
Now I'll give you the list of them but I didn't get a lot. I have a habit of going through my TBR list and just writing down like 10 books I want to get and then I never finish them. That's what happened last time. I refused to get so much books this time. I got about 6 books. Here they are:

"O Jerusalem" by Laurie R. King

I think this is the next book in the Mary Russell series I haven't read in a loooong time. I started like three pages of this book, put it down and haven't came back to it. I'm excited to get back into it because I forgot how much I love this series so far. :D





"Mistress of the Art of Death" by Ariana Franklin

It's a very gruesome name, and the plot is the same, but I'm excited to get into it. I've been wanting to read this for a while; it's just been sitting on my TBR shelf, and finally I got to check it out!






"Maisie Dobbs" by Jacqueline Winspear

 At first I didn't remember how I found this book. I sometimes look at the suggestions Goodreads gives you to find new books, and I found this on the suggestions for "A Fatal Waltz" by Tasha Alexander. It looked like a good book, so I added it. This cover that I posted is the paperback cover, but my library has the hard cover. It doesn't look as awesome as this one. ;P




"A Beautiful Blue Death" by Charles Finch

 I've been seeing these Charles Lenox mysteries a lot and finally I decided to read the first one. We'll see how I like these books. and they seem pretty good so I'll give them a try.






"The Book of Fires" by Jane Borodale

 If you read my last blog, you've seen this book. I was really excited to read it so I'm reading it first before any of them. So far, I like it a lot. :D







"Keturah and Lord Death" by Martine Leavitt

 This book was really short (or at least for me.) It's about 216 pages. I read it in one and a half days. The idea was a interesting I thought, and it was surprisingly good book. I enjoyed it!







Anyway, that's all of them. Before I went to the library I was reading "The Dark Road to Darjeeling" by Deanna Raybourn, the next book in Lady Julia Grey mysteries. I'll get back to it once I read all of these new books.
Well, I think that's it. Until next time! <3

WWW Wednesday (December 21)

Hosted by MizB at Should Be Reading

 To play along, just answer the following three (3) questions...

• What are you currently reading?
• What did you recently finish reading?
• What do you think you'll read next?

What are you currently reading? 

 I just got a whole bunch of books at the library (I'm gonna do another blog about it later.) but I'm reading "Book of Fires" by Jane Borodale.

What did you recently finish reading?

I recently finished "Silent on the Moor" by Deanna Raybourn.
I HATE the cover of this book. I can promise you, it's not a trashy romance novel. Ugh.... but on the bright side, this book is great. I've read it several times before, and I still love it. :D







What do you think you'll read next?

I think I'll read "Mistress of the Art of Death" by Ariana Franklin next. 
This looks like it's gonna be a pretty good mystery book. Can't wait to start it!

Soon I'm gonna do another blog about all the books I got today at the library so you can see but until then, everyone have a good week! <3

Musing Mondays (December 19)

Again, for the second time I forgot to post my Musing Monday's post. I started it, then I decided to do it later and now I'm late on posting it. Well here it is now, with a few updates first. One, I'm going to the library tomorrow so I'll have new books! But that also means I have to make a list... Two, I'm re-reading the whole Lady Julia Grey mysteries because I have nothing better to read. I started reading them three days ago? and I'm on the third one already.... I really forgot how much I love these books. :D Okay, now to the Musing Monday's post.

Hosted by MizB at Should Be Reading

This week's musing asks...

What's one book you always recommend to just about anyone?

 Now, some of you might guess what my answer would be, so I'll give you two books that I usually always recommend.

One, I've recommended these books to like, three people in the past month. And I even mentioned them above. I absolutely love the Lady Julia Grey mysteries and I'm always saying on here that their amazing, which is completely true. I would recommend these to anyone really. I love them!

Okay and the second books I would also recommend are Jane Austen books, especially if you like reading books in that time period. I've always been obsessed with that time period, and for me Jane Austen books are perfect for when you want to lose yourself in Victorian England. :D

WWW Wednesday (December 14)

Hosted by MizB at Should Be Reading

To play along, just answer the following three (3) questions...

• What are you currently reading?
• What did you recently finish reading?
• What do you think you'll read next?

What are you currently reading?

I'm currently reading "Silent in the Grave" by Deanna Raybourn again.
I know, I'm lame but I can't help it. I really wanted to read it again. hehe 

What did you recently finish reading? 

I think the last book I finished was "A Dance Through Time" by Lynn Kurland.
The reason I re-read this was because I was in one of those moods for a mind numbing romance that wasn't too deep. Plus this book is one of my favorites.

   

What do you think you'll read next? 

This is always a hard question for me because I usually don't think ahead about anything.  I have no idea what I'm gonna read next. It depends on my mood. As usual. haha 

Everyone have a good night! <3

Musing Mondays (December 12)

Hosted by MizB at Should Be Reading

Like an idiot, I forgot about Musing Monday. So this post is a little late but whatever. This week's question was really good, so lets start!

This week's musing is taken from an old "Booking Through Tuesday" post:

I once knew a man who read about WWII. He read everything he could get his hands on on the subject. He had a whole wall of books that were all about WWII. It amazed me. How could he continue to find one subject that engrossing? My mother, on the other hand, loves to read best sellers. I’ve known other people who read science fiction to the exclusion of everything else; for others it was philosophy, self-help, or history.

So, to the questions…

What kind of books do you like to read?
Why? Provide specific examples.

 Before I say anything, I love the picture for today's Musing Monday. It's so pretty! :D

I love all kinds of books. If you say it's good, it doesn't matter what genre it is, I will read it. Simply because I love books. But I do have my favorites. I love fantasy, romance, and mystery. I also love a book that is action packed but still humorous. Here's some examples:

Fantasy: The best example of a great fantasy book is "Name of the Wind" by Patrick Rothfuss. (Here's the Goodreads page.) He wrote it so beautifully, that it was hard to put down. When you think of fantasy, you think of dragons and knights in shining armor, but this book is not about that. Now, I'm not saying I don't love those kind of books, but what I liked most about this book was the fact that it was a whole new take on the fantasy genre. Check it out!

Romance: The thing about romance is there is all different kinds but the key is to find the right one; the one that fits you and what you like to read. Romance can be cheesy, and sometimes it isn't clean, but it depends on what your tastes are.
I have two favorites but one of them is not exactly romance. Lynn Kurland is one of my favorite romance authors. Some of her books can be repetitive, but I love them. Also Juliet Marillier is a great romance writer, but she doesn't excatly write romance. Her books are fantasy, romance and historical fiction all in one. Her books are amazing. (Read their Goodreads pages here and here.)

Mystery: This example is an easy one. My favorite mystery books are the Lady Julia Grey novels. I absolutely love everything about these books. Deanna Raybourn is an awesome writer, and I can't wait for her new stand alone novel to come out.  :D (Goodreads page here.)

An example of action packed books that are humorous is the Maximum Ride series by James Patterson.  I love these books. These bird kids kick some butt. It's great. hehe (Goodreads page here.)

Anyway that answers it. What a great question... :)

I'm back! (Again...)

Well, I'm back from my break from blogging and I'm ready to get into it again.

Anyway, my friend Kaila just got The Hunger Games at a bookstore and I read a little bit. I already loved it even though I only got to page 16. hahaha I cannot wait till I can buy it, and read it. I'm so excited.
You know, I have tons of books that I haven't read on my bookshelf but I don't want to read any of them.
 I think it's because I see those covers every morning, and just get sick of seeing them and that makes me not want to read them.... I need something NEW to read, otherwise I wont be reading very much. Which means another trip to the library is in order. I'm gonna get the books I'm most looking forward to reading, and that's it. If I get too many books my brain will get all crowded, and we know what happens when Megan's brain gets crowded, right? It's not pretty.

Okay so I recently read The Picture Of Dorian Grey and as I'm reading through it I'm like, "This is a great book!" then I get to some parts and they came so quickly I was shocked. I was staring at the book with my mouth open.  Let me just say, (without giving anything away) that not only is Dorian an arrogant jerk, he's also a psychopath. :P

I'm trying to think of other things I've read but I haven't really been reading. Which is terrible, but I just have other stuff going on. Once I get to the library I'll get to reading. And I mean it this time.  Everyone have a great week! <3

Just a heads up.

Okay since my Grandparents are over these next couple of days, I think I'm going to take the week off just so I'm not sitting around blogging all day when I should be hanging out with my family. So I've decided that we're just going to skip the blogging for a while. I'll be back after that and ready to do some books reviews!

Sorry I missed WWW Wednesday, I had totally forgotten about it, since I've been cleaning to get ready for my Grandparents. I promise I'll come back, but for now I'll have to take a break. I know that almost every one of the blogs I follow are always posting about not being able to blog for a while because all of us have such busy lives. Apparently that includes me now...

I plan on going to the library soon so I'm going to make a list of the books I want to get, and hopefully I'll have some new books to review! But until then, happy blogging and have a good week. :)

Musing Mondays (November 21)

Hosted by MizB at Should Be Reading

How do you decide to read a book by an author you haven’t read before? What sort of recommendations count most highly in making that decision?

 I find most of my new authors on Goodreads. Sometimes I'll look at the suggestions on the side of the page when I'm looking at a book I've already read. Also, and I hate to admit it, but I do look at the covers sometimes. Like if I'm at a bookstore, I automatically go to the books that have pretty covers. I'm sad to say it. Also, if I hear that it's a good book, I'll go and check it out.

Most times, I'll read anything if it's recommended to me. I always try to keep an open mind. But most times I go by two things. 1: I have to care about the characters and the story. If I don't care about the story, I'll never read it. Sometimes I do that with young adult books. It's simply a matter of how much I care. If I don't care I'm not going to keep reading. Give me a reason to like the characters and I'll read it. And 2: There has to be at least some kind of romance in it. I'm a sucker for romance. It can be a lot of romance or just a little bit, but it's got to have something.

Like I said, most times I keep an open mind. I'm also a mood reader too. If it sounds good at the moment, I look at reviews and then decide if I want to read it or not.
I usually go by book reviews. If I think the reviews on it are good, I'll try it out and see if I like it. :)

Update! I haven't done one of these in a while...

Hello, peoples. I think I am now back into the swing of things! I've started to read "Lady of the Glen" and I like it a lot! I might do a book review on it.... ;)
I really want to go to the library again, to check out some new books. I haven't been able to get any of the mystery books I talked about in the other blog, because I've just been sitting at home, AND I'm sick. So as soon as I'm able to, I want to go and get them. I should make a library list.... That'll give me something to do.

I know I shouldn't want to go to the library when I have perfectly good books right on the my bookshelf, but I can't help myself. I'm a mood reader. I can't help that when I look at the books on my bookshelf, I go: "ehh I don't really want to read that", or "I'm not in the mood to read this one....". I just can't read a book unless I want to read it. Is anyone else like that? Or is it just me? I don't know. But I think I'm just going to have to suck it up.

Also, I have so many books that I'm almost done reading, but I never get around to reading the rest of it! I should just have a week dedicated to reading the books I'm partially done with. I think I have about 4 books that I started, read to almost the end, and stopped. I need to get those done too.
I need to start to get my TBR pile smaller. It's almost as big as the books I've read! Which is not many.

Okay I think that's it for the updates! Have a good night. :)

WWW Wednesday (November 16)

I just looked down at all my posts this past month, and all of the posts are memes! I need to start doing some reviews... I just haven't been reading any books I want to review! It's all been Lynn Kurland books, and I really don't feel like doing a review on one of those. I'm going to finish this last one, and then I'm either going to read "Phantom of the Opera" or something else. I need to get back into the swing of things. Now, moving on to the actual WWW Wednesday post:

To play along, just answer the following 
three (3) questions....  

-What are you currently reading?
-What did you recently finish reading?
-What do you think you'll read next?




What are you currently reading? 
I am reading "Till There Was You" by Lynn Kurland. 
I've read this one recently, but I decided to read it again because I had read all of them in order and this one was next. I think this is my favorite Lynn Kurland book, but I haven't read it all the way through yet to decide. 








What did you recently finish reading?
I recently finished "With Every Breath" by Lynn Kurland.
I'm sure your going to get sick of hearing her name all the time. But for right now, these are what I'm reading. Despite the cheesy names, they aren't really bad. I like them, and I'm not into the cheesy romance genre. They are nice and light. I need that kind of book right now.





What do you think you'll read next?
Like I said at the beginning, I think I'll read "Phantom of the Opera next, or something else. I haven't quite decided yet.  Hopefully, I'll have a book review soon! :)

Are you currently collecting any authors? Why?

Do you have all of their books? If not, why not? 
Did you buy all the books in the collection at the same time, or did you buy a book here, a book there? Have you actually read all of the collection? If not, why not?

I have a couple of books I've collected when I was young, and I still have on my bookshelf now. I used to collect Junie B. Jones books by Barbara Park and I have most of them. My elementary school had a program each year, where each one of our parents got a flyer that had books you could buy, and it would help the school. I can't quite remember the name of the program but I got a box set of The Chronicles Of Narnia by C.S Lewis but I don't collect his books.
The only author I really collect is Deanna Raybourn. I have her whole Julia Grey Series, but I don't have her stand alone novel. I don't know if I want to get it, or just recheck it out at my library, if I want to read it again. She's going to come out with another stand alone novel and I plan on buying it! I love all her books. She is one of my favorite authors.

The Julia Grey series I bought four of them at one time, and then bought the 5th one at another time.
I bought the Junie B. Jones books at different times. Sometimes a couple of years went by before I got another one.
Yes, I have read all the books I have collected. I've read them all several times.

To play along, just answer the following three (3) questions...

• What are you currently reading?

• What did you recently finish reading?

• What do you think you'll read next?

What are you currently reading?

I'm reading "With Every Breath" by Lynn Kurland.
This is the last book to read. After I read this one, I will have read all of Lynn Kurland's books in order! :D

What did you recently finish reading?

I recently finished "Much Ado in the Moonlight" by Lynn Kurland.
I loved this book! It's one of my favorite Lynn Kurland books.

What do you think you'll read next?

I think I'm going to finish up a few books that have a little bit of pages left, and I'll probably start on "Phantom of the Opera" or "Lady of the Glen". It depends on my mood at the moment. :)
