As you can see I've had a busy reading month. In part of the vacay and our 14 hour drive to LA. But It's been a good reading month also. I'm just having a hard time picking a favorite since they're all in different genres (all YA, that's about the only thing they have in common). One was about angels and demons, star-crossed lovers caught in the midst of a war. Another a fantasy-dystopian (i didn't even know such a thing existed!) about a girl lost in a decaying world, and her reluctant hero. Another about a new goddess who can't seem to get her husband to notice her, and is then forced to confront his ex. One about a girl who stalks the family next door who's suddenly a part of said family. The last about four brothers with extraordinary powers, the youngest of whom falls for a girl trying to move on from the past. They were all good and all different, and I enjoyed them all for different reasons. So I guess I'm cheating by not picking one. Oops. Sorry...but I hope you pick at least one of them up and enjoy it as much as I did.
You certainly got a lot of reading done this month. I really liked DAUGHTER OF SMOKE AND BONE. Haven't read any of the rest but several look good.
ReplyDeleteI've heard a lot about Under The Never Sky, i love all these covers - so creative! Lots to read here!
ReplyDeleteWell, I'm certainly impressed with how many books you've read with everything else going on in your life :)
ReplyDeleteI can only a) write b) edit or c) read.
I can't multitask for the life of me... so sometimes I'll read 20 books in a month, and sometimes 3 months will pass without reading a single one :)
I guess 'moms' are always better at multitasking ;)
You have had a busy reading month! DAUGHTER OF SMOKE AND BONE, UNDER THE NEVER SKY, and MY LIFE NEXT DOOR are among my favorites. Such fantastic characters in all three!
ReplyDeleteI've got MY LIFE NEXT DOOR on my shelf right now so I'm stoked to see someone loving it. That'll be my next read, for sure! :)
ReplyDeleteI LOVED Daughter of Smoke and Bone. I could just picture everything so vividly! I like your contemporary YA picks. I haven't read My Life Next Door or Let the Sky Fall but I'm looking forward to both.
ReplyDeleteI loved Under The Never Sky, and am looking forward to reading My Life Next Door!
ReplyDeleteI've only read Daughter of Smoke and Bone! The rest sound awesome- even more to my TBR pile.
ReplyDeleteI've been trying to get around to reading Smoke and Bone because I've heard so much about it. I may have to check it out. Thanks for the recommendations.
ReplyDeleteThat's a lot for a month. I've heard a lot about DOSAB too. Will have to check it out!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely loved Daughter of Smoke and Bone! I've heard good things about all the rest of your August reads - except I hadn't seen the last one. All look great!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you've had an AMAZING reading month! I'd have trouble choosing too!
ReplyDeleteI have had my eye on My Life Next door and I have Daughter of Smoke and Blood, but haven't had a chance to read it yet. I've heard wonderful things about both, though, so I'll have to read them soon. :)
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you missed Alien Fresh Jerky when you were in Baker. You HAVE to go back. I adored Daughter of Smoke and Bone. My daughter just went to Prague last month and I'm trying to get her to read it.
ReplyDeleteGreetings!
ReplyDeleteI am hopping over from GUTGAA and visiting some blogs before the fun begins! Nice to meet you...you have a lovely blog!
