In My Reading Life
Last week, I read The Weight of Feathers by Anna-Marie McLemore, Monster by Walter Dean Myers, and Kit’s Wilderness by David Almond. Up next is A Step From Heaven by An Na. It’s been a long time since I managed
to read three books in one week.
In My Blogging Life
I had a lot of fun writing the 10 Signs You Read Too Much Young Adult Fiction post. Go check it out
if you haven’t yet. Also, my blog has a Printz Award page now. I know that I review
a lot of YA, but prepare for a lot more. I’m going to read and review all of
the past Printz winners. Hopefully I’ll be caught up by the time the 2016 winner
is announced.
Giveaway
The Emerald City is hosting a giveaway and needs more people to enter. Go enter for a
chance to win some awesome bookish accessories.
In The Rest Of My Life
Five things that made me happy last week:
- I finished my second semester of graduate school. I’m halfway done.
- I had slightly more free time than usual. This means more time to read.
- Watching series 4 of The Great British Bake Off. I think American TV is a few seasons behind on this show. I can watch series 6 online.
- I’m going to Nevada and California at the end of the month. That’ll be interesting.
- Cheap Halloween candy.
I hope you had a great week. I’ll see you around the
blogosphere!
Yay for a three book week. Nevada and California sound like a great trip! Have great week!
ReplyDeleteYeah, hopefully the trip will be interesting.

Sounds like you've had a great week so hopefully the next will be just as good (more spare time to read will be appreciated I'm sure!) and enjoy the candy

I liked your YA post- that was awesome. #s 1,3, and 8- heck, all of them really. So true! The sad thing is it does pretty well describe a lot of the YA I've read...
ReplyDeleteI'll need to check your post on Vengence Road, as I'm interested in that one. Have a great week!
Thanks! I really liked Vengeance Road. It’s a bit different from the typical YA book.

Looks like some 2 great weeks, what happened, and what's going to happen! Hope you enjoyed Vengeance Road! Thanks for stopping by! Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI did enjoy Vengeance Road. I had never read a YA western before, so it was different.
DeleteAj @ Read All The Things!
How did you enjoy Monster? I thought it was an innovative device and really loved it. If you liked it, Walter Dean Myers has another book called Slam that my teen son loved.
ReplyDeleteI liked Monster a lot. Thanks for telling me about the other book. I’ll go check it out.

ReplyDeleteI am one of those people that love the Florida heat. :-)
