Good morning, and Happy New Year!
Today is Monday, January 2, 2012...What Are You Reading? is a weekly meme hosted by the one and only Sheila from Book Journey. Sheila is one of those people who inspire me, not just as a reader, but as a person. She's a light caster if there every was one! Go check her out, though, because she reads all the books I WANT to read, but just can't get to!
In the meantime, here is what I have been up to this week:
Books Read This Week:
Shine by Lauren Myracle (Amulet Books; April 2011; Hardcover; Young Adult) So much controversy over this book. I am so thankful to Amulet for sending me a copy! It was terrific!
Out of My Mind by Sharon Draper (Atheneum Books for Young Readers; March 2010; Grades 4-6) I had actually pitched an idea for a book to someone, only to learn that Sharon Draper did it first! I'm glad I read her book, because that would have been very embarrassing! I'm not giving up on my original idea, though...so stay tuned!
Beautiful Chaos (Beautiful Creatures Book #3) by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl (Little,Brown Books for Young Readers; October 2011; hardcover; 528 pages; Young Adult) Oh, the dream team is back with Book 3, and it was just as exciting as the first two! I love this YA series, and can't wait for Book 4!!
Currently Reading:
Blood Read Road by Moira Young (Margaret K. McElderry Books/Simon&Schuster; June 2011; Ages 14+; hardcover; 464 pgs) It took me about 30 pages to get used to the language, and now I'm having a hard time putting it down!
Currently Listening To:
Game of Thrones: A Song of Ice and Fire (Book 1)by George R.R. Martin, ready by Roy Dotrice (Random House Audio; April 2011) This was such a hefty looking book, I thought I would try the audio...now I really want to see the TV series and put faces to these rich characters!
Plan to Read This Week:
The Crown by Nancy Bilyeau (Touchstone; January 10, 2012; Hardcover; 416 pgs; Adult) An aristocratic young nun must find a legendary crown in order to save her father—and preserve the Catholic faith from Cromwell’s ruthless terror. The year is 1537. . . I'm looking forward to getting swept back to the 16th century!

Good morning!!! You read books I want to read and cant get to!!! LOL
I hope to start the Game Of Thrones series too... it sounds so good! :)
I will also be reading The Crown sometime soon, and am rather excited about it. It sounds like it's going to be a great read. I also can't wait to hear what you think of Blood Red Road!
Out of My Mind was on my 2009 fav list. Keep your idea going.
You've intrigued me with Blood Red Road - I'll be watching for your review.
It looks like you've read some great books! I have Blood Red Road waiting for me on my bookshelf and I can't wait to read it, it's meant to be awesome - hope you enjoy it!
