It’s Monday! What are you Reading?

It’s Monday! What are you Reading? is hosted by Sheila at Book Journey.

I am currently reading:

Beaglemania by Linda O. Johnston – I didn’t pick this one back up last week, but I should finish it this week.

Last week I finished reading:

Collecting Cooper by Paul Cleave – My review. This was a page turner about serial killers. Some scenes were pretty violent, and the characters were mentally unstable. I thought it was a pretty good read, but some readers may be sensitive to the violence. I picked up one of Cleave’s other novels, Blood Men, at the library yesterday. (4 out of 5)

Stories for Nighttime and Some for the Day by Ben Loory – This was a very fast read. Most of the stories are super short at 3-5 pages. I like short stories, but these all ended rather abruptly and left me wanting more. I suppose this is intentional on Loory’s part, but it often bothered me. Review to come.

Upcoming reads:

I’m not sure. I picked up six books at the library yesterday, even though I have a ton of other things to read. Why do I do this to myself?

Additional:

 

I bought The Taken from Kobo, where it was discounted and I used a 20% off coupon. I have the first in the series, The Calling, and figured that I will like it enough (when I finally read it) to continue with The Taken. I also purchased Mum’s the Word and Son of Stitch ‘n Bitch from the used bookstore. I rarely knit these days, but I still seem to collect knitting books. Good intentions and all that.

Happy reading, everyone!
