It’s Monday! What are you Reading?

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

Happy New Year to everyone! I had big plans for getting stuff done around the house between Christmas and New Year’s, but I ended up doing more reading than DIYing.

I am currently reading:

Fallen by Karin Slaughter (Georgia #3) – I am on a Karin Slaughter kick. I finished Broken on New Year’s Eve and immediately started Fallen. The only problem is that I have now read the Georgia series before the Grant County series, so the big event that occurs in the Grant County series is spoiled for me. I have only read the first book in the Will Trent series. Maybe I will get all caught up in 2012.

During the past two weeks I finished reading:

   

The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern – The end of the book did not feel as strong as the first half or so, but I still loved it. (5 out of 5 stars)

Still Life with Crows by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child (Pendergast #4) – This was another creepy read in the Pendergast series. I was so creeped out that I had to keep checking behind the shower curtain every time I walked into the bathroom. (4 out of 5 stars)

Duplicity Dogged the Dachshund by Blaize Clement (Dixie Hemingway #2) – This book was sort of depressing due to an elderly dachshund in declining health as well as some animal abuse. I hope the next one is a bit more uplifting. (4 out of 5 stars)

Broken by Karin Slaughter (Georgia #2) – I loved the tension between Sara and Will. (5 out of 5 stars)

On hold:

Crossed by Ally Condie – I was listening to the audiobook, borrowed from Overdrive, and then the holidays happened. The book expired. So this is on hold until it becomes available again.
