It’s Monday! What Are You Reading?

Read

I posted my review of a writing book that I find useful both for character development and plotting: Book Review: 45 Master Characters by Victoria Lynn Schmidt.

Last week, I read Shades of Earth by Beth Revis in just two days. I hardly ever read books that fast. It’s book 3 in the Across the Universe series that I talked about in last week’s post (It’s Monday! What Are You Reading?) — I loved the first one but had some trouble with the second one, which often happens for me in the middle book of a trilogy. Now that I’ve read the third book, though, I can definitely say this is a great series for YA fantasy / sci-fi lovers.

Reading

I’m still reading Cooked by Michael Pollan. I hoped to have it finished by Saturday so I can post a review for Weekend Cooking.

For fun, I’m reading Calculated in Death by J.D. Robb.

Will Read

Next up, I want to start reading for the Back to School Readng Challenge. I wrote about the eight books I intend to read for that in my sign up post: Back to School Reading Challenge — my Sign Up Post. I’m looking forward to our Twitter chat on Wednesday night (Back to School Reading Challenge — the Chats) and to finalizing our Read Along Book (Choose our Back to School Read-Along Book – there’s still time to vote!).
