As of right now I'm not really into any books. Just a couple minutes ago I finished Storm by Brigid Kemmer. I liked it, but I didn't love it and couldn't connect to any of the characters. The book was a three star read for me. It fell right down the middle and didn't leave a lasting impression.
I am about a tenth of the way through Kiersten White's upcoming YA release And I Darken. I'm liking it so far, but I'm waiting for the story to pick up. Hopefully I will become more interested in the book as the story progresses. And I Darken is a historical fiction where Vladamir is actually a girl. Lada, the main character (aka Vladamir) is a really interesting character. I can't wait to see her become the Vladamir everyone fears!
By the end of the month, I want to be finished with And I Darken and two other novels. I just got The Unexpected Everything by Morgan Matson, and I am so excited! I've loved the two other books that I've read by Matson (Amy & Roger's Epic Detour, Since You've Been Gone), so I have high hopes for this one. I've read five pages or so, and I can't wait until I have more free time.
Last but not least, I want to read The Red Queen this month. I have had it on my shelf for a while, and it's about time that I picked it up. I'm excited to see what the hype is all about, and even though I might not love it, I'll be happy that I gave it a shot. The second book just came out, and I've been hearing better things about the second novel.
So that it was I am currently reading and my upcoming reads for May! What are you currently reading?
Thanks guys for stopping by and I'll see you soon with another post!
Happy Reading!

Okay, so I've got And I Darken as well! I have to get into it now, so we can discuss! Lada's not overly likeable but I kind of like that? Is it weird?
ReplyDeleteIt's not weird at all! I don't necessarily like her but I like reading from her perspective! She's so interesting. :D
DeleteOoooh, I've been itching to read And I Darken! I really enjoy the author's Paranormacy series, so I'm looking forward to reading her new one! And the cover itself is absolutely gorgeous too :D
ReplyDeleteThat's why I got so excited when I was able to get it early! I marathon-ed White's Paranormalcy trilogy and absolutely loved it because it was so fun. :D This is a much, much darker story but just as intriguing! It's really stunning!
