This weekly meme is hosted by Sam at Taking on a World of Words and all you need to do to participate is answer the following three questions:
What are you currently reading?
I randomly decided to pick back up with my reread of this series. I think I read A is for Alibi last summer so it’s been quite awhile since I’ve been back int this world. Kinsey Millhone is and will forever be one of my all time favorite characters.
What have you recently finished?
It’s been two weeks since my last update and I managed seven books during that time! Unfortunately, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue was my lowest rated read of the bunch. I didn’t enjoy the characters or the story.
I was enjoying Soul of a Killer and then it ended so abruptly that it left a bad taste in my mouth. I gave it three stars but I will be hesitant to pick up a third in this series if one ever comes out.
My four star reads were You Shouldn’t Have Come Here and Just Like Mother. I had a good time with both and flew through them.
Evocation, Icebreakers, and The Stranger Upstairs were five star reads. All three are different genres but had characters that I absolutely loved.
What do you think you’ll read next?
If it still works for what my team is doing for Escape the Readathon, I’ll be reading The Tearsmith.
The bestselling international sensation, coming soon to Netflix, now in English for the first time—a dark, sexy, haunting novel of two very damaged teens who are taken in by the same family and forced to reckon with a destructive love that could be the undoing of them both
Growing up in a ghastly orphanage run by an abusive matron, Nica coped in the only way she could—by retreating to her imagination, where she lived out fantastical stories, especially about the Tearsmith, the man who makes tears, a terrifying figure who forges all the fears that dwell in people’s hearts.
When she’s finally taken in by an adoptive family at seventeen, Nica thinks she’s leaving the group home, its torments, and her prison of otherworldly tales behind her. That is, until Rigel—a young man raised from birth in the same dreadful orphanage—joins her new family.
Rigel is as mesmerizingly handsome as he is troubled, and he and Nica have a long history of distrust and hostility. But as they come to live together again under one roof, the deep shared trauma of surviving such vicious circumstances sparks something magical, and Nica begins to fall for Rigel’s forbidden love.
Before any relationship can become reality, though, they’ll have to face the darkness of their past . . . and the dangerous stakes of pursuing a future together.
