This week, I was cut off from borrowing new books from the library until I help my librarian preview the Virginia Reader's Choice list.  So, for the next few weeks, that will probably be the focus of my reading - I can't wait either!  The list this year looks absolutely fabulous, with a few surprises on there.  However, I decided to read a few quickies off my TBR list before, which is where this week's reading originated.

What am I currently reading?

I just started reading Fever by Lauren DeStefano last night.  I had mixed feelings about the first novel in the trilogy, Wither, but am invested enough in Rhine's story to continue. 

What did I just finish reading?

In a late-night frenzy, I finished The Disenchantments by Nina LaCour.  Her debut Hold Still was incredible, but I think this one was even better!  Review forthcoming!

What will I read next?

First book off my Virginia Reader's Choice list is Bonechiller, by Graham McNamee.  Until the list was published, I had never heard of this novel, but it sounds spooky and exciting.  I can't wait to dive in!

Did anyone else finish great books this week?  Do any other states publish reading lists for teens?

This week has been a very busy week, and most of my reading has been student-generated (grading papers...), so I feel like I haven't gotten to read like I usually do.  That being said, I did get to finish a great book!

What am I currently reading?

Currently, I am reading Cobble Cavern by Erik Olsen (picture isn't loading, for whatever reason).  I am one of the stops on the blog tour hosted by Cedar Fort, which is very exciting!

What did I recently finish reading?

Earlier this week, I finished reading Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins.  Little bitter because my iPad deleted my review (always save those as Word docs - lesson learned!), but I did thoroughly enjoy the novel.  It was one of those books I was sad to finish!

What do I think I'll read next?

I always plan brilliantly to read something, but this time, it really is happening.  A student was very kind to lend me this book, and I WILL finish it this week!  Looking forward to it!

What's on everyone else's to read lists?

Apparently, my first attempt at this post yesterday didn't work, so I will just have to update as I finished a book this afternoon!

What am I currently reading?

Right now, I am starting Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins.  I've been in a dystopian rut (all of them are starting to run together!), so I think a cute romantic novel will be just what I need to break it up.  This one came highly recommended by my students and librarian alike, so I am eager!

What did I recently finish reading?

I finished Starters by Lissa Price earlier in the week (Monday?), so review upcoming!  This afternoon, while enjoying some unseasonably warm and sunny weather, I finished The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin.  Though it's almost 500 pages, I TORE through it in two days.  So good!


What do I think I'll read next?

I am looking forward to beginning Seraphina by Rachel Hartman.  A good fantasy novel will continue my brief vacation from dystopian books!




Please leave a link to your list below - finding new titles for teens is one of my favorite tasks! Happy reading!

I'm excited to catalog what I'm working on, so here goes...


What am I currently reading?

At present, I am working my way through my NetGalley copy of Starters by Lissa Price.  Exciting and disturbing so far, which are the hallmarks of a good dystopian novel.




What did I recently finish reading?

I just finished reading Prized by Caragh O'Brien.  It's the second book in the Birthmarked trilogy, which I absolutely adore.  Review upcoming, so stay tuned!




What do I think I'll read next?

Gah, debate here.  My review queue from NetGalley is pretty darn long, so probably something from there.  I am thinking:
- Lies Beneath by Anne Greenwood Brown
    ... or...
- Seraphina by Rachel Hartman


I'll leave that up to my readers...


Comment below if you have a vote for what you think I should read next!  I'd love any input folks have on these titles.
