Hello, book fans! I feel like it’s been forever since I’ve done a tag and I feel like it’s been a while since I’ve been on top of doing stuff for the blog.  I feel a little bit bad about neglecting my blog-sibilities, but I have to admit that I have just been really busy lately and haven’t had a lot of time to spend on blogging.  (Sometimes when I am procrastinating on work, I am unable to spend any time on anything else that might be productive.  It’s weird).  One of my resolutions this year is to be better at the blog, so I wanted to write this post up for you.

Book I’ve Just Finished:

  • Four Found Dead by Natalie D. Richards – This is a fast paced, time limited, yound adult thriller that is publishing in May.  I gave it four stars because I enjoyed the pacing and plot but struggled with aspects of the writing.  There will be a full review of this up on the blog closer to it’s May publication date.

Book I am Reading Now/Next:

  • The Cartographers by Peng Shepherd – I tend to be a mood reader (which is why I have stopped TBR posts), so I don’t really know what I will read next specifically.  However, I do know that my book club with other staff members at my school is reading this one for our February meeting.  That means I need to get it read pretty quickly so I can discuss it with the group.

Favourite Place to Read:

  • I think my favourite place to read is any place that I can read.  That’s a really terrible cop out of an answer, but I just really love reading and when I get the opportunity, I really appreciate that opportunity.  I tend to read wherever and whenever I can, which makes the world my oyester when it comes to reading.

Tenth Book on Your To Read List/Pile:

  • I don’t really have a TBR list/pile.  I have many, many unread books though.  If I sort my books owned spreadsheet, the 10th book that I haven’t read is Into the Crooked Place by Alexandra Christo.

Top 3 Books You’d Recommend That You’ve Read This Year:

  • The Push by Ashley Audrain
  • Dig by A.S. King
  • The Box in the Woods by Maureen Johnson.

Authors You Discovered this Year and Would Highly Recommend:

  • As it’s January, I don’t have any on this list that I haven’t read anything else from.  I have a new love for A.S. King after reading Dig though.

Last 5 Books Purchased:

  • Just the Nicest Couple by Mary Kubica
  • Mysteries of Thorn Manor by Margaret Rogerson
  • Hell Bent by Leigh Bardugo
  • The Stolen Heir by Holly Black
  • How to Sell a Haunted House by Grady Hendrix

Thanks for reading!  What have you read so far this year?
