It's Monday! What Are You Reading?

It's Monday! What Are You Reading? is a weekly meme hosted by Kathryn at The Book Date. Jen Vincent, Teach Mentor Texts, and Kellee of Unleashing Readers decided to give It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? a kidlit focus.

This post is for sharing what I read last week, what I am currently reading, and what I plan to read.

What I Read Last Week

I had a feeling Avenged would be my favorite read of the week, because I loved the first book so much. A book I liked a lot more than I thought I would, was The One Memory of Flora Banks. Reviews were mixed, and understandably so. The style takes some getting used to, but once I adjusted to being in Flora's head, I saw this beautiful story unfolding. Another standout, was Aftermath. I struggle sometimes with sad books, but I found this one had a good balance of the sad and hope.

• The One Memory of Flora Banks by Emily Barr - ★★★★
• Fireworks by Katie Cotungno - ★★★ 1/2 
• Avenged by Amy Tintera - ★★★★★
• Two Summers by Aimee Friedman - ★★★ 1/2 
• Why I Loathe Sterling Banks by Ingrid Paulson - ★★★
• Aftermath by Clara Kensie - ★★★★ 1/2

What I Am Currently Reading

I am currently listening to Ever After. I have never read anything from Deveraux before, but I am really enjoying my stay in Nantucket. My current read is The Invisible Library, which I have had on hold on Overdrive since November. I waited a long time, I hope it's the adventure I was looking for.

• Ever After by Jude Deveraux
• The Invisible Library by Genevieve Cogman

What I Plan to Read

This week, I am going to work on more of my ARCS. I heard great things about Duels and Deception, and I am super excited for Ramona Blue, as I have LOVED Murphy's other books. I feel as though I am in for a treat. I requested Deacon Locke because it sounded like it could be a lot of fun, and I liked the book I had read by this author. Finally, I am reading Dark Breaks the Dawn. This was one of my WoWs, so when I got approved for this DRC, I was over the moon. Lots of expectations this week, I hope these books deliver.

• Duels and Deception by Cindy Anstey
• Ramona Blue by Julie Murphy
• Deacon Locke Went to Prom by Brian Katcher
• Dark Breaks the Dawn by Sara B. Larson

I don't get much in the way of #bookmail, so I am happy to share that, I won another GoodReads giveaway! I received Spellbook of the Lost and Found by Moira Fowley-Doyle on Friday, and I am really excited for two reasons: 1. This is another book I have a DRC for, so I can do a giveaway like I did with Pirate King, and 2. I loved Fowley-Doyle's first book, and am hoping I strike gold twice with her.
