#FridayReads 10.25.2013

HAPPY FRIDAY! 

The weekend is finally here!  I am fully recovered from Dewey's 24 Hour Readathon two weeks ago and back in the full swing of reading.  I finished two books this week, pulling me out of my reading slump.  The Selection and it's sequel, The Elite by Kiera Cass (reviews coming soon!)

The weather in Pennsylvania has cooled down into the 40s and 50s every day.  I am anticipating a chilly weekend again where I can curl up on the couch with a blanket, my cats and some good reading.
 
I plan on working through the rest of Days of Blood and Starlight by Laini Taylor and then I have a few different options. I purchased Interview with a Vampire by Anne Rice on my Kindle but I also want to dive into The Little Stranger by Sarah Waters.

 I am also working on a new series for Stacks & Shelves called Middle Grade Monday where I highlight some of my favorite middle grade fiction and authors, so I want to try some more of Neil Gaiman's books like Coraline or Richard Peck's Here Lies the Librarian.

I will be updating all weekend on my Goodreads page.  You can also find me on Twitter!

What do you have lined up for this weekend?

Happy Friday everyone!!

Today is an especially happy day because I finally finished The Historian after work for the Estella Society readalong, part of RIPVIII. Huzzah! At about page 500 or so, the plot seemed to drag and I didn't think I would ever get to the end. I am going to postpone my full review until the second part of the discussion questions are released, but I did give it 3/5 stars on Goodreads.

The Historian took me two weeks to finish, and I am still half way through Wuthering Heights so I'm not sure what I'm going to read next.  Perhaps Doctor Sleep or Night Film to throw a fast pasted book into the mix? I am still unsure but excited to dive into my TBR.

What are you reading this weekend?

Happy Friday, everyone!

I have off today for a bunch of appointments and then I'm headed to the beach! I'm looking forward to a relaxing weekend full of good books.  I have already started reading Insurgent by Veronica Roth in anticipation of the final book's release in October, so I will hopefully finish that tonight.  I also have Fourth Comings and Perfect Fifths by Megan McCafferty lined up for Saturday and Sunday to finally finish the Jessica Darling series (you can read my review of the first three books here).
