Week in Reading 12/10-12/16

12/10: Read to page 86 in The Marvellers by Dhonielle Clayton. The story is starting to pick up. We’ve sort of met a potential villain and a backstory has been vaguely alluded to that is definitely going to come into play at some point. Borrow The Seven Year Slip by Ashley Poston and The Kiss of Deception by Mary Pearson on Libby. Also borrowed audiobook for The Girl and the Stars by Mark Lawrence. Got to 85% of All the Sinners Bleed by S.A. Cosby. It is more gruesome, but there has also been more humanity.

12/11: Finished All the Sinners Bleed before work. 5 stars. Started The Girl and the Stars. Reading and listening to this one. Got to page 14. Also started Bibliophile by Jane Mount on my lunch break. Made it to page 42. Easy to consume. Beautiful illustrations. Fun facts. Read more before bed. Made it to page 63.

12/12: Read to page 96 in Bibliophile. Still loving the fun facts and illustrations. Listened to 16% of The Girl and the Stars. I like the story but I’m having trouble with all the characters when I can’t see how to spell their names.

12/13: Listened to 22% of The Girl and the Stars. Read to page 109 of Bibliophile.

12/14: Read to page 135 of Bibliophile. Every day I think I’m just going to power through and finish this book, but I find myself wanting to linger with it. Listened to 33% of The Girl in the Stars. I’m starting to see this one come together and I’m really liking the characters. There’s a little bit of a Hunger Games/Divergent feel to the story, but possibly more complex.

12/15: Read to page 138 in Bibliophile. Listened to 42% of The Girl in the Stars. It’s really getting me hooked now. I didn’t want to get out of the car tonight.

12/16: Read to page 164 in The Marvellers. I struggle to pick this one up, but once I do, I’m intrigued.
