TELL ME TUESDAY is a feature that oozed from the fried brains of myself and one of my best blogging buddies. It is a weekly, or bi-weekly feature (depending on your reading style), where you tell us what you are reading now, and why, and what you will be reading in the future from your tbr pile, and why. I am oh so curious why people read what they read. So tell us!
Go have a peek at their newest book grabs and tell them yours.
This was posted on Wednesday because of technical difficulties. This is only the second time in 42 posts, so I am not ashamed. Ha!

I was living in a land of magical wonderousness where lots of reading and feedback was being done and all Netgalley and Edelweiss requests were being granted...
and then I went to Edelweiss to see the status of my Persuasion, the sequel to Compulsion, request because everyone on our street team was being approved, and I had been DECLINED!
I haven't been declined for an EW title in over six months, so I guess I had a false sense of security. I was planning on reading it when I finished the weirdness that is Invasion of the Tearling...

GOING BOVINE has been benched for a few days. I think the last person who borrowed it from the library lived with ten chain smokers, so it is in a bag with baking soda and crumpled up newspaper.

I am currently reading INVASION OF THE TEARLING, the sequel to Queen of the Tearling. Queen of the Tearling was my top read of 2014. I would have given it six stars if I could. I was all excited for another marvelous Adult High Fantasy experience, but was handed half Fantasy, half Dystopian (a dystopian I don't much care for). I know the story needed some backstory, but not that much and certainly not in that way.
Pretty cover though.

After I finish IotT I think I might finally read THE BODY ELECTRIC by Beth Revis. It has been sitting on my Kindle forever and I adored her Across the Universe trilogy.
What are you reading? Tell us!
42!! I so love that number and after all it's the answer of Life, the Universe and Everything!
ReplyDeleteI still haven't check EW and I'm now a bit scared to check now... O_o
YAY for reading!!
Ha ha, maybe the #42 will bring me luck on my re-request of Persuasion!
DeleteI hate it when you're so sure you're getting a book and they decline you. Worst feeling ever!
ReplyDeleteI know! The author said that everyone who put they were an approved member of the street would get one, not me. :(
DeleteHah, I get declined for EW or NG all the time because of region issues so it's never a big deal for me, but deep inside, it does shatter my ego. It's like "WHY? WHY AM I NOT ENOUGH? WHAT SHOULD I DO?!" Haha! I'm in the process of not giving any more fracks about it, though. Right now I'm reading tons! There's a YA, some adult, an MG, and even an erotica. DON'T JUDGE MEEEEE.
ReplyDeleteFaye at The Social Potato
I always laugh when I visit you youngsters' blogs and see the covers with the bare chested men pop up. Lol. :D
ReplyDeleteOh my god I don't think I've ever picked up a library book that smelled like smoke before! Like...holy cow! I get it with books that stay in smoker's houses for ages...but a LIBRARY book?? They're usually only with the person for a couple weeks! And just....gross.
ReplyDeleteI think I might also be a little more sensitive to the odor because of being a previous smoker. It has been released from quarantine and getting read again! I love it btw. :)
DeleteI'm so glad you're enjoying it!!! ...I can't wait to hear your reaction when you finish the boooooook I need to knowwwwwww! I used to be allergic to smoke so I definitely have a tough time with smoky smells. (I don't get itchy anymore though so that's good!) And judging by Sejoon's reaction when he smells smoke (he used to be a smoker) I can imagine how it is for you. I think? Maybe?
DeleteI am happy the smell of cigarette smoke is revolting to me now because I know people who quit many years before me who still crave a smoke. I don't know if I could deal with that everyday!
