TELL ME TUESDAY is a feature that oozed from a post Twitter Party fried-brains stupor I suffered a while ago. 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 me!
JOINING US THIS WEEK

I just finished reading SERAFINA AND THE BLACK CLOAK. It was another Middle Grade that was more like YA with a MG age main character. It was much too scary and gorey for that age group. Is this a "thing" now? It was my current eARC.
I only rated it three stars as a Middle Grade, but I do recommend it because as a YA it would have been 3.5 stars.

I have also started listening to my audiobook collection of Oz stories again.
※※※※※※※
Because of traveling through Oz, I haven't started THE SIREN, yet, but I will tonight. It is only 99¢ as an ebook.
I love aliens!
※※※※※※※
Because The Siren is fairly short (182 pages), I am sure I will be picking up my beautiful hardcover of DANCE OF THE RED DEATH before next week.
I adored Masque of the Red Death.

My next eARC on deck is WOLF WILDER.
It is a Middle Grade from Edelweiss.
Can anyone tell me why blogger is giving me two different fonts and print colors on my posts?
What are you reading? Tell me!
Ooooh, the Wolf Wilder sounds quite intriguing, even just by title!!
ReplyDeleteI am suffering a bit from book hangover after reading Six of Crows, so all I've done is started the Throne of Glass re-read with Assassin's Blade! Good thing I've done, cause I think it's helping with the book hangover given that it's a collection of short stories!
I've also just finished reading a sample for Ungodly by Kendare Blake and I cannot wait to read the full book!!
The reread started?! I didn't know! I didn't see anything about it on Twitter. Maybe I will start that instead of Dance of the Red Death.
DeleteI've always been on the fence about Masque of the Red Death, so I may have to check it out afterall. Also, Wolf Wilder looks really interesting, so I'm excited to see what you think. :)
ReplyDeleteMasque of the Red Death was one of the first YAs I read. I don't care for most romance aspects in stories, but the romance scenes in Masque seemed like they were written just for me. :)
DeleteYou got me curious about Serafina and the Black Cloak! I am all for gorey and graphic reads. ;) The Wolf Wilder's been on my radar as well--let me know what you think of it!
ReplyDeleteRight now I'm reading Alias Hook, a Peter Pan retelling. It has an awesome concept, but so far I'm having a bit of trouble getting into the writing.
You know, I remember a lot of people had read Alias Hook, but I don't remember any reviews. Hmm. I have not read amy Peter Pan retellings, so I am due. :)
DeleteThe Wolf Wilder looks so cool :D I love the cover and the premise is even intriguing. As for me, I'm still not sure what I am going to read... I just finished WHAT YOU LEFT BEHIND by Jessica Verdi which was about a teenage father of a seven month old baby (!!!!!!!) so now I'll probably read Weightless by Sarah Bannan!
