TELL ME TUESDAY is a feature that oozed from my post Twitter party fried brains. It is a floating 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!

I am on the last bit of SLADE HOUSE, about 10% more. The first 50% of the story was really good, but around the middle of the book, when it goes into the backstory, it is like listening to a dull history lecture. I thought it was getting interesting again when it was beginning to tie up all of the plot threads, but it just isn't cutting it. It isn't that it is contrived, but it reminds me of an anime I used to watch. I can't tell you which one because it would be a definite spoiler if you knew what it was about. This is from the author of Cloud Atlas, and The Bone Clocks. I still haven't seen the Cloud Atlas movie because I wanted to read the book first, but after being underwhelmed with this one, I may not read it at all. I guess there are crossover characters from each book, but the novels are still considered standalones. Some readers seemed to be confused about this on Goodreads thinking they didn't like this book because they needed to read the others. Unless the conclusion blows me away this will be a three star read.

I don't think I have any ARCs due until the end of November, so I am going to read this Netgalley nonARC that archived today, THE WORLD OF POO. And then continue to get my Pratchett on with my own ebook of WEE FREE MEN.
What are you you reading? Tell me!
