TELL ME TUESDAY is a floating feature, depending on your reading style, where you tell us what you read last, what you are reading now, 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...
Go have a peek at their latest grabs and tell them yours!
LAST
I am not exactly finished with this book yet, but I am so close to the end nothing will waver my rating more than half a star, so I am going to predict with the utmost confidence that this will be a three star read for me, but wobbling so close to the edge that a weak or wonky ending will tip it to 2.5 stars. This story was all over the place on many levels. However, I did like the storyline and seeing this is a debut author I will definitely read the sequel. It counts towards my COYER, Rock My TBR, and NG/EW challenges.
NOW
I will be starting this Middle Grade from Netgalley tonight. I love the cover! I am also going to kick into gear with my buddy read of THORN with Pili. I kind of stalled out at 42% because of my struggles with The Girl From Everywhere.
NEXT
Another Middle Grade, this time from Edelweiss. It is based on the real life childhood friendship of Harper Lee and Truman Capote.
What are you reading? Tell me!
I'm sorry to hear you didn't like The Girl From Everywhere all that much, I loved it!
ReplyDeleteThere were too many continuity problems for me and wild extremes in her writing style. I will read the sequel though. :)
DeleteAww, too bad you didn't enjoy Girl From Everywhere. I just liked that it felt...different.
ReplyDeleteThere were just too many problems with the writing for me. It gfelt very amateur. :P
DeleteTru and Nelle sounds really wonderful. Their friendship has always interested me because in some ways they seem so incredibly different. That's too bad about Girl From Everywhere. The blurb hadn't really grabbed me but it is a bit disappointing when a book doesn't quite come together for you.
ReplyDeleteIt is even worse when the storyline is fresh. It seems to me that authors and publishers are taking less and less time on their books. Quantity over quality and it is very disheartening. I only learned of the Harper Lee - Truman Capote friendship last year and was thrilled when I saw the book. :)
DeleteI have read many reviews like yours. The story is all over the place. You really don't want to know what is in my tbr and what I'm reading now or next! LOL I'm a mess right now. Have been for a few months. a 90% rate of DNF, reading at least six books at the time... I just sent you a GR friend request so you can witness it yourself :)
ReplyDeleteRight now (which will change in 5...4..3..2..1) I'm reading Young Elites, Miss Peregrine, Fury's Kiss, City of Ashes and my FAVORITE like in I'm gonna need 2 additional stars to rate it... Red Blood Road!!! I'm in love with Moira for writing that book!
I will friend you. I need to get Miss Peregrine's read too. It, and the sequel, have been sitting on my shelf for too long. :)
DeleteThe Charlie Price book has the cutest cover!
ReplyDeleteI am currently reading three books, Golden Son by Pierce Brown, Glass Sword by Victoria Aveyard and a book called Sushi and Donuts about a guy who cycles across Japan, all very good!
Oh, Sushi and Donuts sounds wonderful! I hope to get the Red Rising books read this summer. Fingers crossed! I don't think there have been any of you, whom I follow, who jasven't lobed the books. :)
