LAST WEEK'S TMT

★★★★★

(4.5)

The first book in this series was one of those stories that I wanted to give a sixth star to, and the second book was a solid four stars that I sometimes think I should give an extra half star. This book was not as good as the first one in my opinion and I almost gave it four stars, but if the first title didn't exist to compare it to, I would have given it five stars, so 4.5 it is! Does this make sense? Ha ha. I was reading it in a group read and got a little carried away and finished early. Oops!

If you want to join Annemieke's BARTIMAEUS SERIES read-a-long hop on over to her blog, A DANCE WITH BOOKS. The first discussion isn't until September 22nd. I love Stroud's writing style. I found the entire quartet on HOOPLA.

YOUNG ADULT

DYSTOPIAN

Publishes September 18th - publisher

The writing is good, but it's a bit too graphically violent for me. Gun violence always brothers me more anyway.

I was sent an invitation from Harper Collins to receive an ARC of the sequel MELMOTH, so I figured I needed to read this. Heh heh. It was on my tbr anyway. I was happy to see HOOPLA had the audiobook. The story is word dense, so I am appreciating being able to listen to it. The MC's young son is autistic, in my summation, and it is interesting to see how he is viewed through Victorian eyes.

It seems that sometimes the book blogging world forgets there is anything other than Young Adult out there. I have been reading a lot more Middle Grade, Adult Fiction, and Memoirs over the last two years and here are some of my favorites...

These are Adult Fiction and Memoirs. Someone on Twitter was suggesting that more people want to read about characters in their twenties, and publishers need to take more notice of New Adult books, but do readers realize a lot of Adult Fiction is about people in their twenties?

 Many readers pick up a fluffy Contemporary when they need a palate cleanser, or a story to stave off a reading slump, but I reach for Middle Grade! They almost always end on a positive note.

What are you reading? Tell me!
