It's Monday! What are you reading?













I am currently reading Vampire Academy (Vampire Academy, book 1) by Richelle Mead and The Hunted of 2060 by Amy Blackwelder.  Reviews soon to come!  Visit the teaser for The Hunted of 2060.


This past week I finished reading Ballad: Gathering of Faerie (Books of Faerie, book 2) by Maggie Stiefvater and Ink Exchange (Wicked Lovely, book 2) by Melissa Marr.  For a discussion of these books check out my post Changing Voices.  I also read Blue Bloods (Blue Bloods, book 1) by Melissa de la Cruz.  Visit my review here.


I have also been working on the guest author line up for June.  So far, we have seven confirmed authors visiting for guest blogs and interviews!  Check the right side-bar for the upcoming guest author schedule.  


This past week has also seen a continued increase in followers.  Thank you!  As From the Shadows nears 300 followers I am ordering books for my upcoming 300 Follower Giveaway.  I have copies of Blue Bloods, Vampire Academy, and Shadows of Myth and Legend (my newly released collection of dark paranormal poetry) en route!

Tomorrow I hope to begin reading Poison Study (Study, book 1) by Maria V. Snyder.  I also plan to begin reading Spirit by Andrew Feder and Beyond the Map's Boundary by Nibi Soto as soon as they arrive later this week.

What Are You Reading, a meme hosted by One Person's Journey through a World of Books, is where we gather to share what we have read this past week and what we plan to read this week.  It is a great way to network with other bloggers, see some wonderful blogs, and put new titles on your reading list.

  1. You read some awesome books. The Hunted sound fantastic and I am very interested in reading The Ballad. I also want to read the Poison Study, as I recently read Storm Glass and realize that this series came after the Poison Study series.

    Have a great week.

    I agree with Laurel - I think it IS Angeline Jolie, but then, could it really be?

  10. I recently read Melissa Marr's free ebook/short story Stopping Time.(Actually it was the first thing I downloaded when I bought my nook). I have Radiant Shadows in my stack, but I'm afraid it will be some time before it gets to the top.

    Of to check out your poetry book on Smashwords. Good Luck!
