Tell Me Tuesdays is a meme/feature created by the awesome ladies of Please Feed The Bookworm and La La In The Library where we can share how we choose the book we are currently reading from our TBR pile!
I'm always curious about that, cause as much as I tend to make myself a rough schedule for books to read and the like, I'm quite a mood reader and sometimes I just HAVE to ignore my schedule and read something else!
If high school is all about social status, Indigo Blackwood has it made. Sure, her quirky mom owns an occult shop, and a nerd just won’t stop trying to be her friend, but Indie is a popular cheerleader with a football-star boyfriend and a social circle powerful enough to ruin everyone at school. Who wouldn’t want to be her?
Then a guy dies right before her eyes. And the dusty old family Bible her mom is freakishly possessive of is stolen. But it’s when a frustratingly sexy stranger named Bishop enters Indie’s world that she learns her destiny involves a lot more than pom-poms and parties. If she doesn’t get the Bible back, every witch on the planet will die. And that’s seriously bad news for Indie, because according to Bishop, she’s a witch too.
Suddenly forced into a centuries-old war between witches and sorcerers, Indie’s about to uncover the many dark truths about her life—and a future unlike any she ever imagined on top of the cheer pyramid.
I got Hexed in the mail a pair of weeks back and when one Becca from Pivot Book Reviews saw it suggested that we'd do a buddy read for it, so that's why Hexed is the book I'm reading right now as I just started it last night, after finishing Unwept last night!.
So what are you all guys reading and how and why did you decide to pick up that book? Shiny new ARC? Comfort read? Scheduled for review? Must have new release? Tell me!!
I'm about to start Mortal Danger by Ann Aguierre. I'm excited to try it as I haven't read anything by her before..
ReplyDeleteHappy REading!
Jen @ YA Romantics
Ooooh, I'm so very curious about that one! I read the chapter sampler and am quite intrigued, cannot wait to hear what you think!
DeleteRight now I'm reading The Stone of Destiny by Laura Howard. It's SO good and Ethan is to swoon for! This is an ARC I got a while ago and it was next on my list, more or less.
ReplyDeleteHehehehe, we all do that sometimes! =D ARCs can get bumped up on the queue as needed!
DeleteI'm the opposite of you. I can't plan out a list. If I plan something out (like for a read-a-thon), it's pretty much a surefire way of NOT reading those books!! I just read what I'm in the mood for. Right now I am reading Nil by Lynne Matson and listening to The Grimm Legacy by Polly Shulman. Both are great so far. Next up is either Peter Pan Must Die by John Verdon or Innocent Prey by Maggie Shayne. The Verdon is one I've been waiting on (released today) as it's a series I follow, and the Shayne is an ARC from NetGalley, also a series I follow so I'm excited about that one.
ReplyDeleteI plan but I don't always follow my plans... I'm also a bit of mood reader, but I always try to read my ARCs in time!
DeleteYay :D Hope you are loving Hexed. <3 I also have it. Reading it.. someday, lol :) Have so many ARCs to read.. currently reading The Queen of the Tearling. As I am on the International blog tour on July 11th. <3 :)
ReplyDeleteI hope you're enjoying The Queen of the Tearling!!
DeleteI can't stay away from bloggin!! I won't do my official post but I had to stop in on my Tell Me lovelies! I am super duper excited for this! It looks perfect for me. I got a bunch of approvals from Netgalley so I'm plowing thru those but I'm really enjoying Salt & Storm so far. Next up is The Walled City, another exciting approval!! Till next week :-)
ReplyDeleteOooooh, so excited! I got rejected for Salt & Storm and The Walled City, so I cannot wait to hear what you think about them!
DeleteLooking forward to seeing what you think of this one Pili! I've read wildly varying reviews for it, but I'm still really excited to read it myself and am hoping you enjoy it. I could go for a great witch story right now!
ReplyDeleteSo far I'm really liking it, Jenny! I'll be posting my review next week!
DeleteOoo, I've never heard of this meme. Sounds awesome! And I actually just read a DNF review for this book, so I'll be skipping it D: Not a big fan of witch books anyway.
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoy!
Alyssa @ The Eater of Books!
I'm quite liking it myself, Alyssa! And yeah, this meme is awesome! =D
DeleteOh, I really, really, really enjoyed HEXED, despite the mixed reviews, Pili! It's a great story, and I loved the author's writing style! I hope you're loving it, too :)
ReplyDeleteSo far, I'm really liking it too, Melissa! =D
DeleteI've heard a lot of negative things about Hexed, so I don't think I'm too keen on it actually! I'm reading Breaking Butterflies at the moment, it is about mental illness and it's scary o_o
ReplyDeleteSo far I'm liking it myself, Jeann, but yeah I've read a lot of good and bad reviews for this one!
DeleteMental illness books tend to be scary, I can't wait to read your review for that one!
Uh *scratches head* I finished a book and a short story yesterday. Talking after Midnight was a comfort read and I just needed something nice but I had no idea how much I would like it. I mean at first it was all insta-love ... kind of? but then things got rolling and I really liked the main couple and loved how the conflict played out.
ReplyDeleteSilent Blade was interesting... I liked it but for a large chunk I was just surprised because that's not what I usually expect from Ilona Andrews..
Have fun reading Hexed, Pili!! I hope you enjoy it! :)
Rashika @ The Social Potato
Thanks Rashika! Sounds like though surprising you really enjoyed both your reads!
DeleteI'm taking a big review copy break this month (though I still have a handful that I need to get to), so I read Since You've Been Gone yesterday (so good!) and have started Daughter of Smoke and Bone today. I'll be reading a couple others this week as well and I'm really excited for them. :)
ReplyDeleteI have Since You've Been Gone in my wish list! And Daughter of Smoke and Bone!!!! I adore that entire series, so I hope you'll like the book!!
