I am combining these two since I read both. I focus on middle grade (youth), YA and Adult for reviews but on the meme I will posting and share anything I read. Click the Picture to go to it's Goodreads page
What I finished reading last week:
Scrap
by Emory Sharplin
I really ended up enjoying this book! Apparently the author is planning a sequel. I hope she does and that it is out soon. Wonderful medieval-fantasy. See my review here.
Blogging for Dummies
Yes, I realize this is not a novel, but it is a book I finished. While I will not review it I will still mention it here. I mainly went through this book hoping for some new insight to improving this blog. Apparently, after bloggin now for 3 months, this isn't very helpful since be then you are forced to learn by other methods. Still, couple tips I gained which is good.
Dark Swan-Storm Born
by Richelle Mead
Graphic Novel
I love Richelle Mead. Now I need to go hunt down the novel to this. Sadly I read this first. Lots of fun, but I think the novel will have so much more to it. See me review here.
Books I have made Progress in:
Beautiful Creatures
Now on Page 300
So far I am enjoying it. It is not so far and wonderful that I want to read it in a couple sittings but it is still good.
Their Baby Miracle
Page 24
Just beginning this book. So far I have mixed emotions. So far the main female character, Reba, does not impress me but the 'miracle' idea does. We shall see....
Books I want to start reading soon:
A medieval fantasy sounds very interesting especially with a follow up...
ReplyDeleteI'm noticing you have Experiencing God on your shelfari - one book that totally motivated me & now have it on audio as well - perfect for audio week this week !
Enjoy...
I read the book itself but the one I am on now it the accompaning study workbook which is taking a bit longer. I has even more examples, verses and things to think and pray on. It is really good.
DeleteThanks for stopping by!
It's great that you've found a new series :) I hope that the 2nd one comes out soon!
ReplyDeleteBlogging for Dummies sounds like something we could all use, lol.
Have a great week!
It was a great start to series! Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteI should check out Blogging for Dummies. Even after three years of blogging, there's still much to learn. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI think I need HTML more than anything. I can't do design, buttons, etc to save my life and I am too broke to pay so self-teaching it is :)
DeleteThe cover of Scrap is so pretty! I am going to check it out. :)
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!
It is pretty. Although, to be honest, I almost didn't get it because the when I saw the cover I thought of a book genre completely different so I am glad I stopped and read the summary or I'd have missed a great read! Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteI, Minion looks very interesting. Have great week!
ReplyDeleteIt was different. Not bad for a short read (I just finished yesterday). Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteI've been blogging for nearly 5 years, I could probably do with a refresh lol. Love Richelle Mead too but I've only read Vampire Academy series, but I do have other series on Mt TBR,
ReplyDeleteHave a great week and happy reading :)
I think I need something more specific than blogging for dummies. I have only read 8 Richelle Mead books but loved them all. Thanks!
DeleteReading a blogging book when you've invented the wheel yourself isn't that bad. As you say, there are always some tips that might be useful.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a great week.
Thanks! :)
DeleteI know that Beautiful Creatures have been made into a film now. I am sure it's an interesting read. Have a great reading week ahead of you! :)
ReplyDeleteYea, I enjoyed the book, but I just saw the film and didn't care for it. Thanks for stopping by!
Deletewow hats as a wonderful collection of books.w was wondering the book for bloggers since you have mentioned that it didn't help you much so I guess ill give itt a miss..I found your blog through book blogs and I'm a new follower on GFC and bloglovin..do check out mine @ http://booksformee.blogspot.in/
ReplyDeleteThanks for coming by! I will go check out your blog right away. :)
DeleteI'm glad you're enjoying BC :) My fav part is actually the ending, so I was bummed that got changed in the movie :( Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteYea I finished the book and saw the movie this week.....Wasn't a fan of the movie. Thanks for stopping by! :)
DeleteLooks like a good week.
ReplyDeleteENJOY!!!

My It's Monday, What Are You Reading
Thanks!
DeleteI should read Blogging for Dummies. Sounds good. I haven't read a Silhouette Special Edition in awhile. I always loved those books.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!
This one was really good. A little hard at times, striking close to home for some family members, but good. Thanks!
DeleteI had to combine those two blog link ups as well! Glad I'm not the only one. :) I need to check out Blogging for Dummies. I'm sure I would learn something from that one!
ReplyDeleteWell I read a lot of YA and Adult both so this simplifies things. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteI looked up Scrap and it does look good. Actually it looks like the kind of book I'd like to try as an audio.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if I could get any use out of Blogging for Dummies. I've been blogging for years but on such a small scale...
I recommend Scrap more as an audio. It has a lot or world building that changes at various setting as the story progresses so its nice to pause just to envision what is happening. Easier to do, in my opinion, reading it yourself.
DeleteI don't see see any reason not to look into blogging for dummies. Never know where a new idea can come from.
Blogging for Dummies! I don't know why but I find that hilarious. It must be more of an introduction to blogging book? Not surprised to hear you didn't find it all that useful. I have one Dummies book, on knitting, and it didn't work out for me. Their diagrams and directions just weren't easy to follow.
ReplyDeleteHaven't heard of Scrap but it looks good - love a good medieval fantasy!
Yea, some dummy books are nice but others aren't. This one was too broad, offered too many sites, and not enough details, plus out of date on sites.
DeleteScrap was great-I highly recommend it!
