Even though I was on Spring Break this week, I was sick. I just didn’t get much reading done. I was trying to make sure I finished the Slice of Life challenge and working on some other writing. I was also just feeling yucky and the sinus headaches really stopped me from reading. So the list of books I finished is really short.
Books I Finished This Week:
I enjoyed the second installment of the Seven Wonders series by Peter Lerangis. There are some good twists and turns to the plot and I know that some of my students who love a good mystery/adventure will love this one too. I am excited to get to the other three books in the series soon.
Steal Like an Artist by Austin Kleon was a really quick read, but it has really powerful ideas. I enjoyed reading the book and I like how it helped me open my mind a little more about being creative and how to do so.
Books I Am Currently Reading:
I am almost finished listening to Queen of Shadows. I love this series. I am also reading Carry On by Rainbow Rowell. It is such fun!
What’s Next?
Well, I will probably get to book three in the Seven Wonders series. I also have Death Comes to Pemberly by P.D.James from the library, along with a couple self-help books that I will want to dive into. I guess it will depend on my mood and on how much reading I can get done this week.
What are you reading this week? I would love to hear from you in the comments!
I definitely want to reread Steal Like an Artist at some point. It’s such a quick, breezy read, but there’s also a lot there to think about. I feel like I was reading it so quickly that I didn’t fully absorb everything I could have. Sorry you’ve been sick! I really hate when I’m sick AND I don’t get a lot of reading done. Also just discovered that I’m no longer following your blog somehow! Need to get you added to Feedly directly so I don’t miss any more of your posts! Yikes!
I recently changed to a self-hosted site, so I am probably to blame for the fact that you aren’t following. Sorry!
I’ve heard good things about Steal Like An Artist. Thanks for reminding me about it. And, I have Carry On, must get to it, Andrea. Glad you are saying you’re enjoying it.
