A weekly event hosted by J. Kaye’s Book Blog to discuss your reading week ~ the books you've read and those you plan on reading in the coming week. A very slow reading week for me with nothing finished so my list is the same as last week. Too much sun and soccer to really get stuck into reading but I'm back from holidays now and I'm hoping to get heaps of reading done this week.
This Week's Reading List:
ONE FOOT IN THE GRAVE by Jeaniene Frost - page 177
ALONG FOR THE RIDE by Sarah Dessen
SHIVER by Maggie Stiefvater (audiobook) - chapter 24
AN ECHO IN THE BONE by Diana Gabaldon
************
Mailbox MondayThank you to Marcia at The Printed Page for hosting Mailbox Monday every week.
Just the one book in my mailbox this week. How about you?
Defenders of the Scroll by Shiraz - from the author for review.
A teenage boy.
A dark wizard.
A mystic scroll.
And the fate of a world hangs in the balance...
When Alex "the Axeman" Logan is pulled from his world to help a young princess, named Dara, save her kingdom from the Shadow Lord, he thinks there has been a mistake. He's a teen guitar player close to failing 11th grade, not some defender of the realm. All he has are some school books, his wits, and his love of fantasy movies.
Overnight his life is history. Alex must confront the Shadow Lord and his minions when he is thrust into a land that has changed from a magical paradise to a barren, hopeless, helpless realm invaded by a dark army. But Alex is not alone. He has the help of Dara, a magic scroll, and a band of unlikely companions drawn from his own history books: a hardened Roman Legionnaire, a swift Japanese Samurai, a fearless African Warrior, a fiery Amazon Archer, and a spirited Shaolin Monk.
To celebrate my 1st Blogoversary two lucky readers can take their pick from a choice of 6 books in this month's spookalicious competition. Check this blog post for details. International entrants welcome.
Defenders sounds pretty cool!! Hope you enjoy that one. I really liked Along for the Ride....Of course I would love to read An Echo in the Bone soon...I think I'm going to have to break down and just buy it!!
ReplyDeleteI've seen Defenders of the Scroll on one other blog and it sounds really interesting. :)
ReplyDeleteLove the covers of a few of your books for this week.
Here's my Mailbox! ~ Wendi
Looks like you've got some great reads to come this week! I really have to start Shiver soon, I have it here.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your books!
Shiver! I really liked that book :D Its...different from other YAs I think. And I should get a move on Defender as well.
ReplyDeleteAH WELL!
:D
Nice week for you, reading and mailbox wise :)
ReplyDeleteI'm waiting to read Shiver. Defenders of the Scroll sounds like it'll be a fun read.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week ahead
Here's my post
I look forward to your review of One Foot in the Grave. Have a great reading week.
ReplyDeleteShiver looks good! Can't wait to read your review.
ReplyDeleteHERE'S MINE
Sassy
:)
The week before I just had one book and it was the very same one! It looks good!
ReplyDeleteBoy, you really read a lot of good books. I've never read Sarah Dessen. I've heard a lot of friends talk about her. I think there was a challenge. I bet she's a good author. Have to try her.
ReplyDeleteIt looks as though you have an excellent line-up this week. I have Shiver on my TBRL.
ReplyDeleteMine is here: http://rundpinne.blogspot.com/2009/10/what-are-you-reading-monday.html
Happy Monday. Enjoy your reading week.
ReplyDeleteI am interested in hearing more about Echo In The Bone. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the Diana Gabaldon book. I've only read OUTLANDER so I'm way behind.

Enjoy the books you got!
ReplyDeleteI still haven't gotten my copy of Maggie Stiefvater's book! It's with HUSH, HUSH and I think that is what the hold up is. How are you enjoying it so far?
ReplyDeleteI received Defenders as well. I loved Shiver and have Along for The Ride to read. Enjoy your books.
ReplyDeleteYou have some great books lined up this week! I'm kind of jealous, actually ;)
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy them!
Echo in the Bone is on my list of books to eventually read -- I really like all of Gabaldon's books!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you have a awesome reading list in story. Anything Jeaniene Frost and Shiver are very good reads.
ReplyDeleteI've heard good things about Along For The Ride!
ReplyDeleteJ.Kaye, I'm really enjoying Shiver but must admit I found the guy's voice on audio a little annoying to start with. Getting used to it now and the story is great so I think it would be a terrific one to read!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great week you have ahead! I want to read every one of those books. I hope you enjoy them all!
ReplyDeleteI love Jeaniene Frost!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week! :D
oh I will be reviewing defenders of the scroll too! In December actually.
ReplyDeleteMy mom has the Gabaldon book but she is holding out on reading it. She knows it's going to be a long while until the next book!
Then I am glad that I am getting Shiver in paper. ;)
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a good one. Will have to show my middle schooler and see if he's interested.
ReplyDeleteOh, and thanks for siccing Alaine on me. She's already been by to chew me out for my lack of reviews. Good girl that I am, I've already buckled down and written one. LOL!
I've heard good things about An Echo in the Bone, I'll be interested in your review.
ReplyDeleteI first heard of defenders when Ryan @Wordsmithonia reviewed it. He loved it.
Happy Reading!
We just got Defenders of the Scroll in the mail. Not sure about the cover but hope the content is good.
