I didn’t realize I finished so many books this week. I read Each Little Lie by Tom Bale as part of the Late-A-Thon and the #JanJamJar and I ended up enjoying it. My review for this will be going up tomorrow. Pretty Broken Girl was part of #JanJamJar and I ended up enjoying this one a well. The review for this one will be going up later this week. Last up I finished All Your Perfects by Colleen Hoover last night. This was my first book for #Romanceopoly. I flew through this book. I read it in 2 sittings and I loved it. All of these books were 4 stars except All Your Perfects was 4.5 stars.
I am reading Pet Sematary by Stephen king as part of the Stephen King readalong that Janel hosts on Instagram. Our first discussion on it was for part one so once I read up to that point I stopped but now that our first discussion is over I will be picking this one back up. I’m currently 292 pages in which is just over halfway through. I picked up A Study in Scarlet by Arthur Conan Doyle yesterday as part of the #CatchUpOnClassics challenge I am participating in. I read part one of that yesterday and I will read part two today which will bring me to the end of the book. I am listening to the audiobook of this while following along in the book. I am really enjoying this a lot more than I thought I would.
My next #JanJamJar pick was The Sun Is Also A Star by Nicola Yoon which I am really excited to finally read. The next #Romanceopoly book is Rhythm, Chord & Malykhin by Mariana Zapata which I know absolutely nothing about besides what the synopsis says. The point of this challenge was to get me reading outside of my normal romance zone so lets see if I end up liking this book.
Credit as always to The Book Date. Have you read any of the books I mentioned? What did you think of them if you have? What have you been reading lately? What are your reading plans for the week? I feel like I am doing pretty good at sticking to my challenges so far but it’s only 14 days into the year so lets see how long I keep this up.
How is the Pet one? I have wanted to read it

I’m really enjoying it. For me it’s actually been an easy King book to read.

Good to hear! I have the theory that his books, his old books, are better than the new ones 😀 have you read Salem’s Lot?

I am new to reading King books. I’ve only read a handful and none of them have been his new ones yet. I haven’t read Salem’s Lot but I will eventually.

Good! Enjoy discovering the Kings reading! 🙂
As a friendly tip, do the old ones first 🙂

Thank you. So far that’s how it’s worked out. I’m participating in a Stephen King readalong on Instagram so I don’t really have a say in what books we read each month but so far it’s been older ones.

I’m currently reading The Magicians by Lev Grossman. After that, I want to read The Lightning Thief. I want to clear out some titles that I should have read by now.

How are you enjoying The Magicians?? This year I’m trying to somewhat focus on books that I have on my shelves already.

Don’t care for it much, truth be told. I am just interested enough to have some curiosity about how it ends, but not interested enough to read the trilogy, though I’ve heard the other books are far better

I am reading an ARC of that I won from someone who didn’t want it anymore. I’m currently 50 pages in and I honestly don’t know how I feel yet. It seems like I’m reading so many different things.
