>> JUST FINISHED <<
I'm cleaning out both my Currently Reading and library piles (mostly manga) in preparation for The Bone Season readalong next week, and I finished so many good books in the last few days I just had to mention them!
Shutter by Courtney Alameda (ARC)
4.5 Stars! I almost never read horror, but when I discovered this was about a girl who hunts the undead with an analog camera, it was just too interesting not to read. And it turned out even better than I'd hoped - thrilling story, chilling writing, and strong, capable characters. If you can stomach a few scenes of disturbing images and some violence, I recommend it for anyone who loves a stellar read. And I highly recommend it for fans of the manga series, Blue Exorcist. Review to come!
Etiquette & Espionage by Gail Carriger (Pbk)
My 4th re-read, and as always it was just as enjoyable a read as the times before! Gail has such a delightful and witty way with words, how she strings them together simply never get old.
Be a Perfect Person in Just Three Days! by Stephen Manes (Pbk)
My parents read this after seeing it at a local school where they volunteer, and to get in on the wacky discussion they were having I decided to read it as well. It took me less than an hour. An amusing and playful story about how one can really be a perfect person - and if it's really worth it.
Nothing Can Possibly Go Wrong by Prudence Shen & Faith Erin Hicks (Pbk)
Nerds and jocks/cheerleaders working together for a common cause (money, yes, but a cause none the less) - always a beautiful thing. A quick, fun and funny read with a little something for everyone: smear campaigns, robot battles, basketball, family drama, male hysterics, and an eex-cellent ending.
Jiu Jiu Vol. 1 by Touya Tobina (Pbk)
Grabbed this from the library purely on a whim with no idea what it was about and was pleasantly surprised to discover just my kind of series! Dark but humorous about a demon hunter girl and the brother wolves she raises. Can't wait to read more.
