>> CURRENTLY READING <<

I just finished The Rithmatist last night (see below), so I'm going into a new day without a read! In my priority stack are Not In the Script by Amy Finnegan, Tabula Rasa by Kristen Lippert-Martin, Mind Games by Kiersten White, and a re-read of Relax, I'm a Ninja by Natalie Whipple. What to read, what to read...

>> JUST FINISHED <<

The Rithmatist by Brandon Sanderson (ARC)
I must begin by saying it was first and foremost a mystery, and mysteries just aren't my thing. That said, it seemed a well plotted mystery, with a very engaging climax. The end was the best part, when we FINALLY saw some action - the rest of the book focused too much on building the mystery and explaining the complexities of an actually rather simple magic system for me. Up until the last scene I hadn't imagined I would continue the series, but the last scene changed my mind considerably with the promise of much less mystery and much more action in the future. At least, I hope so. Review to come.


>> READING NEXT <<

Since I don't even know what I'm reading now, I have even less of a clue what I'm reading next! Decisions, decisions...

So what are you reading this week?
