I’ll probably take a break from these this month because of Camp NaNo and schoolwork, but here’s one since I finished a book this week. This is the meme hosted by samannelizabeth.
Three W’s:
What are you currently reading?
What did you recently finish reading?
What do you think you’ll read next?
What I’m Reading:
Palace of Stone by Shannon Hale
Cute so far. I’m interested to see where this leads! It’s got a really good set up, and I am enjoying the male love interest a lot. I hope he stays. (YA has taught me to fear the love triangle. Since this is MG, hopefully it won’t fall into that trap.) Tamora Pierce says it’s better than the first one though, so I’m looking forward to being surprised.
What I Recently Finished:
The Thief by Megan Whalen Turner
All in all, I really enjoyed this book. The writing was beautiful, and the world-building was quite nice, and the characters were amazing. I loved all of the travel companions, especially Pol and Sophos. Our main character Gen was fantastic! However, some parts of the story were a bit slow and repetitive. The characters are on the road most of the time, and the plot is fairly simple. Man hires thief to steal thing. The second half of the book picks up pace quickly. At that point, it became impossible to put down until I’d finished!
What I’ll Read Soon:
The Queen of Attolia by Megan Whalen Turner
I really liked the first book, and I’ve heard the second is much better. Hopefully it’ll blow me away. I’m very impressed with Megan Whalen Turner. There’s four books in this series so far. Rumor has it there will be two more. Excited to devour more of this!
Have you read any of these books? Interested in any of these books? Please share in the comments below.
Have to admit I haven’t come across any of the books on your list this week but they do sound good. I really shouldn’t be adding anything else to my TBR but I know doubt will 🙂

Both The Thief and Palace of Stones are quick reads. I’ve been trying to find shorter books lately because I haven’t had as much time to read. I’d certainly recommend The Thief if you want to slip in an extra one. Though it’ll likely make you want to read the other books in the series which are longer. Lol. 🙂

First books in series are always dangerous 🙂 I thought I’d just sneak in Never Never because is was short and ended up reading the other 2 books in the series straight after. oops 🙂

I haven’t heard of any of these books but I quite like the sound of the Shannon Hale novel – I think I’ll look out for that one. I hope Camp NaNo goes well for you this month.

Thanks! If you’re interested in the Shannon Hale books, it starts with Princess Academy, which I finished last week. Quick and entertaining read!

Thank you for letting me know that. I like to read a series in order so I’m glad to know which is the first one. 🙂

I like the sounds of The Thief, particularly if it’s a quick read and good enough for you to move straight onto the sequel 🙂
I fear love triangles too! It’s so rare to see them well done, mostly because the two love interests are in no way evenly weighted and you can immediately tell how it’s going to go.
