Finished Reading
Return to Dyatlov Pass by J.H. Moncrieff ⭐⭐⭐ - This was a fun monster read.
Lyra's Oxford (His Dark Materials #3.5) by Philip Pullman ⭐⭐⭐ - This made me miss Lyra and Will.
The Shadows (The Books of Elsewhere #1) by Jacqueline West ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - I loved this middle grade read.
Currently Reading
Coraline by Neil Gaimen - Coraline is a weekend buddy read this weekend with Emily and Tracy. I'm enjoying finally getting to read it.
Illuminae (The Illuminae Files #1) by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff - You guys were right about Illuminae. This is a fun read so far! It was a random library grab, and now I'm hoping they have the rest!
Recent Acquisitions
Some of my Black Friday purchases were The Little Stranger by Sarah Waters, The Good House by Tananarive Due, and Kindred by Octavia E. Butler. Have you read any of these?

Return to Dyatlov Pass looks kind of awesome...at least from the cover. :)
ReplyDeleteIt was a fun one. That's a good cover. :)
DeleteGlad you had a good Thanksgiving!!! And hopefully you're feeling better. :)
ReplyDeleteReturn to Dyatlov Pass looks nice and scary. and yay for Illuminae!
Thanks! I'm finally starting to feel better today.
DeleteI like that you found a silver lining to be sick. Hope you are feeling better! OMG! I LOVE the Illuminae Files. I had that book on my shelf for over a year, and wanted to kick myself, because it was so good, and is now one of my favorite series. So glad you are enjoying it.
ReplyDeleteSam, I was honestly so happy to just read for a change. :) I'm so glad I took the chance on Illuminae!!
DeleteSorry to hear you were sick on Friday, but yes, that does give you an excuse to stay in bed and read! I have the print copy of Illuminae even though I mostly just buy e-copies now, but it was so neat in the print version! Glad to hear you're enjoying it. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm reading a print copy and it's massive! I love it, though.
DeleteI loved reading Coraline and I can't wait to read Illuminae soon!
ReplyDeleteHere’s my Sunday Post!

Coraline turned out to be a cute read.
DeleteI LOVED the Elsewhere Series, I read all of them except I never got to the last one. I would love to read those again. Such a great series! :)
ReplyDeleteThe first book was so great! I definitely need to read the rest!
DeleteI will have to check out The Shadows. I like MG horror/thrillers and find them to be right up my alley. Glad you enjoyed it! I still haven't read a HP book or seen a movie. I consider myself elite because of it. I am not on that bandwagon so to speak.
ReplyDeleteMary
Haha. I can't believe you've had no HP especially since you like MG horror.
DeleteYay, you're reading Illuminae! When I first saw the book I thought it would be 90% gimmick, but I was surprised at how much I loved the story and enjoyed the visuals that came along with the experience! I hope your library will have the rest too, because the entire trilogy is so worth it!

It's so good! I wasn't sure I was even going to read it. I'm so glad I am!
DeleteSorry you’re sick, but I’m glad you had a good Thanksgiving and got lots of reading done. I really liked Illuminae. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteAj @ Read All The Things!
Thanks! I get kind of angry about being sick, but I really have enjoyed the downtime.
DeleteI'm suddenly realising I'm running out of time for SF month and there are 5 books I wanted to get read before the end of the month! Darn! I might try to squeeze Illuminae in or get to it next month maybe! Hope you feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteI forgot all about scifi month until it was already full swing. Hopefully I can jump back in next year. It looks like everyone is having a great time.
DeleteI've been meaning to read The Little Stranger. Enjoy your books, and thanks for sharing. Thanks for visiting my blog.
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping to read The Little Stranger at some point next year.
DeleteI read The Good House years ago before I even started blogging or writing reviews. I do remember really loving it!
ReplyDeleteI'm excited to read it. I plan to read a few of Tananarive Due's books next year.
DeleteNice looking assortment of books. Come see my week here. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kathy!
DeleteI am not sure Illuminae is for me but I know so many readers have loved it.
ReplyDeleteIlluminae is surprising me.
DeleteI ordered Illuminae and can't wait to read it! Enjoy your week ;-)
ReplyDeleteYay! It's so good! Let me know what you think of it.
DeleteReading in bed on Black Friday sounds nice. I do hope you're feeling better though. I'm glad to hear that you're enjoying Illuminae. I still need to read the third book in the series but loved the first two books.
ReplyDeleteI think my library only has the second Illuminae book and not the third. Hopefully they will order it for me!
DeleteI hope you feel better and that you have a nice week.
ReplyDeleteI'm feeling better, thank you!
DeleteLots of familiar titles on your list. Great books. Have a good week. My weekly update
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteI have only read Illuminae from your list. I did enjoy that one but still need to complete the series. I feel like I should read Coraline at some point. Glad you had a great Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to have finally read Coraline. I need to watch the movie now. :)
DeleteYay for time in bed reading. I hope you are feeling better now. I also perused the book and audio deals for Black Friday/Cyber Monday. Enjoy your reading this week! Anne - Books of My Heart
ReplyDeleteThanks, Anne. I'm feeling much better now.
DeleteI loved The Little Stranger, and Illuminae is amazing! I still need to read the third book, but it's such a good and consistent trilogy.
