It’s Monday! What Are You Reading is where we gather to share what we have read this past week and what we plan to read this week. It is a great way to network with other bloggers, see some wonderful blogs, and put new titles on your reading list.
Other Than Reading...
This was mid-quarter week and Homecoming Week at school. The Elementary remained a relatively quiet oasis though. Our only disturbance was a fire drill on one of the nice, non-rainy days.
Thursday evening a friend and I drove up to the Twin Cities for the Fierce Reads Tour stop. I got to meet Caleb Roehrig, Emma Mills, Kami Garcia, and Marissa Meyer. I had read the the ARCs for the books by Roehrig and Garcia. So I bought finished copies to donate to my MS/HS Media Center. I bought Emma Mills book and will read it before I donate it. I had my copy of Cinder autographed. I also got all their signatures in my "authors I have met" book. It was a nice event but the pouring rain made the drive back home much more stressful than I like.
Read Last Week
Shadow of Victory by David Weber was the latest in his long-running Honor Harrington series (though she just makes a cameo in it.) It weaves a large number of plot threads all about the Mesan Alliance's plans to defeat Manticore and destabilize the Verge. My review will be posted on October 29.

ReplyDeleteThat's great that you got to meet several authors. Also love that you are going to donate the books you got. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI love your idea of a book to collect authors' signatures. I may have to start one myself. The Krentz book looks interesting. Happy reading!

That's a lot of books! I bet that Fierce Reads stop was great! That reminds me I still need to read Cinder - some day...
ReplyDeleteWhen She's Gone sounds interesting. So many books though where do you start?
ReplyDeleteThat's so great about the meeting those authors although I'm sorry about the trip home! Menagerie looks great and is on my TBR but it's somewhere deep in the mountain right now.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know Chelsea Quinn Yarbro had a new series. And it looks good too! Happy reading!
