It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? 11/19/18

Last Week

This week I started with The Lady’s Guide to Petticoats and Piracy by Mackenzi Lee – which I thoroughly enjoyed – historical fiction mixed with magical realism and some kick butt women make for a great adventure YA novel. My fingers are crossed that Mackenzi is going to write a novel from Sim’s perspective!

I also read The Lifters by Dave Eggers which was really interesting! It’s about a boy who moves to a new town that used to create beautiful carousels, but with new electronic games and roller coasters that turn and flip you around, fewer and fewer people commissioned carousels, until the factory had to close. Now, strange sinkholes begin appearing at an alarming rate throughout town. The boy meets a friend who might just be able to explain what is going on.

And yesterday, I flew through Sanity and Tallulah by Molly Brooks – a science fiction graphic novel about two young girls living on a space station on the far reaches of the galaxy. When their space station starts having mechanical errors, the girls must find the cause before it’s too late!

Reading List for Week of 11/19/18

It’s a holiday week for me, which means that even though I think I’ll get so much reading done, in all likelihood, I’ll have very little time to read. I’ve got so many amazing tittles to read this week, but I started with Betty Before X by Ilyasah Shabazz and Renée Watson. Plus, I’ve got No Fixed Address by Susin Nielsen, The Boy From Tomorrow by Camille DeAngelis, A Problematic Paradox by Eliot Sappingfield, Small Spaces by Katherine Arden, and The Vanderbeekers and the Hidden Garden by Karina Yan Glaser from the library. And not to mention, The Simple Art of Flying by Cory Leonardo, It Wasn’t Me by Dana Alison Levy, and Song for a Whale by Lynn Kelly through Netgalley. I better get some reading done this week to catch up with all these titles!
