It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? 1/21/18

I’m currently on a reading roll, I love how much time I’m devoting to reading and I feel better for doing so. I tend to feel a little more balanced, relaxed and comfortable when I’m reading regularly. This week I read:

• A Rambler Steals Home by Carter Higgins
• The Poet’s Dog by Patricia MacLachlan
• The Unicorn Quest by Kamilla Benko

And I’m currently at the beginning of The Glass Town Game by Catherynne M. Valente ( a rather lengthy title), but one that I’m intrigued to dive deeper into. This week, I’ve got a HUGE pile of titles at my disposal because I’ll be participating in the 24in48 Readathon where the goal is to read for 24 hours over the weekend (from Saturday at 12:01am to Sunday at 11:59pm). So I’m stocking up on a variety of titles, genres, and formats to ensure that I can power through that much reading! Here’s my list:

• The Art of the Swap by Kristine Asselin and Jen Malone (Netgalley ARC)
• Every Shiny Thing by Cordelia Jensen and Laurie Morrison (Netgalley ARC)
• Saint Philomene’s Infirmary for Magical Creatures by W. Stone Cotter (Netgalley ARC)
