This is my first time participating in "It's Monday! What are You Reading," a weekly meme created and hosted by BookJourney.
I'm also reading an epic poem called The Epic of Clair by E.C. Hansen, which I won through the Goodreads giveaway program. The book is about "an anxious girl who runs literary messages for witches in a post-carbon Twin cities."The book itself will not be released until October 7, 2014, but it appears that I have won a finished copy of the book. I'll be sure to post a review closer to the publication date.
I hope everyone has a good week. I can't wait to see what you're reading this week.

I hadn't heard of 13 Reasons Why, I can't wait for you to review it! The Epic of Clair seems like an interesting poem to read. What encourages you to read poetry? Since graduating, the only poems I get a hold of are for the kids I work with.
ReplyDeleteTara, Thirteen Reasons Why has been out for a while, and I've been seeing it at like every Target I go to. They also have so many new copies at Half Price Books all the time so I figured I needed to read it too.
ReplyDeleteNothing really encourages me to read poetry. I've always liked it. I guess reading it just helps strengthen my analysis skills for when I have to teach it.
I've heard so much about Thirteen Reasons Why, and the cover is gorgeous. I can't wait to read it in the near future~ Although it does sound rather depressing, haha.
ReplyDeleteThis week I'm reading The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey and Dorothy Must Die by Danielle Paige. I'm hoping to get to Spirit Bound, the 5th book in the Vampire Academy series, but I'm not sure (:
Connie, I read both Dorothy Must Die and The 5th Wave. Both are great reads.
ReplyDeleteThirteen Reasons Why is supposed to be depressing. I just got to a rather shocking chapter, but that's all so far.
I love the Goodreads giveaways. Congrats on winning and welcome to "It's Monday!" :)
ReplyDeleteI do too, Lindsey. I have won so many great books through it.
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks! :)
I'm in between books right now but will be starting On the Fence soon. I've never read a book of poetry as a young adult book. Should be interesting :) Hope you enjoy both!
ReplyDeleteI had mixed feelings about Thirteen Reasons Why when I read it too. But I hope you enjoy. I recently had the opportunity to meet Jay Asher.
ReplyDeleteI didn't like 13 Reasons Why as much as I thought I would, it was a disappointment. I had some serious issues with it, but I still haven't come around to write my review, oops :). I hope it turns out better for you though! Thanks for stopping by my blog :)
ReplyDeleteJo and Lanaia, I ended up disliking Thirteen Reasons Why. I really wanted to like it, but I didn't. :/
ReplyDeleteI quite liked 13 reasons why but some bits were a little disturbing.. I know that was the aim but I didn't really connect to it well.
ReplyDeleteI ended up disliking the book, but I felt like it was choppy, if that makes any sense. The random thoughts thrown in while Hannah's tape really stopped the flow of her story for me. I think it would have been better if most of the thoughts came after the tapes paused.
