Wednesday Reads (on a Thursday night, again) - 17 July


I'd change it to Thursday reads, but then I'd probably just end up posting on Fridays.

What I've just finished reading
The Captive of Kensington Palace, by Jean Plaidy
- as I said last week, I never really intended to read the Victoria books, but it was one of those moments when they were just There. It has confirmed that I definitely want to read the Georgian saga, however. 

The One, by Kiera Cass.  This was basically a scan-read to find out how the story ended.  I did enjoy it, and I have to admit that a blurb quote mentioning The Selection as something that would interest readers of Allie Condie's Matched has got me interested in Matched.

What I'm reading now
Musketeer Space, by Tansy Rayner Roberts - the serialised genderbending Musketeers in space.

Escape from Cockatoo Island, by Yvette Poshoglian

What I'll be reading next
Hild.  Really.


Thursday 10 July 2014

Wednesday Reads (on a Thursday night) - 10 July 2014

What I've finished reading:
Blue Holes to Terror, by Trish Kocialski
Helping Little Star, by Blaze Kwaymullina and Sally Morgan

What I'm reading now:
The Captive of Kensington Palace, by Jean Plaidy - I never really meant to read the Victoria books.  I guess I'm reading them now.
Four Queens, by Nancy Goldstone - picked it up again one morning this week when I couldn't sleep.  Really enjoying it now that I'm back into it.
The Shadow of Saganami, by David Weber - I needed something lightweight to read on the bus trip to OzComicCon, that was on my Kobo.
Deadly Challenge, by Trish Kocialski

What I'll read next:
Hild, by Nicola Griffiths
A Lesson for Lina, by Sally Rippin
The One, by Kiera Cass


I have some ideas for this blog into the future and I hope that I'll get working on those plans sooner rather than later.

Wednesday Reads - 2 July 2014

I'm on holidays from work this week, so I'm consciously staying away from my ponderings about library users as citizens.

But I am doing some reading!

This may or may not represent current or future reading.


What I've just finished reading:
Forces of Evil by Trish Kocialski (e/web)
The Maid and the Queen by Nancy Goldstone (review to come soon)

What I'm reading now:
Helping Little Star by Sally Morgan and Blaze Kwaymullina
Blue Holes to Terror by Trish Kocialski (e/web)
Musketeer Space by Tracy Rayner Roberts - a serialised gender-swapped retelling of The Three Musketeers set in space.  I'm contributing to this project through Patreon.

What I'll read next:

Hild.  Definitely Hild.  Also The One.
