Last week I finished:

The Titan’s Curse, by Rick Riordan (Percy Jackson and the Olympians book 3)

City of Glass, by Cassandra Clare (Mortal Instruments book 3)

Both of these have been a turning point in the two series and I’m loving it.

Now I’m reading:

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, by JK Rowling (re-read)

Ready Player One, by Ernest Cline

The Hunger Games, by Suzanne Collins (starting this one today, the book came in later than I expected)

In case anyone hasn’t figured it out yet I’m kinda big on YA fiction lol

I finished Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, by J.K. Rowling (the 10000th re-read)

I also read The exact opposite of okay, by Laura Steven and The Hate U Give, by Angie Thomas

This week was really successful! :)

Just finished The Monkey’s Mask, by Dorothy Porter. It’s one of the weirder books I’ve read recently, since it’s a bog standard thriller murder type deal...but also a book of poetry. The whole thing is poetry.

Still ticking through Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, by JK Rowling. Nostalgia party!

About to start Batavia’s Graveyard, by Mike Dash. It’s a bit of history I sort of know and don’t know at the same time. Everyone in Australia knows the name of the ship, and that there was some kind of fucked up mutiny. Beyond that it’s all going to be new to me.

So i started 3 good books last week.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, by JK Rowling re-read of course. PoA is one of my favorites in the series.

Ready Player One, by Ernest Cline I loved the movie so much that I added the book to my current To-Read list (any new books I find I put them on my next list whoch I’ll get to after this one). Already love it more than the film.

The Hunger Games, by Suzanne Collins much more detailed than the movie although it’s been a minute since I last watched it. The book is going great.

So last week I finished:

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, by JK Rowling (re-read of course)

The Hunger Games, by Suzanne Collins

Ready Player One, by Ernest Cline

This week I’m reading:

City of Fallen Angels, by Cassandra Clare (Mortal Instruments book 4)

The Battle of the Labyrinth, by Rick Riordan (Percy Jackson and the Olympians book 4)

Finished:

All the Light We Cannot See, by Another Doerr - beautiful book. It took me a little to get into it but the beautiful writing kept me motivated to continue and I am glad that it did.

Six of Crows, by Leigh Bardugo - it was good enough that I will read the follow up when it becomes available at my library, but just barely. I found the writing flat and the characters poorly developed and quite frankly, unbelievable. It was fast paced and an easy read though, a good "popcorn" summer book.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, by J.K. Rowling - I have been reading this to my son at bedtime for the past few months and just finally finished. Best out of the three I have read so far but if it wasn't for my son's investment and delight I don't know that I would find it as interesting. We are reading the illustrated versions and are waiting until the next one comes out in October.

​

Started:

Iron Gold, by Pierce Brown

The Thief of Always, by Clive Barker - this is a re-read for me but I am reading it to my son before bed at night (7.5 years old). So far he is captivated which warms my heart as I loved this book as a teenager when it first came out.

Finished listening to Watership Down, by Richard Adams. It was quite enjoyable, and the reader was excellent. Starting Well of Ascension, by Brandon Sanderson, book 2 of the Mistborn series.

Finished reading Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, by JK Rowling and moving right on to The Goblet of Fire. I continue to wish I had read these books when I was younger, they're great!

Finished

Emotional Blackmail by Susan Forward Ph.D. This is an excellent resource to identify and effectively deal with those who use fear, obligation and guilt on you.

Crazy-Stressed by Dr. Michael Bradley This book on teen mental health and how to help them is great.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban by J.K. Rowling I seem to like each book in this series a bit more than the last one.

Started

The Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury. I've been looking forward to reading this novel for a while.

Teenagers 101 by Rebecca Deurlien, Ed.D. Another book on on teen mental help.

Wire Your Brain for Confidence by Louisa Jewell, MAAP, about getting over self-doubt.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, by J. K. Rowling.

The Master Key, by Masako Togawa

I just finished Fool's Assasin, by Robin Hobb, and now I'm very eager to start the next book of the trilogy: Fool's Quest.

I'm also listening to Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, by J.K. Rowling, read by Stephen Fry. Now that I'm listening to the books instead of reading them I've realized that I've memorized some lines, even though I haven't read them in many years.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, by JK Rowling

I realized yesterday that it had been almost a decade since I read the series in its entirety and I wanted to remedy that so I sped my through the first two. Azkaban may be my favorite...it's tough to choose between it and Order of the Phoenix.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, by J.K. Rowling

After reading the first two again, I was amazed at the changes I noticed in Rowling's writing style. It's been fun to see her mature as an author as the series progresses.

Alas, Babylon by Pat Frank

Loved this book. Realistic take on a nuclear war without trying to be theatrical in any way.

EDIT: also started Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban by J.K. Rowling (again).
