It’s Monday! What are you reading this week? is a weekly event hosted by J. Kaye’s Book Blog, to discuss what we are reading for this week as well as books completed the previous week.

I didn’t have a great week for reading, but my excuse is that I had to go away to attend a friends wedding. It was a four day affair so there wasn’t a lot of time for reading. Hopefully this week will be better. 

Books Completed:
Double Cross by Malorie Blackman: This is the last book in the Noughts & Crosses series. Although I loved the first three this last one didn’t really match up to the brilliance of the first three. However, I did enjoy it and you can read my review HERE.


Strange Angels by Lili St. Crow. This is the first YA book in a new series by the author who gave us Dante Valentine. This was quite a good read and I will be posting my thoughts soon, so keep an eye out for my review. 




Books I will be reading this week:
Friends Like Us by Caitlin Davies: This looks like a really good novel about friendship. Looking forward to reading this one. Also have an interview with the author coming up in the next couple of weeks. This was sent for review by Pocket Books.

The Good Bride Guide by Matt Dunn: This looks like a really fun read. I haven’t read any books by this author before so should be interesting to read a ‘chick-lit’ style novel written by a man. This was sent for review by Pocket Books.

Timeless Land by Rachael Treasure: This looks like a really good novel about love and Australia. Looking forward to reading this one. This was sent for review by Preface.

Lucy in the Sky by Paige Toon: This was sent to me by the author herself to review and I will be interviewing Paige in the next few weeks, so look out for that. This looks like a fun easy read.

I like the idea of chick-lit from a male perspective. Let us know how that one goes!
