It's Monday! What Are You Reading? #92

 
It's Monday! What Are You Reading? is being hosted by Sheila at Book Journey. 


This is a great weekly event where everyone can keep track of the books finished last week & the books planning to read this week!

So, once more I haven't participated in this meme for a long time. Why? Because I got into this on-again/off-again reading slump for the last couple of months, every time I thought it was over, I was wrong, so I know I'm not quite there yet, but I did read 2 books this week, so I decided to participate this week.

What did I read last week?


I re-read Warm Bodies by Isaac Marion, and I did that in a day :) Ok, it's not a large book, but I've been in a reading slump for quite some time now, and I've been planning to re-read it for a while, too, it's been a couple of years since I've read it, and so when the trailer for the movie was released & I watched it, surprisingly I got excited about the movie (I thought it will be awful, but it seems it will be really good, and it seems almost true to the book, but more on the comedy side, and yeah, now I can't wait to see it), anyway, I knew it's time I read Warm Bodies again, and what can I say, I loved it again, actually I loved it even more now :) The first time I read it I rated it 4.5, but now I changed it to 5 stars rating. This book rocks!


Also, I read Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas. It was quite good fantasy, and I loved it, I gave it 4.5 of 5 rating, and I'm definitely looking forward to the next book in the series!


What I'll be reading this week?


To be honest, no idea. I'll probably continue reading The Fury by Alexander Gordon Smith, I started it last week, and so far I loved it. I have some review books & galleys I should get through, but this reading slump has been annoying when it comes to that, so I might re-read an old favorite, maybe it's time for Harry Potter once again ;) It did help the last time!

So, what are you reading this week? Leave me your links!

  4. Glad to hear that you loved Throne of Glass. I have that one for review but haven't read it yet.

    I always enjoy rereading Harry Potter and it sounds like the perfect cure for a reading slump!

    1. Yeah, it was good, and it has a potential to become amazing series, so I hope you'll enjoy it, too!

      And yeah, I had this big reading slump a few months ago, so I re-read HP 1-4 book to book, and I got over it quickly, so I guess it's time for books 5-7 now :)

  6. Reading two books in one week after a reading slump is not bad at all. I hope you find the peace and quiet to read more regulary now. Happy reading this week!
