WEEKEND READS | Walk on Earth a Stranger + Mortom

one of my 2015 most anticipated reads.
Hello,

I talked about how life has been for me during this past month in my book haul post yesterday. It was mixture of good and bad. But I survived it. I'm done with that and I'm going to focus on things to come right now.

This past week I finally picked up Walk on Earth a Stranger which I'm sooooo happy about. I placed In Gallup, Greed on-hold but I'll get back to it after Walk on Earth. I think I'm kind of getting burnt out with all these mystery-thriller. I still like them, really. Mortom which is my other read for this weekend is a mystery-thriller but I think that I need a tiny break from them.

I know I kind of promised a couple of reviews last week but I didn't made it. I have them written out already but haven't formatted them on the blog. I'm generally just procrastinating. haha.

This is a very intriguing book that had me reading fast. There's this search mission then there's this non-stop action. There's always something going on. But that isn't the only thing that had me going on this book. Once Detective Shaw was found, this just started getting even more interesting. So really... check out my review, check out other reviews, and hopefully you decide to read this book :)

Middle. Book. Syndrome. Book one, The Fate, was a pretty decent read. I liked it. I liked Penn. I like the writing. I like the progression of the story. But this one? There are questionable things. Really slow progression. Annoying Penn. Unimportant events. I'll have a mini-review soon!!


Walk on Earth a Stranger (The Gold Seer Trilogy #1) | Rae Carson
One of my most anticipated books of 2015. I'm finally read it! You guys probably know that I LOVE historical fiction. SO when I found out that this series is going to be about the California Gold Rush which is something I have not read about before, I just NEED to read it. Anyway, I really like the idea that Leah can sense gold but I read in reviews that it's not something that's shown so much through out the book which is fine for me. 
Mortom | Erik Therme
This is actually a pretty intriguing novel. I'm reading this one real fast. There's mystery and it feels like a puzzle kind of mystery -- the murdered guy set up these clues up before he died. He knows he will die then? Surely. But did he commit suicide? Oh believe me, with these kinds of mystery... I bet he did not commit suicide. I bet he was murdered and he knew the guy. He knew it'll happen. OR something entirely surprising might happen. Like maybe surprise! He's not dead. But whatever. I'll find out soon.!!

Into the Light (Into the Dark #2) | Caroline T. Patti
Release week just past. I'm reading this after Mortom which will most likely be Monday or Tuesday. Into the Dark wasn't that great but I'm hoping this will give justice to the duology.
In Gallup, Greed (Cinnamon/Burro New Mexico Mysteries) | Tower Lowe
Yup. I'm putting this here. I did say I placed this on-hold. I'll pick this up immediately after I finish Walk on Earth a Stranger.

My birthday is early August -- August 4th. I've been considering her first series but I'd like to get through with this book first and see how her writing goes for me :)

I cannot wait for our long weekend next week! I'd planned on doing nothing but read since the weather looks like it's going to be rainy. I hope you're enjoying your picks!

Thanks, Joy! I'm really enjoying them :) I ended up procrastinating the entire long weekend -- barely had some reading done and never touched my school works. ohwell ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

My recent post REVIEW | The Reaper
I loooooved Walk on Earth A Stranger too! IT IS SO BEAUTIFULLY WRITTEN. <3 There's not that much magic? But I don't mind either, because it was so intriguing! And I'm hoping the sequel has a bit more magicy stuff though.😂 And isn't the cover just so beautiful!? I JUST WANT TO PET IT BASICALLY. heh. I hope your next reads are good too! I just finished read the Trials of Apollo which was AMAZING and hilarious. I have no idea what to read next though, eeep. It's always so hard to decide!

Anything you love is possibly GREAT! hahaha, I haven't finished it (shame on me) but really curious of a few things... and YESSSSS the cover is so beautiful. It's definitely one of the reasons I bought it. I haven't read anything Rick Riordan (and while I feel ashamed of it, I'm honestly not interested to try any of his books). So great to know you enjoyed it though :D
