To play along, just answer the following three (3) questions…
• What are you currently reading? • What did you recently finish reading? • What do you think you’ll read next?
Currently Reading: I’ve just started The Weight of Blood by Laura McHugh, not much to report so far, but I think I’m going to like it. Needed a break from all the YA/Vampire stuff I’ve been reading lately. (See below for more)
Recently Finished: I finished Cinder, which I loved! Review should be up soon! And Eden Forest by Aoife Marie Sheridan for her book tour, stopping here tomorrow!
Up Next: I’ve said it 3 weeks in a row now (things keep coming up!!), but either Blood Orange Soda or Monsters of Men (Chaos Walking Trilogy #3) by Patrick Ness
The Weight of Blood – Laura McHugh
For fans of Gillian Flynn and Daniel Woodrell, a dark, gripping debut novel of literary suspense about two mysterious disappearances, a generation apart, and the meaning of family-the sacrifices we make, the secrets we keep, and the lengths we will go to protect the ones we love.
The Dane family’s roots tangle deep in the Ozark Mountain town of Henbane, but that doesn’t keep sixteen-year-old Lucy Dane from being treated like an outsider. Folks still whisper about her mother, a bewitching young stranger who inspired local myths when she vanished years ago. When one of Lucy’s few friends, slow-minded Cheri, is found murdered, Lucy feels haunted by the two lost girls-the mother she never knew and the friend she couldn’t protect.
Everything changes when Lucy stumbles across Cheri’s necklace in an abandoned trailer and finds herself drawn into a search for answers. What Lucy discovers makes it impossible to ignore the suspicion cast on her own kin. More alarming, she suspects Cheri’s death could be linked to her mother’s disappearance, and the connection between the two puts Lucy at risk of losing everything. In a place where the bonds of blood weigh heavy, Lucy must decide where her allegiances lie.

oooh the weight of blood looks intriguing!
Yeah, it’s started off really good!
It’s not a genre I typically read but I might have to add it to my tbr haha!
What’s one more for the pile eh!? 🙂
the ever growing pile of hopelessness- as I call it ;3
I keep meaning to read Cinder but keep putting it off. I will have to read it soon. Here is my WWW http://cynthiastacey.com/2014/03/05/www-wednesdays-march-5/
I put it off for ages too, but I shouldn’t have…SO GOOD!
Planning what to read next while already in the middle of a book is such a difficult task – then there is also a TBR pile growing everyday…sigh!
I’m reading Cinder right now and am enjoying it! I look forward to reading your review.
Thanks!
Can’t wait to see what you made of Cinder. Will keep an eye out for your review!
Cinder has been on my TBR forever! I really, really, really want to read it, but just haven’t found the time. Glad you enjoyed it!
The Weight of Blood does look intriguing, I’ll be interested to see what you think of it!
What is it with Cinder.. People seem to like it so much, I haven’t come across a negative review about it! Still I’m a bit hesitant of adding it to my tbr. Convince me! 🙂

I wish I had a dollar for every time I’ve seen a WWW report and responded, Oooooh, Cinder! That’s on my list! And I still haven’t read it.

haha DO ITTTT!
Doh! Still not read Cinder – and I have no.2 sat waiting also! What is up with me….

I think I do the same thing with my ‘reading next’, I get terribly sidetracked by new books. Which is why I have 16 books on my currently reading list on goodreads atm. Ridiculous! And now I’m going to have to add The Weigh of Blood to my TBR.
16!!!! Jesus! Good look with that 😛
Okay putting Cinder on my list keep seeing how people loved it! Thanks for sharing!
