Welcome to my weekly post, where I sum-up what I’ve been up to in bookland the past week.
Now: Memoirs of a Dipper ~ Nell Leyshon // The Turning Test ~ Chris Beckett
Nell Leyshon is doing a talk and Q&A session in the prison library I work in tomorrow so I thought I better check out her book. I’m really enjoying it and hopefully tomorrow will go well!
The Turing Test is my lunch time read – it’s pretty insane. In a good way.
Then: My Soul Immortal ~Jen Printy
This was such an addictive, quick read. Loved it! My review will be up next week.
Next: ???
It’s back to the review request pile, so the next one will be This Crumbling Pageant by Patricia Burroughs.
I’m Waiting On…
(Linking up with Breaking the Spine)
Vengeance Road ~ Erin Bowman
The cover drew me to this one!
When Kate Thompson’s father is killed by the notorious Rose Riders for a mysterious journal that reveals the secret location of a gold mine, the eighteen-year-old disguises herself as a boy and takes to the gritty plains looking for answers and justice. What she finds are devious strangers, dust storms, and a pair of brothers who refuse to quit riding in her shadow. But as Kate gets closer to the secrets about her family, she gets closer to the truth about herself and must decide if there’s room for love in a heart so full of hate.
In the spirit of True Grit, the cutthroat days of the Wild West come to life for a new generation.
Expected Publication: September 1st 2015 by HMH Books for Young Readers

Memoirs of a Dipper sounds intriguing, and given the subject matter it’s great that author is going to the prison library to give a talk – I hope it goes well!
