Welcome to This Week in Books, where we share what we’ve been up to in bookland this week and look ahead to next.
I’m afraid my answers are pretty much the same as last week as I’ve just not been feeling it. Hope you’re all having a better week! Here’s what I’m still reading…
Now: King’s Cage ~ Victoria Aveyard // The Time Machine ~ H.G Wells
I’ve been choosing TV over reading lately for some reason , but I have at least got about a third of the way through King’s Cage. It’s OK, but it hasn’t managed to pull me out of my slump yet. I’m also stiiiiiiiiiiill going on The Time Machine at lunch-times.
Then: The Invisible Hand ~ James Hartley // Girl in Disguise ~ Greer Macallister
I haven’t finished anything new so here is my response from last week: I really enjoyed both of these. I’ve just finished The Invisible Hand which is part of a new series with each book based on a different Shakespeare play. I think it’s a great way to get kids and young adults interested in Shakespeare. My review will be up soon. Girl in Disguise was a fun book about the first female Pinkerton detective. My review went up yesterday.
Next: ???
Still something from my physical TBR shelf again. Six of Crows and The Chemist are at the top of my pile or I might go for something completely different like Misery by Stephen King.
New on the Shelves
I’m Waiting On…
Nothing has caught my eye yet this so I’ll lazily stick with last week’s answer…soz!
The Loneliest Girl in the Universe by Lauren James
Because, the cover is so stunning, and it sounds great too. A bit similar to The Space Between Us perhaps, but I only saw the movie!? There’s quite a wait til September though…boo!
So that’s my week in books, now why don’t you tell me about yours!?
Leave your answers or the link to your post in the comments and I’ll take a look 🙂
I understand the need for a change away from full-on reading every now and again. Here is my TWIB https://cleopatralovesbooks.wordpress.com/2017/03/22/this-week-in-books-march-22/
Definitely, I just hope it doesn’t last too long!
I love Alan Bradley’s Flavia de Luce mystery series. They are all terrific. Brilliant charity shop finds! I hope you enjoy them 🙂
Yay thank you!
I have only heard about Hogarth Shakespeare series, which are based on Shakespeare plays. Good to know something new.

I’m not getting much reading done at the moment either… I hope you enjoy what you do read! https://chrissireads.wordpress.com/2017/03/22/this-week-in-books-57/
Thank you, you too!
Alan Bradley’s Flavia de Luce stories are my favorite! I ended up really enjoying The Chemist as well; it was good comeback for Stephanie Meyers.
Here’s my post for this week. Happy reading!

I’ve only read one of them but I loved it! Would love to get the whole series and read them in order. And thanks for letting me know what you thought of The Chemist. I haven’t seen many good reviews but am still hoping I’ll enjoy it!!
My reading has been slow recently, too. But I’ve been choosing to scrapbook instead of reading, which is good because I’m YEARS behind! Lol!
Here’s my post: https://candy-m.blogspot.com/2017/03/what-are-you-reading-march-22-2017.html
Have a great week! I hope you get out of you reading slump! 🙂
Ooh, what sort of things do you scrapbook?
Our family photos. I would like to do more journaling on some of the pages, but I’m so far behind at this point I’m just trying to get them in a book with simplistic, but hopefully, stylish decorations. Mostly with words or letters.
