Weekly wrap-up: October 6-12

I finished up my adult romance week and moved on to some long-awaited review books. How has your week been?

Completed:
The Bride Wore Size 12 (Heather Wells #5) - Meg Cabot: 4 stars. Not my favorite of the Heather Wells series, but a thoroughly satisfying finale. Loving Heather + Cooper!
The Iron Traitor (Iron Fey: Call of the Forgotten #2) - Julie Kagawa: 4 stars. Review + Giveaway here.
Playing Dirty (Stargazer #2) - Jennifer Echols: 5 stars. Loved it. I can't even properly express how much exactly I loved it. I desperately adore Sarah and Que'n
Six Months Later - Natalie D. Richards: 4 stars. I thought this was going to be kind of a cute contemporary. Boy, was I surprised!

Reread:
Clockwork Prince (Infernal Devices #2) audiobook - Cassandra Clare, Ed Westwick, & Heather Lin: 3 stars. I liked both Ed and Heather's narration, but I would have preferred one or the other. It was completely random when one was narrating or the other. No order whatsoever. There were many scenes where I wish Ed had done it, namely the romance scenes, Jem's proposal... A good audiobook, but somewhat disappointing.

Currently Reading:
Clockwork Princess audiobook - Cassandra Clare: Decent narration. It's early, but this one might end up my favorite of the audiobooks.
Fangirl - Rainbow Rowell: Love this!
Frigid (Frigid #1) - J. Lynn: My first JLA bok! Enjoying it so far.

  1. I've had total reader's block this week. I've been unable to read anything! Hopefully it goes away soon because it makes me sad! :(

  2. I'm going to start reading Never Fade soon! So excited! But it will probably take a long time since I'm so busy now... :/

  3. I agree with you about clockwork prince and the changing narration... The guy reader was perfect and I wish they had just cut the girl out all together. His voice made me melt at certain parts and I wanted it the whole time!!!
