This a meme that we have started here at Vicariously & Voraciously in attempt to organize our thoughts for all the books we are currently reading. This is so we can update the status of how far along we are in our current reads, how we are liking it so far, and any other general current updates on the books as we read them. Feel free to use this prompt to keep your currently reading status up to date with us! It can be used weekly, once a month, or as often as you like. We love to see what everyone is reading and what they think!
Four Dead Queens by Astrid Scholte
Current Status: 2% (ebook)
Just finished all of my books I was currently reading over the weekend and last night so now I’m starting a whole new batch! I got this book in an Owlcrate book box and then also rented the ebook from the Library so I’m going to try and finish this one before the Library book is due! So far I really like the world building and the different kingdoms and how each is unique in the way its ruled and what they value most. I have a feeling I’m going to really love this book because it is so detailed and well written so far!
The Raven’s Tale by Cat Winters
Current Status: 8% (ebook ARC)
Ahhh I love Edgar Allan Poe!!! I’m excited to get into this more since its not your average Poe story but more of an ode to his teenage years. I hope it still manages to keep its dark and twisted macabre side to it that defines Poe, because that is what he is all about! I’m also interested to see how it plays out with the history of a well known poet and author as the main character.
Ace of Shades by Amanda Foody
Current Status: 50% (audio book)
This is actually a reread (relisten?) while preparing myself to get started on King of Fools here soon before its published! I really liked this book the first time around but the ending was a little fuzzy so I’m brushing up on the details so I can dive into the next book with it all fresh on my mind!!!
Let’s Discuss
How’s your reading going here lately? Anything keeping you from reading all you had planned? I feel like Spring is when everyone tends to start getting really busy. The holidays are almost over and so its back to business! I have had a lot of nannying/ babysitting jobs here lately but I always enjoy those because I get to read once the kids are napping or in bed for the night. Its always a good time to have the quiet atmosphere to really get a lot of reading done. When do you tend to read the most? Is there a certain spot in your house or at a coffee shop? I’m horrible reading in public because just about everything catches my attention so I like to have my certain spots at home. I’d love to know what works for you all though! Let me know!
Well today I just finished Rooms By Lauren Oliver and I wasn’t really a fan of it. So I’m a little bummed about that. I am also reading The Sun is Also a Star. I haven’t gotten very far in that one. I am interested to see what you think of The Raven’s Tale By Cat Winters. I love the cover of it. Also excited to see you’re relistening to Ace of Shades. I did that last month too to get myself ready for King of Fools. King of Fools ended up being a really enjoyable read. I am excited to see what you think of it when you pick it up.
Ahh I can’t wait to start King of Fools! I think tonight is finally the night! I’ve been in a weird slump here lately but hopefully I’m coming out of it now (especially since I have so many ARCs due!! haha) I’ll have to let you know once I finish King of Fools so we can discuss it!!!
Oh no I do hope you are coming out of the slump. They are never fun. 🙁 Yes please let me know when you finish it. I would love to discuss it with you!
Lovely post, Rae! My spring has been so crazy lately (hence, my temporary hiatus haha). But, I’ve thankfully managed to listen to several audiobooks. I have yet to start on the Ace of Shades and Three Dark Crowns books, but they’re certainly on my tbr! <3
I’ve been struggling to stay motivated here lately too. Its been weird like I want to read but I just keep distracting myself with everything else under the sun instead… I’ll get back on track here soon though, I hope!! lol
