Yeah. It’s true. In my “currently-reading” shelf on Goodreads there’s room for little now. Oh well there’s only six. It’s not so much. I’ve had twelve.
The thing is, sometimes I start reading books and then leave them again because of many reasons: I get bored, I’m not in the mood for that kind of fiction, I start another one that keeps more hooked…
So as of now, here’s some things I’m reading:
City of Heavenly Fire (The Mortal Instruments #6), by Cassandra Clare
The cover says “Prepare to be hooked” and oh I’m SO hooked by this fucking saga I can’t even begin to explain. To sum it up, I’ve read the first five books in barely two weeks. I think that says it all.
Over The Tracks (The Heart Rate of a Mouse #1), by Anna Green
This is serious business. It’s a piece of fanfiction but it’s a hella awesome book too. In fact, there’s three books. An entire saga. You can easily forget it’s fanfiction, and if you don’t even know the band is based on (Panic! At The Disco), you can easily read it as an original and great book of a boy/boy couple involving music and everything that usually comes with rockstars: sex, drugs, perdition.
I didn’t even ship this ship (Ryden) before I started reading it. And now it’s so real to me that it’s confusing to see the real people (Ryan Ross, Brendon Urie) as they really are but as their THROAM characters.
Homecoming (Ghostgirl #2), by Tonya Hurley
The first one, I loved it a lot. Dark topics and cultural references to authors/books and music that made me jumped on the seat fangirling as the crazy thing I am. But this one didn’t hook me. Not that I dislike it, but it was getting me bored. So it’s there and it will probably stay there for a long time.
Marauders!Crack, by Irati
This is another fanfiction. And it’s in Spanish. And I don’t know if there’s an English translation so sorry if you who’s reading this feel the urge to read it.
The ship here is the so-called wolfstar, that is, the couple of Sirius Black and Remus Lupin. As it happened with THROAM mentioned above, I didn’t ship it. I even hated this ship. I couldn’t even think of such a thing, and I found the Remus/Tonks so adorable that nothing else could exist.
But oh. It does.
The story sets in the last years at Hogwarts of the Marauders, and I’ve only read like four chapters, but it’s written so beautifully that I fell for it.
La Mécanique du Coeur, by Mathias Malzieu
This one…we just didn’t connect. I don’t know when or if I’ll get to it again.
The Wise Man’s Fear (The Kingkiller Cronicle #2), by Patrick Rothfuss
I’m love with this saga. In love. I hadn’t been this excited for a fantasy saga, and probably a saga in general, for ages. I mean, I’m quite enjoying The Mortal Instruments but these ones are GOLD. MAGIC. UNICORNS AND ALL THAT PRETTY STUFF. So that’s the reason why finishing this book is taking me so long. Not that I dislike it. Not that it gets boring (for Elodin’s sake, no way!). NOTHING OF THAT. It’s just that the third one isn’t out yet and I will get so sad when this one is finished and I’m not freaking ready for that no no no I want more and more. So I’m tasting it slowly. Every page is a delicatessen piece.
So this is all. And you? What books (or book, I might be the only one crazy enough for this) are you reading right now? Have you read any of the above? Let me read your thoughts.
Until next time! :3
