It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? a place to meet and share what you have been and are about to be reading over the week. It’s a great post to organize yourself. It’s an opportunity to visit, comment, and add to your groaning TBR pile! So welcome in everyone. This meme started on J Kaye’s blog and then was hosted by Sheila from Book Journey. Sheila then passed it on to Kathryn at The Book Date.
Jen Vincent, Teach Mentor Texts, and Kellee of Unleashing Readers decided to give It’s Monday! a kid-lit focus. If you read and review books in children’s literature – picture books, chapter books, middle-grade novels, young adult novels, or anything in those genres – join them.
What I am Reading Now
Stephanie has lost everything.
Slipping through her hands has been her control of the town she loves, her freedom, and even her dignity. With Audrey back firmly in control of the town of Alessandra, Michael at her side, and the rings back in place, Stephanie’s alone, betrayed, and hopeless, scratching at the dirt that’s caked on her body, trapped in quarantine and awaiting certain death.
But she has the medical knowledge Audrey needs for her crowning the H6N1 vaccine that would end this nightmare and make her a legend. If the researchers at the local hospital are going to find the vaccine in time to save the town, Stephanie may need to be the one to get it done. And that means she lives, for the time being.
Now, the clock is ticking as Stephanie risks everything to rescue herself and the entire town before Audrey decides it’s time to cement her grip on Alessandra forever. Read the finale to The Alessandra Chronicles today to find out who lives to see how the saga ends when we find out A Greater Evil always lurks.
What I am reading Monday and Tuesday:
He’s a beautiful devil in Armani with a twisted sense of justice… and he’s one hot heartbeat away from killing me.
Aleksio grew up orphaned, hunted, separated from his brothers — because of my father.
Now the sweet boy is back, a dark prince, gorgeous and brutal in his Armani suit, wrapping my hair in his fist. He’s my captor, my tormenter. He’ll do anything to rescue his brothers… and I’m my father’s only weakness.
“I’m the most dangerous enemy you’ll ever have,” he tells me, “Because every time you look at me, you see somebody good.”
But I remember when Aleksio was my only friend. I remember when they lowered his tiny casket into the ground, and how I cried when they lied to us and told us the prince was dead.
“My brothers think I’m obsessed. Imagining ghosts. But I’ll always know you.” ~Viktor
Who is the nun who never shows her face?
Ever since killing the love of his life, the beautiful and fierce mafia assassin named Tanechka, Viktor has lived in utter torment.
Now, years later, he comes upon a nun who will never show her face.
Viktor is sure this is Tanechka herself — that she has improbably, impossibly survived. Is it obsession? A figment of a guilty conscience? Or is this their second chance?
