Although I read quite a few books this week I only loved The Road! I hated Captive in the dark which I almost DNF-ed but decided to read just to see what happens in the end. The rest of the books I just liked!
What did you read this week?
Ooh, I've always heard good things about the Road, I've just never gotten around to reading it. :) So glad you liked it!

Cormac McCarthy is a wonderful writer. The Canterbury Tales is a classic. it may be boring, but so many authors use it as a reference point that it's important to read it. I hope you have time for some books you area really excited about next week.
ReplyDeleteI only read a few chapters of The Road before I quit, finding it too slow for me. I keep meaning to give the film a try but never seem to get round to it!
ReplyDeleteI read Captive in the Dark back in 2014 and liked it okay but I don't see how so many really love it, it wasn't that good. How was The Canterbury Tales?
ReplyDeleteYour stacking the shelves is a bit different than most I've seen wherein you've read your selection already. I like it actually, because as you've indicated, you're able to tell us which you loved and the ones that aren't so great. :)

I know it was for school, but I *love* the Canterbury Tales! Some are a little slow, but others are hilarious. I hope you enjoyed some of them!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my Stacking the Shelves post :D
The Road was a strange book for me. I read it very quickly and didn't want to put it down...but I am not sure that I would say that I really liked it. It looks like you had a great week.
ReplyDeleteI hung out with CJ Roberts at a book signing last year - she is such a fun person. I need to do a re-read of Captive in the Dark. Hope you enjoyed it!

I will fully admit that I actually love the Canterbury Tales. I kind of just want to read Talon because of the cover. I don't think I even need to read the synopsis!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting! Great post and happy Sunday! :)
I am curious about There But For The...the cover and blurb drew me in.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your new books...and for visiting my blog. Enjoy!
Oh no! Was the end of Captive in the Dark worth it? It's my favorite cover in your list this week. Hope this upcoming week treats ya better! Happy Reading :)
ReplyDeleteThe Road is brilliant, even if it's incredibly bleak. Have you seen the film version? It's pretty good, but will make you feel bad!
ReplyDeleteThe Road is a gripping and good one. Enjoy this week's haul!
ReplyDeleteOoo, lots of great romance novels in this post! I haven't read any of them, but Talon caught my eye. I hope you enjoy all of your new books!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog! Have a wonderful week. :)

Ugh, I hated The Road. I'm glad you enjoyed it, though! I hope you love your new books! Thanks for visiting my STS! Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteWow, that's quite a difference between books that you read for fun and those that you read for uni. :)
ReplyDeleteThe Road is lying on my shelves somewhere waiting patiently for me to pick it up--I might have to make that happen sooner, huh? Great reads this week--thanks so much for stopping by my StS and commenting! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteHope you loved all your books you read. Thanks for stopping by The Cover Contessa
ReplyDeleteThe Road was amazing! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteYou got a great selection of books and they are all pretty much new to me titles. Enjoy
ReplyDeleteGreat books on your list! I read The Road awhile ago. That's a really good book.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!
The Road sounds interesting. I've only ever read one of his books before.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to your review of Captive in the dark.
ReplyDeleteMy inner geek was happy-dancing when I saw you got the Canterbury Tales! I love those, they are a little naughty and a lot of fun :)
ReplyDeleteHave a fantastic week and happy reading.

Okay so I haven't heard of any of these titles but I hope that you enjoy them all! Some steamy covers on some ;)
ReplyDeleteI haven't read any of these but I'm sorry to hear you didn't love them! Hopefully you can find some books you love this week :) Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteDanielle @ Life With Two Boys
some interesting and new books to me! Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI like how you do the books you've already read vs books you just got. It's different than most stacking the shelves. I like it.
ReplyDeleteGreat reads too, I hope you enjoyed them!
Happy Readings!
-Amanda @ She's Quite Bookish
Haven't read these. Someday I need to read The Road, but I think I have to be in the right frame of mind. Hope you enjoy them all. Thanks for stopping by.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a nice haul! Hope you enjoy (are enjoying/have enjoyed!).
ReplyDeleteUmm... There's some gorgeous man-candy on your StS post, btw. I am very jealous. Very. Hope you enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard of any of these books but you'll have to let me know if I should read any of them! I'm always looking for new authors/books.
ReplyDeleteNice haul - there are some pretty tempting titles right there! Hope you enjoy them. Here's ours: Here's ours: Bibliojunkies Happy reading! ~ Bel
