Since I read both I join both :)


Not a very big reading week but I got some in.  I have been doing some deep cleaning on my house.  Life gets insanely hectic for me starting the week of Thanksgiving and stays that way until the second week of January.  So focusing on getting as much done now as I can before the chaos hits.
Currently Reading:
  
The Restaurant at the End of the Universe (Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, #2)
 
"Facing annihilation at the hands of the warlike Vogons is a curious time to have a cosmically displaced Arthur Dent and his curious comrades in arms as they hurtle through space powered by pure improbability - and desperately in search of a place to eat. Among Arthur's motley shipmates are Ford Prefect, a long-time friend and contributor to the The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy; Zaphod Beeblebrox, the three-armed, two-headed ex-president of the galaxy; Tricia McMilan, a fellow Earth refuge who's gone native (her name is Trillian now); and Marvin, who suffers nothing and no one gladly."




 


My Sister Rosa"What if the most terrifying person you know is your ten-year-old sister?

Seventeen-year-old Aussie Che Taylor loves his younger sister, Rosa. But he's also certain that she's a psychopath--clinically, threateningly, dangerously. Recently Rosa has been making trouble, hurting things. Che is the only one who knows; he's the only one his sister trusts. Rosa is smart, talented, pretty, and very good at hiding what she is and the manipulation she's capable of.

Their parents, whose business takes the family from place to place, brush off the warning signs as Rosa's -acting out.- Now that they have moved again--from Bangkok to New York City--their new hometown provides far too many opportunities for Rosa to play her increasingly complex and disturbing games. Che's always been Rosa's rock, protecting her from the world. Now, the world might need protection from her."

Yes, still reading this one.  Only read a few pages in fact.

I am participating in #COYER Winter with Friends


COYER Winter2019SignUp 
I have loved doing #COYER in the past couple years.  It has been fun and I've made some great friends.  Which is perfect for the twist they are giving us for this one.
2 reading challenge options and giveaways. 4 readathons, 1 twitter party, facebook games and lots of books!!!
Check out the details here.

For my recommendation based on my reading this year I think I will go with
Scythe (Arc of a Scythe, #1) 
I loved this went straight to book two and then immediately preordered book three (just released this week) and I hardly ever preorder.  So check out this series.

It is also an awesome book to buddy and discuss! 

So everyone next month

It has been a few weeks since I did this. And I read a lot since.  I did two manga- readathons plus Dewey's 24 readathon.  So I am not going to post all those books.  If you want to see what I read the past few weeks, check out my goodreads profile.
So starting fresh this month and hope to keep up better!

"Join your favourite students from the School for Good and Evil as they begin a new era and set off on their quests in the Endless Woods The first book in a second School for Good and Evil trilogy…
The students at the School for Good and Evil thought they had found their final Ever After when they vanquished the malevolent School Master, but with every end comes a new beginning…. Now, on their required fourth-year quests, where Evers and Nevers alike must move beyond the bounds of school and into the biggest, boldest adventures of their lives.
For their quests, Agatha and Tedros are trying to return Camelot to its former splendour as queen and king. For her quest, Dean Sophie seeks to mould Evil in her own image. But soon they all feel themselves growing more isolated and alone. When their classmates’ quests plunge into chaos, however, someone must lead the charge to save them…"
