Musing Monday!



Description

'Musing Mondays' is a weekly event where MizB from Should Be Reading will ask a book/reading-related question, and you answer with your own thoughts on the topic. 


Today's Musing: 




I am currently reading: Shiver by Maggie Steifvater


My last read: A Series of Unfortunate Events: A Bad Beginning by Lemony Snicket





These books are very different so it's hard to compare them! I really enjoyed 'A Series of Unfortunate Events: The Bad Beginning' as it was everything I had hoped it would be! Sinister and morbid with great characters. However, I am also really liking 'Shiver' so far; lots of werewolves and there is a really sweet relationship developing. I think I would have to say they are both really good in very, very different ways! I may not be saying that when I've finished 'Shiver' though!

  3. I hated Shiver. I didn't like it one bit and when I hear people saying 'Wow, the story was great', i'm thinking 'Did we really read the same story?'.
    Either it just wasn't for me or it's really not that good.
    Hope you'll like it though!

  10. I have yet to read Shiver as embarrassing as that is! But I really enjoyed reading Lemony Snicket books when I was younger. Such an original book series! Thanks for sharing!
