A new week, a new batch of books–both books finished and being read. Today is…
Ring-the-Bell Monday & It’s Monday! What Are You Reading?
{Sharing what books we’ve read in the past week & the titles we are currently reading.}
{YESSS!!! I finished. It was all I thought about for the last 100ish pages. I was even reading in the hall between classes. QUITE intriguing. People told me they didn’t like the end, but I found it captivating. Rumor is: a sequel is in the works.}

One of my favorite ever trilogies is Patrick Ness’s Chaos Walking Trilogy.
The books were re-released in the UK with new covers…

Ms Paquette was kind enough to send me an ARC. The book is coming on June 25th.
Fans of James Dashner’s Maze Runner series will love this postapocalyptic adventure about a girl who must survive an alien planet in order to save the Earth.Ana only knows her name because of the tag she finds pinned to her jumpsuit. Waking in the featureless compartment of a rocket ship, she opens the hatch to discover that she has landed on a barren alien world. Instructions in her pocket tell her to observe and to survive, no doubt with help from the wicked-looking knives she carries on her belt. But to what purpose?Meeting up with three other teens–one boy seems strangely familiar–Ana treks across the inhospitable landscape, occasionally encountering odd twists of light that carry glimpses of people back on Earth. They’re working on some sort of problem, and the situation is critical. What is the connection between Ana’s mission on this planet and the crisis back on Earth, and how is she supposed to figure out the answer when she can’t remember anything?
More Great ARCs…
