Currently Reading | The Spindlers by Lauren Oliver

My Currently Reading posts are shared as part of Book Journey's It's Monday! What Are You Reading?

It was a very busy week last week especially around Valentine's Day so I'm still working on the tome that is A Game of Thrones. It started out as a pretty fast read, but it has slowed down for me. I wonder if that happened because I got past the part I've seen of the show? I'm still enjoying it, though!

I also picked up Lauren Oliver's The Spindlers. I love it so far. It reminds me of Alice in Wonderland, but I like Liza more than I like Alice.

What are you reading this week? I hope it's a new favorite for you!

  2. I'm re-reading READY PLAYER ONE (it's so awesome, especially if you grew up in the 80's). SPINDLERS looks interesting. I'll have to investigate!

    1. I loved Ready Player One! That's a great book to reread. I bet you pick up on stuff you missed the first time around. :D

  3. I thought the same thing about The Spindlers! It was a fun read. As for Game of Thrones, I've read all the books so far, some of the books have been faster than others, it depends on how much I like main characters featured in the chapters- Dany's narrative was good in the first book, but has been more on the slow side for me since then. But the series is totally worth it!

  7. I didn't even know about The Spindlers. I am not a huge Alice fan. I didn't even like the Disney version that much, but the spin-offs intrigue me all the same. I keep thinking of picking up the Game of Throne books, but always have too much on my plate to read. I will get to it one day!

    1. I like all of the imaginative qualities of Alice in Wonderland. The Spindlers was better, though. I understand; Game of Thrones is huge!
