What I'm Reading Tuesday

   I'm going to start something new here on the blog, in hopes that it will help me remember to blog more, knitting and otherwise.  Every Tuesday, I'm going to share with you what I've been reading. I spend the majority of my free time knitting and reading, so I find that this will be something I'll enjoy blogging about.
   This week, I'm reading

The One by Kiera Cass

323 pg

Genre: YA, Science Fiction, Dystopia, Romance

Publisher: Harper Teen

The time has come for one winner to be crowned.

When she was chosen to compete in the Selection, America never dreamed she would find herself anywhere close to the crown—or to Prince Maxon's heart. But as the end of the competition approaches, and the threats outside the palace walls grow more vicious, America realizes just how much she stands to lose—and how hard she'll have to fight for the future she wants.

This is the third book in The Selection series by Kiera Cass, I have found the first two, and so far in the third, books delightful! They are in the perspective of America Singer, an artist of caste 5, and her journey through the selection, a competition to become Illea's next princess. I highly recommend this series, and the novellas as well, to anyone who is into the fairytale/becoming princess type stories, but would like to see how it is from a more rational perspective.

352 pgs

Genre: Mystery, fiction, suspense

Publisher: St. Martin's Press

Now, I'm only on chapter two of this book, but one of the librarians at my local library was reading it and recommended it to me. She did say that the first few chapters were hard to get into, and I agree, but I'm looking forward to the mystery unfolding.

   As always, I'll be putting up more extensive reviews when I finish the books/series, and I do have some lined up to be published that I'm almost done with, but for now, you can check out my already published reviews here.
