Still this
-- The Siren Chronicles (#1) by Douglas J. Sloan -- I'm still making my way through this. I got it through NetGalley, so I need to read and review it. I thought I was going to be on a blog tour for it, but I haven't heard anything back about that, so I don't think it's going to happen.
I feel like I've been trudging my way through this, and I shouldn't be, because it's not a long book. There are reasons that I haven't knocked this one out yet. First, I just started a full time job! I'm super pumped that I got on full time, I need the insurance, and I like where I work, but Full Time Job means Full Time Hours, which means less time to read, so there's that.
The other reasons are that I'm not finding myself blown away by this book. Looking at the cover, I thought I was going to get a dark, siren tale, but it's really not. It's almost like The Little Mermaid Disney movie where 3 beautiful sirens/mermaids wash up on shore. They meet with beautiful, friendly people who help them on land. These mermaids are supposed to be on some sort of quest to save their home, but we don't know what the quest is, apparently they'll figure it out once they see it. It's also just kind of a bland story, all the characters are kind of flat, I'm not really seeing them as complex characters. I don't know. I don't want to not like it, but it's not blowing me away.
I read that the author has written for a lot of TV shows, and maybe this book would have worked more in the visual sense, like on television. I don't know. I'm almost done with it, so I do think I will finish it this weekend.
What I Want To Read Next!
-- Bzrk (#1) by Michael Grant -- I really like Michael Grant's Gone Series, so I want to read something else by him. I think this should be quick and fun, and I think I'll probably like it.
So that's what I'm Reading Right Now! What are you reading?
