Here's the answers to this week meme's from Should Be Reading's blog. Feel free to leave your comments with the answers to these questions and be sure to check out their blog as well for other's answers.

To play along, just answer the following three (3) questions in the comment section or in your own blog then link it from the comments.

• What are you currently reading?
• What did you recently finish reading?
• What do you think you’ll read next?

I look forward to seeing your answers below!

What are you currently reading?

World War Z by Max Brooks.  My husband was lent this book from a friend, read it, now I'm reading it before I see the movie.  Chances are I won't see the movie in the theater - but I am curious as to how they're going to convert it.

Without spoiling it, World War Z is a collection of "personal accounts" of how the Zombie Apocalypse occurred, how it was initially reacted to, how they fought, how they survived and conveys grittier information - the gruesome nature of humans when faced with the worst thing possible.

I find the accounts, as transcribed by the journalist writing the book, to be interesting - more so since it's fictional.  The author doesn't take on just the personality of one person, but many as they write the book and it makes for an interesting read.

What did you recently finish reading?

Master of the Dance by T.C. Southwell, book five in The Queen's Blade Series.  I've mentioned this book in a couple of my posts.  While I was disappointed at how the book was going, it was still a good series and I still want to read the last book.

What do you think you'll read next?

Cloak and Silence by Sherrilyn Kenyon.  This book is a part of her League series, of which I have read all the books.  I loved The League as much as I've enjoyed her Dark Hunter Series.  It releases today as a $2.99 ebook and will be out in print later this year - hopefully.

Musing Monday - June 24, 2013 Edition

Here's today's Musing Monday's as posted by Should Be Reading's blog 

Musing Mondays asks you to muse about one of the following each week…
• Describe one of your reading habits.
• Tell us what book(s) you recently bought for yourself or someone else, and why you chose that/those book(s).
• Tell us what you’re reading right now — what you think of it, so far; why you chose it; what you are (or, aren’t) enjoying with it.

Just like last week, for this week's musing, I'm going with point three and talking about what I'm reading right now.

I have finally made it back to reading the Queen's Blade Series by T.C. Southwell - Master of the Dance.  This book follows in the same line as the other ones, but the story is getting a bit repetitive.  There are only so many times the "hero" of the story can be captured, tortured, rescued, etc. before the pattern gets dull and boring and it is very close to being too repetitive for me now.  While the story is still good - and I'm 300 pages from the end of the novel - I'm waiting for something different.

It's almost like the author has a constant need to remind you that the character is a dick but there's something more to him, but keeps teasing that because he's too much of a bastard to show it.  Seriously, I got the point already - he's got redeeming qualities - let's just get past the BS and show it already.

Yeah - the book might be dragging on a bit now for me.   We'll see how I finish it and start the next one..
