Really Random Tuesday #29: Pending Reads and Tom Hardy?


Really Random Tuesday is hosted by Suko.

It's been a few weeks since I've done an RRT post. Today I wanted to yap about the books I'm currently reading.
I've got a few reads I want to wrap up this week and reviews I want to write. I also have book giveaways coming for late January, February and March. *yay* Stay tuned for that.

Currently reading:

Taken By Storm by Donna Fletcher. I'm semi-sabotaging myself here, this book has nothing to do with pending reviews, which I have plenty of. It's a copy I bought myself years ago and suddenly had the itch to read. Okay, okay, the cover is God-awful, but I was in the mood for some fluffiness. I'm nearly done reading this one already.


The Lantern by Deborah Lawrenson. My copy came from AmazonVine. I'm halfway through this one and it's getting a bit slow now. I was expecting better and I hope it will pick up again soon.


SEAL of My Dreams by various authors. I told you I was in the mood for fluff. I must be going through a phase. This one is from NetGalley and It's a collection of 18 short stories. I've been reading a few at a time.

-----------------------------

**the following has nothing to do with book blogging or reading.
I'll end my post with some randomness about British actor/bad boy Tom Hardy. Can I just say I did a little happy dance when I found out he has a main role in The Dark Knight Rises which comes out this summer?
I like Hardy, there's something about his voice.

I first saw him when he played Heathcliff in the BBC version of Wuthering Heights and have caught a few of his other films since then. He's definitely the dark, brooding type.

Hardy actually auditioned for the role of Mr.Darcy in the latest P&P movie but lost out to Matthew Macfadyen.


Enjoy your Tuesday :P
What are you reading?

Lol the first cover is so eyerolling, I mean why does he have a cape but no shirt?

I was thinking exactly the same as Bloduedd.

Give me a fully clothed man with an air of mystery about him any day of the week.

There's nothing wrong with reading a book that you are in the mood for even if it has nothing to do with pending reviews. I have to get into that frame of mind too. LOL

I have Seal of My Dreams to read, too.

I love a good romance so I'll be looking forward to your thoughts on Taken By Storm :) I read The Lantern and thought it was just a good read but not great. It gets better towards the end but still...I'll be waiting to hear your thoughts on that one as well :)

Melody said...

We need a good romance book once in a while! ;) Happy reading, Naida! Looking forward to your thoughts on those books you read!

The cover is hilarious but I know what you mean by fluff. Never apologize for what you read. As least we are reading.

I've heard many times that The Lantern wasn't as good as they had hoped. It's too bad because it sounded good and it sure does have a pretty cover.
