Reading Roundup – 18th October 2013
Reading Roundup / October 18, 2013

As I am moving onto a month of nightshift work this week, I will be primarily listening to audiobooks.  I’ve used Amazon’s Matchmaker page to pair up some of the books in my TBR with Audible books so I might be able to get through some of them. This week has been more of a re-reading week in preparation for some upcoming new releases.  The first of these was Sapphire Blue from Kerstin Gier’s Gem Trilogy. [book-info] I have read all three books in the Gem Trilogy, although the third one I read in German some while ago – I shared my thoughts in my Emerald Green review.  My German is good, but I’m sure I’ll have missed a few things, so I am looking forward to reading Anthea Bell’s translation which is excellent.  Having compared the translations of the two earlier books, she has really captured Gwyneth’s spirit and humour.  As it’s been a while, I’m rereading Sapphire Blue to refresh my memory before jumping into Emerald Green.  I’d forgotten just how adorable Gwyneth is! Insurgent by Veronica Roth Series: Divergent Genres: Dystopian, Young Adult Format: eBook Pages: 544 pages Buy from Amazon • Kobo • iTunes • Audible • Next…
