Currently Reading and Additional To Read on My Shelf

Now that I have time, or rather, now that I really made time- I am updating my blog and also sharing with you some of my reads that I have acquired, and the rest just arrived in time for Holy Week reading! It's time for some reading and slowing down, before the full blast takes place when we all go back to work.

So what am I currently reading? I already updated my currently reading shelf in my Good Reads account, and have rightfully shared my review about the light YA reading which I have completed recently, Vintage Veronica by Erica Perl. I was lucky enough to find a hardbound copy of Dan Brown's The Lost Symbol when I went to visit my Mom's friend at her house. Who would have thought I could score a free copy of the book?

Robert Langdon returns.

I'm not new to Dan Brown's settings and writing style. He is fond of mysteries involving secret societies and symbols, and he does provide so many facts and weaves situations that make good suspense stories, chasing against time and solving murders and kidnappings. But let me not spoil it for you.

Here is what Good Reads has to share about The Lost Symbol, don't worry I did not read the reviews. I'm careful not to.

Famed Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon answers an unexpected summons to appear at the US Capitol Building. His planned lecture is interrupted when a disturbing object-artfully encoded with five symbols-is discovered in the building. Langdon recognizes in the find of an ancient invitation into a lost world of esoteric, potentially dangerous wisdom. When his mentor Peter Solomon- a longstanding Mason and beloved philanthropist- is kidnapped, Langdon realizes that the only way to save Solomon is to accept the mystical invitation and plunge headlong into a clandestine world of Masonic secrets, hidden history, and one inconceivable truth all under the watchful eye of Dan Brown's most terrifying villain to date. Set within the hidden chambers, tunnels and temples of Washington DC, The Lost Symbol is an intelligent, lightning paced story with surprises at every turn- Brown's most exciting novel yet.

There are also other books to read that are gems, and I am also trying my hand at YA reads, a little chick lit and some personal favorite authors. The next post will be about my latest haul from my suki shop again. Stay tuned!

Have a great Monday everyone!
