Monday Meandering

My hubby's brother and his wife have been here a couple of weeks now. We're still doing research about future house plans. Because of local zoning laws, we may be looking at two small houses rather than a duplex. When our kids were little, we needed lots of bedrooms. Now that they're grown with families of their own, we want a larger living room/great room to handle family gatherings.

What I've been reading (or listening to):

Humans and androids crowd the raucous streets of New Beijing. A deadly plague ravages the population. No one knows that Earth’s fate hinges on one girl.

I'm seriously fan girling here. love Love LOVE the premise and execution of this series. I'm a huge SciFi fan, and to put it in a YA series that has a spin on fairytales?

Cinder does a futuristic twist on Cinderella, where our poor heroine is not only a stepsister forced to work for her stepmother but Cinder's also a cyborg. And it doesn't stop there.








Scarlet continues Cinder's story but weaves in another (connected) storyline with Little Red Riding Hood.

And Wolf? Oh, my.








Cress is originally introduced in the first book, but she gets her own tale (Rapunzel) in the third installment. I'm listening to this one right now.







The only thing I'm hating right now is the next book (Fairest which has the evil queen as the main character) isn't out until January and the last book (Winter--Snow White) isn't until November 2015. Nearly the end of 2015!

*sigh*

What have you been reading lately? Any fun stuff? 

What about your dream house? What's important to you?
