I finished Catching Fire, which was as awesome as expected. Now I am reading Glass by Ellen Hopkins.

What did you think of Fever 1793? It's been on my TBR forever.
Here's another book festival... It's tomorrow for those of you in Boston! Lucky ducks!

Also, Borders is having a Halloween party for kids tomorrow afternoon. Story time, costume parade, etc...
FINALLY starting Catching Fire! Geez!

it's very good so far."
I thought that book was very well written. It was dark and depressing. But you could really feel what the character was going through.
Well so much for my reading schedule! I finished Burned but unexpectedly picked up Push instead of Shiver or Catching Fire. It's off to a good start... Not great but it's keeping me interested.

(*gasp* I know)"
Burned is only the second book I will have read by her. But I loved Identical so I have high hopes! It was soooo good!

Anyway, I'm reading The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett. "
I've been really bad about reading period. I finished one book in September. And I finally finished The Girl Who Played with Fire last night. It was the neverending story for me. Although, I did enjoy it. I just could never find the time to read it and it lasted much too long for my taste because of it. I am going on a YA reading splurge next... Burned, Catching Fire, and Shiver are all up next. :-)
I just started Burned by Ellen Hopkins.
Here's another one I just came across in another GR group. Two in one day! And I'm not going to either one. I am jealous of those who get to go. :-P

I didn't see this anywhere else but please disregard if we already have a thread. I thought we could list local book happenings that we hear about here.
I just came across this one for anyone in the Austin, Tx area: http://www.texasbookfestival.org/
My daughter LOVES these books. She says they are scary and she can't put them down. You don't hear a lot of chatter about them and I am wondering if they get passed over based on the covers? My daughter says the "barbie doll" covers don't even go with the storyline.
It's interesting to see everyone's reaction to Gaiman books. I really loved Coraline and was looking forward to The Graveyard Book but ended up not liking it. :( I really wanted to, too. So that was a bummer.
I loved this book. It was good, creepy fun... just like I like it.
I can doooo it! Thanks, Sara! :-)
I havent been reading much at all. What is wrong with me?? My goal is 50 books by Dec 31 and I got to 45 and stopped. Ugh! Anyways, I just picked up (again) The Girl Who Plays With Fire... and I STILL have Catching Fire, Revelations & The 13th Child staring at me. And I bought Shiver over the weekend.
