Currently reading Requiem by Lauren Oliver as I read the first two books in the series and I have to find out what happens in the finale. I feel like not much is different between this book and the first two, except for heightened teen romantic angst but I'll see how it ends and update on whether it had a good conclusion.*Update* So, finished Requiem and I gotta say it was good but the ending kinda did leave me hanging bc I turned the page and was like "What? Is that it?" I guess though that's bc of the short story at the end so I got confused thinking there was another 20 pages of the novel. Overall I gave it 4 stars and enjoyed it even if I was smh at how abrupt the ending was. And the short story at the end only led up to the start of Requiem so I thought Oliver should have started with the short story even if it is located only in the first edition of the book and is a separate book in all other (later) editions. Anyway, check out the book as I'll be starting the Matched series to compare the two!
So I finished Clockwork Princess and I am really sad that it's over =( I liked this series better than The Mortal Instruments. So yes I recommend anyone who enjoys a good romance/fantasy to read it. Much better written than Twilight, but still has the addictive quality of young adult fiction. I've gone on to Mansfield Park by Austen next. Yup, a bit of a jump backwards, but I like mixing it up.

I liked Looking for Alaska, but could take it or leave it as well. I absolutely loved Paper Towns and TFIOS.
I'm currently reading
This month I've read several other good books...
These were ones I would recommend :)
I'm reading The Amber Spyglass, I'm 39 Pages into it and I love it already. I finished reading The Subtle Knife earlier today and would definitely recommend the whole His Dark Materials Series :)
I'm reading The Night Circus, by Erin Morgenstern - absolutely love it! Fantastical, fashionable, and stylistic imagery! She has an artistic view and her Cirque des Reves is full of imagination and dreamery! I don't want it to end...
I just finished Crystal Promise: The Shattered Crystal. It's a little YA, a little Fantasy & Sci-fi, a bit conspiracy. Has something for everyone. Is a quick read with good characters. I gave it 4 stars. Please take a look at my spoiler-free review and check out the book.http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Currently I am reading
. I am really enjoying it :) I can 100% recommend it, if you like a bit of history and excitement :)
Currently reading scorpia from the Alex rider series.
Here is a link to my book blog where I talk about both Divergent and The Fault in Our Stars!!http://woodsbooks.wordpress.com/
My favorite author, Carolann Hays has a new book out for FREE, for the next five days. Jump on the bandwagon. I just started it, and it's GREAT!http://www.amazon.com/Downfall-of-an-...
I'm reading Salman Rushdie's memoir about living in hiding for 9 years after having a "fatwa" declared on him and fanatics calling for his death for his book "Satanic Verses." Interesting, scarey.
I finished The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle yesterday. I really liked it. You get to know most of the characters through the stories they tell the main character. I've never read a book like this before and can't wait to read other books from Haruki Murakami.The next book I'm going to read is A Thousand Splendid Suns. The Kite Runner is one of my favorite books, so I'm looking forward to this one.
I'm currently reading the Darkest Minds and I ordered The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer, The City of Bones, and Hush, hush (which will all be here Friday!).
Just finished
. So now I'm starting
. Hopefully by the end of the week I'll be on
, need to wait for the library to get it in.
I just recently finished reading "Shatter Me" by Tahereh Mafi, the book is so amazing, the events are unpredictable, the characters are likable, and this books is packed with suspense and thrills. I highly recomment that book to those who loves dystopian.I'm planning to read the "Percy Jackson & the Olympians Series" by Rick Riordan. Have you read it guys?
I've finished The Morganville Vampires Book Four: Feast of Fools - Rachel Caine. Now I am going to read The Morganville Vampires Book Five: Lord of Misrule - Rachel Caine.
I am currently reading "The Dark Heroine" by Abigail Gibbs and I'm half way through it. I enjoyed the first few chapters but I'm finding that it is starting to drag a little but I will continue with it and hope it picks up as I do like stories that have British vampires ;)
Just finishedMrs. Dalloway I feel that Mrs Woolf never meet a adverb that she did not like and it was a bit difficult to understand the world she crated but I did love the conversation.
Ready Player OneFun.. Fun... Fun easy read that one can see that it was written to be made in to a movie as it is predictable but fun.
now to go back to a classic
Brave New World
and a current novel
Gone Girl
as the first two books of this month.
I will be skipping this month picks for the club as well ... yeah I won't be rude, but I just can not see myself reading them.
