I'm reading Inferno by Dan Brown. Wanted to get the chick lit vibe that I got from Why We Broke Up for awhile so I picked up Brown.

So far, its good. Its emotional. And one can be conflicted. Whose fault is it? The parents, the children...the community? Or is it no one's fault? Hmm.
I'm currently reading
and I'd have to say that there's only been a few times where a book can captivate me within the first couple pages and this one has done so. Really really good so far

Currently reading Ancillary Justice. It's very absorbing, and although I had to work to wrap my head around a couple things I am really enjoying it and would recommend if you like science fiction.

I'm always stuck under a pile! However I loved Cloud Atlas so I would say that if only for that book it's worth it. My current pile includes
Ancillary Justice, Salt Sugar Fat: How the Food Giants Hooked Us and Just One Day. The real drama is in the "want to read" pile though :)
Heyo People! New to the group! But by the looks of the topics I think I know of a book you would really love!! It is called Ions Echo by J.Matthew and was just released last night! As of right this minute it is only available on Amazon.com as an eBook.It is a Dystopian/Post-apocalyptic Sci-fi thriller. It has romance, plot twists, awesome and tragic characters, and it is really well written!
One more huge plus is that the story really keeps moving forward! It is not the least bit slow! :D
Let me know what you guys think if you read it!

I'm reading Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. I'm just beginning the book, it contains a lot of detail. It was listed on a number of "Best Books of 2013" list.
Currently reading "The Luminaries" and "Jim Henson: the Biography". The former is a great one to read when I've got large chunks of free time, whereas the latter is easy to leave off and pick up.
I have finished Faceless - Dawn Kopman Whidden and now about to pick up The Husband's Secret - Liane Moriarty.
I finished Sex in the title by Zack Love and started on his new short story City Solipsism! Amazing!Where SITT was so funny, CS just makes you think about chance encounters and Love!Sex in the Title: A Comedy about Dating, Sex, and Romance in NYC
City Solipsism: A Short Story
I just finished The Knife of Never Letting Go and so did not like it at all. I do not understand the popularity for this book.I just started The Ghost Map: The Story of London's Most Terrifying Epidemic--and How It Changed Science, Cities, and the Modern World and will start Fall of Giants later tonight.

Jodi - I didn't like The Knife of Never Letting Go either. I know other people that loved it, but it was not for me.
Kiss the Sky by Krista and Becca Ritchie. Really enjoying it so far. I'm surprised this romance is not more well known. If you want to read the series you should start with Addicted to You
Finshed The Silent Wife...not too great, found myself rushing to get through it, just so I could see what happened. Kinda weak ending

Just finished Delirium by Susan Kaye Quinn. It is the first book in her Debt Collector Season One series. I love Delirium so much, I immediately bought the entire Debt Collector Season One series.
Highly recommended for all sci-fi/dystopia/fantasy readers. :)

I am re-reading Sabriel by Garth Nix :) I enjoyed reading it the first time, so I decided to give it a go again!

JEALOUS! ;)"
Why is that Michelle?
Sabriel is amazing. Shes such a strong protagonist. Lirael is probably my favourite out of the three books as I love the disreputable dog and the library.
Just finished Private L.A. - James Patterson. Now I am going to try and read n finish From a Dead Sleep - John A. Daly.
For anyone interested
is only $2.99 for Kindle on Amazon right nowhttp://www.amazon.com/Cinder-Lunar-Ch...
Yesterday, I finished From a Dead Sleep - John A. Daly. Now I am reading Home Again, Home Again - Nadine Christian.
i just finished Lover Unbound, book #5 in BDB series. loved it.Now im reading
, interesting and different read
City of Ashes by Cassandra Clare, Book Two of the Mortal Instruments series. Book 1 was ok, not my favorite, but decent. A friend keeps loaning them to me so I'm hoping it improves as I am having a slow start to it.I also started As I Lay Dying, which is a tediously slow read and Everything Is Illuminated, which I think will be amazing but requires more focus and a quiet setting due to the Russian-English accent use (not sure how to describe that).
