Currently reading the last, third book in series, Forever (Wolves of Mercy Falls). They have been good so far and I would recommend if you like wolves and shifting stories with a little love to it.

I'm Currently reading Through the Ever Night by Veronica Rossi. This is the second book in the Under the Never Sky series and it is amazing.
At the moment I keep reading "This is How You Lose Her" by Junot Díaz his writing style is raw and real for some. I want to move on to "A Once Crowded Skyy" by Tom King. But looking through comments for other ideas. =)

I thought the writing was really good, and I loved Sam and Grace's love story. No love triangles to mess with; they're a sweet couple :)
@Michael: I've been wanting to read "This is How You Lose Her"! Glad to hear it's good.
I am currently re-reading "The Princess Bride." The Princess Bride I'm about to start The Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan. The Eye of the World I know it is a bit of a drastic change in genres, but I am excited to finally crack it open!
I love the "Princess Bride"! I've always loved the movie, and I thought the book was just as wonderful :D
I recently found a copy of the The Prince's Bride but am afraid to read it. Growing up with the movie as one of my all time favorite movies, I feel I may be biased.
The book surprises me every time with how great it is! @Michael, you will love it. It has so many different things to offer in comparison to the movie! I still love the movie!
@Michael: I felt like the book just went into more detail than the movie did. Reading the book, I didn't notice any real obvious changes from the movie that I'd seen so many times. You just get some added background to the characters and their stories. It's very well written—just as fun and funny as the film!
@Kayla @Haley. You know as deep down I had to have bought it for reason. =) So after I finish A Once Crowded Sky Will give it a try.. Then who know invite everyone over and have a Prince bride party.. "inconceivable"
Now, I'm reading Paths of Glory by Jefferry Archer. I am really enjoying it right now, for the story line is different from other books that I have read. The book that I highly recommend is 1Q84 by Haruki Murakami. It's an absolutely amazing book. It is completely different from the others. If you are the kind of a lonely person, this book really 'talks' to you.

I'm currently reading Raven by Allison Van Diepen, and I have to say I'm not a big fan so far. I'm sure at some point it's going to get better, but I'm on the fence and considering not finishing it because it just seems a little all over the place for me right now. Though I do recommend The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater it's the first in the series and I loved it! :)
I'm reading Marked, the first of the House of Night series, it's really good, but I don't reccommend it if your parents check your books.
I just started
. So far the writing isn't absolutely, standout amazing, but it's been pretty good so far and I'm just getting to the good parts :)
Emily wrote: "I'm reading Marked, the first of the House of Night series, it's really good, but I don't reccommend it if your parents check your books."I read the first three I believe. Very good books. Ive been meaning to catch back up.
I have just finished the book "Death Cloud" by Andrew Lane. It's very good if you like Sherlock Holmes. The plot was very fast-paced some places more than others. It's Holmes' first case at 14.
I'm currently reading three books, one of them being The Wayfarer Redemption (I love fantasy series!). I highly recommend it :)
I'm reading The House on the Borderland, but I can't quite get interested in it. I want to read to know the explanation for al the events that happen in the book, but I don't really like it so far

Just finished The Twelve by Justin Cronin. The second book in his The Passage trilogy. Both are amazing reads! Now about to get started on The Lady's Slipper by Deborah Swift. Haven't read a historical novel in some time so hopefully this one will be refreshing:)
Brittany wrote: "I'm already reading a bunch of books & today I added Warm Bodies. So far it's pretty good. I'm really liking it."Really wanting to read that one. I have it on reserve at the library but it will probably be awhile before I get it. There's like two million people head of me lol.
I just finished The Twelve yesterday and am reading Zombie Fallout 2 by Mark Tufo (?)I requested Warm Bodies and for some reason there is only 1 library in my entire small state that has a copy and it was available! I got it a few days ago - read 100 pages and gave up. not a bad book but I just couldn't get into the talking, thinking, falling in love zombies. I like my flesh eating zombies mindless
Hello all! I discovered this book from a group of facebook called I Heart Books... I've loved it with a passion it is had for me to explain. This version of Red Riding made me laugh and cry. She's not weak and doesn't have to be saved all the time by the boys, but also she saves the boy she loves. Werewolves and magic and she even rides a motorcycle. I kinda just want to be her, you know. You should give it a read! :>

I am currently reading and do recommend for those of you who read Spanish and like Historical Romances.Estoy leyendo y recomiendo este libro para los que les gusta leer Romance Histórico.
I just started
the first book in the Trylle trilogy. I've heard good things so I'm really excited I finally got to it, but so far everything's been happening a little too quickly for my liking. I like fast-paced books, but this isn't fast-paced so much as just fast.
I just finished "1Q84" by Haruki Murakami. It is the first book by this author I have read, and I liked it, despite it's out of the ordinary structure and style. I have now started "Speaking From Among the Bones", by Alan Bradley. This is the latest (I think fifth) in his Flavia De Luce series about a precocious eleven year old girl detective. I would recommend this series to anyone. Flavia may be a child, but these are not children's books. They are well-written mysteries with delightful characters, and can be enjoyed by reders of any age.
Have any of you guys read the City of Bones Series By Cassandra Claire? Its totally my favorite series EVER!! They are coming out w a movie! I am so excited!! Also the Infernal Series :)

The Iron Fae Series is amazing. At least to me lol. It totally is like a spin off sorta kinda from A midsummers night dream. :) LOVE!!

I'm currently reading "The Inkheart Series", by. Cornelia Funke and I will also be re-reading on of my favorite series of all time, Percy Jackson and the Olympians.
I'm currently reading A Storm of Swords and The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. I'm also (sort of) making an effort to read Paradise Lost and The Fellowship of the Ring.

Yeah, I actually enjoyed the Iron Fey books more than I thought I would considering Meghan wasn't my favorite protagonist, so I was curious if The Lost Prince was as good. I just found it at Half-Price Books the other day for five bucks, so I guess I'll be reading it whether it's good or not! :)

I'm holding out hope, though! Bummer that the sequels aren't quite as good...
Also, to YA lovers (especially those of you who like YA dystopian and fantasy) I would highly recommend the book
. It's phenomenal - I read it in a day!
@HALEY: Sounds interesting. Might check it out. Also... I've heard people use that term repeatedly on here. What the heck is YA?
It's fantastic; very fun and different and well written. I hope you all like it if you get around to reading it. Let me know!@Kyle: 'YA' is just an abbreviation for 'Young Adult'
Ok am new but I have a question .. Why do I see mostly women on all these discussion threads... ? :-) Are we just reading a lot more than men or I need to wait n see more threads before deciding :-)
