Madison (ramblingbookreader) Jenny I am so super jealous. That gives me a whole new idea on how to sort my 3 bookshelves.

Seriously super jealous, Jenny! Tell Darryl he needs to build your friends' bookcases too! ;)

Awesome! how many books in the Unwind dystology do you have left to read? Harlee and I are starting a buddy read of the last book on Thursday :)

I'm so excited for you guys to read Undivided! You and I started our friendship out by reading Unstrung and UnWholly together, David! ;) So I have a special place in my heart for this series.

Jenny (juliababyjen) | 12932 comments Mod
That's so cool Karen! David and I started ours off with Pushing The Limits. Not nearly as epic as Unwind, but we had a rollicking good discussion with it. Also with Prodigy which was a bout the same time. Karen I think our first buddy read was Scarlet :) so we started off with the Lunar Chronicles, great series!!!!

I love book memories with my book triplets. :)

message 67: by Victoria (new)

Victoria Zigler (toriz) | 4472 comments Since I'm already on the 5th Percy Jackson book, I guess my Summer reading list will just be to get as many of the books I've had for a while read as possible.

I have a couple of newer additions I want/need to read for various reasons, but I mostly plan to focus on trying to get the books I've had sat on my Kindle for ages read. I especially want to read some of the books I picked up when I first got a Kindle, since those have been sat on the Kindle waiting to be read for a couple of years now.

I'm not sure how much of a dent I'll be able to make in my "to-read" list, but I plan to make as big a dent in it as possible.

Looking to start UnSouled pretty soon, we've been BRing the series in my Buddies Books & Baubles group.

Thanks!

Yeah, I might do that. I have to get copies of those ones first though... I've marked them as books I want to read, but I haven't got copies yet.

Yeah... I'm sure they'll be easy enough to get copies of. Might make a point of doing it next time I have some book spending money, then I can get those read this Summer too.

Would be nice to be able to say I've read the whole lot.

I need to finish Heroes of Olympus, too. I've only read the first 2. The third, The Mark of Athena (The Heroes of Olympus, #3) by Rick Riordan is on my summer TBR, though.


message 77: by Victoria (new)

Victoria Zigler (toriz) | 4472 comments How were the first two, Jenny?


message 78: by Jenny, Always smiling! :-D (new)

Jenny (juliababyjen) | 12932 comments Mod
Loved them even more than the first series Victoria!


message 79: by Ashley Marie (new)

Ashley Marie I loved the whole Heroes of Olympus series <3 my sister got me the House of Hades for Christmas last year and I finished it in two days lol. Made for quite a long wait for Blood of Olympus ;)


message 80: by Heather (new)

Heather Have y'all read The Red Pyramid?


message 81: by Victoria (new)

Victoria Zigler (toriz) | 4472 comments I'll definately make sure to grab copies of Heroes of Olympus if it's better than the Percy Jackson series. I mean, I'm loving the Percy Jackson ones, so better than that equals must read!

Yes! I enjoyed it, although it felt more middle-grade than the PJO books. I'm starting book 2 in the Kane Chronicles next week!

I read it a few years ago so I dont remember details.

of course! I feel bad that's taken me this long to get around to finishing them all. book slumps are killing me lately. I actually seen a couple blogs with The Earth Dwellers on their Top Ten Tuesday posts!


message 95: by Heather (new)

Heather (hersecretsmile) | 290 comments My May/June list:
Magonia by Maria Dahvana Headley Murder of Crows (The Others, #2) by Anne Bishop The Invention of Wings by Sue Monk Kidd The Girl with All the Gifts by M.R. Carey The Fill-In Boyfriend by Kasie West Black Iris by Leah Raeder Black Dove, White Raven by Elizabeth Wein Fairest (The Lunar Chronicles, #3.5) by Marissa Meyer The Raven Boys (The Raven Cycle, #1) by Maggie Stiefvater The Winner's Crime (The Winner's Trilogy, #2) by Marie Rutkoski This Shattered World (Starbound, #2) by Amie Kaufman The Boston Girl by Anita Diamant End of Days (Penryn and the End of Days, #3) by Susan Ee

Plus whatever I end up getting from my eLibrary. Also this list will probably turn into my summer to-read list because there's no way I will finish every book by the end of the month. Also knowing me, I'll probably add other books in there (considering I already have, whoops).

Jenny (juliababyjen) | 12932 comments Mod
I recently picked up Magonia from the library, Heather! The Winner's Crime and This Shattered World are on my summer TBR too! LOVED The Raven Boys, Fairest, and End of Days!


message 97: by Sky (new)

Sky (mikotea) | 276 comments I'm almost finished The Winner's Crime! I'm reading it now actually. I haven't been able to finish Raven Boys, its just not doing it for me.


message 98: by Heather (new)

Heather (hersecretsmile) | 290 comments I have Magonia from the library too Jenny. :) I just have to make sure to read it before my loan expires.

Skylee, I hope your enjoying The Winner's Crime. I tried to read The Raven Boys a couple years ago and couldn't get into it. I'm hoping I'll have better luck this time because it seems like pretty much everyone raves about the series.


message 99: by Sky (new)

Sky (mikotea) | 276 comments I am! Marie Rutkoski never ever disappoints for me. I've been warned about the ending, so I'm making it stretch a little, aha.

And I feel like if I had tried to read it years ago when it came out I would've loved The Raven Boys. I haven't given up on it yet though!
