Reading champion soon??? it was Aweome!!!
Salman wrote: "Reading champion soon??? it was Aweome!!!"Planning on it, yes. I tend to actually like to put a little space between series rather than read them straight through(most of the time at least). So I'll probably read another book or two, then jump on into Champion.
@tommy I can't do that. I like to read straight through so k remember everything lol. @ salman, yea I really liked unwind a lot.
Alison wrote: "@tommy I can't do that. I like to read straight through so k remember everything lol."No, you're doing it right, I'm definitely the weird one here haha. All though, I did read Harry Potter all the way through the first time(had a late start on the series). A few others as well. But only the ones I reaaaally love get my full attention like that haha.

The difference of neal's writing with others is he is pretty straight forward from the beginning. So i am knowing whats happening. :) Its a complete series also, so i wont have to wait for anything.
btw i will read
next.

For me too.
I just finished The One. Right now I'm reading The Forever Song - I loved the first two in the series, but I'm just not feeling this one. But it's the last book so I'll definitely finish. And I'm also halfway through Breaking Point, which I put to the side so I could reread the Selection series. Can't wait to get back to it!
@jessica, yea I'm starting to get some what into it. so we shall see. how far did u get till h decided to stop. I'm like on page 136. what did u think about the one? I read breaking point and it was a good read, I also like the sequal haven't gotten to the last one yet.
I can't quite remember how far I got but I think it was pretty far I took it camping with me and didn't have anything else to read. lolI loved The One! I feel like the end was a bit rushed though.
I agree that the ending was slightly rushed-Otherwise it was great!
so I'm almost 200 pages into the partials book and I just don't know if I can finish it. I haven't really connected to any of the characters yet and the story isn't that good to me. I feel bad not finishing it though, what do I do!!! :(
I'm usually pretty quick to drop a book. If I'm not enjoying it, I know that there's plenty of other books out there that I will enjoy! I'm especially quick to quit a book that's part of a series - if I don't want to finish the first book, what are the chances that I'll want to read the third? On the other hand, I might miss out on an awesome story because I gave up on it too quickly. I'm okay with that though.

What I do with books, especially ones I don't finish, I try to pass them along to someone who it might work better for. That way, bam, still supporting an author and maybe introducing a friend to a new favorite series.
Graceling by Kristin Cashore. I'm only on chapter four, but I really like it so far! It was exiting from the first page
still reading partials and it has gotten better. i'm really starting to like it
Done with Graceling. Loved it. On to Clockwork Prince
I'm about halfway through Champion, the end of the Legends trilogy, and it's holding my interest just as well as the first two did.
Graceling and Champion are both AMAZING
I just finished the first two books of the Darkest Minds series and loved it. Now, I just have to wait until fall for the third one.. really really good books..

Can't wait for October 28th, when In The Afterlight comes out.
the darkest minds have to be one of my fav series!!!
reading fragments. so far I am enjoying it
Just finished the 4th book of the Enemy series by Charlie Higson. Didn't expect to become completely obsessed with it, but I did! Just waiting for the 5th book to come out. In the mean time, about to start partials!
Alison wrote: "the darkest minds have to be one of my fav series!!!"Agreed. Such a good series.
I'm on
, the last book in the Article 5 series. It's starting to drag on a bit, but it's still pretty awesome. Going to continue the Delirium series next. I read the first book like a month ago and loved it, but got caught up with other books so I haven't gotten to the sequel yet!

@ Jessica I've read article 5 and breaking point but haven't gotten to 3 yet. let me know what by think when u finish it loved loved loved delirium! gonna have to reread it again soon, such a good series!
I know!!!!!! but I am super excited to reread the books! I recently loaned out the book to my sister in law, but so far I don't think she is digging it. I don't know y though!!! how can u not love it!!!! ruby & liam!!!!
just finished the Escape the Furnace series and I'm starting the Gone series right now :). Escape the Furnace was good, different and dark with a twist of humor. Good ending to the series also

I've read the first 4 books. Liked them a lot. The library got a brand new copy of the last one, so I got it! I'll read it soon.

Yay- I hope you like it :D
just finished fragments. onto ruins!!!
Alison wrote: "just finished fragments. onto ruins!!!"How was fragments??
Needed to get back to some good ol' magic, so I started reading
2 chapters in and I'm interested but things seem to be moving rather quickly. Not a complaint, but I wish I was more in the know haha.
Wooow! I need this book too! But I'm actually reading Destroy Me by Tahereh Mafi
@riya it was pretty good. I'm just not fully liking this series. I'm so invested in it though so I feel like I need to finish it. so I got like 250 pages left in ruins so I'll finish it. but yea, its OK lol
@Alison- good to know. Haha I'm debating reading it since I'm also not that interested, I guess I'll just persevere :P
by Kat falls. I've been wanting to read this for ages.
Julia wrote: "Wooow! I need this book too! But I'm actually reading Destroy Me by Tahereh Mafi"I love love love that series! I just finished rereading Ignite Me. <3
I'm in the middle of Pandemonium - it's good, but not as captivating as the first book.
And I'm about halfway through If I Stay. I wanted to read it before the movie. It's interesting (but not amazing) and a really fast read.
I'm almost finished the Chaos Walking trilogy and I've started Delirium. I've got I am Four on my TBR pile as well as The Maze Runner and Elsewhere.
What thoughts are out there about what I should read next and why?

@daniel, yea it's taking me awhile too I think I'm only in like the 5th chapter but I figured I give it a try because it was the same way for me with the chaos walking, it wasn't till.I hit about 100 pages that I really started liking it lol. I almost have up on it a few times. so glad I didn't!!
