I'm Currently Reading...
Cambria, u should asap. I liked the first book but was hard to get into it. I didn't really see what everyone did about the writing being beautiful. with the second book I started really getting into all the characters and by book 3 I think I had a love for each character :) I mean really, I cried a lot.in this book, prob for no reason at all lol. can't wait to hear what u think of this last book!

I loved Gods and Monsters. Zuze and Mik are my favorite book couple eva.
Sadly, after spending over a week to reach page 70, I decided to give up on
:/ The synopsis sounded so interesting, but that far in and nearly nothing had happened. So sad.I started
(my last library book) a couple days ago, and I'm liking it so far. It's pretty light and kind of funny, but still interesting enough so far.
been soooo busy haven't had anytime to read. ergg...

and
… they are both staring at me from my book shelf as I force myself to do homework
just finished the darkest minds reread and it was better then the first time in read it. I could.not put it down. I love liam!!! JM reading never fade now. at the moment this series is my all time fav. can't wait to read in the after light!!!
I'm in the middle of too many books again! I was in the middle of
and
, which are both pretty awesome. And then
shows up on my doorstep - I forgot I had preordered it and I forgot that it was coming out and I wanted to reread the first two books first!! Eek! I haven't been reading much lately either. :( I've been marathoning the few TV shows that I like so that I can get caught up.
Finished
last night. I enjoyed, but did not love it. If you're looking for a series involving magic(Egyptian curses in particular) starring a very smart and enjoyable young girl(eleven), I'd consider this one.I'm going to start
later tonight. It's book one of a scifi series that I got to review. Seems to be more space fairing than dystopian, which I welcome at the moment.
It is taking me forever to read City of Fallen Angels. Last book was soooo good now this is boring.. Meh :/
Has anyone else read Schizo? I am reading it right now.
Wren - never heard of it, is it good??
Since I last commented I finished:
which I really liked. Kind of a really intense drama in space. It felt more "grown up" to me than most YA books I read, but I really enjoyed it and would recommend it to anyone looking for a change of pace.also,
a graphic novel that takes place after the end of the TV show. If you watched the show, I recommend this. If you haven't, I recommend watching it, then reading this. Love this series in all its incarnations :)I'm now reading
I'm a little less than halfway done. Not much of a clue what's going on, but I'm liking it. The intense scenes are like :O
Schizo was okay. A bit dull. Not the best I've read about a guy who has a psychological disorder...
Dear goodness.I'm so paranoid right now.
Why?
'The Evolution of Mara Dyer'
I am terrified to look in the mirror.
Dear god...
Mara Dyer is my Favourite Series of All time! It's sooooo good!
I am reading th staff of serapis by rick riordan!! I finished blood of olympus yesterday and I an still a mess!!!!! It was heartbraking all the way through , and the book was amazing and i want more!!

I'm currently reading [the girl with all the gifts] really enjoying it so far.
Just finished The Evolution of Mara Dyer. It was crazy good. I'm kind of speechless
It is good. But I have a bit of paranoia, and reading about mutilated cats at ten at night isn't good for my paranoia.
I just realised that the two main characters in I'll Give You the Sun, are named Noah and Jude. And I finished The Evolution of Mara Dyer just a couple of hours ago. I'm confused

Haha. I'll be reading I'll Give You the Sun. Someday. Maybe soon. Maybe not.I'm reading Chasing Shadows now. It's for BoB...
I finished
last night. Oh my god, why did you guys not warn me about all of these feels?! I loved it, though.Tonight I'm gonna start
I am currently "The Elite" by Kiera Cass. It is the second book in "The Selection" and I'm more than halfway through it. My teacher let me borrow the third one because it's likely I'll finish "The Elite" before Thanksgiving Break is over. It's really good though. Dramatic and page-turning, I'll say.
Ooh. The Elite. I've read that one. She's making a fourth book, you know. The Heir.
I'm preparing my wimpy self for 'In the Shadow of Blackbirds'. If I didn't need to read it for BoB, I wouldn't read it. The cover is terrifying in and of itself.
I reallllllly really wanna read Darkest Minds now. It feels like now Im rushing to finish The Selection series so I can read the Darkest Minds. Ahhhhhrrrrgggggh...
I just started The One, the third book in The Selection series by Kiera Cass. I would say it's very dramatic and intense.

I finished
and loved it. Better than book one, which I also loved.Started
last night. I'm sad for it to end.
Tommy, the last book is amazing. Enjoy.
Daniel wrote: "Tommy, the last book is amazing. Enjoy."Thank you :) I'm really liking it so far, but I'm not too far in.
I'm currently reading
-- 2nd book in a great sci-fi/fantasy series. Enjoying it as much as the 1st, so far.
Took a break from
to read
and
.Both very good, now back to the MoM!
I'm finishing up
and it's pretty damn good. The first 20 pages or so reminded me a lot of The Selection, but then it takes a totally different turn.

I really like the Mara Dyer series too...that author does a great job with building up the story and making me anxious. just put the third book on hold at the library.
I finished
this morning. God, this series was something special.Immediately opened up
after that. I liked it, but it made me mad haha. Made me want moooore!I'm currently reading
and will start
within the next couple days.
I read
, an Avatar book for kids. Pretty cool, mostly a recap of some season 1 episodes and then some side fact stuff. Still, if you're a fan of the show, it was cool.I decided that since
is a collection of odd issues, I'll read it on the side as I continue to read novels. So I started reading
It's been a little spotty, but I'm liking it so far.
I finished the 2nd book in The Kota series (great sci-fi) and am now reading Charlie Robot. Only a few chapters in so we'll see how it goes.
