and not sure how I feel about it yet
Just finished
and it was quite disappointing. But... I just picked up
from the library so that's next and I'm sure it will be awesome! :)
I finished
(the last book of the 13th Realty series) today. This was a good one. Not an all time great series, but fun all the way through with a super good ending. I recommend.Up next,
Finished
I really liked it. It was fun and quick and the imagery was fantastic. I recommend it, especially as an in-between-series read.Up next, I'll probably reread
until I can get back to the library later this week.
Finished
(reread) today. Always good to go back to the book that made me love the series.I'll probably read
over the weekend.
I finished
this morning. A quick, fun, solid read.I'll probably take the weekend off from reading to get some outlining done before getting to the library on Monday.

That seems to have been a really fast read. Is this the basis for the movie? Or vice versa?
I am currently reading Matched by Ally Condie. I am really early in the book but am loving it so far! This wasn't my first choice this time around, my book store in town didn't have any of the trilogy's I wanted to go with, in stock. But it's been on my long list of To Read. Very excited to see how this series goes!!
Rebecca wrote: "That seems to have been a really fast read. Is this the basis for the movie? Or vice versa?"Yeah, I started it last night ended it this morning haha. It was both fun and short making it a quick one. The books came before the movies, but the two products are very different. In this case, I like the movie better. Not cause the book was bad(simple though it was, being for kiddies) but the movie is one of my favorite cartoon movies.

Thanks. The dry humor in the movie is fantastic.
Took an 8 mile hike to the library today(4 there, 4 back) and got me a nice batch of books, mostly books in series I need to finish.I'll probably read
starting tonight.
Damn Tommy - that's dedication to reading! I just finished
- it was pretty awesome. I'm going on vacation next week (Caribbean cruise paid for by my wonderful mother-in-law!) so I'm planning on reading a bunch of books! I have a short-list of about 20 books. lol There's no way I'll get through all of them!

Exaggerating, of course, but I really don't like going long without jumping into a world someone else loved so much that they had to write hundreds of pages about it haha.

Finally catching up with everybody else and I've started reading The Darkest Minds since I've already read the Legend series. :D
I'm currently reading
, I really liked the author's first series "The Goddess Test" so I hope this one is as good and interesting as that series
I finished
and absolutely loved them. They're for "mature readers", so I can't recommend them to everyone, but if you're of an age/maturity level that you can read them, I recommend them highly.Up next I'll really get started on
and I'll try to have that and
and
by Monday, when I plan on returning some things to the library then hanging out and writing for a while.
I'm working on The The Infinite Moment of UsIt's not bad. And as a Wren, I'm comparing myself to this Wren.
It's sort of racist, though...
I finished
this morning. I liked it a lot. Quite a bit more than the first three books of the series.I started
as well. Loved the first book, and just a couple chapters in I'm already liking this one just as much. I really wish this series was more popular.
I finished
today. Man, I loved it. some of you folk should check this series out if you haven't.I started
a little bit ago. Ran by it at the library and have been meaning to read a Hope Larson graphic novel for a while. Just started it, but so far it's interesting.
Finished
and, sadly, was kind of let down. I've been wanting to read a Hope Larson graphic novel for years now and this book sounded so promising. It wasn't that it was bad, just kind of... flat? I don't know. I loved the artwork, though. I'll give H-Lars another shot :)Up next will probably be
I just started reading
Very excited about this series with a new release coming out in April! Have a great day everyone!

I am REALLY enjoying it! Even though I have been bawling my eyes out for half the book... I think it will be in my top favorite books! I have Pivot Point on my To Read List too! I highly suggest this book as long as no one looks at it to deeply on how the author portays depression. It's a great book so far!
I finished a reread of
and
decided I'm gonna catch up on the comics, but so far, honestly, liking the show more.Also finished
liking this series more and more with each book. One more to go, hope it ends strong.Up next I'll more than likely start
I finished
earlier today. I wasn't overly crazy about the first couple of books, but really glad I kept with it. One more book and can't wait to see how it ends.Up next,
:)
Y'all! I just finished all the bright places and it was sooooo good. Could not put it down. I loved loved loved both main characters and oh, all the feels!!!! Def a must read!
Finished
it wasn't for me I even thought about leaving it and putting a DNF :/ I never in the whole series thought this was dystopian it just it didn't feel like that for me. Now I don't know what to read next.
I finished
and
and LOvED them!! I am now reading
and about halfway through, so far it's good.. Not like anything I've read before..

That makes sense and I think you're right. I'm happy to have the focus elsewhere for a change.
