@jessica yes! I loved the voice for parks mom! And I loved the voice for park. Who every he is he did a great job, I think it made me love Park more! It was the perfect voice!
I just started Forged from the Taken Series. I'm only on Chapter 6 but so far it is very good! I am happy it picked right up from the last book!!
I started City of Heavenly Fire but don't want to take on that large of a book right now. Now I'm about to start Paper Towns.

especially the end it kind of dragged for me......
It seems like every other MI book dragged. I definitely want to finish it since I've come this far. I'm not in any hurry though lol
Since I last posted I've finished
,
, and
4 more books left in the Bone series, a fantasy both epic and hilarious
Locke and Key is... well kind of indescribable. Recommended for "mature" readers. So long as you feel you fall under than umbrella and are not opposed to reading comics, I highly recommend.
And Curse of the Wendigo was just amazing. I really, really like The Monstrumologist, but its sequel blew it out of the water, IMO.
Next up for me,
Wait, Abbie - did you say that there is going to be a Mortal Instruments TV series? I live outside of the US and don't have access to regular TV. What channel will be playing it?

I'm currently reading Red Queen which, in my opinion, almost seems like a female version of Red Rising.

Last night I finished
My favorite book so far in a series that is shaping up to be one of my top 5 or 10 series ever.This morning I finished
Good god, I've never seen hilarity and drama balanced this well.Up next, probably

, going to start the next one tonight.
I finished
last night, and while the first two books were excellent, this one won me over just a little more because of the way Yancey focused on certain relationships and how he made me flip flop on my opinions of certain characters.Up next
, a cape and tights story by an Emmy winning TV writer. Should be fun :)

Um i guess it's both a good and bad thing i guess? Red Queen was good but there was a lot of lack of detail. It seems to be a popular book which irritates me a little because Red Rising is a lot better and has some of the same aspects as Red Queen but it isn't as well known. The storylines were very similar in my opinion. Overall, I would recommend Red Queen because it keeps you on the edge of your seat but at the same time I would HIGHLY recommend Red Rising. Hope that makes sense. lol
I'm currently reading
. I honestly really love this book and can hardly put it down but it's not as "beastly" as i thought it might be.

Makes tons of sense, actually haha. I plan on reading both but will let Red Rising cut in line haha :)
Just finished
and am blown away by how good it was. Wasn't ready for that at all, I got it as something light to break up my darker reads. It is, IMO, every bit as good as the Lunar Chronicle and Monstrumologist books I've been reading recently. Different, but equal in terms of how much I enjoyed. I doubt I'll convince many to check it out. Trust me, I almost passed on it. But if you do skip it, you're passing on what might very well end up being my favorite read of 2015.Up next, finishing off the Monstrumologist with
*excited*
Just finished
Not my favorite series, but one that stands alone in a very unique way. I doubt I'll ever read another series too similar to this. Fantastic.Now I'm starting
Just started reading Divergent and so far I am loving it. I don't know why it took me so long to finally get it.
Just finished
and now on to
. I'm really enjoying these and can't wait to see what
brings. Have a great day all!
Currently dipping in and out of Laini Taylor's Daughter of Smoke and Bone. Read all those books but love this one and like to dip in and out whilst reading other work. Getting ready I think to do the same again with Divergent..
Finished
today. I quite liked it, but not quite as much as I liked the other 3 books. Still, very good. I'm excited for Winter :)Tonight I'm gonna start

I finished
today. Bone is phenomenal. I don't know how I've been a comic reader all my life and never got to this series before now.Up next,
I am currently reading Crown of Midnight and I love the series so far! excited to find out how it all ends!

I like it, but I'm just not that into it. I keep switching to other books. :/
I just finished
I liked it, but didn't love it. There were more pros than cons though and I did become invested in the characters so I'll for sure read the sequel.Up next I'm gonna read the first book in a series I've meant to read for years
Just finished Midnight for Charlie Bone I really liked it, but can't go so far as to say "loved it". I am intrigued by the rest of the series, though.Up next, some comics reading Bone, Vol. 8: Treasure Hunters while I decide what novel to read next.
Ohhhh! I haven't!! I'll look them up. Thanks! Have you read shatter me Series!? Ugh it's like my fav!
Just finished
and am mad at myself for getting to one of the greater comic series I've ever read so late in life.Up next I'll either read
(the final book in the Bone series, not counting the 2 prequels and 1 companion book(I'll be reading those as well)) or
Just finished
Now all I have is 2 prequels and a companion book before being able to say I've read the entire Bone collection. Such a remarkable series.Up next,
