After you are finished with that one, Stephanie Meyer has Midnight Sun on her website. It is basically Twilight from Edwards POV. She only got half way through it before it was leaked onto the internet so she isn't going to finish it, but I still thought it was very good.

Currently, I am listening to A Great and Terrible Beauty at work and re-reading Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone at home. I am also picking up Evermore from the library tonight.
Just finished Succubus Blues - Richelle Mead. A great book. I am going to read A Winter's Tale - Mark Helprin (ML).
Have to put my books aside and read a ML (Mobile Library) book called Wedding Babylon - Imogen Edwards-Jones & Anonymous.

I heard about Midnight Sun and how she didn't finish it. It's a bummer, really. I hope she finishes it someday. What did you think of the series?
Right now, I'm reading The Secret Life of Bees, and I think I'm also going to read The BFG.
It is a bummer! I enjoyed the series. I probably read all 4 books and the follow-up Midnight Sun in about a week. I did go back and think about some of the relationships and find a few good points from other readers, but to enjoy the books so much to not put them down for a week? I can't really complain about them! :)
I couldn't put them down, either! I mean, I know they weren't the greatest books, and I totally understand and respect the opinion of those who didn't like them, but I don't know what it was...I just loved them!
Finished Evermore this weekend and will continue listening to A Great and Terrible Beauty and re-reading Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.
Finished Wedding Babylon - Imogen Edwards-Jones & Anonymous
Finished A Great and Terrible Beauty.
I am going to continue reading Eldest and re-reading Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone & Twilight.

i'm still rereading Harry Potter 6...after i'll start reading the chronicles of NArnia...
I want to read Narnia soon as well. These are books I never read when I was younger and have been wanting to read for a while. I'm hoping to get a Kindle soon and will have an easier time getting books.
i re read Harry potter 6 too before i saw the movie and then i started this one called All the Tea in china
I read the Chronicles of Narnia last summer and I really enjoyed all of them! I read one or two of them when I was younger, but I think I appreciated them more reading them after I got older. I could still read them as a charming story, but I also understood all of the Christian allegory behind the story.
Jess, sounds like waiting to read them wasn't too bad a choice on my part then! :) My husband says he read them when he was younger and probably wouldn't read them again, but that could be because he didn't understand some of what was going on at his young age.
Stopped Over The Edge - Jonathan Kellerman. Gonna try and read Succubus Nights - Richelle Mead.
Finished re-reading Twilight.
I will continue reading Eldest and re-reading Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.

Linda Grace--I thought Eldest was pretty good, although slow in some parts. What do you think of it? I still haven't gotten around to reading Brisingr, which I got when it was released. I just finished The Secret Life of Bees and it's now one of my favorites! Next, I'm starting The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane, which I'm really excited for!
So far it's okay. I like learning more about Roran's life, but the switching back and forth is a little frustrating at times.
Yeah, I did get a bit frustrated with that book. I didn't think it was as bad as a lot of people found it, but then again, I'm usually the type to just read for entertainment.
So am I. It's so much more fun that way! :)
Just finished the brillant Succubus Nights - Richelle Mead. Will now carry on reading Hollywood Wives - Jackie Collins.
I just finished Summerhill Secrets #1 and want to get the second one. My Mom reads all the Beverly Lewis books about the amish and these are her first teen series I think. I really liked it.
Finished Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone and of course loved it again! As I was reading, I knew what the next line would be without reading it first... haha
Will continue reading Eldest and start reading The Book Thief & City of Ashes.

Reading the Ghost by Dannielle steel...and going to read a little princess!
Taking a break from Hollywood Wives - Jackie Collins and gonna read Meredith's Treasure - Philip Harbottle. A Western genre book lol.
It was really good. I am enjoying this series immensely! I am going through them so fast because I want to find out what happens next. :) I guess it can be like that with most series.
Haha yeah... I love series. There are still a few I want to read, but I like to finish them once I start them and I have a pile of books to read already.
Almost done reading The Ghost by Danielle Steel, 3 chapters left to read...(It has a slow beginning,in chapter 3 it starts to get interesting...i like it)
I finished Eldest and am going to start reading City of Glass and The Black Dagger Brotherhood An Insider's Guide.
Finally finished Meredith's Treasure - Philip Harbottle. Now I am gonna carry on readin Over The Edge - Jonathan Kellerman.
I'm reading a little princess by Frances hodgson Burnett(just started)
Pris, I read that book recently. Let me know what you think!! :)
Jo, I really want to read that book. How are you liking it?
I am for sure going to read it. Hopefully before the end of the year. Maybe we should do it as a group read?? You should nominate it. So far we only have series books and we usually do 2 regular books too.
I'm currently reading "jessica's guide to dating on the dark side" by Beth Fantaskey
reading "No place like home" by Mary Higgins Clark
Still reading No Place like home (Almost done:))...And started today also reading the Iliad by Homer...(I'm reading a Spanish edition)
Reading Marked (still... trying to finish my library books before I get too much into my new series) and Fragile Eternity.
Started on all the Wzard of Oz books. I'm on Ozma of Oz.
Read NO place like HOme today....:D...I'm going to begin reading "The Beach House" By Jane Green (Read some cool reviews)
Jo, how did you like The Time Traveler's Wife? Did you see the movie?
I am almost finished with Fragile Eternity and am about to start The Host for our group read next month.

Oh awesome. When I open up the discussions for our group read, I look forward to hearing more about your thoughts on The Host.
I did see the movie. It did cut out some things, but I feel like they were the right parts. Because the book/movie was pretty from the beginning of their lives to end, a lot of the scenes were shortened as well. I would suggest seeing the movie, but not until it comes out on video in order to let the book stay in your mind for a while. I'm glad you liked it.

It will be open the first of September because it is our group read for that month. If you want me to open it up early, I can do that today. :) We are flexible here.
Hehe sounds like me!! :) All the groups here at GR are awesome and fun. I will send you a message when the discussion is open. How does that sound?
