What book are you reading?

[[deleted user]]

Now I'm reading Untamed. I'm going to try to finish House of Night this weekend.

[Abbie]

SPOILERS

I agree but at least they rescued in the end. I'm reading Dewey: The Small Town Library Cat Who Touched the World. It is really cute.

[Sarah]

I just finished Lament by. Maggie Steifvater. And it was so amazing!! Its a YA book. but very good for young adult and older readers. I start Ballad the 2nd book in the series later this week. I am so excited.

Are the house of night books very good? Who is the author I forgot?

[[deleted user]]

House of Night is by P.C. Cast. I enjoy the storyline very much, but a lot of the dialogue is childish. The author did have her 13 year old daughter help her write them, so that may be why. If you can ignore that part of it, then the story is actually pretty good.

[Fiona (Titch)]

Finished reading Poor Little Bitch Girl - Jackie Collins and now deciding to read Housewife In Love - Alison Penton Harper

Gulliver's Travels is an excellent book full of great imagery. I could also reccomend Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe if you haven't read it.

[David]

Just picked up Tank Lords by David Drake.

[[deleted user]]

Reading Hunted. Only have 1 more House of night book after this one and then I will be able to start one of the other series I currently own but have not started. I have Chronicles of Narnia, Lord of the Rings, Percy Jackson, and Dark-hunter.

[Ellie]

I'm in the middle of "the white tiger." I like it a lot.

[[deleted user]]

Sounds interesting Ellie.

I am reading Tempted. Finally almost finished with the house of night series. I think I am going to read Percy Jackson next. My husband already finished the first one and we were planning on reading them together, so I guess I should catch up!

[Priscilla]

Reading "La celestina by Fernando rojas"
still not done reading DOn Quixote
and also started reading today Deception point by Dan brown...
before i continue reading deception point(want to keep reading it) tough i have to read the Spanish books first for school

[[deleted user]]

I finished the House of Night series... what is out of them at least. I think the last book is my favorite so far. Now I have started the Percy Jackson series and am starting the second book, The Sea of Monsters, today.

[Fiona (Titch)]

I am reading Uglies - Scott Westerfeld

[Abbie]

Oh they are good; I read the Pretties and Specials, but never got the last one.

They are a series and the last 1 is Extras if thats any help.

Uglies
Pretties
Specials
Extras

thats the order in the series hon xx

[[deleted user]]

I've read the first 3 also. I still haven't gotten around to Extras. I think because it was about different characters that it wasn't too high up on my priority list. Probably sometime soon I will get to it.

Linda, have you read his other books? I have his Midnighters series here as well.

[[deleted user]]

I haven't read Midnighters yet, but I do plan on reading those in 2010 as well. So far, I have only read the 3 from the uglies series, but a lot of his other books look good to me.

A friend's opinion on the Midnighters series Linda:

I read the first installment of "Midnighters", another series by Westerfeld about an extra hour in the day where everyone is frozen except for one group of kids, but I didn't find it as good as Uglies. I found myself wondering what the big issue was of having an extra hour and didn't really see the point.

[[deleted user]]

Sounds interesting in theory. I guess it really depends on where Westerfeld goes with it. I'm curious to see what he does with that.

So am I tbh, I have these from library. So I might get through the Uglies series (the 3 I have here) and then try and read his other series (Midnighters).

[Fiona (Titch)]

Will finish Uglies - Scott Westerfeld today and then read Pretties - Scott Westerfeld.

[Fiona (Titch)]

Finished the marvellous and will now read [image error]

[[deleted user]]

Finished The Titan's Curse and will continue the series with The Battle of the Labyrinth. Also reading Shadowland and Skinny-Dipping.

[Abbie]

Do you like the Percy Jackson's so far? I just picked up one callled Aria of the Sea. It's pretty interesting. I am still working on Count of Monte Cristo, The.

[[deleted user]]

I'm loving the Percy Jackson series! I've been reading them out loud to my husband and he is enjoying them as well, but he doesn't like that they are children's books so much. He would rather have more intense battles.

[Abbie]

I can understand that. The last one is a little bit more intense than the others too.

[[deleted user]]

Oh okay. Maybe that one will be his favorite then.

[Fiona (Titch)]

Just finished Pretties. Wow, what a book. Had me stuck to it over the past 48hrs. This is a great 2nd book for this series. Shows you how Tally and the gang start thinking for themselves and all the trouble they get into lol. Can't wait to see what happens next in the next installment.

I would say 8/10 again for me.

Now reading Megan's Way

[Pollyanna]

I'm reading Wintergirls at the moment. I'm half way through and it is really interesting, becoming a real fan of Laurie Halse Anderson she writes so beautifully.

[Priscilla]

after exams are over(this Friday).. I'll start reading Narnia! and sins it December it's a perfect month to read Narnia :D

Have you enjoyed the Last Olympian?

[[deleted user]]

So far I am loving it. I was surprised to find that the book jumped straight into the action in the first chapter! My husband already finished it and decided it was his favorite.

[Abbie]

I'm glad!
