April (booksandwine) | 312 comments No YA at the moment for me, but part of my book features a 10 year old girl, but it's clearly adult fiction : Sarah's Key by Tatiana De Rosnay.

That should be the cover blurb!

Taejas Kudva (kudvat) | 24 comments I've been meaning to read Kiki Strike Inside the Shadow City and The Looking Glass Wars, but I've been distracted by The Hunger Games (just finished) and Graceling (just started).

Oh, and a small mountain of graphic novels: I wanted to get some Captain America background (started with Winter Soldier volume 1; all 4 were surprisingly well written and beautifully drawn) before the movie comes out since he's so iconic, and someone told me that the Wachowski Bro.s stole some ideas from a book called The Invisibles; and there's a whole pile of other stuff besides.

Vicki I am just about to start Lock and Key by Sarah Dessen.

message 764: by Beth (new)

Beth Knight (zazaknittycat) | 390 comments I just started reading Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. I'm finally going to finish the series.


message 765: by [deleted user] (new)

Yay Beth! I love the Harry Potter series!!


message 766: by Beth (new)

Beth Knight (zazaknittycat) | 390 comments Linda Grace, I read the first two books a long time ago and now I'm just getting back to the series. So far I'm really loving the 3rd book. I'm going to keep reading them straight through!


message 767: by [deleted user] (new)

:) Enjoy them! Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is my favorite in the series, but the one you are reading is my sister's favorite.


message 768: by Misty (new)

Misty | 1505 comments Azkaban was my favorite until Order of the Phoenix. But they all run pretty close for me. Hope you like them (and love Sirius -- fave character!)


message 769: by Beth (new)

Beth Knight (zazaknittycat) | 390 comments Well so far I'm loving Azkaban, and I'm only on page 69! I've decided that HP is going to be my night-time-curl-up-in-bed-with-a-cup-of-hot-tea reading!


message 770: by April (new)

April (booksandwine) | 312 comments Mmmmm, tea. :-)
Beth, if you haven't read it yet, Anne of Green Gables is a good hot-tea-read. :-D

Currently, my boyfriend and I reading each other the Phantom Tollbooth before bed. We're reading three chapters a night. It's nice to read a book out loud with him and share something special with each other.


message 771: by Allison (new)

Allison (inconceivably) I've said this a billion times but...I am way overdue for an HP reread.

April, that is a really neat thing to do. My hubby would rather stab himself in the eye repeatedly then read. :(


message 772: by April (new)

April (booksandwine) | 312 comments Oh, I only got him to start it last night because I cried LOL, I was like "you don't love me, we never do anything together, if we do this I promise I'll take my fat ass on a run with you."


message 773: by Misty (new)

Misty | 1505 comments :D


message 774: by Allison (new)

Allison (inconceivably) lol!!!


message 775: by Beth (new)

Beth Knight (zazaknittycat) | 390 comments April, awwww. My hubby and I have read a couple of books out loud and it was great. I think we need to start doing that again. I love your method of getting your boyfriend to do it, LOL! I remember reading the Phantom Tollbooth to my oldest son. I loved that book!

Gail | 12 comments Just finished City of Bones, Soon to start Eldest...


message 780: by Misty (new)

Misty | 1505 comments Ooh, loved that. My friend's struggled with the beginning (the first 120 pages), but ended up loving it.


message 781: by Allison (new)

Allison (inconceivably) yeah, The Host is a favorite of mine, love it.


message 782: by Misty (new)

Misty | 1505 comments Think I'm going to start Out Of The Dust today.


message 783: by April (new)

April (booksandwine) | 312 comments We had to read Out of the Dust for class in 8th grade. Not gonna lie, it was pretty cool, we did a whole day of Dust Bowl related activities which included walking around in dirt-goggles, which were actually a glorified version of those beer-goggles they make you wear during alcohol awareness events.


I'm about to finish Across the Nightingale Floor by Lian Hearn. After that, I'm going to finish a non-YA book, then start Rowan Hood Outlaw Girl of Sherwood Forest by Nancy Springer.

I like it a lot, just a bit miffed at the Tribe. I own the third book, so before I continue I need to obtain the second book. I'm thinking I'm going to start the second book next month. :-)

UGH!!!!! I saw it at the thrift store two weeks ago, but it was gone last week. I totally would have grabbed it for you.

bummer.


message 786: by Bhumi (new)

Bhumi | 274 comments I'm reading Avalon High, Rebel Angels, Blue Moon, and The Summoning.

Avalon High is good, Rebel Angels is really good.

The Summoning is just OK so far.

Blue Moon, however, is quite depressing. At this point. And it doesn't look like things are going to change.


message 787: by Misty (new)

Misty | 1505 comments Started The Book of Lost Things. Think I'm going to breeze through Love That Dog too, since it's so short.


message 788: by Vicki (new)

Vicki I recently finished [Book: Lock and Key] by Sarah Dessen, which I really liked. I also finished Pretty Little Liars by Sarah Shepard. I thought it was ok, but not interested enough to continue with the series. I have Paper Towns and Uglies here to read from the library.


message 789: by Samantha McNulty (new)

Samantha McNulty I started reading Marked this morning. I picked it up on an impulse along with it's sequel Betrayed. I've heard mixed reviews, so I'm trying not to be judgemental.


message 790: by Alisha Marie (new)

Alisha Marie (endlesswonderofreading) I started Coraline by Neil Gaiman last night. It's great so far and a tad bit creepy.

Oh, Misty, Love That Dog is such a great little book, one of my favorites.

I think the series picks up with book 3, if you feel like sticking around that long, but it always remains flawed and is going to become dated in about two seconds flat.

Alisha: Coraline is one of the creepiest young children's books I've ever read, and I love it for that.

Kathy: I know. I've read it twice before, once for a Children's Lit class, and once with my sister. I'm looking forward to reading it again.


message 793: by Jennifer (new)

Jennifer (JenJen1221) | 623 comments I started to listen to The Princess Diaries. It is my 1st audio book an I'm loving it.

I'm finding it really difficult not to compare Marked and Twilight. When I read Twilight last year, I found it hard to get into, but found myself enjoying some parts of the book immensely. It's the same with Marked at the minute. I'll keep reading it though; I try never to give up on a book.


message 795: by [deleted user] (new)

Finished The Hunger Games and City of Glass.

I am going to start Wicked Lovely next.


message 797: by Bhumi (new)

Bhumi | 274 comments I just finished City of Ashes (5 stars!).

Still working on Avalon High, Blue Moon, Rebel Angels, The Summoning.

Reading 5 books at the same time is difficult!


message 798: by Misty (new)

Misty | 1505 comments While I'm waiting on two challenge books to get here from the library (Book of a Thousand Days andSavvy), I have started reading one of the books I picked up at the library book sale. It's called Singer, and has less than 50 GR ratings. I picked it up for the beautiful cover, but I think I am going to like it.


message 799: by Allison (new)

Allison (inconceivably) ooo, I really want to read Book of a Thousand Days! Hope its good.


message 800: by Allison (new)

Allison (inconceivably) grr...and I just realized I hadn't even added it to my TBR...

oh well, whats one more.
