How did you like Nick and Norah? Enjoy Georgia Nicolson! She's the SILLIEST girl I've ever read about... ;)

[Shannon]

I just started reading and I like it so far. But I don't know why, for some reason this book is really tugging at my heartstrings. I haven't had anyone really close to me die, but Abbey's despair over the loss of her friend has made me tear up a few times. Hmm. Maybe it's just hormones, I don't know.

Also, I have to say that this is really making me want to read The Legend of Sleepy Hollow now.

[Kathy]

I just finished A Certain Slant of Light by Laura Whitcomb and thought it was a great read. It was a most interesting ghost story with love, forgiveness, and redemption all thrown in.

I am going to read a few pages of by Suzanne Collins tonight (well actually it's already in the morning) before I turn out the light.

[Sara ♥]

Just finished [image error] . Holy cow... it got pretty... errr... heated there toward the end! !!!

[Beth]

I'm reading Bog Child by Siobhan Dowd

[William]

I'm reading The Invisible Man

[Alisha Marie]

Kathy, I'm glad you enjoyed A Certain Slant of Light. It's in my TBR pile and moving closer to the top.

[Misty]

Just finished Catching Fire. Now I have a very long wait ahead of me. Don't know what I'm going to read next; maybe The Name of the Wind or Zombie Haiku Good Poetry for Your...brains

Nick & Norah was okay. I think I was hoping for better, so it was my fault. And Georgia really is a silly girl...I love reading this series!!!

[Sara ♥]

Nick & Norah... I think it was a cute story, but GEEZ, the language! It really bugged me!

[Sara ♥]

I really loved A Certain Slant of Light as well. I've even bought it for a couple of my friends.

[Kathy]

It's good to hear that you all, Sara and Jo, both loved A Certain Slant of Light, too. I especially enjoyed Helen's love of literature as a feature of her character.

I'm almost a hundred pages into Catching Fire, and love it every bit as much as The Hunger Games so far.

[Sara ♥]

I'm going to start City of Ashes pretty quick here...

[Jennifer]

I'm reading Cupcake.

[Laura]

I'm reading The Mysterious Benedict Society, which was recommended here, so far so good! Also reading John Adams, The Secret Life of Bees, and The Quilter's Apprentice. Yes, it's wacky.

[Sara ♥]

Scratch City of Ashes (I'm going to put it off until I get the City of Glass from the library, too...)

I'm currently reading Bloomability by Sharon Creech.

Oooh. I got sucked into that so bad.

[Eden]

Reading Skeleton Man by Joseph Bruchac.

[Vicki]

Gypsy wrote: "I'm reading Poison Study right now. "

Oh, I really want to get that book. Love to hear what you think of it!

[Eden]

Currently I'm reading Believing Is Seeing Seven Stories by Diana Wynne Jones and listening to Howl's Moving Castle on audiobook.

[Kathy]

I finished Catching Fire today, and I so love this series. This second one was as good as the first, and the first was spectacular!

[Josie]

I'm reading Scarlet by Stephen Lawhead at the moment - it's ok so far, better than the first in the series anyway.

[Zainab]

joy! let me know what you think of it! I thought it was awesome! I was interested from beginning to end...it was one of those really good books that you havent read in awhile...

Me too! Wasn't expecting to like it and I couldn't put it down!!

[Gemma]

Loved Poison Study, the other two didn't match up in my opinion. I'm toying with reading Storm Glass, for some reason I'm pretty reluctant.. Anyone else read it?

I've just recently finished The Poison Throne by Celine Kiernan.. I don't think it's out in the US yet, but when it comes out buy it. I love books set in different worlds, this one's like an alternate medieval France with talking cats and ghosts (:
The language was really rich and complex, so it felt really mature for a YA book to me.
Desperate to read Shiver, but can't find it anywhere! :|

[Misty]

I read Storm Glass. I liked it about the same as Magic and Fire Study. Not quite the spark of Poison Study, and not quite the emotional development (I would say more, but I don't want to give anything away, but just about everyone I know seems to agree on this aspect), but still enjoyable and worth while, I think. I'm picking up Sea Glass next week for my book club, so we liked it enough to move on to the next the series.

[Katie]

I am reading Alpha;s--the new Lisi Harrison book. I am not a huge fan of "The Clique" but I know this book will fly off the shelves, so I wanted to give it a try. Entertaining so far...

[JG (Introverted Reader)]

I'm abot halfway through Catching Fire and loving it! I might just finish it tonight.

[Eden]

I'm reading The Little White Horse by Elizabeth Goudge.

[Mandy]

I just started 13 Little Blue Envelopes by Maureen Johnson. It flies off the shelves where I work, so I thought I should see what it was about. I've enjoyed it so far.

[Misty]

Just finished The Name of the Wind. Probably going to start Zombie Haiku Good Poetry for Your...brains.

[Kathy]

I'm reading a light-hearted vampire novel, Nice Girls Don't Have Fangs by Molly Harper. It's a humorous look at a librarian who loses her job, gets mistaken for a deer, and is turned into a vampire all in one day. Now she has to learn how to be a vampire.

I was looking through this books on good reads today. I checked for Poison Study the last time I went to the library but didn't realize it was in SF because I have had that one on my TBR for awhile. These are two seperate series though right?

I finally started Shiver, but I am reading three books right now, so I haven't gotten too far yet.

[JG (Introverted Reader)]

I finished Catching Fire and liked it even more than The Hunger Games! I don't want to have to wait for the next one!

Now I'm starting a cute little fairytale called Once Upon a Marigold.

Now I'm starting a cute little fairytale called [book:Once Upon a Marigold|15..."

Waiting for the next one is so hard, JG. As soon as I finished Catching Fire, my thoughts were of not be able to read anymore of the story for a year.

[Sara ♥]

I'm reading Jumper by Steven Gould and listening to the audiobook of Inkheart by Cornelia Funke.

The Glass series is a spin-off from the Study series; you can read one without the other, though you might miss out on some extra tidbits. But nothing major, they stand on their own.

[Misty]

Finished Zombie Haiku Good Poetry for Your...brains, started Maus I A Survivor's Tale My Father Bleeds History for the challenge and A Kiss of Shadows (Meredith Gentry, #1) for my book club. Loving Maus, not so much KOS...

[Sara ♥]

Maus was really cool. Go ahead and get the sequel lined up and ready to go, because the story stops fairly abruptly at the end of book 1!!

[Caroline Havenhand]

I'm reading The Way of Shadows by Brent Weeks at the minute - it's one of my favourites, but right now it's the only thing getting me through a gruelling dissertation - you have to have something nice to disconnect from it all with.

Thanks for the tip!

I felt the same way about the Study series. I know some people were turned off by the horse in Magic Study--that didn't bother me, but it felt like she didn't intend to write a sequel, and then was given a two book deal and rushed to come up with the Sitian plot.

I'm about halfway through Storm Glass, and I really love the concept, but I don't think the writing & characters match up to it. Also, at almost 500 pages, it feels overwritten. That being said, it is starting to pick up, and I've already bought the second one in the series.

[Jennifer]

I just finished A Great and Terrible Beauty. Now I'm reading Naomi and Ely's No Kiss List.

[Zainab]

I was able to finally find Catching Fire..nearly half way through, but it just hasn't got me caught up in it like Hunger Games did..i think its like, too much with the romance...just a bit? opinions anyone??

Also, is Storm Glass a continuation of the Poison Study series, or the other way around??

[Sara ♥]

Zainab--that's the best Catching Fire spoiler I've ever seen. WOO HOO!! I love me some romance!

I finished Inkheart and Jumper last night. Both were better than their movies. Inkheart (the movie) was fairly true to the book. Jumper on the other hand.... Like I keep saying, I don't know what the screenwriters were smoking when they were adapting that book, but it must have been a hallucinogenic....

[Misty]

Storm Glass is a spinoff using a character from the Study series (Opal, the glass blower).

Finished Maus I A Survivor's Tale My Father Bleeds History, reading Eternal. Still trying to make myself want to read A Kiss of Shadows (Meredith Gentry, #1) for my book club.

[Jennifer]

I'm still working on the Georgia Nicolson series. Right now I'm on book 7 Startled by His Furry Shorts

[Sara]

I'm almost halfway through The Body Finder by Kimberly Derting. The concept is really cool--when an animal or person is murdered, the death leaves an "echo" on both the victim and the killer. The MC Violet can sense these echos, and girls have started disappearing in her town.

But I'm not digging the writing. We'll see...

[Sara ♥]

I just finished The Off Season by Catherine Gilbert Murdock, which I loved.
