Sent I felt was a bit of a let-down and seemed to be written to a younger audience. not sure how to explain it but it felt "fake"."

Hm. I actually disagree. I felt that Sent was a great extension of Found and beautifully mixed history with adventure and fiction so that young adults and juveniles would enjoy and understand it.

[Jennifer]

I'm reading Fairy Tale and I'm really enjoying it.

Downloaded? reading or listening...this is a daunting read that at the start can be off putting - but stick with it! It is one of my all time faves!

After I finish the The Yankee Years (Still Not YA) I'll be reading



because my friend bought it from Border's today and he'll DEFINITELY be sharing with me.

[Roshini]

Reading 'The Adoration of Jenna Fox' though it's taking me an awfully long time to get into it.

In my opinion....it will get a little better but not much...there are parts that keep you interested but to me they were far & few.

David...you will DEFINITELY have to read it and let me know what you thought of it because I have been wanting to read that and I haven't gotten to it. :)

[Michele]

I bought it for my son. He plans on starting it tonight.

Guess I'll keep reading, I find it really hard to put a book down once I've started it. Thanks for the tip Jinnifer!

I am reading _Chanda's Wars_ by Allan Stratton. I had to get to page 112 until I was completely sucked in. This has been a life saver during end-of-quarter tests. I should be doing other stuff like writing papers, but here I am reading for pleasure.

[Beth]

I just finished Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire so I'm about to start HP and the Order of Phoenix. I'm also in the middle of reading The Naked Mole Rat Letters by Mary Amato which is very light, kind of silly reading and If I Stay by Gayle Forman, which is heavier and sad but engrossing.

I actually really like that series, which surprised me. Minus the shallowness of the richer characters, I think the storyline is pretty rich with history and religious references--I am looking forward to reading the third and fourth books.

I miss the Lightnint Thief series - it was awesome. Must reread it. I'm working on the Peter and the Starcatchers series - amazingly well done too.
BYT - it's great to see so many new people here in Wild Things!

[Kellee]

Tlc,

I just finished the Percy Jackson series- I loved it! Wish it could go on and on :)

I haven't read Peter and the Starcatchers yet- recommend?
I do get to meet Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson next Friday, though!!!

[Michele]

I just finished The Demon King. I enjoyed it. Now I am starting Gone.

RECOMMENDED! Just got the fourth book



it's sitting on my bedside table.


P.S. How do you quote?

[Kellee]

Tlc,

You just hit the reply button :)

[Kellee]

And thank you for the recommendation! I will try to read it before I meet Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson next week!

[Avigail]

Well right now I don't read any YA book I read a mystery book called The Gaudi Key A Novel by Esteban Martín & Andreu Carranza I reaky like it and I listen in my ipod while following the text Outlander by Diana Gabaldon

[Alisha Marie]

Right now I'm reading My Enemy's Cradle by Sara Young and I'm really liking it. I'm only thirty pages in, but so far I'm having trouble putting it down.

[Bhumi]

Jo, you're so lucky!

[Donna]

I am now reading Uglies and I am very much enjoying it. I usually try out YA's and never really get into them but this one is keeping me well entertained!

[David]

Uglies, Pretties, Specials, and Extras are some of my favorite YA books I enjoy most of Scott Westerfeld's books

[[deleted user]]

I just finished Found and I enjoyed it, it was definitely a YA and maybe even a JF. I am now starting Sent...

I think Haddix has already started the 3rd installment in the Missing series.

Then I am going to read

[Kathy]

Finished The Owl Killers by Karen Maitland and loved it! I'm starting The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie by Alan Bradley tonight.

Lucky you to meet them - have always loved Dave Barry's humor books but am just blown away by the creativity of the 2 of them together!! Am about to start #4 - oh tell them the audiobooks reader is pretty amazing too! Though I think Mr. Barry could possibly hold his own if he tried. I totally agree with David of Wild Things - RECOMMENDED. The books make the Disney movie "myth-like" which is the beauty of their writing.

[Kellee]

Tlc!
I just started listening to the first Peter book on audiobook- it is a very good audiobook- very good voices!
I will pass your love onto them :)

[Shanna]

I've been working on Vamp Diaries book 1 for a while, and I'm also reading Shiver.

[[deleted user]]

I just finished Sent. It was really good and so was Found. I am interested to read the rest of that series when it comes out.

Now on to Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell

[Donna]

Just finished Uglies gave it 4/5 stars and now I am waiting for Pretties from the library.

I am now readin my First Reads win Eating Animals by Jonathan Safran Foer

[Alisha Marie]

I finished My Enemy's Cradle last night and am now reading The Portable Dorthy Parker. I'm really enjoying it.

[Roshini]

Finally located a copy of Teach Me by R.A. Nelson and am already halfway through. Interesting subject matter, anyone read it?

[Michele]

I am reading Hunter's Moon. I got an ARC today in the mail. I am real excited about it.

[Kakari]

Mara, Daughter of the Nile

[Misty]

Finished Her Fearful Symmetry (finally), and have started We Have Always Lived in the Castle, which I am excited about.

[Roshini]

City of Bones...need to see what the hype's about.

[Tahleen]

Finished Fire today, and I am happy to say I liked it a lot, and I think I appreciate Graceling more now that I've read its companion.

[Sara ♥]

Ooooh... I'm glad to hear that Tahleen!

[[deleted user]]

I am starting .

[Bhumi]

It's a great series, Jinnifer.

[Kellee]

Agreed!!

[[deleted user]]

Thats what I hear!!! :)

[JG (Introverted Reader)]

I'm finally getting started on Eclipse. I'm afraid I waited too long and got a little over-saturated with all the Twilight stuff. I keep rolling my eyes as I read. But I'll keep with it.

How are you enjoying Percy Jackson?

Hayes, JSMN is not YA, when I first got interested in it I wasn't sure if it was YA or just fantasy. But it is an Adult fantasy book. To tell you the truth, I totally could not get into that book at all! I tried to push through it as much as I could and I hate to not finish books but I couldn't finish this one. It wasn't a bad book, it just wasn't my cup of tea. I really hope you like it.

So far I am liking PJ I think I about to get past all the introduction for Percy and into the really fun stuff! :)

A lot of people have said that... it seems to be a love it or hate it kind of thing. It is awfully long! It's sitting there on the shelf... eying me...
