sorry *blush*...
STarting I Am the Cheese, which is a re-read for me. very eerie, and strange, and compelling. Lovely use of language and atmosphere... I'm glad I found this again.

I've just read this one, which I really like. Couldn't say about the others.

Thanks Kirsten! Maybe it was the timing, I'll give it another chance some other time. Any others you recommend?

I enjoyed the trilogy. There were things that had my daughter not read them before me that would have kept me from going any further but I am glad I continued on.

Ok you're starting to convince me to keep up with the series. I'll attempt it again soon. Right now I'm reading Things Not Seen, so far so good.

really good read the first 180 or so pages in 40 minutes!"
I have been wondering about that series. I may have to put it on my TBR list.

Since I'm almost done Peter and the Sword of Mercy so Fire then The Maze Runner then Leviathan from a friend. Whew!



It was amazing I had to force myself to stop reading and got bed because of an early morning. I really recommend this book and can't wait for The Scorch Trials-- Book 2!
Going to start Fire tonight also my review for Peter #4 and Maze Runner will be up soon.


I Am a Genius of Unspeakable Evil and I Want to be Your Class President
A very odd quick read.

Yes I too am looking forward to MI4 and ID1!

I just got Leviathan in the mail the other day (!). I want to read Evil Genius, too. Though I think next up will probably be Looking for Alaska, which someone gave me.
Susan, Absolutely True Diary is one of my favorite ya books. Enjoy!

I love all of John Green's books Looking for Alaska, Paper Towns and An Abundance of Katherine's, I look forward to Will Grayson, Will Grayson, his next book.


I have it but I haven't started it, please tell me that I am not going to regret buying it. It sounded so good to me. I am reading Black Rain- A Thriller that I won as an ARC on here that I am reading right now.

I know that it is supposed to be good... I just need to hear a true human being tell me that it is.

Maybe I will put down Black Rain and pick it up and read it.

Adequate pep? I can do more...

Thank you. I will let you know if I need more pep talks in the next 400 pages. Luckily a weekend is coming up, so I can curl up with it for a while.

As I said in my review, it's a combination of Hunger Games, The Lord of the Flies, and the TV show LOST!
Fantastic story line and character development! I simply can't wait for the sequel. It's torture waiting for sequels. I think I need to catch up on all the old books I've set aside beacuse these new books keep coming out. All they do is get me fired up for nothing because it's at least a year before another one comes out! Ack!
Anyway, sorry for the rant, get the Maze Runner asap! :-)

I'm currently finishing up Madapple and just started Hush, Hush.
They are both really good! Hush, Hush is so addictive, I had to force myself to put it down last night so I could go to bed. And madapple is very unique and not at all what I expected. The author really did her research! There is a ton of religious history, mythology, and even botany in there which is really cool to me as I really love knowledge of any kind. I find all of her waxing on about ancient languages, jewish mythology, and plant properties fascinating! This may be a turn off for others though.
It also has quite the murder mystery going on ala Jodi Picoult!
I'll let you know how these turn out!


I also loved Madapple--definitely VERY different.
