I'd love to read it with you, Fiona. The only problem might be that my daughter asked me what book I might want for Christmas, and I told her Specials and Extras, since I knew I wanted to read a couple of books before getting back to the series. I'm afraid she's gotten me the book, and I'll have to wait until Christmas to read it now. Is that too long of a wait for you?

Can you not ask your daughter if you could read this 1 as I am getting the other book on saturday and I can wait til after christmas to read it as its a kind of spin off to the UGLIES series x

Fiona (Titch) Hunt (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.

Kellyflower | 136 comments I've just started Kristin Cashore's book Fire Fire by Kristin Cashore


message 1416: by David (new)

David (dcgolden) I'm reading The Knife of Never Letting Go by Patrick Ness, after that I am going to read either Poison Study or The Forest of Hands and Teeth.

But I am getting Study over the Holidays (Hannukah) so not sure when I'll get that one
I already have Hands and Teeth.


message 1417: by Sara ♥ (new)

Sara ♥ (saranicole) | 719 comments I just finished Fire. I really liked it... I can't decide whether I liked it better than Graceling or not. I think it had to potential to be better than Graceling, but I don't think it flowed as well... *shrugs*

Next book is probably going to be The Time Traveler's Wife, as it's due at the library on Tuesday...


JG (Introverted Reader) I'm about halfway through Un Lun Dun and I really like it so far. It has a feel similar to Alice in Wonderland, but the stories are completely different.

Jessika Hoover (jessalittlebooknerd) Right now, I'm reading Louisa May Alcott's Eight Cousins which is a nice, heartwarming read, which is perfect for this time of year!

I love Alcott! An Old-Fashioned Girl and Little Men are my favorites, but I always loved 8 Cousins, too.

Michele (kaoden39) | 31 comments I am thinking about reading Inkheart. I saw the movie lastnight and well I think the book might be worth reading.


message 1429: by Misty (new)

Misty | 1505 comments Not to deter you, because you should read whatever you want, but Inkheart is one of those books I LOATHE and wish I hadn't wasted my time on.

Oh wow. I haven't ever had an interest in it before but this was a whim desire for me. Why is it you didn't like it?

Susan I'm reading Hush, Hush and I can not put it down!!! I have to know what is going to happen with Nora and Patch and have been turning the pages like a true addict!!!

Hush, Hush is one of those books where you wish you could read faster because you want to know what happens, but at the same time you don't want the book to ever end!


message 1433: by Bill (new)

Bill (reedye) | 71 comments I wish I understood what it is with Hush, Hush. Especially the fascination with Patch. I thought it was awful.


message 1434: by Jessika (new)

Jessika Hoover (jessalittlebooknerd) Yesterday, I re-read two of my favorite childhood Christmas books: The Best Christmas Pageant Ever and The House Without a Christmas Tree. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for quick, funny, heartwarming reads.

Kellee Moye (kelleemoye) Bill wrote: "I wish I understood what it is with Hush, Hush. Especially the fascination with Patch. I thought it was awful."

I guess I could understand how there may be a disconnect being a male reader. Patch is so fascinating because he is struggling with human desires at the same time as wanting to fulfill his duties.

Jennifer (JenJen1221) | 623 comments Michele wrote: "I am thinking about reading Inkheart. I saw the movie lastnight and well I think the book might be worth reading. "

I read the book and I didn't like it very much. I kind of wished I didn't buy it. I borrowed the 2nd book from my niece and it was a little better. But she also told me Inkheart (the movie) was WAAAY better than the book. But I agree with Misty, you should read whatever book you want, too. This series just wasn't my cup of tea.

My nephew started my daughter reading the series when she was like 11 and she was scared by Inkheart. And it just never interested me until I saw the movie. And I want to understand the story of the characters a little more. I am kind of holding off the book, but I have it here if I want to read it. Right now I have an ARC called Hadrian Memorandum that I am trudging through.


JG (Introverted Reader) I really liked Inkheart, Michele, I just wish that an editor had cut out a big chunk of it. It eventually felt like it was going around in circles. But I still gave it 4 stars.

Possibly Kellee. There are plenty of fascinating characters like Sam in Shiver and I've read many although it will be less in future as romance seems to have taken this genre over. Patch has no redeeming qualities at all. The guy is a creep. Not fascinating or slightly dangerous or any of those other things that would work. He's everything a girl should be running from 100 miles an hour in the opposite direction. I have been a little shocked at the amount of girls in love with him. Elliot is also a creep. That does worry me slightly. The two main male characters being such dreadful examples. Mind you I also thought the two main females weren't great characters either.

Jessika Hoover (jessalittlebooknerd) I just started The Book of Lost Things. I'm a chapter into it, and it's entirely too early to tell what I'll think of this, but I do enjoy Connolly's style.

Jess, hope you like it. It's one of my all time faves!

I FINALLY started Shiver! And I FINALLY got time to read and participate on GR again. Holidays were crazy busy! Missed you!

Susan I am reading Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins. It is book 2 in her Hunger Games trilogy. The first book left me hanging so bad I ran to the library to get book 2!! I had to know what was going to happen next!! Love love love this trilogy!!!

Me, too! Those were the best books I read in 2009. I loved them! I saw an advertisement at B&N for the third book yesterday and got excited. But then I saw the bottom... "Coming in August 2010!". That's too far!!




message 1444: by Susan (new)

Susan I know, what am I supposed to do for 8 months while waiting for this last book!! I'm going to start reading the Sarah Dessen YA books I have on my list, not sure what after those........

Rebecca I agree with you Natalee. I think are perfect for a light in between series.

I agree. These were two of the best books I read in 2009. 2009 was a great reading year for me, and these two books helped make it so. August does seem so far away.
