Tatiana (schoollibrarian) | 12 comments Last week I finished "We'll Always Have Summer" by Jenny Han, the third and last installment in the Summer trilogy. LOVED IT. I'm currently reading "Boyfriends with Girlfriends" by Alex Sanchez, and so far it's pretty good.


message 3055: by Cheryl (new)

Cheryl (cherylllr) I'm staring at The Invention of Hugo Cabret. It's kinda like a graphic novel. I've been told by several people that it's a quick read, but my eyes are so bad and the illustrations are so dark I'm just too intimidated to actually pick it up and open it. Meanwhile I'm reading The Princess and the Goblin / Princess and Curdie (Oxford World's Classics.

I suppose I will have to read it. I was really frustrated with the first two; Conrad is such a jerk, and treats the main character (I forget her name at the moment) so badly. But I keep hearing good things about the last one. If she does end up with Conrad (don't tell me!!), he better grovel at her feet for forgiveness.

Cheryl (cawils_99) I just finished After, a good read but kind of a downer. Now I am starting Wintergirls and it doesn't seem to be anymore upbeat but so far it has me intrigued. Next book will have to be humerous (probably Hoot or Diary of a Wimpy Kid.)


message 3059: by Alicia (new)

Alicia I finished Inside Out, and am moving directly on to Outside In.


message 3060: by Cheryl (new)

Cheryl (cherylllr) tx Heather. I still haven't read it. Finished My Brilliant Career in the meantime. I'm reading (Hugo Cabret) for an April discussion though so I'd better get on it!


message 3061: by Amy (new)

Amy I finished Unearthly which I really loved. Started The Lost Hero.

I hope you enjoy the second book, Alicia. I am currently re-reading Outside In. I'm a little less engrossed in the story the second time round but that has more to do with outside factors (hehe!).

Brenda Klaassen (librarymom23) I have the "Advance Readers Copy" of The Emerald Atlas, I am really enjoying the story.

Kellyflower | 136 comments I'm almost done with The Dark and Hollow Places. I really love Carrie Ryan's story telling.

message 3066: by Patricia (new)

Patricia (venio) | 11 comments I'm reading Delirium (Delirium, #1) by Lauren Oliver


message 3067: by Sheri (new)

Sheri (sheribo) | 55 comments Just finished Candor last night. Really liked it. But I can't seem to fint it into the reading challengs =( oh well. Think I'll start Across the Universe tonight. But I also picked up Downsiders at the library. Decisions, decisions.


message 3068: by Angela Sunshine (new)

Angela Sunshine (angelasunshine) I'm reading Emma by Jane Austen on my phone, which I haven't read in years.

I've also started reading a hard copy of On the Jellicoe Road by Melina Marchetta (why won't it let me select just "Jellicoe Road"??? My copy doesn't say On The!) which is confusing the heck out of me. I am sticking with it because enough of my trusted friends here on GR say to :)

I've also started the non-fiction audiobook Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers by Mary Roach. Interesting, to say the least!


message 3069: by Stuart (new)

Stuart (asfus) | 15 comments Not exactly YA stuff, but I am reading Night Train to Lisbon by Pascal Mercier


message 3070: by Amy (new)

Amy I'm not reading a YA book either. Finished The Lost Hero (which was awesome) so now I'm reading The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake for my book club.


message 3071: by Amy (new)

Amy Sounds great Heather. I'm always looking for good graphic novels to read.


message 3072: by Heather (last edited Apr 13, 2011 03:29PM) (new)

Heather | 2 comments Oh, I loved Jellicoe Road! I'm readingUnder the Dome and it is pretty good, but I'm anxious to get back to some YA!


message 3073: by Angela Sunshine (new)

Angela Sunshine (angelasunshine) I'm on page 150 now of Jellicoe Road. Hoping it all pulls together soon, haha!


message 3074: by Eden (new)

Eden Silverfox (tsalagi_writer) | 265 comments I'm reading Down a Dark Hall by Lois Duncan.


message 3075: by Amy (new)

Amy I'm reading Shimmer by Alyson Noel. After my book club book, I needed something short.


message 3076: by Cheryl (new)

Cheryl (cherylllr) Alien earth by Megan Lindholm. It's called YA, but I don't know why - except that the human protagonists are pre-pubescent. But that's because we've become extremely long-lived, in part because we artificially delay the start of puberty until well past the age of adulthood. Good book - lots of interesting ideas developed from a core of exploring man's r'ship to his environment.

I loved Jellicoe Road. It is pretty foreign and confusing at first, but I ended up loving it. And Griggs rocks.


message 3078: by Amy (new)

Amy I'm reading Tempted, book six in the House of Night series.


message 3079: by Eden (new)

Eden Silverfox (tsalagi_writer) | 265 comments I just started reading The Ruby in the Smoke by Philip Pullman.


message 3080: by Amy (new)

Amy I"m reading The Marcelli Princess. Not YA but part of a romance series.


message 3081: by Kirsten (new)

Kirsten (kirsten27) | 53 comments I'm currently reading a Discovery of Witches and LOVING it. I'll be so sad when it's over. So far it looks like a book I will be recommending to everyone.


message 3082: by Tatiana (new)

Tatiana (schoollibrarian) | 12 comments I thought Conrad was a giant jerk and Jeremiah was a sweet angel - until I read the third book. Belly has a lot to go through and think about in this last installment, and it's not easy for her. I hope you enjoy reading it, and tell me what you think when you are done. :)

message 3084: by Emily (new)

Emily I'm finally reading City of Bones (The Mortal Instruments, #1) by Cassandra Clare for the first time in my life. I got the box set, so I'm excited to read them all.


message 3086: by Amy (new)

Amy Finished up my romance novel. Getting ready to read The Lost Gate by Orson Scott Card. Don't think it's YA but I've read most of his other books and really enjoyed them.


message 3087: by Kirsten (new)

Kirsten (kirsten27) | 53 comments I'm rereading City of Bones right now, as I got the fourth book for my birthday recently, but feel like I need to read the trilogy again first. I'm still loving Discovery of Witches (not YA), and would like to do nothing but read it, but my messy kitchen awaits.


message 3088: by Amy (new)

Amy Six days later and I'm still reading THe Lost Gate. Ready to be finished with it already.


message 3090: by Brenda (new)

Brenda Klaassen (librarymom23) I am working on Framed, with my son.


message 3091: by Cheryl (new)

Cheryl (cawils_99) Just started The Ruins of Gorlan and it looks pretty good.


message 3092: by Amy (new)

Amy Just started Awakened.


message 3093: by Angela Sunshine (new)

Angela Sunshine (angelasunshine) I'm listening to Prophecy of the Sisters by Michelle Zink on audiobook, which I was really wanting to read despite mediocre reviews. I'm finding it mediocre too. Boo.

I've also just started Give Up the Ghost by Megan Crewe. Starting out good, hoping it stays that way!


message 3094: by Cheryl (new)

Cheryl (cherylllr) Not YA, and not engaging - The Physics of Star Trek. For another club.


message 3095: by Amy (new)

Amy I take that back. Not reading Awakened, reading Burned. Cannot keep these one name House of Night titles straight.


message 3096: by Amy (new)

Amy Finished Burned and I absolutely loved it. I think it's the best one in the series so far. Starting In Too Deep today. Book six in the series. Happy that they are quick reads.


message 3097: by Cheryl (new)

Cheryl (cawils_99) Finished the The Ruins of Gorlan and loved it. I will definetly be looking for the next in the series. Now I am reading Life As We Knew It and I can't put it down.

That's how I felt about LAWKI, too.

Angela Sunshine (angelasunshine) I'm reading King of the Mild Frontier: An Ill-Advised Autobiography by Chris Crutcher King of the Mild Frontier An Ill-Advised Autobiography by Chris Crutcher , which is pretty funny so far. I'm glad Chris found a channel for all the energy he had as a kid!
