I'm still working on Lord of Shadows (The Dark Artifices, #2) by Cassandra Clare but kind of got distracted by David's Deathmarked (The Fatemarked Epic, #4) by David Estes which I'm beta-reading. ;)

And I'm now rereading Scythe (Arc of a Scythe, #1) by Neal Shusterman on audio since it's our Book of the Month. I've been patiently waiting to do my reread with the group. I knew it would win as BotM eventually! Lol!

Hahahah! Definitely GOOD distracted. Typically I have 3 books going at any one time. Well, in this case, all other books have been put aside and all I want to read is Deathmarked. ;-P

Catherine Bruno | 771 comments Finished Sabriel. It wasn't awful, but the writing was a little off. Still reading New World Rising, which is very good. And also reading Quiet Power: The Secret Strengths of Introverts.

Finished Blameless (Parasol Protectorate, #3) by Gail Carriger and another good read in the series! The plot thickens!

I'm also halfway through Midnight Thief (Midnight Thief, #1) by Livia Blackburne which I'm liking. I'm a little late on this one, this is my last pick from the May/June PIFM challenge.

You're almost to my favorite part of the book. Chapters 41-44. Just magical!

I finished The Shadow Cipher (York, #1) by Laura Ruby and I really liked this one! Gave it 4.5 stars!

Next I think I'm reading The Names They Gave Us by Emery Lord


message 2825: by Catherine (new)

Catherine Bruno | 771 comments Finished Sabriel and New World Rising. One was better then the other, but I'll let you guess which one :). My cousin and I are doing a buddy read of Fairest by Levine, not particularly liking the writing. Still also reading Quiet Power.

I blame a recent thread on Reddit for making me curious about this series. At least I finally picked a book. Now here's hoping I like it.

I never got the chance to read it as a kid, (just looked eerie even back then) so I'm curious to see how it'll turn out.

Exactly, we have to inspire each other because no one is perfect :) You all inspire me in so many ways, not the least of which is to be a better writer!

Btw I finished Strange the Dreamer. Wow. Crazy. Glad there will be a sequel :) :) :) Need more STRANGE

Elora Mitchell | 449 comments I've been on a weird reading kick this summer, where I don't read any of my normal genres. But I've been having a lot of fun with it. :)

I just finished These Shallow Graves by Jennifer Donnelly which was a mystery and it was good--and a lot of fun.
And
Royal Bastards by Andrew Shvarts which has an amazing MC who breaks a whole bunch of YA tropes. I loved it.
