Fever is not as epic as I thought it would be. But I am enjoying it!

I'm also reading The Emperor's Soul by Brandon Sanderson on audio.

I didn't know that there was a whole series at first. The Giver is one of my favorite books! I also really enjoyed Gathering Blue and can't wait to finish the series.

Thanks David! I just finished Caraval and am surprised I enjoyed it as much as I did. It was insane! Now I'm hoping to keep with this reading momentum and start something else :)

Its been so long since I"ve been on here! I've had the worst reading slump.

Anywho, I did finish a few books the last few weeks.

The Demigod Diaries by Rick Riordan 4 stars I really enjoyed this little collection of stories.

Once and for All by Sarah Dessen 4 stars, classic Sarah Dessen.

The Novice (Summoner, #1) by Taran Matharu 3 stars. Enjoyable enough characters and world, just a little boring at times and the writing wasn't the best. An okay read.

Next I think I'm reading The Magicians (The Magicians #1) by Lev Grossman

If it's half as good as what I've seen on TV, I know I'm going to love it. Sounds from your reaction like it is?

Yes. I think Pippi is my fave Astrid character. Its kind of fun my mom actually uses Pippi quotes in her curriculum books. (she writes social science books every now and then)

Glad to hear that about the Pippi books... I'm looking forward to when I get around to reading them even more now!

Cool about your Mom.

Rose (The_Calm_Reader) (roselittlebookowl75) | 1372 comments Sorry I haven't been on here in a long while. I've been in a complete slump and unable to finish reading a thing since finishing ACOMAF. I've also been struggling with some personal issues.

Happy to say, I finally found a series I'm interested in finishing! I'm reading Harry Potter and The Order of The Phoenix for the first time and have already read almost 100 pages today alone.


message 2926: by Catherine (new)

Catherine Bruno | 771 comments @Rose I'm sorry to hear that! I hope everything is ok. Harry Potter books are always good reads!

Harry Potter is always great to try when in a reading slump IMO. I should have tried that sooner LOL!

Well, I was liking The Magicians (The Magicians #1) by Lev Grossman but I only got to page 93 before I had to take it back to the library today :( I'll try it again another time I guess!

I THINK I'm going to try A Clockwork Heart (The Chronicle of Light and Shadow, #2) by Liesel Schwarz next. I loved the first one, so hopefully this one will be something that will grab me!

But I may change my mind :) Its really all over the place right now!

I am always jealous of those who get to discover any HP books for the first time - that was one of my favorites in the series the first time around (I changed my favorites
upon re-reads :)

Reading Nomad (Nomad, #1) by Matthew Mather . It's pretty good but not incredible. But I also just got The Silent Corner (Jane Hawk, #1) by Dean Koontz from the library :)

Sorry to hear that. Hope the personal issues aren't anything too dreadful and are resolved soon.

You can't go wrong with the Harry Potter books. I just finished a re-read of the entire series. I don't even remember how many times I've read them now.

Dean Koontz!!! I still need to read this one too. Enjoy!

Catherine Bruno | 771 comments I'm trying to finish my Goodreads challenge so that I can focus on reading Voyager (Outlander #3) since the new season is in September, so right now I'm reading The Watson's Go to Birmingham cause it's a quick read and then I think I'll re-read Maniac Magee.

I hear you! I'm just trying to catch up on my Goodreads challenge so I can start in on my reread of A Song of Ice and Fire (A Song of Ice and Fire, #1-5) by George R.R. Martin . Once this season ends on HBO, I'll start! It's going to put me way behind on my challenge.

I read the new Dean Koontz and really enjoyed it. He veered away from his normal supernatural, but I love his new protagonist.

Donna (donanicole) | 897 comments Well, I am in-between reads, trying to find something that grabs me. The Woodlands series The Woodlands (The Woodlands, #1) by Lauren Nicolle Taylor has a new one so am going to begin that series again, as I did with Odium Odium (The Dead Saga, #1) by Claire C. Riley


message 2942: by Nancy (new)

Nancy (paper_addict) Is Woodlands good? I own the eBook but have never made it a priority to read. I didn't realize it was a series either.

It is very good, has I think four out now. Try it, you'll like it. Odium is one of my all time favorites.

It's pretty good so far, I'm maybe halfway done. Not as good as some of my favorites of his, but still enjoyable :)

I agree. It's a nice diversion from his norm. She is like a female Jack Reacher to me. Super competent and finds a way to foil her enemies even when the odds are stacked against her. A fun read!
