Ohmygosh, I dropped A Storm of Swords (A Song of Ice and Fire, #3) by George R.R. Martin so many times. My little hands just couldn't hold it up. Only dropped it on my face once. Ha! Just finished it and now about to start A Feast for Crows (A Song of Ice and Fire, #4) by George R.R. Martin which is only 753 pages, about 200 pages less than ASOS. This one should be a piece of cake. ;-D

You're a braver person than me. I don't think I'll ever be able to go to sleep again if I read It.

Kara Skinner (Lover's Quarrel Reviews) | 9 comments I'm reading The Arranged Marriage along with a few others. It's a little difficult to keep them straight but I'm enjoying most of them.

I've heard its super scary, but its also one of the best books King ever wrote. The characters, the town, the setting--just amazing apparently. I got that sense a bit from the old movie (and the reason I loved that movie was the characters), so I'm really looking forward to this!

I finished Darken the Stars (Kricket, #3) by Amy A. Bartol 4.5 stars. It was a 5 star read until the end...wasn't a huge fan of the ending and would have liked a bit more closure. Maybe there will be a spin off series or something at some point.

I finished Tower of Dawn (Throne of Glass, #6) by Sarah J. Maas and an epically amazing 5 stars it gets! Really loved this new world, and the new characters. And the twists! HOLY COW! Must read for the series, lots and lots of info!

I'm reading It by Stephen King for the buddy read, and loving it!

Also going to be starting a reread of Entice (The Violet Eden Chapters, #2) by Jessica Shirvington and then its The Secret Hour (Midnighters, #1) by Scott Westerfeld

Catherine Bruno | 771 comments I'm about 40% done with All the Crooked Saints. I was kinda meh about it at first, but I'm starting to find the concept interesting. After this I'm going to finish Voyager and make my way through the impressive pile of Owlcrate books that I have accumulated.

Lauren Stoolfire | 2047 comments I'm reading Poodle Springs (Philip Marlowe, #8) by Raymond Chandler right now - doesn't the version of Philip Marlowe on the cover make you think of Channing Tatum? Totally does to me for some reason...

So I'm working on my Oct TBR at the moment, but also getting caught up on other reads.

On the TBR:
I finished a reread of Jackaby (Jackaby, #1) by William Ritter 5 stars, I just love these books!

I'm 38% of the way through It by Stephen King and I'm just loving it!

Next I'm reading Down Among the Sticks and Bones (Wayward Children, #2) by Seanan McGuire

Other books:
I started The Secret Hour (Midnighters, #1) by Scott Westerfeld and its intriguing so far. I think it will be a quick read.
