I'm still reading the fifth Wheel of Time. Only just over 100 pages left, so I'm hoping to finish it by Thursday. Then I'll take the 6th one on my trip. :)

Nice, I'm going to try and start and finish The Dragon Hunter and the Mage. The last time I started I only got about five pages in before I got really busy.
Thanks.:) What did you end up doing about The Raven King?
I canceled my order and got it on kindle. I read it the other day. Still annoys me.
Not the same, but I had a really frustrating situation with the library the other day.
I've had some frustrating library experiences as well.
I put Clockwork Prince on hold, as I currently am borrowing Clockwork Angel. There were 2 copies at the branch closest to mine. So I put it on hold. You'd think it'd be there by the next day. But, next day I go there. It isn't there. I checked my account and saw they had decided to ship it from a partner branch three hours away, and it hadn't even left yet. I just canceled the hold.
I hate it when that happens! I've had similar things happen with my libraries. It's annoying. :(
Like, the pickup location is 20 minutes away, it should be a simple delivery.
I know! I had one on hold for the library closest to my house once and they would never get it. Then I cancelled that one and put it on hold at the library by where I work. It was there the same day.
I'm currently reading
which I am enjoying and
which is kind of disappointing.
I've had a lot of anxiety issues and headaches, so I haven't been able to finish the Wheel of Time book I'm on. Looks like I'll finish it when I get back in town and then start the next one. Not entirely sure what I'll take for the flight.
I'm currently reading The Lovely Bones.
OK so I just started The Guardian by Nicholas Sparks. I wasn't exactly thrilled with this late night choice seeing as I despise anything with a twinge of romance. However, the first chapter has me enthralled. So here's to dipping my feet in a new and usually despised genre.
Hope you like it and it isn't too bad.

I finished
yesterday and started
, which looks like it will be a quick read so I'm hoping to finish in the morning.
I tend to read a lot of books at once. I need to be better at finishing books once I start them.Books I am currently reading that I have started in the past two weeks or so:
started for an April Challenge. Beautiful, but weird. I keep meaning to go back to it, but other things sound better to read.
Read on my kindle while waiting for an event to start. Over halfway through. Intriguing premise. I just don't like to read books from my kindle as much and library books have priority.
beginning is lame and I can't decide if I want to read book first or rewatch movie.
started on friday. something about it is... boring? And just reading something else sounded better
so the actual premis is not what I thought the premise would be and things were starting to get tense and uncomfortable so I took a break.Starting
today, but I really need to finish some of these half started books.
@Kylara: lol. I'm the exact same! :D
Quite good. I'm taking it slow though so I'm only at 30%.
I'm planning to take most of the month reading this one.

I'm also slowly reading this series.Books I've kind of back-burnered:
After wanting to read it for so long it wasn't as good as I was hoping. :(
Sounds really good but is more on the 'Meh' side. :/
Sorry your books aren't interesting.:(Kylara: Glittering Court is a group book of the month, so if you discuss it on the thread, you can get extra points in the May challenge.
I'm luckily 48% done with my book.:) I can't wait to finish this one. It's not a badly written book, but it's just not for me.

I might just submit them for points this month. That's the really nice thing about the page count is that you can submit unfinished books for pages. ^-^
Hopefully your next book is a lot better then Jackie! :D

for a book club and
for a buddy read.

Hope you're enjoying them!I'm not finished with my Wheel of Time book yet, so hopefully I'll get through that soon. I finished a book while I was on vacation and have a few new ones to read. :)
Finally finished The Fires of Heaven! Really enjoyed it. The end was exciting and didn't have much Egwene or Elayne, which I appreciated. Excited to move into book six.
Nice job. Also, do you want to read the truth about forever. I have my copy and am about to start chapter 2.
Yes! I'm about halfway, so we could start a thread and discuss it. :)
Started Lord of Chaos, the sixth Wheel of Time book today. About 100 pages in and enjoying it so far. Still working on Out of the Easy and The Truth About Forever. Will be starting Red Rising soon and maybe reading some short stories as well.
Okay I was reading
and I can not get into it. The author is British and she uses Britain slang. A lot of it from my guessing and with that it is a little hard for me to read. I'm always having to stop and look something up.I put that aside for right now and started on the July challenge today with
. So far it's amazing.
Jamie wrote: "Okay I was reading and I can not get into it. The author is British and she uses Britain slang. A lot of it from my guessing and with that it is a little hard ..."It's always difficult when a book uses language/slang/pop culture references that you don't understand.
I've had some issues with the mythology and pop culture references for this series
but I've managed to push through them. :)

With a busy weekend coming up due to the 4th of July I will probably pick this up again next Tuesday.

I started reading This Savage Song.:) What is everyone else reading?
Jackie wrote: "I started reading This Savage Song.:) What is everyone else reading?"Just finished Shadowspell and I'm going to start Sirensong. :)
How was it? Hope you enjoy Sirensong.
Jackie wrote: "How was it? Hope you enjoy Sirensong."Really good. There was a crazy twist in it. :D
I like when books have twists you don't expect coming.:)
Jackie wrote: "I like when books have twists you don't expect coming.:)"This one was a big one. Especially for a YA book. O.o
It's a trilogy although it has two novellas as well. ^_^
Cool.:)Are you trying to use it for the trilogy category?
Jackie wrote: "Cool.:)Are you trying to use it for the trilogy category?"As of right now no. But I might end up using it if I don't finish any of my other trilogies. I'm hoping to read at least about 3 trilogies this month. :)
