What are you reading now?
I'm currently reading The Night CircusNot sure if it is technically YA but it really feels like one. It's my first fantasy book I've read in a while. I've noticed it on a lot of people's to read list. So far it's worth the read! I'm 1/4 done.
Up next on my list to read this week/next week: American Gods The Vintage Book of Contemporary World Poetry Broken for You
Mod
If you like The Night Circus have you looked into Freeks.
I really liked this one too.
I am currently reading Small Great ThingsI am really liking this book. I am about half way through and am interested to see how it ends up.
I have not read The Night Circus, but it is one of those that is on my to read list!
I am currently reading Modec by Ralph Helfer. A trues story about the greatest Elephant That Ever Lived. and How To Be A Good Wife by Emma Chapman. The very first sentence leads one to believe that Marta may have some issues. and A Better World by Marcus Sakey. It is the second book in his Brilliance series. I am looking forward to seeing how the gifted and ungifted progress and grow in this book. I thoroughly enjoyed the first book.

Just finished

Julia, the Night Circus is definitely worth the read. I just finished reading it for the second time and it still left an imprint on me. I hope you enjoy it! :)
I'm currently reading Something in the Air by Ben Starling. Not my typical type of read but so far it's very enjoyable. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series which is already out.

I've just finished The Curse of Chalion and was blown away by Lois McMaster Bujold's writing ability. Wow. I'm now into Vernor Vinge's A Fire Upon the Deep
Anyone out there reading Abbie Road's Fatal Truth series? The third book
which came out on April 4th is on sale for $1.25 right at this moment !!! Normally, $6.15. I LOVE this author! It's a dark series with paranormal. I won 
autographed! One of my most prized possessions.

You are like me you read many at once! cool
I always read a few books, though sometimes if book get caught me I faster read that book :)
I am reading "The Flood Girls" by Richard Fifield. So far it is just meh. Hoping it picks up!
this book is confusing, perplexing and disjointed but at the same time I can't stop reading, there is a mystery ( not sure what) backstory of the campers ( not sure if that matters) and current situations that are a little not of this world ( I think) but I am about 1/4 done and highly recommend this book ( bubble bath book)
just started this book as it is my car book ( Mom's taxi service) and read the prologue and 1st chapter, has my attention but screams ripped from the headlines 
another one I just started, this is my living room book LOLand
read along with the freshman to make sure she understands it

Aly wrote: "I have not read them but I could recommend Searching for Faith. It is a great book."this is my daughter's passion, she prays for the missing and has posters of the ones in our area, on my FB she reshares all the missing posters that are posted, she is gonna love this series.
Our passion for bringing the missing home is because this happened in my hometown
because no one reported her missing and no one was looking for her She is remarkable and my daughter has met her twice. She even told her don't be sad you didnt know about me, just pray for all the missing. She also told her when you are older ( she was 12 at the time) come see me and I will have you help with my foundation for the missing

I think this is a very noble thing to pray for. Your daughter sounds like a wonderful person!

I, myself, also love to have several books going just to keep things spicy! lol I think it is great that Stjepan and Teresa and I have this in common. Anyone else like to read several books at once?
I am reading Sleep Tight by Caroline Mitchell, the second Ruby Preston thriller, and loving it! Ruby and Nathan create so many sparks they are like lit fireworks. Can't wait to finish it but I'll also be said to leave them when I do!
Mod
I am also reading Sleep Tight. Ruby and Nathan are an interesting couple. I did not read the first one in the series but I think I am doing ok without it. So far, the book is interesting!
I've got a couple on the go at the mo,
it's a dystopian Young Adult really enjoying.
and also
This is a Dark beauty and the beast retelling not quite sure about this one yet.
Currently reading "Morning Noon and Night" by Sidney Sheldon and loving it so far. Earlier today i accomplished reading "Sharp Objects" & it was a good read.
I am reading "13 Reasons Why" by Jay Asher. So far, so good.
just finished
this book could of been cheesy with a ripped from headline storyline and spring break gone wrong.
this story is more complex with the friendship between two girls. it could be seen as an obsessive relationship or controlling. with the murder taking place on forgein land against american showcases a different judicial sy s tem
cant recommend this book enough
I am finishing up "The Two Family House" by Lynda Cohen Loigman and not sure which book on my shelf I will pick next.
I'm currently re-reading The Warlord Wants Forever by Kresely Cole, since I read the newest addition to the series and fancied going back to the beginning! I'm also reading The Bees by Laline Paull
currently reading Harold Robins Thrillers and There was an old woman by Hallie Ephron and The left brain Speaks The right brain Laughes.
I want to say what an incredible, generous son I have. Yesterday was my birthday and he asked me what I wanted. Books of course. I told him to check out my wish list on Amazon. I make it so easy for him! I pointed out a book for $2.99. He bought me 5 books! I just had to share what wonderful treasures I received.

Mod
Wow really cool! Happy belated birthday
I am reading
. Totally "meh." May have to put back on the shelf for a while.
Had to put
on the shelf for a while. Just couldn't get into it. Now I am reading
I'm reading a few different books at once, If I get bored with one I always have another to finish :)
Mod

What a wonderful thing to do together.
I just started reading Dumplin' and I can really relate to the main character but I'm struggling with the love triangle, I usually steer clear of books with those. Anyone else read it? What did you think?
Mod
I have not read this one yet.
