I love Kay Hooper, but I couldn't get into Blood Sins. I was bored, and ended up putting it down. How far into it are you? Does it get better?

I'm reading The Lost Hero, and liking it so far!

I just finished it today. The ending was anticlimactic but the story as a whole got SOME questions answered. I was disappointed that you knew from the beginning who the bad guy was. I might suggest just skipping to the last two chapters before reading the next one. Just so you know what's happening! lol

I'm now going to start The Stupidest Angel: A Heartwarming Tale of Christmas Terror. I think it's a good start to the holidays.


message 454: by Elvia (new)

Elvia (elvb) Finished The Stupidest Angel: A Heartwarming Tale of Christmas Terror. Loved it!

Now it's a toss up between Succubus on Top and Blood Ties (Blood, #3)....can't decide.


message 455: by Michelle (new)

Michelle (shadowrose) Just finished The Sea of Monsters and I'm so glad I managed to borrow these books finally.

I'm just starting The Titan's Curse


message 456: by Jennifer (new)

Jennifer (jnhart) currently reading Your Coffin or Mine? (Dead End Dating, #3) by Kimberly Raye - it's ok. I've been reading it between some other books ( Uglies (Uglies, #1) by Scott Westerfeld The Van Alen Legacy (Blue Bloods, #4) by Melissa de la Cruz )

Joseph La (innovatedmind) | 3 comments I am currently reading: Boneshaker ... it's actually a really good book so far... the characters are engaging but you get a sense of darkness looming over the subject.

I *WAS* reading "The Drawing of Three" by Stephen King, his 2nd Dark Tower book. That took some getting used to but ultimately was a THRILL of a book!


message 458: by stormhawk (new)

stormhawk | 1184 comments I read Boneshaker for the Sci Fi and Fantasy group read a couple of months ago. I wasn't entirely satisfied by the story.

I just finished book three of The Riyria Revelations, Nyphron Rising, and am starting on Book One of George RR Martins Song of Fire and Ice, A Game of Thrones, to get ready for the HBO Series.


message 459: by Michelle (new)

Michelle (shadowrose) Well I just finished The Titan's Curse which I loved so I'm moving on to the last of the Percy Jackson series, The Last Olympian.


message 460: by Elvia (new)

Elvia (elvb) I think I'll be starting Blood Ties (Blood, #3) tonight.

You should read the next series too, The Lost Hero (The Heroes of Olympus, #1) by Rick Riordan . I love it.
Now I'm halfway to the end of Last Sacrifice (Vampire Academy, #6) by Richelle Mead . So far it's the best book from the series :)

angela (ana-rose13) | 43 comments I am currently reading The Darkest Passion and i love it. the series is amazing and in two months i have gone through all four books that are currently out.


message 465: by Michelle (new)

Michelle (shadowrose) Well I finished The Last Olympian a few minutes ago. I really loved the series and I can't wait until I can my hands on The Lost Hero.

I just started Storm Front by Jim Butcher, so I'm finally getting to read a Dresdan novel and can't wait to see how it goes.

I've read Mockingjay. What do you think about it? What did you feel after reading the book?

message 475: by [deleted user] (new)

I've just started reading The Magicians Assistant by Ann Patchett. It's a bit slow at the moment but i'm hoping the story will pick up as i carry on reading.

Joseph La (innovatedmind) | 3 comments Currently reading:

Boneshaker (it's surprisingly a really good steampunk book and it's the first book of a new series)

and

The City of Ember (it's pretty good... it's kind of slow right now... granted i'm only halfway through but I do get a sense of good build up into something that might be HUGE at the end.... I like it enough to keep reading...)


message 480: by Christina (new)

Christina | 2 comments I ususally have multiple books going at once and right now I am reading:

The South Beach Diet book because I want to start it again on the first.

"Willow" by Julia Hoban. It is about a teenage girl who was responsible for the accident that killed her parents and how she reacts to it and deals with it. I am only a couple of chapters in but so far it is really good.

"Colonel Roosevelt" by Edmund Morris. I love history and this book has a lot of good information. It is a large book so I will be reading it for a while.


message 481: by Richie4 (new)

message 484: by stormhawk (new)

stormhawk | 1184 comments Finally, finally finished A Clash of Kings.

This will probably end up being my last book of 2010, although The Angel of 1776 is pretty short and I could finish it before I head out to the party tonight.

Happy New Year, everyone!

Teena Bridge  | 1 comments HI All

I just got a Kindle for Christmas and am loving it. I just finished Kissing Frogs in Cyberspace...so funny and great read. I'm starting Room next. Anyone read those yet? Room was kind of pricey but ...what are you going to do...

sonya marie madden  | 441 comments I'm reading War and Peace on my ereader.


message 487: by Ive (new)

Ive Genciagan (ivedelafuente) I'm currently reading Kazuo Ishiguro's Never Let Me Go and Ernest Hemingway's For Whom the Bell Tolls. I find Ishiguro's book hard to read, but somehow similar to Haruki Murakami's style. As for Hemingway, still a treasured classic.

Oh definitely not, :) I like to read like that all the time, and having different genres going at the same time lessens the confusion and gives variety.

I thought East of Eden was AMAZING! Glad you're enjoying it!

Jill | 1 comments Hi, just joined a minute ago. I am currently reading, 'My Name is Mary Sutter' by Robin Oliveira. I'm on page 80 and seriously thinking about quitting. I'm finding it VERY slow. Has anyone read this? Should I stick with it or get out while I can?

Michael Bray (mikebray) | 6 comments The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society was my favorite read last year. Try "These Is My Words" and "The Help" next. Enjoy.

I read Watership Down quite a few years ago and loved it. I had forgotten about it until I saw your post. I believe I read it around the same time I read James Herriott's veterinarian books, including All Things Great and Small. Another great read, along with others in a series by him.

I'm reading Shiver and Paranormalcy. I've actually started listening to paranormalcy on audio book right before bed, and it helps me fall asleep!

So far, I think that both are good. I'm a little disappointed that I have to wait for the next book in the paranormalcy series though...
