What are you reading right now?



I loved both of her books--I loved Graceling, but I actually think I might have loved Fire even more.


Now I am about to start


Is it as good as Graceling? I have it on my to-read list, and should get around to reading it one of these days...


OMG! Very addictive series. Enjoy Tonya enjoy.

Good to know Laura. I haven't read Fire yet.



I have Witch Craft in my TBR pile. How do you like it so far?

I have You slay me in my tbr pile too. I finished A quick bite and liked it--something a little different from what I have been reading. I would classify it as more a chick-lit/pnr if i were describing it to a friend. I am getting ready to start


I suppose that begs the question... Does anyone think that they rated something more harshly than they might otherwise based on other books they were reading around the same time period? I'm curious now :)

I know I have rated books more harshly than they deserve based on how I felt about other books I just finished reading. I like to call that "the rebound book or books" you know, you just finish an awesome book or series and nothing else seems to compare... I am also sure that I am tougher on books I have heard a lot of hoopla about--maybe my expectations are too high when I read them and am disappointed.


I just started this tonight and have to say it was very hard to get into. I had no idea it was about a shifting dragon. I just finished reading about
shifting leopards so why not a dragon.
I'd love to know what you think.



I LOVE Rob Thurman's Cal Leandro series. I never thought the brother's relationship was creepy. There is so much action in the books, they are hard to put down. There's plenty of laughs and bits of romance. It's a cool world and I always grab the latest book and read it immediately. The books are great UF. Just my 2 cents!

I'm on page 194 and I finally feel like I am getting into it. I liked it at the beginning and I thought Cal, who is the narrator was funny, but I didn't really feel like the story had a plot. A lot of information but no plot. (Typical first book syndrome) Now I still don't know what the plot it, but I think the inciting incident(look at me using my 9th grade english class 20 years later!) just happened. And the action and story seems to have picked up and I'm finding a flow. I always have a slight problem with first person writing, but this one is particularly weird because it's a guy. All that being said, unless something awful happens like he wakes up and the whole book was a dream or something, I believe I'll continue reading, not just the book, but the series. It's a little different and I like different. It's a change of pace from what I've been reading and what I have on my GIANT TBR pile. Plus, I already checked them out from the library so I might as well!

Well, I'm picking it back up and have added it to my challenge list for the month, so we'll see how it goes. And their relationship never bothered me - it had a real Supernatural feel to it.

I'm currently reading:
1) Dracula: The Un-Dead by Dacre Stoker and Ian Holt (a continuation of the original Dracula story by Bram Stoker).
2) Vampire by Joules Taylor (reference)
3) Werewolves by Jon Izzard (reference)
4) The Mythical Creatures Bible by Brenda Rosen (reference)
p.s. I also just finished Bitten by Kelley Armstrong (Women of the Otherworld series) and am looking forward to the next book. Armstrong uses an interesting shift in character focus in this series which I am curious about.



That's what's off!! I didn't realize what I was missing until you said. I know it sounds sarcastic, but I'm being serious-- it's been one of those weeks and my brain couldn't figure out what I was wanting but missing, because there is nothing wrong with the story, I just was missing something. Thank you! (I'm an absolute airhead sometimes)


It did start out a bit slow but I enjoyed it. I was in the mood for something funny and after you got through the beginning, it was pretty funny. The main character is a bit ditsy and finds herself confused much of the time, but amusingly so I thought. I've also been reading a lot of vampire books recently, so it was a nice change.




How do you like Wake? It's one of my most favorite series. <3






I have Witch Craft in my TBR pile. How do you like it so far?"
I really enjoyed the book..even though I didnt read the previous Nocturne City novels. Really liked Luna as a character. Cant wait to read the next book in the series! Still so long till its released :(

Denell, you jumped into the series with Witch Craft? Interesting. =) I'd definitely recommend the earlier books in the series. I'm not exactly sure where Caitlin is taking Luna, and whether or not Dmitri will be back, but I'm looking forward to the next installment.







Im the same saninbham,
I think the last one i read was challenge a few months ago and I haven't got to reading the next one yet.

I think Chick Lit/PNR is a great way to classify these books.


Silvana, you are right very addictive. I am going to take a break as hard as that is and ready






I just picked up the first book of that sereis. I hear good things about this one as well. So many books, so little time.






I am reading Dead Girl Dance - Rachel Caine
nd i am going to read Evernight by Claudia Gray
