[Michelle]

8. Once Upon A Star
9.

currently reading: Under the Boardwalk

[Michelle]

Ok, how do people do this with full time jobs? Maybe I just work too much... or spend too much time on facebook.

10.Under the Boardwalk
11.Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
12.Palace Circle: A Novel

[Michelle]

I was doing good, but I have slowed down. I think it is because this one book I can not get through. So I have put it aside and maybe I will try it later.

13.Forever in Blue: The Fourth Summer of the Sisterhood
14. The Queen's Fool
15. Chicks with Sticks (It's a Purl Thing) - Book 1 (OK, I really liked this book even though it is written for teenagers)

Currently reading: Magyk

Hi Michelle: I read the first book in this series, but didn't ever do the others. Were they worthwhile? What did you think of them?

[Michelle]

I love them. Physik was a little more strange, but I like the ending. I loved Flyte. They all tie nicely together and I like how she does not leave loose ends, you always know what happened/happens to everyone. They are easy reads and make me think they are the love child of Lord of the rings and Harry Potter.
I have the other two in the series, but I am putting them on hold until I actually have time to read that large of a book. Although I don't know how long that will last because I am excited to see what happens!

[Cindi]

Thanks for the info. I'll have to get back to the series! (Like the "love-child" analogy!)
