Currently reading Passing Strange, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, The Penultimate Peris, The Taste of Night, and Inner Circle. I'm trying to read as much for fun as possible right now because I have to start summer reading soon and I don't know how quickly I'll be able to get that done.

I love her too! Hey, have you read any of Nicky Pellegrino's work? I'm reading 'The Italian Wedding' right now (it's not really YA or Kidlit but still). It's as if Sarah Dessen grew up and moved to Italy. :)
I haven't actually. You say she's as good as/almost as good as Sarah Dessen? I'll have to look her up. :)
Almost as good! The romances aren't quite as stunning, however her characters are like Sarah's in the way that they are strong young women (though in Nicky's case young means early twenties) and the settings also play a huge part :)
They sound interesting, I'll definitely look into them at some point. I'm so excited, my dad ordered WHAT HAPPENED TO GOODBYE from B&N last night and it should be here by Friday. :)
Currently reading Her Fearful Symmetry by Audrey Niffenegger in large print because I lost my reading glasses. :(
Thankfully, I have my distance glasses which are the ones I need to be able to legally drive. (I should just get bi-focals, but all of my optometry people say "you're too young".)

That man is a genius! Like, really."
No joke :) Those books are magnificent.
I am almost done with The Dead-Tossed Waves, and about to start the final book of that trilogy, The Dark and Hollow Places

I'm really enjoying it and love the large printedness (the ":(" is for losing my glasses. my insurance won't cover a new pair and i can't afford a new pair out of pocket); chose it to discuss at my work's book club tonight. :) Can't wait to finish and review it.

Which is better? Time Travellers Wife or Fearful Symmetry?
Ive got both on my shelf...which should I read first?

I haven't read Her Fearful Symmetry, but I loved the Time Traveler's Wife. Her Fearful Symmetry looks quite interesting, although I don't think I've seen as positive reviews.
I haven't read Time Traveller's Wife yet, because when I first heard about it I really wasn't in the mood for something sad. It's been on my list for awhile, just haven't gotten around to it. I'm really enjoying the darkness & morbidity of Her Fearful Symmetry. It's probably a good thing this is my introduction to Niffenegger's non-graphic novel work.
I've heard about the Time Traveler's Wife. I hear about it a lot, but I don't know much about it. Is it any good?
Currently reading The Princess Bride and The Maze Runner. Wondering what to read after...any suggestions?
Just finished Shrouded Secrets. I'm now reading Matched. And I'm going to start The Accidental Hero to round out the month.
Just finished You by Charles Benoit; still working on Her Fearful Symmetry by Audrey Niffenegger.
Diana wrote: "I really want to read The Book Thief!!!!!!!!! I haven't read CoMC but I guess I will someday."I just finished that yesterday! It was amazing!
What's CoMC? When I see that abreviation my mind jumps to a HP reference. (Care of Magical Creatures). Hahah, I'm sure that I've asked this before but I can be slow at times. ;) lolz
Hahah, soo.....any idea? It's popped up many times before and I can't figure it out. Cause if it's a book I've read, I've never used that abbreviation before.
I'm reading Shadowland by Alyson Noel. The 3rd book in the Immortals Series. It's my third time trying to read this book. Only reading it because i want to finish the series and get caught up before Everlasting comes out in a few months
★ Jessica ★ wrote: "I am also wondering what CoMC is?"The Count of Monte Cristo. Only the most amazing book to ever be written. :)
Haahahha, thanks for clearing that up. :) YOu know....We tend to use abbreviations a lot for books and such, maybe we should have a topic devoted to those? Since while most everyone knows that HP is Harry Potter, obviously not everyone knew what CoMC was.
I am currently reading Pride and Prejudice, which is starting off a little slow for me, but it's beginning to get good.
Have you seen the movie? The movie was really good. I especially love Darcy, even in the book he is awesome.

Wasn't it your profile pic for the longest time?
