Right now I'm reading The Uglies but can't really decide if I want to finish.

*Innocent look* I have no idea what you're talking about....
Right now I am reading Girl, Stolen.... which is NOT the same thing as Stolen.

That's what people keep telling me. I read the first two like right before the huge hype started … back when I was like 8 or 9, and I wasn't really into them then. And then I just never got back to them for some reason. But I will … eventually.
Anyway, I'm still reading Ship Breaker. I'm about halfway through. A little confusing, but good. I have sooo many library books to get through, plus I'm doing NaNoWriMo and college apps! AAHHH!!!

Just finished the 3rd Bloody Jack book on audio Under the Jolly Roger and really enjoy this series. I highly recommend it.
I finished Mockingjay yesterday. :-/ Urrrgh. I would go on a long angry rant but it would take too much time. Suffice to say it didn't thrill me … XD
Now I'm on toooo …
YAY!!
Now I'm on toooo …

YAY!!
Finished ^^ ARGH WHAT KIND OF WAY IS THAT TO END A BOOK?! REALLY? Grrrr.
Anyway now I am reading this month's book …

I think Becca wrote a great and accurate review of Maze Runner if you wanna read it. I agree with her 100%
Heidi I wrote: "Well at least you don't have to wait for book 3 Brigid! Don't you love Lisbeth???"
True … although I requested it from the library and there were a lot of holds on it, so it might be a while. *sigh* Yesss I love Lisbeth. :) She's such a fascinating character. Whenever it switches to a story about another character I'm like "NOOO GET BACK TO LISBETH ALREADY!"

Ohhh I intend to read that. Although I agree, I wasn't crazy about Maze Runner … it was kinda confusing.

GRACELING! <3 Awww I know, Katsa and Po are adorable! I love them! :D
Oh yeahh. I'm tempted to read just the first 39 Clues book just because it's by Rick Riordan. :D Are they any good?

I have no idea what those 39 clues books are even about. I thought they were for little kids, so never even looked at one.

I liked it more than The Maze Runner, but not a ton more. There was never a point where I just couldn't put it down. Also once again just when I thought things were starting to make sense, when I thought I was FINALLY getting somewhere with the plot, it goes and changes. That part of this series has been very frustrating. Not in a OMG I can't believe that cliffhanger kind of way, but more in What the hell just happened? I don't understand any of this sort of way.
That being said, overall I'd give the book a 3.5 and i will be reading the final book of the trilogy. If you liked The Maze Runner you will probably like this book too, but I would never ever compare it books like The Hunger Games as other have.
Now I can finally move on to BDB #2 and On the Jellicoe Road. I'm really excited about both!!
Thanks for the info! *scratches head* I'm pretty sure I requested Scorch Trials from the library. I thought the end of the first book was really confusing … so this one will probably frustrate me, too. But oh well. I'm curious. :)

Hmmm, all right. I will. :) It appears I've requested it from the library, after all. Yaaay. Yeah … I thought Maze Runner was okay, but there was a lot of random plot twists thrown in at the end. And the only character I (sort of) liked was brutally killed. *sigh* So I don't have very high expectations. But I'll read it and tell you what I think!
Oh, and I'm like five pages away from the end of Finnikin of the Rock. It's very good … a little confusing, and I'm still kinda trying to absorb it all. But I liked it. :)
So now I will be moving on toooo …
Yay!

So many more books does everyone think they can get read before December 31st Midnight?
I started reading
I've only read a couple of chapters, but I have a feeling this isn't going to turn out well. :/ I mean, there's a horrendous typo on like the fifth page. What kind of sane editor could not notice that the author wrote "bxlew" instead of "blew"? And how could the author make such a typo in the first place? *headwall*
