I'll keep you informed on when I'm gonna start reading Lola and the Boy Next Door, I've been meaning to read Pride and Prejudice. However, I'm a little intimidated by the fact that it's a classic and I mostly stick to 2000s romance books. :/

I am not sure the last time I posted what I was reading - still listening to The Demon King (Seven Realms, #1) by Cinda Williams Chima and enjoying it so far and just started Flesh and Bone (Benny Imura, #3) by Jonathan Maberry . I am also listening to a non YA book Stories I Only Tell My Friends by Rob Lowe and am enjoying that as well.

I'll pick my copy up soon and then start by next weekend (probably). I'm currently reading The Merchant of Death (Pendragon, #1) by D.J. MacHale and it hasn't really grabbed my attention yet.

Oh, *headsmack* Actually I was getting that confused with another book. :P I did actually read the first book in that series. I thought it was okay, but I never got around to reading the other ones. Maybe I still will ... although it's been like a few years since I read the first one.

Oh okay :p I think the second book in the series is definitely the best one, so it gets better! It's one of my favourite series so I really recommend it. :)

Heidi, it's funny that we started reading Quiet at the same time. ;D I don't usually read non-fiction but my mom urged me to read it because ... well, I'm super introverted, haha. And I'm finding it very informative and I definitely relate to a lot of it.

Oooooo tell me your thoughts on Gone Girl when you are done. That book exhausted me.

I like it a lot so far. I am not really a non fiction reader either but right now I am reading Quiet and the Rob Lowe book and both are keeping me interested. Like I told you I didn't even realize I was introverted until I read something about that book a few months ago (I have been waiting for it forever from my library). I scored like 15 out of 20 on the scale and was like, "Oh so that is why I love to stay home so much and get crabby when people interrupt me while I'm working".

I really enjoyed Savvy and am reading it to my kids. I liked the brother-sister relationship between Fish and Mibs. Of course, I tend to like junior fiction more than YA, but it's nice that this group still lets me stay. :)
