That's the better way to read them - because after Dwellers, you are going to love Country series! And how they all inter-connect.

Nope, we haven't started yet David, starting on Monday I think!I finished
and it was good, but not great. Also finished
which was really good, I loved it!Now reading
and its good so far! Tomorrow I'm starting
for a buddy read.

! So not sure if she's my thing or not. It may be that this book isn't up to her usual standards, I've heard other Dessen fans say that they didn't like The Moon and More as much as her others.

Ok thanks. I think Along for the Ride was the one I tried and wasn't into. I was just wondering if it was the particular book or the actual author that wasn't for me - I think it is the author. Not my style - but a lot of others love her.

Woot, woot! I voted!Harold, I completely forgot about the writing up the descriptions for Kira and Celaena. Do you still need me to do that? I can do it this weekend if so!
Finished
and I liked it, except for the dumb romance it had in the middle of it that made no sense to me at all! Reading
and its by far the creepiest of the series yet!Also hoping to start
soon!

Yeah, it's been on my shelf for a while so thought I'd pick it up, it's good but nothing special! :/

That would be nice, thank you. :)

I hope so David. I love mysteries and YA books and this seems like a little of both.

Heidi! I don't think a book has EVER exhausted me like Gone Girl and I am only like 1/3rd done and I am like WTF THIS BOOK.I'm going to try to take a Gone Girl break and shove in Shivver and Savvy and then go back but I read like 1/3rd of it and then now i just stare at that book and feel like it stares back. I need a break but I am loving it its just exhausting.

Hahahaha - I know the feeling too well! I refuse to read anymore books by that author because it wore me out. I am glad I read it though - it is like a bad relationship or something you know it is bad for you but you keep going back for more!

I know myself too well to know I won't read anything else by her. It is so amazing I don't even know how she packs THAT MUCH into the book but its like POW BAM and you are like GOD DID I JUST SPEND 3 DAYS IN A DESERT CRAWLING AROUND *takes nap*Savvy is delightfully refreshing (as I just quickly read the first chapter between doing my other adult duties. haha )
I feel like I haven't checked this group in forever! Anyway, I am reading:
I'm not too far into either one yet. I like Game of Thrones so far. But Sisterland is pretty dull, and from what I heard it doesn't get much better ... Hmm.

I decided to try more comic books since I loved what I read of the Bone series and I'm really loving not only the story but the beautiful illustrations in
After that it's
in honor of the movie that is debuting!

which is RANDOMLY the 3rd book in a row with dual POVs which I'm not really in the mood for right now. But a netgalley glitch has thrown me off and I'm waiting for them to email me back.

bwahahaha! You are so giving me flashbacks! I powered through the last 1/4 of that book just to get the monkey off my back!

I liked GOT but after all the things I have heard about favorite characters randomly being killed off in the series I can not get myself to invest the energy in the next book!

Where is Lloyd lately? He is our resident comic reader. I have never really given the current comics a try - my hubby got the Watchmen from a co-worker but I have yet to check it out.

Yes, I did like Fault in Our Stars better than Looking for Alaska, but it was really good for a first book!

..."I think you should try them out. I just finished Mercury, it only took me 2 hours at the max. If you're looking for a quick, easy, read you should definitely pick up a comic book! Plus most of the time the artwork is absolutely gorgeous :)

Uh oh ... haha. XD Well I already ordered the second book from eBay (and noticed it's more than 1000 pages, yikes). But I'm hoping to make it through the whole series.
