oops, just checked with my son - he wasn't too thrilled with Gregor, and the Emerald Atlas was 'ok' in his oh so humble opinion.
Does he like Harry Potterish stuff? Maybe Charlie Bone? If he likes a main boy character with attitude, he might like

are great reads, I LOVED them! I recommend them all the time to middle grade kids!"I love them, too! I can't wait for the third book.
Hmmm, I haven't posted what I'm reading lately on here. I just finished On the Jellicoe Road and am just about done with Eden. I recently started Fablehaven. I put Inkheart and The Merchant of Death on hold for now. Just didn't really get into them that much. Oh, I also am reading The Blue Castle due to Heidi's recommendation.
Ooooo Becky I hope you like Blue Castle! I loved it back in the day but it seems to hold up because some of my other GR friends liked it.
Still reading Savvy because I forgot I put it in my backpack until I found it this afternoon.Also reading a Manga series Tokyo Mew Mew, Vol. 04 On #4.
Manga seems to have picked up my want to read more 'real books' instead of graphic books because instead of reading heart wrenching things at bed (re: gone girl) i read light hearted manga and then have energy to read during the day.
I am off to go finish Savvy before I head to bed. Or at least attempt. Then we shall see where I go from there :) I want to get rid of some books before I have to move. So probably will read some I know I won't keep unless I absolutely adore them.
My son is actually enjoying me reading Savvy to him and his sisters at bedtime. He has asked to borrow it so he can just finish it himself. (I have refused. Gotta keep him in suspense.)The Blue Castle is great so far. Not as wonderful as Pride & Prejudice, but the banter (with family) and fun in it is comparable for me.
Emma I have had the audio for Name of the Wind on hold at my library for weeks. I am about to just get it from Audible. Someone told me it was better than Game of Thrones.
I haven't read all of Game of Thrones yet. I have left it for a bit. I am really enjoying Name of the Wind. It is very intriguing and well written.
:3 Savvy was SO CUTE. eeeeek.can't.even.
Also I am so excited to read today. Normally I just want to sit on the computer but today I am excited to read :3

If you're looking for a decent read with danger, adventure and a little romance, you might enjoy this. Here is the link for my review of Poison: http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

only 50pages in, but it is really good so far."I really enjoyed this series! The author takes forever to put out the next book though!
Emma wrote: "ye i heard that, is the third one out? still only about 100pages into first so got a while to go."Haha, NO, it comes out next year!

Forgot to add that the audiobooks are ridiculously good. Worth checking out.

Sounds like The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian! Let me know if it is good.

I felt like I haven't read a touchy-feely book since Fault in Our Stars so I decided I'd try it. It's really good so far and I've managed not to collapse into a sobbing mess.

Divergent is amazing. If I were you I would read the ones that are coming out on film soon first then the rest.
i rarely see movies in theatres because of my sensory issues. So until they come out on DVD or on netflix etc. it is unlikely i would see them anyways.

I normally just go to the own that takes my fancy first, if I keep looking, I end up restless when I finally decide because I really want to read another one at the same time.

I just want to read all of them. RIGHT NOW. I think I might use it as an incentive to read books i know i won't keep after i read them like YOU CAN'T READ this book UNTIL YOU READ 6 BOOKS AND PUT THEM IN YOUR TO GET RID OF BOX.
