[Jenny]

I LOVE the Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel series! I need to reread it soon, so I can read the final book!

I finished and it was a great end to a great series. I also found out there is going to be a spin off series set in the same world! YAY!

Also finished and it was such a cute book, I loved it!

Exactly! That's the problem I think I'm having lately :(

[Becky]

Wow, I went away for a weekend and this thread had a ton of new comments on it. Well, I didn't get any reading done this weekend but I'm super excited to hear that Jenny loved . I'm just waiting for my library to get it in.

And I'll be stopping at the library later to pick up for the buddy read.

[Kara]

I am in the middle of Jurassic Park I took a break to read The 5th Wave
I love the movie so much I figured I had to read the book, It's got a lot more info and certain situations make a whole lot more sense then they do in the film version.

[Heidi]

Jenny and Becky I was going to try Septimus Heap but worried it was too middle grade. Seems like you both like it so I would assume you recommend it?? Have either of you listened to it on audiobook??

I always forget that Jurassic Park was a book! Sounds like an interesting one. I just finished 5th Wave and give it 3ish stars - not bad not great. How are you liking it??

Yay for new buddy read - even though you will be done way before me Becky! It gets me motivated to start a new book :)

I haven't Heidi. It is definitely a MG series, but I really enjoyed it. Its very well written, and make me think a lot of Harry Potter. Not as good, of course, but the author ties things together really well like JK Rowling. Great characters, and a great little magical world. The kids are also all smarter than the adults which is hilarious! Some great funny moments throughout.

[Heidi]

Thanks Jenny! I think I will try it on audio - the sample sounds good and I know my library has the audiobook :)

[Becky]

Heidi (1%er) wrote: "Thanks Jenny! I think I will try it on audio - the sample sounds good and I know my library has the audiobook :)"

I did not listen to it on audio. The first book is a bit slow and predictable but I really bought into the series after the second book. It's somewhat like Harry Potter in that the books get a little darker and more complex the further into the series you go. Not quite as dark as HP and as Jenny said, not as good, but still a fun series in my opinion.

[Heidi]

I listened to the sample of Magyk on audio and liked the narrator so I am going to try it. I will keep your comments in mind ladies :) Thanks!

[Lloyd]

I've been reading The Walking Dead for a long time now (the past month or so) and am just working on finishing up volume 16. I'm about ready to take a break. Problem is...I still haven't been gripped by the calling for reading a novel. I WANT to, but I'm still kinda burned out and don't know what I would like. I'm tired of series. I'm tired of the same ol' or variations thereof. Need something different and GOOD!

Sigh.

[Heidi]

Lloyd! I already went through your tbr pile awhile back and gave you recs but alas you did not go for any of my picks. I am telling you to run any prospective future reads by me first! I will not steer you wrong. I swear I won't! I want to renew your faith in YA lit! It is my calling! hahahaha

[Lloyd]

My problem isn't YA fiction. Just books in general. Maybe if I stay away for awhile, I'll eventually get back into it. Meanwhile, I decided on my literary comfort food...Stephen King. Started one of his I haven't read yet. We'll see if I can stick with it.

Cassi I have put off reading that one - let me know what you think of it please!

[Heidi]

I am listening to Inkheart on audiobook for our buddy read - other than that I am reading/listening to non Ya books. I should be done with my hubby's beloved Suttree on audiobook this week (it is 18 hours long *sigh*) so I can free up more time for less serious books!

Ooh, I'll probably be starting that in ... a week, I think. I'm going to bring it on vacation with me. :D

[Caedy]

Kaylani wrote: "Can someone give me my sleep back so I can have the brain capacity to read again? :("

Wish I could! I'm currently not reading anything YA related (travesty I know!).

[Jenny]

I finished reading and I agree with both David and Jen, if that's possible! I liked it and gave it 4 stars, but I get David's point about something missing. I think it was because it was such a narrow narrative. I want to read the rest of the series, though.

Also finished and it disappointed me a little. I gave it 3 stars. The concept and mystery of it was cool, but I just didn't like the style of writing.

Finished and I loved this one, a great fun contemporary, although not realistic.

Read and this one really disappointed me. It was a terrible ending book of the trilogy. If you have not read the Eve trilogy, I definitely don't recommend it based solely on this book. I gave it 3 stars and that was being generous.

Also finished and I enjoyed it, it was very creepy! I will be reading the rest of this series.

Then started my reread of and loving it so far!

Also going to read today and maybe I'll get to

I read more cozy mysteries than YA books so you are not alone!

[Heidi]

Jenny I am enjoying Inkheart so far. I plan to read Wool soon. I gave Life As We Knew it 3 stars - I liked it while I read it but forgot about it shortly afterwards which is never a good sign.

[Jenny]

The first book is really good, the second book is not quite as good, but the last book--major disappointment!

I just started on audio.

Also got carried away with , switching back and forth from audio to ebook with whispersync. I wanted to read with you guys, but being sick yesterday, I just kept going. Whoopsies! I guess you guys realize by now that I really like the Silo series. I'm going to reread next and then I think releases in a couple of weeks!

[Vered]

Just got home from Vancouver (my brother got married - a really cool Vietnamese traditional ceremony, as his wife is from Vietnam), so still a "little" jet lagged! But will start Inkheart tonight (assuming I stay awake long enough to open a book)

Oh yay! Another buddy reader! Glad you had a good time and are back safe and sound.

[Vered]

Yup - now I just have to figure out where to go for this buddy read...!!!

Well, I was coming in to grab a few but between Heidi and Karen they've gotten all of them that I am familiar with.

I could attempt some of the others but they would be pretty generic.

I think that's all Harold does, Wendy. :-) Once I get mine done, I'll start snatching some of the ones I don't know. I went into reviews when I did my others and just picked interesting descriptions I found.

And if you'd rather, I'm happy to trade mine. I just picked the ones I knew.
