Currently reading Water for Elephants and And the Mountains Echoed. Both are shaping up to be fantastic so far.

I did this a couple of years ago. I read the book, then watched the movie. Then read the next book and then watched the next movie. I did one book/movie a week. It was AWESOME!!!

Thanks for waking us up, Heidi! I was wondering if Goodreads had stopped sending me emails or something! I finished the Inkheart series -
While the first book was by far the best, I also quite enjoyed the 3rd book, probably because this past week, I've really needed good, well-written escapism. Nairobi has been a pretty intense place recently (the Westgate terrorist attack is about 10 minutes drive from where I live, and we knew people who were killed in the shooting, so just a BIT close to home!)

That was wild Vered! I'm so sorry for the losses you had from that. I've been reading stories of the survivors. The little brave 4 year old that told off the terrorist!

That sounds like a good plan - I may do that when I have surgery and am stuck at home

Oh my gosh, be safe Vered! That's incredibly scary, I can't even imagine...
I'm glad you enjoyed the Inkheart series, can't wait to try it!

I was not as in love with Daughter of Smoke & Bone as I thought I would be - I did like the first half a lot more than the second.

I will probably be reading Will Grayson before the end of the year, so I'll let you know my opinion, too, David!Karen--are you at the edge of your seat with The Eternity Cure?
Finished
and LOVED it, gave it 5 stars! I'm really looking forward to reading The Chaos Walking trilogy now. Everyone kept saying this book didn't even come close to that series, so I know I am missing out!Started reading
and loving it so far!
I am so excited to read More Than This! I bought the audiobook of it but it hasn't been released yet! I may cheat and get the print copy. As David knows, I loved Will Grayson - mostly because of Tiny (who is my hero). I highly recommend he audiobook of it because I think it makes it even better. I am not bothered by swearing most of the time so didn't even remember it until David mentioned it!
I'm very curious to hear what you think about More Than This, Heidi. I had very high expectations so it didn't reach those, but it was still a really enjoyable read :)
