Huh, I haven't heard of Pivot Point until now ... but I see a lot of my favorite Goodreads reviewers have enjoyed it, so it looks promising. :)
So, I finished:
It was ... ehh. Kind of slow, in my opinion. And the main character annoyed me. But I've heard the sequel is much better, so I might still give it a try.
Now I'm about halfway through:
Good so far! Very sad, but good. :)

It was a good read, but I think I prefer her
Series. I listened to the audiobook and that made me like it a lot.

Jenny I am going to start the audio of Also Known As
on audio today. It is narrated by the author which I am often leery about - hope she is a good narrator!

I see one of my favorite series first book is one of the monthly Kindle seals for $3.99 Sloppy Firsts

Let me know how that goes, Heidi!



Loved Into the Still Blue! Really good ending to an amazing trilogy! I love it when the books get better and better with each one, and that was the case in this trilogy!

I haven't had a chance to read except in bits and pieces the last few days. I finally read for longer than 10 minutes LATE LATE LATE last night and did NOT want to put this down to sleep.

I really like it! Thanks so much for the rec. I know I am choosy but when I love something I tell everyone (multiple times -hahahaha) The author is actually doing a good job as a narrator too btw.

KAREN: I read the first book and wasn't that impressed with it. Are the other two better than the first?

I have not read GG but is like a snarkier/sweeter Heist Society book so far.

Finished:
It was ... okay. Not that great, IMO. But it had cool illustrations at least.
Started:
So far it's nothing like I expected it to be. It's pretty confusing but I think it will get better as it pieces together more. So yeah, I like what I've read of it!

Finished:
It was pretty good. Probably a 3.5-4 stars ... I think I need to "digest" it a little.
For the next few days I'll probably be focusing more on books for school, but I also plan to start soon:

Early thoughts on Far Far Away is that it's got my attention! I really like the narrator! It's got a bit of The Book Thief feel with the German. I just found out why Jacob is with the kid and who Jacob is. I think that's why I'm getting invested in the characters.

I really liked it but I will warn you that it kind of dragged in the middle. The ending made up for it though :) Overall I thought it was unique.
