"I'm in the middle of it on audio too, Heidi! :)"
Woot! I really like this series on audio.
Mod
I bought
yesterday in preparation of when I finish
. I'll probably get the audio at some point after it finally releases and will do a reread on that one too. We're doing a buddy read for Undivided in a week or so if anyone is interested. :)
Mod
I am currently reading London Calling by Edward Bloor for school and An Abundance of Katherines as a casual read. Does anyone have any reviews about these books?
Mod
I finished
and loved it. Can't wait to read the sequel. Now I'm reading
and loving it much more than the second book in the series. I loved The Raven Boys, but didn't like The Dream Thieves as much.

Heidi (Yup. Still here.) wrote: "What is the Archived about??"
Imagine a place where the dead rest on shelves like books.
Each body has a story to tell, a life seen in pictures that only Librarians can read. The dead are called Histories, and the vast realm in which they rest is the Archive.
Da first brought Mackenzie Bishop here four years ago, when she was twelve years old, frightened but determined to prove herself. Now Da is dead, and Mac has grown into what she once was, a ruthless Keeper, tasked with stopping often—violent Histories from waking up and getting out. Because of her job, she lies to the people she loves, and she knows fear for what it is: a useful tool for staying alive.
Being a Keeper isn’t just dangerous—it’s a constant reminder of those Mac has lost. Da’s death was hard enough, but now her little brother is gone too. Mac starts to wonder about the boundary between living and dying, sleeping and waking. In the Archive, the dead must never be disturbed. And yet, someone is deliberately altering Histories, erasing essential chapters. Unless Mac can piece together what remains, the Archive itself might crumble and fall.
In this haunting, richly imagined novel, Victoria Schwab reveals the thin lines between past and present, love and pain, trust and deceit, unbearable loss and hard-won redemption.

I am awful at summaries,but heard great things about the archived so here you go.

and super excited to see how this all ends in the last book!
currently reading... WAY too many!haven't touched
in nearly a month, need to get back to them.finished
and really liked it for the first in a series, will be picking up the sequel.currently reading
and love them all so far!
Mod
I'm really liking it so far, and the narration is lovely :)
Mod
yeah I'm definitely putting The Silkworm on hold at the library once this one's done, I like this guy :)
Mod
I like it. One problem is that I had to return it in the middle of reading it because it was due back at the library. (Someone had put a hold on it.) Then I had to wait a few weeks before I could get it back again. I'm thinking a solid three stars but I heard the next book is even better. Part of my problem is that there is a love triangle brewing and I just get annoyed with those. The king is a pretty nasty bad guy, so that's good.
Just finished
and it was outstanding. Loved it! Immediately started
- buddy reading it with some friends over at The BookTube Reading Buddies - it's the 3rd book in the Ketty Jay series and I'm not sure I can rave enough about these books. Such adventure, such fun!Also finished up
on audio - Karen and I are having a lively discussion over on my review of the book. I promptly started
on audio - this one is hard to describe because it has elements of so many other books. But ok so far.
Mod
Becky I despise love triangles!!
Mod
love triangles are SO overdone it makes me sick.I should be finishing up
today or tomorrow, which is great because Silkworm is waiting to be picked up from the library :)I'm about halfway through Maze Runner and it just feels like a supremely confusing book all around. Now that I'm reading it I can't see a reason for all the hype.
