I'm working on
and
. Since they are both due back by mid-December, I guess I better ignore my Christmas shopping and get reading. I'm hoping to get more free time after the holidays and check out some of these other books folks are reading.

which was a really fun read!Still reading
Stephanie Perkins story is my fave so far! Almost done, only 3 stories left. These are so cute for the holidays, I really recommend this read!Started reading
and
I finished reading
and really loved it! 6 stories were 5 stars, 4 were 4 stars, and 4 were 3 stars. The ones by Kelly Link and David Levithan I just didn't connect with. But overall, this was a fun anthology!Also finished
and I LOVED this story! Its described as a cross between Dr. Who and Sherlock Holmes, and I think that's a good description! It has a nice blend of kooky adventure with chilling mystery, and AMAZING characters! And lots of fun LOL moments too! Its one of my fave this year!Next going to start

I think I expected it to be really scary like The Monstrumologist (since they have a pretty similar premise) so I kept comparing them. But I did like Jackaby (the character); he really reminded me of the BBC version of Sherlock. :D

I thought the second book was just as good as the first :)

I thought the second book was better,but that could have been just me.

I finished
and it was just okay for me. Wasn't thrilled with the ending.Also finished
and I loved this one!Also finished
and another one that was kinda meh.Also read
and I did like this one. This is kind of a cross between Fault in Our Stars and Elenor & Park. It wasn't as good, but I still enjoyed the read!Now reading
and
both good so far!

I got a signed copy of Let's Get Lost (and met the author) at BEA this past summer, but unfortunately I found it disappointing. I'm not a big fan of the whole "Manic Pixie Dream Girl" type of plot. :P But hopefully you like that one more than I did! I'm interested to hear your thoughts on it.
Mod
I think DoS&B is better, so if you didn't like that, I wouldn't recommend this one. I just love Laini Taylor's writing! The last book in that series was EPIC!

I`m reading
too, am really liking it. But yes,not everyone can like every book.

I finally gave up on my two reads
and
cause they were due back. I never really got attached to Rebel Belle's characters and for The Blood of Olympus, I think I'm better off reading the series straight through. There's just too much stuff that I've forgotten.I did pick up
and am enjoying it. It's similar to The False Prince which I loved. And I hear the next two Queen Thief books are even better.
Mod
currently reading~
and loving it. added the other two books in the series to my Amazon cart :)
I started this one last month and couldn't get into it for the life of me before it was due back to the library. Restarted it last night as part of a buddy read and I really like it so far.
started last night as part of another buddy read and I'm waiting for things to really get going, I'm probably only 5% in though. It's nice to be back in Lumatere, since I last read Finnikin over the summer.
