Abundance is the only book of his I have not read yet. My favorite by him is actually a split author book Will Grayson, Will Grayson
. Gah I loved that book. It is also one of my all time favorite audiobooks.

Also finished a reread of

Right now reading


And then I will finish Out of the Easy.
Then I will move on to Dorothy Must die, The Knife of Never Letting go (finish), Code Name Verity (finish), Divergent (finish), Gone Girl (finish)
And keep going from there :)
I skipped the Selection series Jenny. Something about the author making comments or something.
Good luck on all your finishes Kaylani!!

I am reading Fools Rush in
. I think this is her first official published book and can kind of tell but it is still enjoyable so far. I love Kristan Higgins :)

Jenny, I really like it! It took just a little while to get used to the way it is told, but then it really takes off! Funny!!! But very much a gripping story as well. I am hoping to finish it today.

:) Good to know!

I read that. I loved it too!

That is good to know about Looking for Alaska. I definitely want to read it now, as much as I am loving the other John Green books. Thanks, Jenny!

Thanks for letting me know :)

You're very welcome :)

Yay! Success! I bought it after I read it too. So happy when others also like my favorites.

I just finished...
This is starting to be such a good series. I'm not really sure now if I like it better than the Percy Jackson series. I think its a class of its own.

I will probably buy some of Marchetta's books once my kids are older. Don't want my 10-year-old randomly picking them up. I really enjoyed Jellico Road, too, though I usually don't like books that make me want to cry.
I hope you do Becky! She is one of my all time favorites. She actually wrote a really cute middle grade book called The Gorgon in the Gully
that one of my GR friends from Australia sent around for some of us to read when it was released years ago.

oooo...yes, it was our first around the world. It was really good. I think it was from the other group, right?
I finally, finally started this book. I want to finish this and the other two books before Winter comes out in November. Actually scratch that, I want to finish this book and Cress, not really sure if I want to read Fairest. O_O



OOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I'm actually really liking Scarlet more than Cinder! The Cinder character is also growing on me more than she did in her own book.
It is very interesting to me how many people either liked Cinder or Scarlet better. I think it comes down to the protagaist. It reminds me of the (Katsa) Graceling versus Fire debates. I was not a big fan of Scarlet myself because her personality is a little too abrupt for me but either way I LOVE the next book Cress the most (so far at least).
I'm only half way into it. Coincidentally enough, I really love Little Riding Hood re-tellings.
On of my favorite cartoon movie is Hoodwinked. ^_^

I think in many cases it was the case of which protag you liked more, but in my case I vote this order for protags 1.Cinder 2.Scarlett 3.Cress but for books, it's the opposite, 1.Cress 2. Scarlett 3.Cinder.
It makes no sense to me, but that's how it worked out haha.
Your orders are the exact same for me Tommy! I loved Cress the best as a book but Cinder is still my gal!

I'm kinda in a reading rut right now. Maybe when the kids go back to school.

I'm the same too :)
Sorry I've been so absent the past week or so! I've been on vacation with my family so I haven't had much time to get online. ;) But as for reading progress, I am almost done with:
It's okay. I liked the beginning and then I got kinda bored/annoyed with it after a while. But I'm still going to power through the last 30 pages I have left. :P
Today I read most of:
And I think it was just what I needed right now––something "fluffy" that I could read at the beach. :D A few minor things about it annoy me, but for the most part I think it's very cute and it has likable characters/dialogue.

Hope you had a great trip Brigid! I bought To All the Boys awhile back and still need to read it.
I just finished Scarlet and really enjoyed it more than Cinder. I just found the whole (view spoiler)

I'm the same too :)"
I'm shocked that I wasn't alone on those orders, let alone that I got two people to agree in just a few posts haha. #GreatMinds


I started


SO far I am loving it a lot. Have you read book two?
