It gets exciting! water supply problem's getting worse, Drake's on the loose, and the flu is spreading... I'm on the part where Hunter died with these parasites coming off of him... gruesome! haha

Because I read a couple of those, also."Yep, I think that's what they're called in the US. They're on my list of go-to books when I need something lighthearted/requiring zero brain activity. Suze and Jess always make me chuckle :)
Hello everyone,New to the group. Right now I'm reading
But as an author exchange, once I'm done with House, I'm going to begin
Okay I finally finished
. It seemed to drag on and on and on....and on. While it was was good enough, it wasn't great for me. On a more positive note! I started
and I am flying right through it! It is really good so far!!! Melina Marchetta never fails to impress me.
I don't think I have ever read a book by Melina Marchetta so
would be my first. Do any of you have any recommendations (from her books)?

My two favs are Finnikin of the Rock and Jellicoe Road. Jellicoe takes almost 200 pages to understand what the heck is going on so I would not read that one first. To be honest I love them all!

I stopped reading these for years and now I'm sad that I'm almost done with the series!
HOLY
!!!!!! This book is so good and so addicting. I finally realize why you all said it was amazing. It is! I'm almost done and I started last night at like 12!
Yeah! Darn you, Seth! Now I want to read it but I don't want to pay $10 for the Kindle version.

Before I Fall but i think I have a change of plans, just now! after i read your comment Seth! hahaha
I don't normally like to read more than one book at a time BUT North of Beautiful is my appropriate book for in public reading. LoL! I didn't feel like being harrassed at work today for reading Night Pleasures.
Finished The Host last night. Oh, I was so happy DH was working graveyard because I was sobbing at the end.
I splurged and bought
for my Kindle (under $8 = yay!)because I really needed a Simone Elkeles fix. I love her books!

I need to try Simone Elkeles! I always put it on my immediate TBR list and it keeps getting bumped by other books.

I am still in the minority about Rules of Attraction (worst piece of stereotyping ever), but I did enjoy Leaving Paradise.

Haha! Yes, definitely stereotyping but I love me some romance cheese!
Sorry Bluemoon, Shannen, and Kourtni! But, just let me tell you, it's VERY worth it. Ummm. I know this is kinda cheating, but if you didn't want to buy it, I have the PDF/EPUB file if you would like me to send it to you so you don't have to spend money. Rolenda, it's very worth it! Such a great read!
And Amkra, it is a series book. The end is craziness, and I'm excited for the second one!
Reading Mockingjay (book 3 of Hunger Games) So far, the first one is def the best... Planning to pick up some older LJ Smith soon. (Nightworld stuff cos they're quick reads)
It IS a very keepable book! I'm actually thinking I might buy a copy for myself!Christina . . . I hate MockingJay. So passionately.
Really, Seth? Did you like the other 2? Book 1 was great IMO, book 2 good... no idea where Book 3 is going and I'm starting not to care...
I loved Catching Fire and the Hunger Games! MockingJay just did NOT do it for me. Shaneace, I love that book!

Mockingjay is totally different than the first two books and very depressing, but I ended up appreciating it after some reflection (it took me at least a week). I mean if you think about the horrible world they all live in I think it would be a cop out of Breaking Dawn proportions to end it with a happily ever after type ending.

Oh Seth! I would love a copy of the PDF/EPUB file! Please! :D
I didn't like Mockingjay as well as the first two books either. It was far too depressing for me. Through the first two books there was always a small shred of hope that something(not everything) was going to work out for the best. I get that it is a crappy horrible disgusting world they lived in and it wouldn't do to have a happily ever after, but come on, give us something! That's not to say I didn't fly through it and eat up every word, because I did! I just don't like closing a book feeling like I need an anti-depressant.
