Umm I've read like two and a half books. That's nothing. :P

Uglies! <3 I miss those books. I should reread them.
Anyway, I am in the middle of ...
OHMYGOD IT'S SO GOOD. I'm going to explode.

I'm trying out some Tawny Taylor (who write erotica) just for kicks. I've read most but I don't know if any of you guys know something that's worth reading. I kind of did historical romances but I've had enough ball gowns for now.Any suggestions perhaps?
I'm reading Percy Jackson as well but help! I couldn't get past the Sea of Monsters book... and I watched the movie first!
Depends on what you like Hanie. I love everything by Melina Marchetta. I also loved The Help, which is an adult book. Do you want funny, chick lt, fantasy, paranormal???
Mmm something I never read before was erotica but I have read some Julie Ortolon contemporary romance... but she's the only contemporary romance writer that's real good. Do you have suggestions maybe? I'll be really grateful!
I have never read erotica, but since I joined Goodreads I have read many racy things I NEVER would have read before joining these groups like the Fever series
and the Black Dagger Brotherhood
. I still can't believe I read those sometimes. As far as romances I am not really a huge romance reader, but I really liked
(YA book)and
(adult book).

@EmilyYeah, I guess I just have an attatchment to it, since it was my first library card. It has by little two-year old printing on it and stickers from past summer reading events. I'm such a sap. xD

YES. He's so awesome. Do you not like him?
BRIGID EVERFOUND IS TOTALLY AWESOMESAUCEY.
Okay, so I FINALLY finished
. It was . . . interesting. I liked it. BUT I hatehatehated the beginning and hatehatehatehateHATED the ending, and it didn't really make sense to me. And now I'm reading
, even though I may or may not read
instead.
Seth I was wondering if the narrator was the reason I was not as "in love" with the book as everyone else. Now I am confused!
I JUST FINISHED READING EVERFOUND AND OH MY GOD IT WAS SO GOOD I'M GOING TO EXPLODE. Like, really. So. Good.

I'm in the middle of eating my Driver's Ed textbook. 88% complete. Wait...did I say eating? I wish I was eating it. Good riddance of such an annoyance but necessity. Often, it is the annoying things that end up being necessary....like Driver's Ed...in the summer. Jumping talking coyotes! I wish Driver's Ed will finish up all ready and be "gone." Enjoy my very indirect and hard to quickly understand pun! Gone...you know. The book...Ramble. Ramble. Ramble.
Anyway, I'm actually just started reading Bloody Jack and the Mazerunner. I think I'm liking Bloody Jack a lot more. The Mazerunner was pretty dull in the beginning. Since the main character barely knew who I was, in the beginning, I felt like I was just eating the cake box instead of the cake. Hungry.
Bloody Jack is interesting though. I should get to reading more of both books, but I don't quite have an abundance of time with all the stuff going on right now. :'
Is Driver's Ed required now? Driver's Ed was a fun class for us. We got in groups of three with the teacher and rode to get fast food. If we weren't in a driving group, we just hung out. I miss those days. lol

Heh...lucky. I have so much homework. Tests. And all that.

I couldn't even get to page 100 of Sabriel. I fell asleep every time.

Hanie wrote: "Wait, who wrote Bloody Jack? *peeks out of the rock she's living in* I haven't heard of it yet. :)"I did. I only started the first book though. I like it even though it can be mildly creepy at times.
I runs away now to eats me food.
:P
Seth wrote: "Never read Bloody Jack . . . it's oldentimesy, right?"Definitely old timey. I'm pretty sure it takes place during the Victorian Era.

No eating driver's ed manuals. They're bad for your digestion.
And I liked Bloody Jack ... I never got around to reading the rest of the books though. :/

Oh, thank you. Thank you very much. *raises eyebrow with hand for no apparent reason* I'm guessing you read my review...or not. Anyway, Everfound=amazing!!!
Heh...for some reason, I associate books with food. And driver's ed manuals are like brussel sprouts to me.
My brain is having a hard time dealing with the added "s" to the verbs and other weird accent things, but I like it even though. It doesn't have much dialogue, but Mary is a very interesting, innocent character.
Picture Bloody Jack is a series I will not read in print - only listen to on audio because the narrator does the cockney accent wonderfully.

Oh, that's what you meant by who wrote it. I thought you were asking who wrote that she/he was reading it. So I answered that I wrote it. Bahaha. I'm such a fool.
@SarahIf you ever DO find your original card again, your library will probably re-instate it. Most just charge a replacement fee to cover the cost of supplies, as well as to encourage people not to lose them, so there is usually no fee if you find a lost card. So there is hope, plus you would be able to use the library in the meantime.

I tried Sabriel on audio and didn't make it through the whole thing. And sometimes I have an easier time with audiobooks.
Speaking of Bloody Jack...I put the 3rd audiobook on hold about a month ago and it is STILL not available. I hate waiting.Right now I am reading and very much enjoying
Oh! Somehow I didn't get the e-mail telling me Bloody Jack was available, but it is and I downloaded it! WooHoo!

Ooh, I just read those. They were all right. I was just kind of pissed off about all the love triangle stuff ...
