by Helen SmithAll of them are pretty good but I really LOVE Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children. It's such an original story and the photos that are throughout the book are really cool/creepy (and unaltered).

I definitely loved The Lost Hero immediately and flew threw it and struggled with The Red Pyramid and The Throne of Fire (I also preferred the second book). While I struggled with the Kane Chronicles series, I'm still glad I finished. It's good and I think the reason I found it harder to get into is because I know less about Egyptian mythology than Greek and Roman mythology.
I'm currently reading:
I think I mentioned it earlier ... It's my summer reading. And it's non-fiction.
In the beginning it was pissing me off a bit, but now I find it more interesting. The author seems to think that teenagers want to have, like ... robot boyfriends. Which I'm pretty sure is not true. But, her ideas are thought-provoking at least.

I'm reading the ebook of Iron Knight by Julie Kagawa and the hard copy of Wolfsbane by Andrea Creamer :)

. After HoN, HP seems so innocent and clean despite the dark story tones.

Marked was one of the few books I gave one star to due to those ressons. This is the kind of book I didn't and wouldn't want my little sisters and brothers to read.

We are preparing our house to put it up for sale so I have been totally slacking on my reading. I'll give you an update on both later.

Charmaine; I'm only two chapters in, but it's engaging me. Like always for me, I don't like that's it's written in present-tense and Gemma kind of seems like a brat, but I'm not turned off the book! Just waiting to get a little further in. (:

and it's really good!"Nice! I've been wanting to read that one. :-)"
It was great! I rarely do 5 stars but that one got one from me, I'm a huge sucker for mythology though :) I'd definitely recommend it!
I finished reading
... I'm on Iron Fey series.. and i'm currently reading
at first i thought this series was boring, but it's not. It's filled with adventure and fey stuff of course haha
Just earlier, i finished
, (Iron Fey 1.5) *weew* actually this goes before iron daughter but I was excited to get to the next so i skipped it. But well, i still ended up reading it. It's just 59 pages i think. And now i'm on

Beautiful Creatures. Actually, I'm listening to it and it is okay. Don't love it, but...I don't like the sound effects they've added-strange. Anyone read the print book? What did you think?

I thought the male lead (Ethan??) was way too girlie and could tell he was written by two women!
In the last couple of days I have finished the following books:
Magic Hour
I am going to continue with
and start another book.

Maybe. I. Need to find a book with amale pov to compare? Any suggestions? :)
