We'll see. I'm not very far into it but there seems to be a lot of Twilight parallels.
I haven't read any of Rick Riordan's books but they are on my list. My hubby was talking about reading the Percy Jackson series after Finnikin.

Been reading less this month. Just started this today...

Let me know what you think of World War Z. I listened to the audiobook. Very convincing!
I am listening to
and
on audio and going to start reading
this weekend after I finish my current cozy.







Okay, change of plans. As soon as I finish reading Forever I'm going to start Goliath.
AAHHH SO EXCITED. <3
AAHHH SO EXCITED. <3

I am jealous... I have to wait 2 more months to read it. I loved Unearthly!
So, I finished reading Forever. I liked it, but not as much as the other ones. I thought the ending was kind of ... rushed. And not very satisfying.
Right after I finished it, I read the entirety of Goliath, because ... I just could not stop. Oh my goodness. It was SO GOOOOD. Now that was a satisfying ending to a series. <3

I really disliked the ending for Forever and it impacted my entire rating.

Yeah, I didn't like the ending much either. I didn't hate it, I just wished it were ... more. Because basically everything happened within the last 20 pages or so. And I had some believability issues with it. :/

I did not know this. Okay, my Dolley Madison reading for IB History is going to have to wait.
YES IT IS.
I think it came out about a month ago, but I didn't get to it until now because my sister and my mom read it first. Blahhh!
It's amazing! :)

Oh, gosh, Brigid. It really does look like I'm stalking you. It's not my fault I set my feed to people who write reviews often. Heh. Heh. Oh, wait, it is.
Anyway, I'm currently reading The Lost Hero. Or failing to read it. It's been a month, and I still haven't finished it. School make me be busy. Reading. No time. No capable of writing sentences. I go bye.
Bye.
Okay, I think that finally I'm going to read Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close. I've heard a lot of mixed opinions on it, so ... let's seeee.

Graceling is excellent on audio.

I had the same problem. Overall, the book is a little dry. However, there are some stories that are more interesting than others. I think the audiobook helped liven things up a bit because they had a different actor read for each story. Good luck and hang in there!!! :)
Okay I've only read the first ten or so pages of Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, but I already see why a lot of people find it annoying. I don't think the author sounds like a 9-year-old at all, even if the kid is smart for his age or whatever...


A while ago I started reading



I am currently listening to

I am also reading



Wow, jealous! I would like to read both Delirium and Crossed! :D
I'm still reading Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close but I left it in my dorm room when I left for Thanksgiving break. D:
But I have some digital books on my computer so, recently I finished The Girl Who Owned a City: The Graphic Novel and now I'm reading Sisters of Glass.

I've promised myself I'd start



So good!"
It is!! I finished it a couple of weeks ago it was amazing!"
I am only on page 90 though! I just don't have enough time to read! :(
