Have you read "Looking for Alaska"?

Umm ok, it does get to be a bit sad. Have you read Dash & Lily's Book of Dares. It's a fun read.

It's a great book. Light and fluffy. :) Just right for the season! And you weren't being difficult. ;)
Heidi wrote: "Shannen I started . Let the games begin!"How far into the book, are you? Is it good?
Weeee I finished
today and started
:D Blood Promise was definitely my favorite so far . . . So good!
Pragya - I read the book. I gave it 2*. The first part of it was good but the couple are a total mess. It's the same thing over and over again. The most unhealthy relationship ever.
Seth - You are just trekking along!

Oh yes, Shannen, I saw you and Heidi talking about it. I was wondering about Heidi's take on it. :)
Oops. Sorry. I'm curious what she thinks too. Especially curious to see how far she got before she couldn't take it anymore. ;)

I'm not very far into Clockwork Prince yet, but I loved Clockwork Angel. They have a pretty different atmosphere, being set in the Victorian era. And the main character is a Downworlder instead of a Shadowhunter. But they still have the same dark quality, and of course all the creepy demons and whatnot––including evil demon robots. It's more steampunk than the companion series. But anyway ... they're super cool, in my opinion.

Right now I'm reading
. Well, really, I'm rereading, because I couldn't remember what happened, and I am about to start
..........
Finished "Matched" and now reading

Heidi... it was pretty good...I enjoyed listening to it on CD but it took a while to get use to the language for me
Mod
Thanks!

EVERLOSTTT! I lovelovelovelovelove Everlost. Particularly Everfound and Everwild, but stillll. Neal Shusterman is a God.
Finished
which I liked and will read the next in the series. It's similar to VA which turned me off at first but I kept reading and got over it. I actually liked it enough that I'm now reading
by the same author.

So far it seems like if you are the type of person who enjoys reality shows this is the book for you. I will give an actual update later - hopefully I will be done Thur.

OK. Now I'm not too sure about that. I like some reality shows while hating others. Hmm, I'll wait for your full review, Heidi.

But... but it's not even a pleasure. Because I legitimately hate these books. XD I guess it's just, they're so ridiculous that I have to know what crazy thing is going to happen next...

So far it is like a train wreck! It is about a guy and a girl who play head games with each other. That is basically the plot (I am 1/3rd into it).
So I started rereading
today o.o And omg I love this book so much. But it makes, like, zero sense. -dies- And I also need to reread
. . . Because Andrew Smith is pretty much my favorite author these days. So yeah. And I'm probably going to buy
and
and read those too . . .

I can't believe you're still reading it! I thought for sure you would have washed your hands of it by now. ;)
P.S. I love Seth's and Brigid's enthusiasm about books.

Started reading
which is the second book in the Significance series.
