What are you currently reading?
I'll definitely let you know. I'm all over these indie authors right now. :)

Just finished

I'm currently reading

I'm here Kourtni, I'm here! I have nothing new to report though. Still listening to Night Circus (curiouser and curiouser) and the rest of my books are cozies.

Heidi: I reeeeally want to know how you end up liking Night Circus. While I was reading it I was thinking "man this is sooo cool! But I bet lots of people won't like it". I don't exactly have a reason for thinking that, just a feeling I suppose.




Yay! Book Thief on audio is excellent and if you like it right away that is great because a lot of people are put off by Death as the narrator at first :) I did buy the book in print afterwards so I could look at some of the pictures (you will know what I mean later).

Now I will finally start with


Just finished

I read

Im currently reading The Hunger Games so that I can see the movie in time. Im 1/3 of the way through and im just blown away lol


Bridget: I love love LOVED The Book Thief!! Though I didn't listen to it on audio and I hear it is ever better listening to it. Enjoy!!

Kourtni- I am glad I went with the audio. All those German words would have had me tongue tied and looking up how to pronounce them constantly.
I started
last night and so far, I think this might be a book that even Heidi will like. ;) Once I finish it, I will give my final recommendation.

That is the best part of the audiobook - the way the narrator says all those swear words. Love it! I called my hubby a saukerl for months.

Although I'm only about 1/4 of the way through
, I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that Penryn is a lot like Katniss. I think that readers who loved The Hunger Games and Chaos Walking series will like this book too. It's been hard to put down.

SHANNEN:..."
Wow! I can't wait to read it!!

I did the same thing to my husband! I had him saying it for a while too LoL!!
Bluemoon - Some of the scenes had a Hunger Games or Chaos Walking feel to me. I'm halfway through it and got to a scene that kind of freaked me out. Eek!
It just gets freakier and freakier! (Is that a word?!)


Keep reading, Jessica! It is SO worth it! The Chaos books are just really heavy reading.

Agreed! Keep it up -- it gets better once he and Viola meet up.

I bought it! It was only 99 cents and has 5 stars on Amazon so I figured "whats a buck?" I hope it is awesome!

I actually put the book down after about 100 pages and wasn't going to finish it. I decided to pick it back up after some encouragement and I'm SO glad I did. It is now one of my favorite series! Keep at it!


Heidi I got

Ooh Kourtni, enjoy! Don't forget the tissues!!

Finished
. OMGosh! I thought it was soooo good and I hope I'm not the only one. Read it sooner rather than later, ladies!
I'm finally going to finish reading
. The parts with the Lessers are such a turn off that this series is hard to read. I just want to know about the BDB men and their ladies.

I'm finally going to finish reading

I agree! Z's book is my favorite. I always skipped the lessers too (except in one book because he was crazy and entertaining!)

So strange to read posts about books I've already read! Normally, I'm WAY behind the bar on these things. :)
Haha, Lloyd! Me too! I usually read the monthly reads a few months after the fact.
See, Heidi! Even Lloyd liked it! ;)

Existence has been all over my recommendations on Amazon lately but I keep ignoring it because I have so many other books I want to read! You'll have to let me know what you think Shannen.
