Oh yeah! This means we get another infamous Brigid review. (Anyone who hasn't read one of Brigid's reviews needs to go check them out. Seriously. Awesome.).

She already wrote it, a nice long one with GIFs included. XD I'm looking forward to reading her review! I want to finish the book first, though.

Just picked up the newest Pern book
So excited! This is the last book Anne MacCaffrey did (in collaberation with her son, Todd) before her recent death. The Acknowledgement Todd McCaffrey did at the beginning of the book about his mum's passing had me teary eyed at the book store. I read the first 9 pages in the Starbucks there and can't wait to delve in later today!!

I'm curious to see what you think of The Iron King, Kourtni. I have yet to read Froi. It's going to have to wait until I am in super reading mode. :)

Now, I'm nervous about it because Bluemoon didn't like it! I was leery about it for a long time because it is fantasy but ended up really liking it. Love Puck!
Well I love fantasy and our tastes are so similar. I'm sure I'll like it! I will let you know what I think as soon as I've formed an opinion. :)

Yay! Me too! It will take me longer because I only listen on the way to and from work. I am on CD 3 out of 10 so far.

Oh my... Brilliant, Brigid. Seriously brilliant review! I love all the video clips you tuck into your reviews!
@Bluemoon and Heidi - Yay! I hope you guys enjoy The Monstrumologist. (And the other two books as well, if you decide to read them.) ^_^
@Vered - Thanks! They're called gifs. Haha. Tumblr got me addicted to them...

This upcoming poll is going to be hard - I want to read all of the books that have been nominated so far, including this one!
I rec'd an email from Books on Board about free and discounted ebooks here is the link http://www.booksonboard.com/index.php...
Finished

. Needless to say I liked it!Bluemoon: I can see what you're talking about with the protag being a little annoying at times. But I'm thinking her character will develop into someone we can like more. I'm really hoping anyway...

Ummmmmm..I think there are a lot of aspects that will bother you Heidi. I'm going to say probably not.

Heidi - I thought the same thing as Kourtni which is why I was unsure about recommending it to you.
I'll give Iron King a try, especially if most of you like it. :-)Just finished
I think tonight I'll start on
This weekend I finished:
Side note: Heidi, have you read Graffiti Moon? Because it seemed like something you would like, to me. :) Kinda Melina Marchetta-esque.
Now I'm reading:
I haven't read a lot of zombie books, but this is one of my favorites that I've read so far. :)

. It was good and the protag is getting a little better!Bluemoon I don't think she will be as awesome as Mac gets. I loved Mac by the end of that series!! A lot of things about Meghan still bother me.
Bluemoon - Meghan gets better and more fierce but she is no Mac. I absolutely, positively LOVE Mac. She is one of my favorite characters of all time! Maybe it's time for a Fever re-read.
Gotta go check out the books Mackenzie and Brigid mentioned. I think they are on my TBR list.

Yes! Loved Graffiti Moon :) Those Aussie authors get me everytime.

Bluemoon - If you don't like Meghan, then you won't like the books. No biggie. What IS a biggie is that you haven't read the last two Fever books! What?! How could you stop at book 3????? The suspense almost killed me!

LOL no kidding! I went through those books so fast because of the cliff hangers. You must finish Bluemoon!!
I am currently reading

and will start that this weekend.
Juggling three books is going to make me scream so I'm pretty sure that Touch will fall by the way-side.

BLUEMOON: I actually ended up loving it! The world was believable and I loved all the political aspects of it. It's one of those books that really makes you think and consider different reactions to different actions. While Ember annoyed me at certain points, I ultimately end up loving her and her growth. I also really liked the fact that, unlike most dystopians, she's not part of the rebellion. The story is ultimately her trying to find her mother and learning how corrupt the FBR really is. And Chase is fantastic. He's your tortured soldier, but he's so much more than that. I really ended up falling for him :P I don't really know what your tastes are but I hope you end up liking it!
