So, I finished Leaving Paradise this morning. Eh. Well, I don't want to spoil anything but I didn't like the ending. As a whole it was okay.
Now I'm moving on to Radiant Shadows (Wicked Lovely #4) by Melissa Marr. :] eeep excited!

I recently finished reading the Kate Daniels books




I love these books, still can't get them out of my head. I now have a favorite urban fantasy series. :) I'm planning to read this next:







But I'm actually more excited for a new YA trilogy Juliet Marillier has coming out in 2013... a long while away but I'm hoping it's really good! No synopsis yet but it's called the Shadowfell trilogy :)
Untitled by Juliet Marillier

I didn't really care for Wildwood Dancing, I mean it was okay but it wasn't as great as Daughter of the Forest. I hope her new YA series is better.



Amy, how's it going with Heir to Sevenwaters? I hear it's better than Child of the Prophecy. I called our bookstore and it's available in a different branch so I had it transferred to the one near me. I hope I get it before I finish reading Child of the Prophecy.






As I am old, The Giver was not out when I was in school. I was not a huge fan of it as an adult. I think it is better for middle graders.





So far, so good!


My blog review won't be coming out for a while, since the book isn't published until November. I thought it was suspenseful, but I had a little issue with the main character because for being so smart it took her a long time to figure out something that was obvious to me. That was really my only issue with the book, so I guess I can't complain too much. I'd read the second one, although it's not due out for another year.
Next on my list is The Deathday Letter and Eyes Like Stars. I'm finishing up Fever Crumb which really isn't striking my fancy but I can't figure out why.
Oh and I'm listening to The Help, which isn't young adult but is extraordinary. I'm almost a week overdue returning it to the library (the audiobook is close to 18 hours long). The hold list though is forever and I'd rather pay the fine then wait through the list again to finish it.


Which is a book by a Filipino author. It's the first Filipino YA that I'm going to read!


Oh and speaking of Harry Potter, I heard that J.K. Rowling is possibly writing a new book! So maybe we can expect a new book from her in the following 3 or 4 years :D



I haven't checked this group in a while. :P Anyway, right now I'm reading Scarlett Fever by Maureen Johnson. Woot! I love Maureen Johnson. :]

I finished Tall Story and I'm ready to read this one:



It was brillant! You have to read this book. The description just doesn't do it justice. And if you have a chance to listen to the audio book, do it!
Here's my full review if you want to read it:
