Kourtni - You better do a beatdown on the person who isn't returning it. Haha! I'm not very far into the re-read but it is interesting reading it from the perspective of knowing who/what everyone is.

I'm not really that far into it, I just can't get into the story. Will tread through it though."
Bluemoon I just finished the audio and it took me about 5 CD's until I was really into it (out of 10 total so about half). IMO it really picked up when Kearnes (sp?) showed up. His character is delicious. I really enjoyed it.

Yeah, it does take a while to get good. I didn't really like it until I got about halfway through or more. And the second and third books are better, IMO. :)
Anyway, I'm currently reading:
Ehh, I have mixed feelings about it so far. I have like 100 or so pages left. I like it, but it took a while for it to get interesting. And even so it's kind of ... strange.

I've been meaning to read that one, too. I'll try to borrow that one soon. Seems like a bunch of people aren't so crazy about it.
Now reading Romeo and Juliet. Recently finished "Perfect" from the Pretty Little Liars series (the add book/author thing isn't working for me now)


Well if you're reading Shakespeare for fun, try Macbeth."
Thank you for the suggestion :-) have you heard an audiobook version of it or just read the book?


This morning I finished:
I actually ended up liking it. Which was strange, because I kind of hated it when I started it. Haha.

Finished The Bell Jar! Now I'm reading:
It's ... hmm. Yeah, I'm not really sure what I think, yet. Definitely quite different from the original story. Haha.

I'm done with this just now, and I really like this series, though I think Cassel's cons were more funny in White cat :) What do you think about Red Glove Heidi?
KAREN: I also never thought I'd like a book about zoms until I read Rot & Ruin! <3
Will be starting


No, mine has gone down, too. I currently am reading


I've been so busy that I just read a couple of chapters at night.

I liked Red Glove but liked White Cat more.

Mine has too. I think my allergies are making me sleepy because I crash before I even read 20 pages lately.

Woohoo! I love Rot & Ruin. :) Dust & Decay is at the library for me, but I haven't picked it up yet.
So, I finished:
Meh, I didn't like it very much.

Hmm. I don't really like the cover art, but I guess you're not supposed to judge a book by its cover. ;) Haha. Plus it has only 4 and 5 star reviews. So, huh. I think I will give it a try.

Not sure if I mentioned but I am listening to
on audiobook. So far NOTHING is happening. Hope it picks up.

Cassidy Jones is AWESOME! I've read both books and can't wait for the 3rd. Even though it's target audience is middle school (and I'm WAY past middle school!), I loved the series.

Brigid - The cover art isn't my favourite either, but in this case definitely don't judge the books by it!

Bitterblue is soooooooooo slow right now. Nothing is happening! Glad you are liking The Monstrumologist - I really enjoyed it once Kearnes (or whatever his name is) showed up.

What did you think of the epilogue in Jenna Fox? Personally I hated it and it almost ruined the book for me.

I agree, Heidi. I was disappointed in that epilogue. She could have just ended it with that last chapter, which had a more powerful and open-ended conclusion. And then when I turned the page and saw the epilogue I was like, "Wow, that just totally ruined it." Haha. Of course, I wasn't a big fan of the book in general. I thought it was okay but not great.
