What are you currently reading?
Finished
last night by our own David Estes. Very fun read! Well done, David! When does the next book come out? :-)
Started Half Way Home yesterday and received my signed copy of I, Zombie in the mail today! Both books are by Hugh Howey. Hmmmm.. 2 very different books! What to do, what to do? :-) Love this type of dilemma!

I am starting Seraphina
on audiobook as well as Size 12 and Ready to Rock
. August has been HORRIBLE for me reading wise. I have been reading the same two books for the past 2 weeks! I have got in several audiobooks but my print reading is seriously lacking. My eye keeps getting drawn to my GR total for 2012 and all I see is "you are 4 books behind". Ugh! The pressure.

XD I know you can catch up with your goal, but with me, I'm not so sure, but I will certainly try. ;-) I have at least 9 books that I've been reading for a while, but I'm currently focusing on one or two of them at a time so I can diminish that list. :-)

*pst* secret time - I changed my GR yearly goal twice because the pressure got to me!

Cheater! Haha!
Cheater! Haha!
Heidi, you know what you can handle, so no worries about changing your goal. ;-) I'm tempted to do the same, ha ha! :-) I couldn't reach my goal of 200 books last year but I'm really hoping things will change this year. :-)
I finally started
I know I must be the last person here that haven't read it but better late than never right? :)

I didn't love The Giver either, Heidi. I always feel left out... haha. But now I know I'm not alone!

Oh, how is Seraphina? I keep hearing about it. And you can catch up! At the beginning of the summer I was 16 books behind my goal and now I'm only 3 books behind. So, it can be done. XD

Oh yay! I am glad I am the only person who was not into the Giver. Sometimes I wonder if I am too picky but if someone else agrees with me I say "nah!" :)

I am on part 3 out of 11 of the Seraphina audiobook and it is quite strange (but it is a fantasy). It is keeping my attention though so I am not sure yet -- I'll come back when I am done and tell you my final thoughts.

I'm still reading
, I'm not really into it, the dialogue is kinda annoying and so far the story is really predictable. I'm 81% in and I've read good reviews.

Since you liked Night Circus I would say YES!

I am 100 pages in The Scorpio Races. Does anyone know when it picks up speed? For some reason I'm feeling bored with it.

Oh yes I felt the same way (and was also initially creeped out about killer horses) - I would say the second half picks up when they are getting ready for the race and the race itself but it is a slow moving book in general. I ended up liking it even though I almost gave up on it. Maggie tends to write in a methodical manner in her Mercy Falls series too IMO.

In general it's not a very fast-paced book, but towards the end it gets more exciting. It's more focused on the world-building and characters, I think.

Okay! So far I'm thinking you'd like it Heidi, but I'm not too far into it. I'll let you know when I'm done. ;)

Dearest children of mine (shut up, it makes sense even though I'm only sixteen), I've been banned from the computer! Super pissed about it, and I'm only able to write this because I'm at the library and what can my parents do about me being at the library on the computer? Whatever. But yeah, that's why I've been gone so much! I'd like to say that I'll be back soon ... but my paretns are suuuuuper pissed at me for sneaking out. But anyway, I'm currently reading
and
!At first I thought I'd like The Iron King ... and I do like the writing style, but ... I hate faeries soooo much. So I'm stuck on the part where they're at the Seelie Court. There's too many faeries for me to care about it anymore.
And I've lately read:
(and I fucking loved it ... but the last words pissed me off SO MUCH. Like, seriously. So much.),
)and i freakin loved it! Even more than VA! By far! :D), and I also finished
, unless I already told ya'll i finished it. But yeah, loved all of em :D But serisouly. I feel like kiliing Lauren Kate. (view spoiler)["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>
Ha ha, dearest children of mine, that's funny, Seth. :-) I hope you get un-banned from the computer soon! It's great that you've been reading a lot! I have Pandemonium from the library but haven't read it yet. I should start on that soon. ;-)I did start on
Have any of you guys read it before?
I am skipping Iron King because I hate fairies too. Seth I love how you "sneak out" and you go to the library! I snuck out and went to much worse places back in the day!
Ah, yeah - I have to admit it's kind of strange to hear about a teen sneaking out to go to the library. Most parents would be THRILLED if that's where their teen sneaks off to. Seriously. :-)
Feeling your pain Seth, hope your punishment doesn't last long. I'm reading
and so far I'm loving it. Highly recommended it, great book.
