I got to the point where he met the girl. I know a girl, what a novelty! It wasn't long after that when I gave up.

Good, I'm glad! Can't wait to hear what you think.

I wasn't interested in TKONLG at first either. It takes a while to get used to the writing style and the somewhat confusing plot. But once I got about halfway through I was totally hooked. And the second and third books are AMAZING. :)

Sooo right now I'm reading …
Although I've taken a bit of a break from it because I was reading Clockwork Angel all day yesterday. And it was one of those books that was so darn good I feel like I can't read anything else for a while … ;)

I went to get this from the library yesterday and I couldn't find it even though it was listed as there. Bummer. I did get the first Kate Daniel's book though so that should make you and Peep happy :)

Heidi, I hope they find this book for you! Yes to the Kate Daniels series! I hope you end up liking the books as much as Peep did.

I know a coworker who raves about SHUG. I haven't read either of these books, but I thought you might be interested in a side by side comparison of their covers:


I've seen them in person, and yes they are the exact same popsicle, just flipped and recolored.

I am in too many groups so I feel like I repeat this post all the time. Anyhoo, I am reading and/or listening to

and I finished it last night so now I'm back to the Jaclyn Moriarty book.

This is my first book by her, but I like it a lot so far.

The second book in the President's Daughter series. I didn't really like the first one but that's probably because I don't live in the States so I didn't really understand the politics.

I finished these two the past few days:

It's not fantasy but YA contemporary fiction and it's one of my favorite reads this year.

Anyway … I just finished reading Eyes Like Stars today. It was cute.
I started reading The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake, which is alright so far but I have a feeling it's going to go downhill. We'll see. :P

It is weird, but trust me––soon you will be hooked!

It's an entertaining book, but there isn't much of a compelling plot. The world is original, but it sort of leaves a lot to be desired … that is, I found it difficult to understand why it exists. I think you'll see what I mean when you read it. Mostly the book relies on humor; and even that's only funny if you have some basic Shakespeare knowledge. Luckily I've had to read a lot for school … lol. :)

Fallen by Lauren Kate? I thought it was okay … Nothing really special, though. I haven't read Fallout … didn't like Evermore much, though.

Me neither!
