See! I follow you even in your sleep like any proper book pimp would do!

[Heidi]

I love how all of you non Book Thief readers are openly confessing here so I can save some time researching who admitted not reading it!

My turn... I'm sneakily reading instead of

Hope I can read fast enough before my elibrary snatches Beautiful Creatures back. Or not... ;)

[Harold]

Just finished by Robert Cormier. Pretty good book, but so utterly depressing. It's up there with The Chocolate War for most depressing book, maybe even I Am the Cheese. Yes, those are all by the same author.

I LOVE ROBERT CORMIER SO MUCH.

I have not read Sunset Rising but it is probably a good sneak compared to Beautiful Creatures!

I really have to work myself up to read something I know will be depressing.

[Becky]

That's part of why I haven't finished The Book Thief. I'm pretty sure I will be brokenhearted for some of it. So now I just need to work up the courage to read on.

Understandable. Here: . This is one of the extremely, extremely few not depressing Robert Cormier books. It's semi autobiographical though it is in poetry form. It's one of his lesser works, though still fairly good, in my opinion. Beautiful without being depressing is always a good thing.

I really liked BEAUTIFUL CREATURES, not so much the 2nd in the series.

[Becky]

Just finished up . Definitely adult fantasy fiction, but the plot and all were pretty well done.

I'm currently reading which is Junior Fiction.

It did have some sad parts but some funny parts too.

I have not heard of either of those Becky.

Soo good!! The third wont disappoint either :)

[Becky]

Stonewiser was one of those Goodreads Firstreads wins. I now only have 3 books to read. If someone likes adult fantasy fiction with a dark story line, it's decent. The plot moves quickly and has quite a few surprises. Characters were pretty good and it has a bad guy named Arron. (Not quite as crazy as Aaron, but still a decently wicked guy.)

[Cassi aka Snow White]

Reading which is good so far. I'm always happy when galleys are goods because it's always such a gamble.

[Peep (Pop! Pop!)]

People that haven't read The Book Thief yet, you must! It really is as good as everyone says it is!!! <-- See that? I broke out the triple exclamation points! I even de-lurked to write this. Read it, please (or listen to the audiobook).

[Peep (Pop! Pop!)]

I am sorta reading right now. I am not far into it enough to judge it yet.

Though this book is more middle grade, I loved it! (It's actually one of those books that's great for all ages). My husband is reading it to the kids every night and they love it too. It is a fast read and VERY much worth the hype. Has anyone else read it?

I do like some adult fantasy so I will keep an eye on that one.

I loved Edward Tulane! I thought it was a children's book when my grandma gave it to me, and it is, but it was so well written and very captivating.

[Heidi]

Peep are you listening to that Edward Tulane book on audio -- it seems like you have the print copy from your post.

[Cassi aka Snow White]

It takes place in 1918 in the height of the Spanish flu. Mary Shelly Black's childhood sweetheart is away at war and his brother is a somewhat famous spiritualist photograph. Mary is a very scientific sort, doesn't really believe in that stuff. Then stuff that is spoilers happens and she starts to try to question that and try to look at it scientifically.

It's just got a lot of 1918 - spanish influenza, persecution of people who opposed the war, the war - and a heroine that's pretty spunky and intelligent thus far.

I'd just read a good book before this one and was expecting a letdown. But so far I'm enjoying it.

[Heidi]

Hmmm sounds interesting Cassi. Let me know if you recommend it when you are done please :)

[Rachael]

on my Kindle and in paperback Although with pride and Prejudice I keep on imagining it as The Lizzie Bennant Diaries

Ohhhhh P&P is one of my all time favorites EVER. I also loved Cinder and as I have mentioned recently I am sneaking in parts of Scarlet on audiobook here and there instead of Maze Runner.

Will do. I'm right at 50% and so far it's got me. It had to follow which is a series I just love. I was worried about my next read but so far so good.

[Heidi]

Oh I have not read the Agency series either *off to look it up*

[Heidi]

That is awesome Bluemoon! Are you going to try to meet her then?

p.s. I really need to try one of those Clues books.

It was an instant read title at Netgalley. Do you get their emails? It was in an email.

It is! Very well written. I love the story that the grandma tells in the beginning.

I checked it out from the library, actually this is my second checkout. I don't know anything about the audiobook. The physical book has some really nice pictures that go along with the story. You have to read it.

Yeah I get the emails but I delete most because I am so behind on current books. It looks like the US release is in April so I will snatch it up then!

Good luck again :) I plan to get the first Clue book on audio -- I have it in my Overdrive wishlist I just always get something else instead. I am currently working through Sue Grafton's A-Z series so that is normally what I get instead.

The Agency is very fun. Victorian England all female spy agency. I've been told it's not very historically feasible BUT it's fun. Don't do them on audio though I hated the narration.

It's probably best to wait because the formatting they did for the kindle version is not so great. Actually, it's bad.

Oh good to know! I just checked and only one library in my circuit has the audio and it is a Playaway which I try to avoid since I listen in the car most of the time. My library has it in print.

I can mail it to you if you want to try it.

[Becky]

is by the author who wrote Delirium. This is the first book I've read by her and it was OK. It's got some silliness, some darkness, some happy stuff.

[Lloyd]

I got side-tracked by . Tried the first book seeking some sort of...inspiration. Read this one just because I hate leaving a storyline unfinished. Sadly, instead of being inspiring, I found them pretty predictable. Not sure I'll ever get to that 3rd book or not. Maybe, if I need some mindless fluff to read.

For now, I'm back with . It's okay. But just okay.

I want a book that will just blow my mind it's so good. Do they still exist?

[Jessica (BlogEared Books)]

Lloyd-have you read The Hunt? i just finished the sequel The Prey and personally loved them!

[Heidi]

I hope they still exist Lloyd!

[Heidi]

*cough* *cough* Might I suggest The Book Thief Lloyd! hahahaha

Maybe. Don't know if it's up your alley, but I've heard extremely good things about it.
