What is that one about?"
It looks like a bit of psychological thriller so far. I have just started.

I'm reading

I enjoy that series. I think I've read the first 5 books so far. Maybe I'll have to get back on track with those once I'm done with my current books.

Also just because the med is old doesn't mean that's the reason they have it on special order. It probably just means what you have is rare, and needs to be treated but places often don't keep those meds in stock. I know I need to pre-order a lot of my unusual meds before I run out if I want a quick pick up.
I have a pineal cyst and have had thyroid cancer. And have other endocrine issues. So if you want to talk feel free to message me. Health issues suck.
I'm about halfway through:
It's more middle grade than YA I think, but I am enjoying it nonetheless. It's very creative and the illustrations are fantastic.
I'm getting towards the end of:
Which is also very good ... a bit confusing, but it makes more sense as it goes along. It blows my mind how much planning must have gone into it. Yikes.
After I'm done with these I plan to re-read The Book Thief!
Lloyd and Kaylani - I'm sorry to hear about your health problems. :(

Yay for Chaos Walking. I plan to listen to Delirium - I've heard I may like it but no one is sure! I'll give it a try and see.

Why not, Heidi?
I finished it last night, and I liked it a lot. There were a few things about it that bothered me, but over all I thought it was a cool book. (And now I can finally watch the movie. Yaaay!)
I also finished Abarat. As I said earlier, it was a little too middle grade for my taste I think. Conceptually it was pretty cool and I loved the illustrations. But I felt like it went on for a bit too long, and also the main character was kind of a Mary Sue. So ... meh. Good but not great.
I also started:
I wasn't sure whether or not I wanted to read it, but my mom has it out of the library right now so I figured I might as well give it a try.

My "tumor" is what they call a "Prolactinoma" I have these insanely high levels of prolactin being produced, so they want to medicate that to bring it down to normal. (I have like 331 when it should be less than 17 -- whatever that means).
Medication is something called Dostinex. Fun times. But...better than surgery!
Not sure if this has anything to do with my "blahs", but I guess time will tell.
Oh...as for reading. Looks like

It (Cloud Atlas) seems like such a commitment with all those characters and I am lazy! hahahaha

Lloyd I would think anything that can effect your hormones can also effect your mood. Hope your meds help :)

Haha yeah it is a lot of different stories. But they are told in pretty large "chunks" so it's not too hard to keep track.

Yay! Both awesome books. :)

I loved reading Anna and the French Kiss :-) I have Book Thief from the library too!
Reading a bunch of stuff, including





Yay Becky hope you enjoy Book Thief and Anna-- two of my faves :)
Bluemoon that mystery looks interesting.

Charmaine I just started Etiquette and Espionage on audio and as I mentioned just finished Maze Runner.


Too funny! Hahahh
Finished:
It was ... hmm. Good, I guess. Good but not great. I think I liked it more than the first book, but I did still have a lot of frustrations with it.
Currently re-reading:
Yay!
And I'm almost also done with:

I'm also reading "Clockwork Princess". Just released and I had to have it.
Karen Before I Fall is best in audio because Jenna narrates it. It is worth the read IMO but overall I was irked by the end

Haha I'm also reading Clockwork Princess. It came in the mail today and I had to drop everything and start reading it. Gotta finish it before anyone spoils it for me. XD

Karen scratch my earlier comment Sarah Drew (From Everwood) narrates it but she is also one of my favorites!

Yes it is very NBA looking! I just found it one day while looking for book pimp ideas :) I have not heard of that book - is it and indie writer??

Let me know if it is good :) I am still working on Everyday (nearly done I'm on the last part of the audio) and just getting into Etiquette and Espionage. Finished Scarlet and did not love it as much as Cinder.

I listened to Game of Thrones on audio. The narrator was very good. I can't get myself to listen to the next one though for some reason.

Yeah the playaways suck. I use an adapter and play them through my CD player speakers in the house. GOT is a huge time commitment on audiobook so I would read it if you aren't driving a lot!
