I should read a ton more in the book thief today...

And I finished a bunch of manga from a series called Sekirei

[Becky]

I finished The Host. Should start Ready Player One today or tomorrow. Next couple are Alanna: The First Adventure and The Hunters.

I also enjoyed The Graceling, so I hope it gets better for you, Layton.

At least it's a good dilemma, Lloyd. I'm sure there's no wrong decision.

Oooo oooo oooo The Crane Wife is out now?? Must. Get. Now.

What were your thoughts on the Host. I DNF it but heard it gets better (still not going re-try it though). I hope you like Ready Player One! I enjoyed the Alanna series. The first book is kind of more middle grade IMO but as she matures so does the writing.

Yay! Give us a report on your thoughts :)

Yay! I love Everwild (and that whole series). I also love Graceling, although the pace is kind of slow especially in the beginning. And yeah, I wasn't a fan of Gone. I also thought it was cheesy and I just didn't sympathize with the characters at all.

AHHHH I forgot The Crane Wife was already out. O_o

[Becky]

I didn't love or hate The Host. I actually liked the minor characters better than the main characters and I thought the story was interesting. It dragged in parts and I would have liked a more developed back story on the Melanie/Jared relationship ('cause what we got was not very good, in my opinion.) I would like to know what happens in the sequel and I'm curious who's POV will be used.

As for Alanna, it sounds like The Protector of the Small series then. T. Pierce changes the story content to fit the age of the main character.

[Heidi]

Thanks for the update Becky! I think S. Meyer is just not for me but there are plenty of people who love her so I am sure she is fine :)

[Lloyd]

I'm just keeping with . SO good. And it's comforting to know I have just waiting there for me. If I rush in and read it...then I'm just back to waiting for another Patrick Ness book! :P

[Heidi]

Must. Read. Crane. Wife.

[Brigid ✩]

Me. Too.

I have it on my Kindle and I'm going to read it after I finish Ready Player One.

[Heidi]

I couldn't find the Crane Wife Kindle version? Am I going crazy??

[Kaylani]

on page like... 193 of the book thief... it keeps getting better....

D: I read like 150 pages today in less than an hour. o_o

[Heidi]

Yay Kaylani!

[Kaylani]

hahaha. I posted this... then did some other work I had to do and ate and read another 100 pages... in like 30 minutes.

This is too good. dammit.

[Karen’s Library]

One of my favorites! Yay for

Currently reading for a R&R and starting tomorrow for a buddy read! Still working on on audio. It's getting good now and I'm finally used to Lisbeth's voice so it's not quite as annoying. ;-). Glad I hung in there!

[Karen’s Library]

As soon as my audio of becomes available from my elibrary, I'll start that one. I'm excited to listen to it!

[Becky]

Finished The Hunters. I was a bit disappointed with that one.

I'm about 25% of the way through Ready Player One.

Woot woot! Girl Who Played With Fire and Ready Player One back to back on audio = awesomeness :)

Never heard of the Hunters but that sounds like a good thing!

[Kaylani]

I don't have access to it. Or I would try to read it.

Kaylani wrote: "I don't have access to it. Or I would try to read it."

Why not?? :(

[Heidi]

Ok I have about 15 minutes left of the audiobook for Etiquette & Espionage and am finding it very fun so far. I am about 1/4 of the way into the audio for Whale Talk which Wendy F recommended to me and like it so far and last but not least I am about 3/4th of the way through the audio for Delirium . I am liking it more than I expected so far (likely with help from the awesome Sarah Drew) --- here is my dilemma should I just finish it and leave the series there or go onto book 2??? I noticed a lot of my GR friends were not happy with book 3 so I am wondering if I should just leave it after book 1? I also saw from the reviews of book 2 that a love triangle is introduced and I hate those! Any thoughts from others who have read them and know how picky I am?? Help!

[Gwennie]

I haven't read Delirium, so I can't help you there.

I just wanted to say, I can't wait for your review of Whale Talk. :)

[Heidi]

Thanks Wendy! I am enjoying Whale Talk so far- very interesting premise :)

[Heidi]

Woot Woot! The free audiobooks are back again this year (classics and new books mixed together) - here is the list http://www.audiobooksync.com/

[Kaylani]

omg THE BOOK THIEF. HOW DO YOUDO THAT TO ME. HOW. ;o;

I am reading so many books right now I can't even list all of them myself.

I need to up my game for reading because I am far behind and I don't have my 'real' goal on my good reads yet just the cheap know i can reach it goal :(

Why not?? :("

It is backordered until eternity at the libraries in the area and I can't afford to buy a copy at the moment.

I'm glad you're enjoying Delirium! I liked that one too. I liked Pandemonium also (the love triangle isn't really introduced until like, the very last page ... it's kind of complicated to explain). I thought it was pretty good. I haven't read Requiem yet, though, and like you I've also seen that a lot of people are disappointed in it. I'll probably read it anyways. >.<

[Brigid ✩]

Last night I finished:



YAY! I liked it a lot, and the ending was very sweet. :)

Now I'm moving on to:



Wheeeee so excited!

I also downloaded all of Andrew Lang's fairytale collections yesterday ... I had a couple of the books when I was a kid and loved them, and I discovered they're free for Kindle! And I'm doing an art project that involves fairytales, so I'm also reading for inspiration:

[Heidi]

Yay Brigid! So glad you liked Ready Player One :) I can not find The Crane Wife except for in print??? Where did you get it?

Thanks for your thoughts on Pandemonium -- I may wait to see your thoughts on Requiem before I try Pandemonium.

Wow that stinks. I am pretty spoiled my my library system I guess.

Oh uh ... maybe it was from a sketchy corner of the internet. Merrrp.

And I'll let you know what I think of Requiem! I'll hopefully get to it soon. :)

Yes. omg. yes. It was so good.

Ugh! *bites nails*

Darcy wrote: "I am just re-reading so I can be ready to start "

Let me know your thoughts on Scarlet. I liked it but not as much as Cinder.

[Kaylani]

ugh. i have wanted to read those books sooo much but i don't have either and *sad pandas*

[Heidi]

Bluemoon wrote: "Heidi: i actually like the second book than the first. You see the protagonist start to grow."

I could see that. My main issue was there were too many characters in the second one that it was harder for me to keep up. Still liked it though :)

[Heidi]

Sorry Kaylani!!

[Brigid ✩]

Ahhh I still need to read Scarlet. I'll try to get to it soon. ;)

[Cassi aka Snow White]

Reading and Rachel Hawkins just speaks to me. Listening to which is quite good considering its a very random library grab.

[Heidi]

I love random good audiobooks Cassi! What is school spirits about??

[Cassi aka Snow White]

The main character is Izzy of the Brannicks and she's investigating a ghost at high school, but there's more background that I'm curious how it'll playout with her sister Finley.

[Heidi]

That sounds interesting Cassi. Keep me updated if you end up liking it when you are done please :)

[Heidi]

I am hoping to start The Sun Dwellers this week sometime. I will be done with Delirium tomorrow and hope to start the audio for Code Name Verity directly afterwards (Brigid recommended it :). I am about half done with the audio for Whale Talk and really like it so far (thanks Wendy!).

[Olga]

Ooh Heidi, how is Delirium? I've heard both good and bad things about it, what do you think?

[Gwennie]

I'm so glad you like it!

[Heidi]

So far Delirium is much better than I expected. I am listening to the audiobook and I have a girl crush on the narrator Sarah Drew so I kind of wonder if she is making me like the book even more than I would in print. There are parts that I am not 100% in love with (no pun intended) but having read several less than stellar dystopian books in the last year I would say it is one of the better ones (at least unless the ending ticks me off :)
