While I did start , it's hard to get into because it starts out with all new characters and viewpoints, so there's no familiarity to draw me in...yet.

However, I did start . And while it started out a little rough for me, it quickly took off and I haven't been able to stop. I'm currently about 1/2 way done and can't wait to jump back in and read more! (Come on bedtime!!!) :)

[Heidi]

Lloyd now I am reconsidering waiting to buy the Crane Wife until it is released here. I had decided to wait because Brigid didn't love it. Ugh! I thought I had my mind made up :)

Well, it might just be striking a chord with me. Storytelling is similar to A Monster Calls (in how the tale is told). I'll try and finish it up over the weekend (if I can) and let you know the final result. :)

(Either way, I still really enjoy his writing!)

[Becky]

Finally finished . Unless you like historical fiction or books written in the 1920's (slow plot development, etc.), I wouldn't really recommend it even though it won the Newbery.

I am almost done with . This one's a lot more interesting for me.

I enjoyed the Graveyard book - the author narrates the audiobook and he is fantastic as a narrator.

[Brigid ✩]

I've often been disappointed in books that won the Newbery ...
I haven't read The Graveyard Book yet, though. And I do like Neil Gaiman a lot!

[Karen’s Library]

I just started for a buddy read.

I have also had mixed review issues with Newbery winers

[Heidi]

Bluemoon I loved Where She Went

I actually really enjoyed the BDB books until around book 8 or so and then I quit

[Brigid ✩]

Ah The Bell Jar ... that's a cheerful one.

[Charmaine]

Haven't been here in a while. I hope all of you are well and having fun with your current reading choices :-)

reading it's pretty interesting - a murder mystery, and I love the setting of renaissance Italy :-)

[Karen’s Library]

Just finished . Wow. Just wow! Started on audio and for our group read. In between, I'm rereading David's because I missed MC Siena and Perry the Prickler! ;-)

And starting on Tuesday for a buddy read!

[Heidi]

Hi Charmaine!

Karen is that Partials series one I would like?? My library doesn't have This is Not a Test on audiobook so I am deciding whether to use my audible credit for it or to read it in print...

[Karen’s Library]

Heidi, the Partial series IMO is better than the ones you aren't reading! It's very well written and lots of science, action, mystery. The MC is strong and not lost in love or googly eyed at boys! Our buddy reads have loved it!

[Karen’s Library]

This is Not a Test is a pretty short book. I'm almost half through and it's not grabbed me yet. Really depressing.

Ok I will look at it - thanks!!

[Brigid ✩]

I'm about 70 pages into:



I'm enjoying it so far. I don't know if it's as good/original as the Monstrumologist books, but I have a feeling it will probably get better as it goes along. It's still kind of setting up the story.

[Heidi]

I am anxiously awaing your final thoughts Brigid!

[David]

Me too! Thanks Brigid!

And Heidi, I agree with Karen that there's a good chance you'll enjoy Partials, she said it well. And like Chaos Walking it gets better as it goes and the concept of right and wrong is extremely gray and uncertain :)

[Kaylani]

I FOUND MY NOOK!

I also found... that I have a freakishly large ebook collection
:(

I have like 40gb of Kindle books, 25gb nook books...
50gb audio books....

and uhh err... like ... 100+ gb of random epubs and shtuff. D:

That said, I should be back to reading after I clean my apartment. :D

[Cassi aka Snow White]

Starting and hoping it's good.

Holy crap! I can not stand the amount of books in my Kindle but I feel better now compared to you :) Get to reading lady!

Weird title! What is it about??

[Lloyd]

I'm planning on finishing up today. I've been reading a lot of hype about , but despite that it sounds interesting and I'm hoping I can swing it (financially) and maybe start reading that one next. If my son is feeling better later (he wasn't sounding so great when I left for work this morning), I'm going to be at the monthly Lego mini-build tonight, but thanks to the instant gratification of downloading...I can still be reading it at bedtime tonight!

[Lloyd]

PS: is $1.99 on the Kindle Deal of the Day!

[Heidi]

I am so excited to see everyones thoughts on the 5th Wave!

[Pragya]

Reading , , and listening to and .

[Heidi]

I want Someday Someday Maybe now!!

[Heidi]

Gone Girl is INSANE

[Heidi]

Wasn't it awesome Bluemoon!

I just got it! Thanks Lloyd!

And on that note, I just opened my Nook and found a software update where B&N googlified my Nook!! Which means, I can now download and use all 700,000 google apps which includes the KINDLE app!! I'm soooo excited. I downloaded and opened it up and found several books I had bought but never finished reading because I didn't have the patience to read on my smartphone.

Woot woot!! Sooooo excited!!

Vered, your book is next! I haven't had the chance to figure out how to convert to whatever to read on my Nook. Now I don't have to worry! Easy peasy!!

[Heidi]

Yay Karen! I bought an android jellybean SD card for my nook color so I could read my kindle books on it. Love it!

[Heidi]

p.s. Karen the Monstrumologist is very dark but I really liked it

[Vered]

Lloyd wrote: "PS: is $1.99 on the Kindle Deal of the Day!"

Ugh - I couldn't find that deal even when I found the book. Really weird. Musta just missed the day by an hour or so!

Cool idea - you get the best of both worlds!

"Googlified"! Love the new vocab! And let me know what you think of Dragon's Mind - and check out the You Tube (Japanese holograph singer) mentioned in the book. You won't believe it! Unless you've already seen it before... But I still think it's cool.

It's good so far. Go grab it, Heidi. I agree Gone Girl is insane..slow but good. I am on part 2...

[Cassi aka Snow White]

It's kind of a strange books, strikes me as magical realism at this point a bit. It's very good. It's about this boy who's family moves to this island where their are magical fish with curing properties because the little brother has cystic fibrosis.

And it's very hard to describe. It's good, interesting and deep.

Yeah the first part of GG is slow and then the last part is all 100 mph! I have a hold on the audiobook for Someday Someday -- love Lauren G.!!!

Sounds interesting - very different!

[Brigid ✩]

I'm probably about 75% done with The 5th Wave. I think you guys will like it ... it's very intense. :) I still don't think I like it quite as much as the Monstrumologist books but it's still really good.

Oh and I also started our group read last night:



I haven't read much of it but it's interesting so far.

[David]

Awesome, thanks!!
