message 551: by Katrina (new)

Katrina | 38 comments Still slowly plodding through My Life by Bill Clinton (which I think I would read faster if I had it on my Kindle), with a little delve into Living History by Hillary Rodham Clinton here and there....about 1/3rd the way done with The Traitor's Wife by Susan Higginbotham which I swore we were reading this month as a voluntary read (maybe it was for a different group)....and trying to decide whether I want to start The Hangman's Daughter by Oliver Pötzsch or something else completely.

Zakiya LadyWings (zladywings) I finished The Final Warning (Maximum Ride, #4) by James Patterson 3 days ago, and started I Am Number Four (Lorien Legacies, #1) by Pittacus Lore last night. Already finished with 37% of the book! It's seriously ahmazing. Can't wait until Friday for the movie :)

Let me know if that is any good Natasha! I have been considering reading it.

Heather (nickyblue7) | 486 comments Zakiya does the series get more interesting?


message 559: by Dee (new)

Dee (austhokie) | 315 comments Io am number 4 is one of the books on the poll for the next SRC challenge, but right now City of Ashes (i think) is winning...but I might have to pick it up as well

I already read City of Ashes (good YA series) so I chose I Am Number Four for that one.

Zakiya LadyWings (zladywings) Heather wrote: "Zakiya does the series get more interesting?"

I think it does! Lots of people think it's only 3 stars, but I really think it was worth reading. There's a big speech that Max gives to Congress members about global warming. They need to have that speech for real, I think.

Yeah, it's really good. 69% done with it, and I have to say I haven't read a book this intriguing for a while. It's a completely new concept to devour and understand, so that probably has something to do with it for me. :)


message 564: by Jencey/ (new)

Jencey/ (jencey) I am reading Mercy by Jodi Picoult and Lois Lane Tells All (Talk of the Town, #2) by Karen Hawkins .


Amy ~Lover of Books~ | 538 comments Finished Blessed (Tantalize, #3) by Cynthia Leitich Smith a couple days ago and started Unearthly (Unearthly, #1) by Cynthia Hand last night. I'm only on chapter 2 so far.

★Meghan★ (starinheaven) | 1455 comments I just finished a few books this week... Back On Blossom Street (Blossom Street, #4) by Debbie Macomber and Christmas Eve at Friday Harbor (Friday Harbor, #1) by Lisa Kleypas . Now I am going to focus on finishing Jane Eyre and reading Twenty Wishes.


Amy ~Lover of Books~ | 538 comments I finished XVI by Julia Karr last night. This was one was a better dystopian novel I have read since the Hunger Games. I did not really like Matched or Across the Universe.

Now, I am going to start another dystopian novel:
Delirium (Delirium, #1) by Lauren Oliver

Just started Eldest (Inheritance, #2) by Christopher Paolini


message 570: by Zakiya (new)

Zakiya LadyWings (zladywings) Love the Inheritance Cycle! I have to reread this year :)


message 571: by Erin (new)

Erin | 34 comments I love it too! This is the third time that I've read Eragon because every time I try to read Eldest, I never finish it, so I am determined to finish it this time so I can read Brisingr


message 572: by Zakiya (new)

Zakiya LadyWings (zladywings) Awesome! Brisingr is by far my favorite :)


message 573: by Erin (new)

Erin | 34 comments That's what my friend said. She said that she agreed with me and found Eldest a slower read, but Brisingr was really good.

Yeah, I agree with both of you about Eldest. It took me a hot minute to get more into it.

★Meghan★ (starinheaven) | 1455 comments I finished Twenty Wishes yesterday. I will be focusing on reading The Book Thief and Clockwork Angel then I think I will pick back up Outlander and still reading Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince when my Nookcolor is dead. After I finish one of these book I will read Midnight Pearls: A Retelling of "The Little Mermaid"


message 580: by AnQi (new)

AnQi (anqiyu) | 85 comments Midnight Pearls is an interesting renovation of the popular Little Mermaid. It wasn't my favorite, but it was still original and interesting.

I quit The Windup Girl because it was so hard to get into. I am now finishing up Jane Eyre.

message 586: by Heather (new)

Heather (nickyblue7) | 486 comments finished the Julian Game and i have to say it was a very quirky book. its a quick read but not that good. reading Wildthorn by Jane Eagland and its really good

Enjoy them?! Would love to know!

Heather: Hmm, like quirky, but the "not that good" part is making me skeptical.

u could easily tell that it was the writers first book because it wasnt focused on the plot that much


message 590: by Zakiya (new)

Zakiya LadyWings (zladywings) hmm, doesn't sound like i would really enjoy it. im going to try and get it on my Kindle.

Starcrossed bored me most of the book, but there were some good parts too. Angel Burn was amazing!
