I'm reading several books, like always :p-Marissa Meyer: Cinder.
-Tina Connolly: Ironskin.
-Jess Lourey: The toadhouse.
I really like them so far! :)
@ Bianca--I enjoyed it, and so did several of my male library patrons. My daughter is reading it now:)
I am currently reading Howl's Moving Castle. It's pretty good, I've almost finished it and I definitely like it. However, I think I may like Miyazaki's Howl and Sophie a tad more than Jones' characters.
LOVE Jennifer armetrout (last name can't recall perfect lol)BUT her writing is amazing!
Reading Opal which is the Luxen series ...
Obsidian ,onyx,shadows (not needed) and OPal (reading now)

I am currently reading PUSHING THE LIMITS
and i just love it so far.... The bonds between the characters are so strong and deep that makes the book "SUPER" worth-reading!!!!!
I read the first Mortal Instruments book, & I loved that! I put that series aside though, so I could read all the Beautiful Creatures before the movie comes out. I'm currently on the second one.

I just finished the novella Shadows after reading Obsidian and Onyx. If you´re into aliens and supernatural romance and plot twists go for it.
Clover Doves by Courtney FiligneziStruggling towards the light
Emma Fiorello is sixteen and deeply in love with Eric Florentino, a bright and caring, but wayward youth. They have a very special connection which Emma felt virtually as soon as they met. According to Emma they are “soul mates”. Eric knows what she means, but is perhaps a little less ‘spiritual’ in his outlook. Life is fresh and good, but Emma also senses that perhaps she and Eric will not stay together. Suddenly Emma is attacked and raped and her life begins the swift process of falling apart. Can Emma survive this turmoil and will she and Eric struggle through it, or will the premonition of relationship break-up come true?
Clover Doves could be classified as a paranormal romance: it is a love story with references to precognition, empathic telepathy and ghosts. The novel is, however, also part spiritual philosophy and part self-development/psychology. This is not to imply that Clover Doves is overly ‘preachy’ or contains lectures on these subjects: the philosophy and psychology arise naturally from the plot and characters, and are quite skilfully woven into the novel. It is clear, though, that Filigenzi has done much reading and thinking about the subject of human potential. Beyond these specialized subjects the novel is also very much about ‘ordinary’ life struggles: family, friends, love relationships, suffering, conflict and death. Clover Doves is skilfully written and will appeal to a quite wide variety of readers, especially those willing to keep an open mind.

Delighting In Your Company by Blair McDowell – Book Review5 out of 5 stars
Past suffering and future bliss?
Amalie Ansett is a busy working professional who part owns an advertising agency in Los Angeles. California. She has just suffered a painful break-up of her marriage and while cleaning her family home, which is now on the market, she discovers an unopened letter to her mother from a previously unknown cousin, Josephina Ansett. Josephina lives on St. Clements, a small island in the Caribbean. The letter invites Amalie and her mother, who is now deceased, to a visit on the island. Sorely in need of a break Amalie decides to go. Imagine her surprise when, while touring on St. Clements she learns of another Amalie Ansett, who lived in the early 1800s, and who looks remarkably like her twenty-first century descendent. Life takes on an even stranger turn when Amalie is visited by the ghost of Jonathan Evans, the 1810 lover of the Amalie of the past. Jonathan died in strange, unexplained circumstances and asks for Amalie’s help to solve the mystery.
Blair McDowell’s Delighting In your Company is an exciting, action packed novel of the paranormal romance/erotica genre. Much more than this, though, the book gives a glimpse of life in the early 1800s, especially for women and slaves. Most of all this is a novel about Amalie’s need to come to terms with her very present and very ‘real’ life problems.

A 3rd Time To Die by George A. BernsteinBook Review by Susan McMichael
4 out of 5 stars
What is it about you stranger?
This is a love story with a mystery at the heart of it, a paranormal mystery. Why can Ashley Easton speak French so well? Why can she ride a horse so well, after only riding for just a few weeks? Who is the mysterious young man she meets in the dressage competition, and why is he so alluring? A 3rd Time to Die by George A. Bernstein is a love story and a mystery, rolled into one. It uses the concept of reincarnation as an interesting plot device.
Our first glimpse of Ashley Easton is of a woman rescuing a horse:
"Hey quit that!" Her shout raspy, she banged the gate with the side of the pitchfork. (p. 25)
The horse has always represented passion and desire in literature, and A 3rd Time to Die is no exception. Ashley's new horse brings her excitement and energy into her life and allows a new relationship to flourish. Ashley is revitalised and energised by rescuing the horse; it also brings into sharp relief the way her life has changed. Ashley is an engaging character who knows her own mind and who is financially independent. She feels a great deal, but takes a long time to act on these feelings: this is Ashley Easton's challenge.

Torment by Lauren Kate
The first book was a little too slow-paced for my taste, liking the second book so far.
