Currently I am reading Geek Magnet by Kieran Scott. It has been rather enjoyable so far.

I just finished Afterlife by Claudia Gray, which I thought was REALLY good! So if you're not too tired of vampire books (which are annoyingly overplayed now I know),you should checkout the Evernight Series :) And I am starting Darkest Mercy by Melissa Marr

On Fiday finally came me City of Fallen Angels by Cassie Clare, so I´m reading this and I love it! .
Patti wrote: "^ I'm really excited for this one. Tell us what you think!"SO.. What I think?
I think that I´m falling in love with this book! :)
Alright now I'm convinced to get COFA. City of Glass was one of the most amazing books I've ever read and I wasn't sure COFA would live up to it.

It´s looks interesting, I like these books too, so it´s in my "to read" shelf.
I thought COFA was very good. Got a while to wait for the next one. Really need to get started on that time machine...lolJust started Water Wars by Cameron Stracher. I picked it up because of the pretty cover.
I heard Cassandra Clare is alternating which books come out, so an Infernal Device is next then a Mortal Instrument. I think...does anyone know?
Yeah, the next Infernal Device book, Clockwork Prince, comes out in December and heard about a year from now for the next Mortal Instruments.
Can't wait for Clockwork Prince! Since Will majorly got on my nerves in Clockwork angel.

I know, I know, I still have my beloved Nevermore, but, scanning my bookshelf, I found that I had several other books with bookmarks in them that I've completely forgotten.

Really? I liked Will even though he was a huge jerk at the end.

Jem was very …. different (view spoiler) I still like him as a character, but he didn't have a lot of dimension.

I love these books, but they always take an me incredibly long time to read for some reason, so this should keep me going for a month or so.

How was Fallen Angel? I have it on my bookshelf, but keep finding others I want to read more. I just read Nevermore-Loved it!
Has anyone read Where She Went? It was so good I couldn't concentrate on anything else for a couple of days.
Reading Bodyfinder now. Another one I had put off, but I really like it.
^the Body Finder was really good!

Alright. *Intake of deep breath* I loved the Body Finder immensely! Especially the entire "best friend" relationship with the mystery, Fallen Angels was...well it can be annoying at times and is certainly fast-paced in my opinion but really is a good book that cuts you off at the end. I just hate cliffhangers but I'm glad to have read it. As for Nevermore....didn't it capture you in?? I feel that Isobel is very realistic so far! And despite his appearance-*cough cough* Patti *cough cough*-Varen is very tempting. ;^)
Just finshed
and my do I have to say it? Welcome to Wonderland Alice! Or should I say Theia? The darkness... The temptation... The all-consuming nightmares... The side-relationships... And oh the skeletons~! This book definitely is a must read for all you fairytale lovers!
Currently sucked into
and...oh my goodness gracious...I just stepped into hell...And I'm having a realistic blast!

Alright alright I'm sorry, but a goth guy and cheerleader? And Varen:Raven? It sounds cliche. But I could be wrong, it sounds ok. Maybe it'll find it's way onto my currently reading shelf sometime.
Just read the description of The Demon Trapper's Daughter. Is that a love square?

So far...I only see one potential love and one whom they both believe is just a brother, even though he's not related. This book seriously is hard-core tragedy with no sign of hope, even when its there its always ripped away. So far I've cried and cursed.
@Patti-I was right there with you as far as Nevermore was concerned. I can't tell you how many times the cover piqued my interest, but then I would read the description and put it right back on the shelf. I really loved it. I could kick myself for all those times I passed it up. And Varen is totally hot if you like tall, dark & intense ;)
Alright you guys have convinced me! I like Poe anyway, it was just the description that threw me off. I must admit that the cover is really nice. Tall, dark, and intense. He's not Edward-y is he? Is it love at first sight?
YAY PATTI!!!!!!!!!! :D I really hope you enjoy it!...Reading
Oh, to add to the mountain of books that I have on my shelf that I have yet to read!!!!!!!! GAH! Oh, well. D:
haha thanks Kim! Definitely post what you think about the Dark and Hollow Places. I'm dying to get my hands on that one!
I just finished Sing Me to Sleep and at first I didn't think I would cry. Then the end came and I bawled like a baby! It was so good. Thanks for recommending it, I would have never come across it had you guys not mentioned it!
Just finished The Demon Trapper's Daughter. And I'll be honest that this book is HIGHLY recommended! So real that I can't describe it well enough! How does one describe life?-THEY CAN'T! So this book is similar there.
(I hate this cover and like the other one better though)

Just got done reading
and
. Both were better than I expected! :DNow reading
and it's pretty gosh darn funny right now and I'm only on page 50! :D@Patti: I am SO glad that you liked "Sing Me to Sleep"! One of my favorites.
Reading:

I have mixed feelings going into this, for what can ever top the Darkest Powers trilogy? Though I am interested in Project Phoenix…Phoenix as in extinct powers rising again. That was a big giveaway. There's also Valhalla and Thunderbird, though I have no idea what kind of supernaturals they'll have. Crossing my fingers for some previous character drop-ins!

I'm almost done with Across the Universe which I'm really enjoying.Next is one of these:
City of Ashes (and nope! I haven't read it yet!), Sing Me to Sleep, Starcrossed (which I preordered for my Kindle), The Gathering or The Magnolia League
@Caryn- I recently read Sing Me to Sleep and I loved it! Definitely recommending it!

. Apparently it doesn't have and ending…?

Dark and Hollow places was very good. Tied the stories together in an interesting way.Reading Desires of the Dead. Really love these characters!
The host makes me scream and yell threats in public which is normal, but Caryn, you haaaaaave to read city of ashes!! Cuz when you're done that then you can move onto City of glass which is the best out of the three!!!!!!!!!
I'm reading A Great and Terrible Beauty by Libba Bray.
I absolutely LOVE it so far!!!!!
I absolutely LOVE it so far!!!!!
Glad to hear you're enjoying it! It was one of my favorite series. I cried at the end of the third!
Yeah! I finished it, and it was awesome. I read Rebel Angels, too, and I'm now reading The Sweet Far Thing. Thanks for the warning about the ending!! :)
Just finished
. Very quick and interesting read. The last five or so pages will leave you slightly shocked. Very good contemporary about high school. Starting

I couldn't get into that. Are you liking it?
I definitely couldn't get into EYES LIKE STARS! Maybe it was because I didn't like the style? Who knows.

I have never been able to concentrate on just one book at a time for some reason so right now I am reading: The Perks of Being a Wallflower
&
Lucky Man: A Memoir
Hmm tell me how the Perks of Being a Wallflower goes. The movie has some of my favorite actors in it and I was wondering how good the book would be.
