Thanks! I look forward to reading them. I think that Sisterhood will be great summer reads.


Awesomevegan (AKA JenReads) (awesomevegan) | 325 comments I currently have checked out from my library:
ebook: Shadow Souls (The Vampire Diaries The Return, #2) by L.J. Smith
audio: Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist by Rachel Cohn The Sea of Monsters (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, #2) by Rick Riordan The Capture (Guardians of Ga'Hoole, #1) by Kathryn Lasky Lucinda's Secret (Spiderwick Chronicles, #3) by Holly Black The Ironwood Tree (The Spiderwick Chronicles, #4) by Holly Black The Wrath of Mulgarath (The Spiderwick Chronicles, #5) by Holly Black Wings (Wings, #1) by Aprilynne Pike

I have a lot of reading/listening to do! I have only finished Nick and Nora so far and have Shadow Souls in progress. I also have some others in progress in paper and ebook but may still try to listen to Spiderwick soon since they are short.

message 867: by Ali (new)

Ali | 106 comments The Bronze Horseman and loving it. Although this is not a YA book it does showcase a Russian girl growing up during the outbreak of WW2. I started it on Saturday night basically couldn't put it down. About 3/4's of the way through it right now. I've really been hitting about every emotion throughout the book: anger, sadness, joy, fear, etc..


message 868: by Gwennie (new)

Gwennie (blessedwannab) It seems like no matter what group I am in, someone is talking about this book. I'm going to have to eventually read it, since I bought it.

Claire (claireh90) | 5 comments I picked up Wither (Chemical Garden, #1) by Lauren DeStefano at Barnes and Noble this morning and am about 50 pages in. Not sure how I feel about it just yet!


message 870: by Gwennie (new)

Gwennie (blessedwannab) That sounds great! I don't have the sequel yet, but I have the first one. That's where I first heard about it was in my Outlander group. It would be fun to read it together. Can you let me know when you have it?
