I'm currently reading
, and I'm at about page 130. The premise sounded great, but right now, the main character is a whiny little brat. Plus, the ever popular love triangle is starting to play in. I don't mind a well-executed love triangle, but this one is not at all well executed so far.
Just finished:
I wasn't a big fan of this book. Seemed to drag on with no real surprises or emotion. I was just bored. Currently Reading:
I love this book so far. It's a very easy read and easy to get into quickly. I'm only about 15% into it but can't wait to read the rest.
Still working my way through this. It seems to always be on the back burner. Maybe I should just actually read it already. It's not even that it's bad, I just haven't felt the want to read it. *shrugs*
Jex, (view spoiler) didn't surprise you? I'm glad you're finished, I could tell that you were struggling every time you updated your progress.
Almost finished and it is hard to get through. I find myself cringing for this little girl. And while you can tell that she is not a professional writer, it has an air of honesty and innocence to it that makes it just the more engrossing. If it had been written by a professional writer I feel it would have lost some of the power of the story.
I agree with you Jex. I also hated the way in which the author killed Emma. I read much better tragic love stories, but I thought the book was interesting.I am currently reading
Not in love with the series but its pretty good. I am enjoying all the drama, lol.
I'm reading
which was supposed to be my first book of 2012 but I was so bored I decided to start it. I'm enjoying it so far.
Laura- I think your post(about One Day) needs a spoiler..I for one haven't read that book yet and it seems like a very big spoiler ...
Well this is the 3rd book in the series so any spoiler I post about this specific book may not make sense unless you read the other two first but.....(view spoiler)
That is just a small sampling of some of the stuff that goes on in this book.
Every now and then I pick up several books at once and find in some way they intersect. At the moment I'm reading Evenings With Cary Grant: Recollections in His Own Words and by Those Who Knew Him Best
and
Once Upon a Time: Behind the Fairy Tale of Princess Grace and Prince Rainier where the connection between the two is obvious. I find I'm also drawn to start Fellow Travelers
which if I recall what I read about it correctly is also about the 1950s. Hoping to make some headway into that tonight so we'll see.
Yep, the spoiler about One Day definitely needed an alert attached to it. lol I haven't read it yet, but was planning on it. No worries though because I'm sure I will still get around to reading it sometime. :o)
Finished Recently:
- Loved it! A great appetizer to the next book in the series. Also a great find as it was free on amazon. Reading Now:
- I'm only a chapter or two from the end of this one and have loved every minute of it. I don't really understand what the cover has to do with the storyline, but meh. Starting Soon:
- we'll see if this is any good.
I just started Juliet Immortal. I like it enough to not stop reading but so far still uncertain if it is going to be just an interesting read or a book I fall in love with.
Reading
which is based on one of my favorite TV shows of all time. I've had a few laughs so far but I don't think Monk could ever fully come alive on paper, he needs the screen. It's told from Julie's, his personal assistant, perspective. I really wish it could have been told in Monk's perspective because I'd love to know what goes on in his head.
I'm not that far into like 103 pages into it.... and I'm conflicted I like Ren at least right now, but i'm curious about Shay.
I'm currently reading
and I'm not quite sure I like it, I'm only 1 chapter in though so we'll have to see, I'm also reading
and this is a reread for me but I thoroughly enjoyed it the first time :)

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/10... My favorite book series right now! I hope the author writes another book soon.
How do you copy and paste the small picture of the book to your comment? I've been trying different things and and still haven't figured it out.
~ How to Add a Bookcover Link ~ • Click on the "add book/author link above the text box which you're typing in for the discussion.
• Notice a search box or “look-up” opens up and at the bottom the words
add: ⦿ link 〇coverThe little blue dot is will always first default to link unless you click on cover.
• Type in the title you of the book you desire, and click "search".
• Click on the "add" button next to the option you want to include and the html for the cover will appear in your text box.
• Make sure that "cover" is chosen before you click the big “search” button, but if you forget, you can always put your cursor after the word “book” and before the colon: in the link and the bookcover will appear.
I'll put an asterisk* in the code so you can see the book numbers are the same:
[*book:Through a Dark Mist|7776013]
[*bookcover:Through a Dark Mist|7776013]
Results :
Through a Dark Mist = link
= bookcover link• If the bookcover that appears is not the one you want, simply click on "other editions" right under the add button. Page numbers are at the bottom of the "look-up". Browse until you find the cover you desire.
• Do a preview, if you like. Just click (preview) in parentheses in light grey to the right of the big post button.
Hope this helps!
Finished reading
yesterday. Very, very awkward, crazy, and somewhat pointless book, but scarily I liked it. I would really LOVE to know what goes on in Nicholson Baker's head...Started reading
today. Great so far.

I'm reading
and it's definitely not your typical erotica. It has some very f-upped characters (well, character) and I can't help feeling disturbed and sorry for them. I suppose this book gives a more insight full look on why some people like bsdm and why they gain pleasure from it.
Just picked up
. Getting prepared to read the next in the series next month. Its the only one my library didn't have.

I don't know why its taking me forever to read it I'm enjoying it mostly.
Thanks, Lisa Kay for the helpful information on adding the book cover link. Shashana: Everyone I know loves
, I'm also reading it but I don't get their overwhelming passion for it. I think it's good, but not great.
I'm reading
and it's a reread, I loved it the first time and I'm loving it even more this time around.

I'm currently reading
and so far I'm continually laughing my butt off, every page has something funny on it.
= Absolutely love this book and keep reading ahead of the group. About 150 pages until the end. Can't wait to see what happens!
- I'm about 30% into this book so far and nothing has really happened. It kind of got put on pause because I started reading Feed and it took all my attention :-P
I love
too, Jex. I am almost right at 100 pages until I am finished. I can't put it down!Also just started
. Not sure how I feel about it yet.
- So far I really like it. A gigantic difference from the Twilight books for sure, and much more mature and intrguing. Though I am getting a bit sick of Wanderer, seriously its been 500 pages let's grow a tiny bit of a backbone lol.
Finished:
= absolutely loved it! It made me cry. Can't wait to get my hands on Deadline.Working my way through:
= Working my way slowly through. After reading Feed I just can't get into anything else at the moment.
