What are you reading AND what do you think?
I like the Magicians although it is definitely a slower paced book. It's like an adult chronicles of narnia. I've got about 50 pages left and then I'll weigh in.

Manipulating the List.Received the book free for review. Katherine leads a very interesting life to say the least she actually could see and became friends with the collector who collects souls of the deceased. To find she is going to be one of the souls collected which has her going to taking a trip to Australia, fall in love. Which is wonderful but it does not end there. The person she falls for is another collector. I recommend this book as a good read.

.Katherine in this book is learning all about being a collector and it means to be one. She also has found out that the man she loved is not a collector and that is a whole other story. This is certainly a must read.

I am reading
and so far, I am loving it. It is sad that this is the last book in the Infernal Devices series. Hopefully, once they are done with the City of Bones movie and the rest of the series, they will think to make a movie about the Infernal Devices.

I finished
and was vastly disappointed. Just as I started to get into the story, like the characters, and get excited about the turn of events, the story just ends! Sooooooo frustrating! And the next book isn't written yet so you can't read it even if you wanted to. No climax, no ending, no point. I also finished
and really liked it. I liked the reality of the story, that magic can't solve your problems like in so many other stories. No matter if you find what your heart most desires (a magical world) it may not be what makes you happy. Some see this as depressing, I see this as realism, and I liked it. Books I'm Working Through:

I'm currently reading 11/22/63 by Stephen King. It's been sat on my bookshelf for months, I'd kept putting it off because the size of it seemed so daunting but now I've started it I can't put it down! It's fantastic!I'm a big Stephen King fan as it is, but this book has really exeeded my expectations so far!! Currently around page 350 so a way to go yet...
