Just got a copy of and will start reading it as soon as I feel well enough (yay being sick!)

[Samantha]

still reading
i'm about 233 pages into it and I'm loving it... I can't wait to be done with my homework and housework and Trueblood to be over with so I can read some more of it.

[Jennifer]

I'm reading The Confessions of Catherine de Medici , Sizzling Sixteen, Voodoo River and The Union Quilters: An Elm Creek Quilts Novel.

I'm enjoying the Medici-- I recently read Jeanne kalogridis' book on the same subject and it's interesting to see how the two authors emphasize different events from the same life.

I finished and now reading

[Eleanor]

Reading right now - loving it!!! Stand By Me meets Holes.

Just finished reading Graffiti Moon by Cath Crowley. It was amazing.

[Salem]

Reading , , , and .

After the fire is really emotional and it's hard to read a lot at once, but I'm liking it. The Vinyl princess is an easy read, but I'm not fully into it yet. Northern Lights is huge (over 500 pages), but it's an easy read. I've never read a Nora Roberts book before, but someone gave it to me, so I'm trying it. Can you keep a secret is really similar to the shopoholic books, but it's a quick read, too.

[Samantha]

ok I finally finished then whipped right through and now on page 90 of

[Rachel]

Nice! They sure are good aren't they?

Rachel wrote: "Nice! They sure are good aren't they?"

Those are amazing. One of my favorite UFs of all time.

[Jennifer]

Just finished Gone with the Windsors . Good book but my god, Wallis Warfield Simpson was annoying and selfish. I read a bio of her about 25 years ago and thought the same thing then.

[Shay]

I'm reading:
- it's really good- and I'm kind of getting tired of YA paranormal.

- about Boudica, the Celtic Warrior Queen. A little slow to start, but interesting.

- the latest Beatrix Potter mystery.

- I just started it, but I'm scratching my head as to how it made the Man Booker Shortlist this year. It's not bad, it's just not great (so far).

[Sashana]

I'm looking forward to reading Anna Dressed in Blood.

[Jennifer]

Second Chance , The Beach House and Lola Carlyle Reveals All . I'm in the mood for some light reads.

[Shay]

Sashana wrote: "I'm looking forward to reading Anna Dressed in Blood."

It was really good. I think the best paranormal type book I've read this year. I would say that this book and Divergent were the two best YA books released this year (that I've read).

[Aneeqah]

I've heard lots of things about Anna Dressed in Blood. I'm glad to hear you liked it! I'm excited to get my hands on it. The cover is just amazing.

[Jennifer]

Started Becoming Marie Antoinette yesterday. I'm about 20% in and really enjoying it so far. It's concentrating on her life before France at this point, which isn't usually the part of her life you get much exposure to.

[Jennifer]

I'm reading Something Blue , which is surprising to me since I couldn't stand Darcy Rhone when I read Something Borrowed and I still can't stand her. But I picked it up in the barnes & noble last week and read 20 pages of it and now here I am.

Read the blurb. It sounds creepy!

This weekend I decided to buckle down and read the library books I had checked out back in the summer (and have library fines both paid and unpaid for).

I read:

The Snow Queen by Mercedes Lackey, which was about as much as I had expected from her

Wither by Lauren DeStefano, which was a decent read (meant to join the buddy read but didn't get around to reading it then)

The Viking Takes a Knight by Sandra Hill, which was a little too ridiculous for my taste

I also finished:

When Beauty Tamed the Beast by Eloisa James, which I got from Paperbackswap for a challenge in another group and thoroughly enjoyed

and

Baby, I'm Yours by Stephanie Bond, which was from my huge freebie TBR pile

I'm working on finishing:

Veil of Shadows by Shiloh Walker, which I will hopefully manage to finish this time

as well as

Magic to the Bone by Devon Monk

[Jex]

Haven't posted here in awhile, so here's my latest:

Took awhile for me to get into it, but glad I kept with it. I'm interested to see what happens in the sequel.

Good book. Loved Lend! Was a little bummed with the overly angelic ending, but overall liked the book and the storyline.

Loved this book! A vampire posed theif who finds out that some military operations is trying to harvest vampire powers. Can't wait to read the 2nd in the series (which I just bought and got signed by Cherie Priest *squeee*)

2nd in the fallen series. I'm not completely hooked to this series, but I like it enough to want to read the next one. I find the pace too slow overall.

And finally, I'm reading now:
Just started this yesterday and it seems pretty good so far. It gives me the Davincci Code feel as Julie goes out to find her family secret.

[Sashana]

It seems a lot of people feel that way about Juliet, Jex. I think I may have to read The Da Vinci Code afterall.

I couldn't get into Fallen so I don't know if I'll ever read Torment.

[Jex]

Torment was better then Fallen in my opinion, but not drastically better.

[Samantha]

still reading I like read a few pages here and there but I end up wanting to fall asleep. I'm also still reading this is also taking me a minute cause of the other book. but no matter what I gotta be done with the Castro book on SUnday cause the paper is due on Sunday and I am hoping to be done with Hot Blooded tonight.

[Jennifer]

Started and finished a play by John Galsworthy today -- Loyalties :: a drama in three acts / which is about a successful Jewish British businessman who accuses an acquaintance-- not Jewish, not successful, but upper class and a member of the same clubs-- of theft. Of course, since dueling is passee, it must be resolved in a defamation court case. The title stems from a theme found in the other characters-- other members of the clubs the pro- and antagonists belong to, who have reason to believe the accused is guilty but are reluctant to take the side of the Jew against one of their own.

[Shadow Jubilee]

I read:

which was fun.

which I could tell was an earlier work of the author's. I don't know how to describe it. I guess you could say that it was less polished, more...clumsy, and less focused than her later works. But I still enjoyed it.

which was a sweet m/m romance between two high school seniors. I liked the author's voice.

I'm currently reading:

. I send belated apologies to those I had intended to join in the buddy read. It's okay so far but everything seems so...sanitized (okay, I confess to those who read my review for the first book: I'm rereading Special Forces Soldiers this time around too!) that (view spoiler)[ although Meg is supposedly feeling driven by the thought that she might have to kill someone to possibly save her daughter and grandmother, (hide spoiler)] I don't feel it. I don't feel the emotions. I don't feel like she will do it. I want to feel her emotions: her desperation, her fear, her dread that she might have to take the final step, her exhaustion. I want to feel her on the verge of cracking. But I don't feel anything. I do like the grandmother's history being interwoven. It's quite lovely although I wonder at its presence at the same time.

[Samantha]

I finished good book, going to finish the very long but I'm also like half way through also another good book, keeps you occupied when you have a sick kid in the middle of the night.

[Jex]

Just finished . I thought it was pretty good. Loved the author's version of Romeo and Juliet plus so many twists and turns!

Now to read which is an ARC I was given to review. The summary sounds intriguing.

[Samantha]

finished and now reading

[Kristen]

I am finally reading Twilight - I just have to see what all the hype is about and haven't had a chance to read it before now.

I wish that everyone could have read Twilight before the hype (both negative and positive). I think it's hard to stay unbiased after everything.

[Kristen]

I'm hopefully going in to it relatively unbiased. I honestly haven't heard too much about it except everyone I know LOVES it, but I have never pressed for details because I hate spoilers. I haven't seen any of the movies either. I like it so far, but I'm only 39 pages into it too. It's a new genre for me because I don't usually read fantasy type books.

[Samantha]

I hope you like it I did, it's what got me back into reading.

[Sashana]

I'm reading Sisterhood Everlasting and it's bittersweet for me. Over the course of the series I really fell in love with the characters and the bond that they have with each other. I feel like this book is changing my perception of each character, and not in a good way. Also reading Withering Tights which I am not enjoying at all. I get that the writing style is supposed to be lax and humorous but its not doing anything for me.

[Shadow Jubilee]

I started reading which I thought would be appropriate for Halloween. It's entertaining so far. I like the author's voice. I'm thinking I ought to have read the first book first though; this is the second and references events that had happened in the first book. I think it could stand alone though.

I gave up on . It was not dangerously funny. It was not even remotely funny.

Both were freebies.

Glad to hear that you liked it, Sammie! I am a little ways into it now and I do really like it so far.

yeah I was reluctant at first cause of all the bad reviews but I enjoyed it.

[Lacey]

Finished and

And now I'm just starting which is okay so far but haven't read much yet...

[Shadow Jubilee]

I'm working on

and .

The Fashion Police is okay. It's pretty funny. Not exactly my cup of tea perhaps. It's a chick-lit mystery. Like the British voice. Interested in the mystery. Wish there was more focus on that than on the chick-litty stuff.

Gone Too Far - err, I kind of got a little impatient. The author kept dumping many different POVs, and I got sick of her constantly putting in a WWII storyline in these books. I skimmed through the book to the end, but I'll have to go back and finish it properly - if not soon, then after I've read Books 3-5 first.

[Samantha]

finished pretty good, I wish there was more to the jeaniene's frost story like more books in that world i would most definitely read more of it. THe other two were good as well, and will read more of these authors as well, but just like any other anthology they are rushed and leave you hanging for more. Now I am reading however is which is good so far but taking me a minute to remember what had happened in the last book, I probably should've done a re-read of it before hand but oh well now I remember what happened, and it's too late lol.

[Rachel]

I finished a few days ago. I loved it. It only took me three days to finsh, which is really good considering the older I get the less time I have to read. I usually average a book a week now. :(

I am reading now. Liking it a lot.

[Samantha]

finished it was pretty anti-climatic for a last book I think, I wasn't impressed with this one, I think it was missing something. Now I'm reading

[Lacey]

Sammie =^.^= wrote: "finished it was pretty anti-climatic for a last book I think, I wasn't impressed with this one, I think it was missing something. Now I'm reading [bookcover:Storm Glass|6..."

Yeah, I thought it was missing something too, Shiver definately was the best out of the series for me :)

Btw, love Storm Glass can't wait to see how you take to it.

[Samantha]

I don't know I think Linger was my favorite out of the series, I was so excited to read Forever and then I found myself skipping over skimming over some parts because it was a snooze. And I loved the Study series, so I'm sure I will love the glass series.

[Sashana]

I read Beautiful Disaster a few days ago and I LOVED it. If anyone is looking for a contemporary romance then you should check it out.

a. I loved that the protagonist was in college, so it’s a very mature YA (which reads like adult fiction)

b. I'm surprised that the book is self-published because 1. the cover is gorgeous and 2. it was well written. I think a lot of Indie books get bad press and I'm glad I read this one to prove that self-published books can be great.

[Jex]

Finished recently:
Great book about virtual reality work place and murder.

(audiobook) Short story that was free on audible. It was alright. Nothing that blew me away.

(audiobook) I think I missed some important plot points because I zoned out or something because things didn't seem to make that much sense toward the end. Meh. It happens with me and audiobooks :-P

Now reading:
- Liking it so far.

- Abby Normal is the most annoying narrator ever created! The plot line is supposed to be funny, but I can't get the grating valley girl speak out of my head! The parts that she isn't narrating aren't too bad, but overall still not an amazing plot. We'll see if it change.

[Sashana]

Jex, out of curiosity do you listen to audio books on a CD, cassette, or mp3 player?

[Jex]

Actually I tend to listen to them on my phone. I can load books from audible or overdrive (which I've found a lot for free) right on to the phone. Every once in awhile I'll do CDs if i get it from the library and then either load it on my computer or just listen to it in the car. I really don't listen to too many audiobooks in the grand scheme of things though.

[Sashana]

Okay I was just wondering because I'm having a hard time transferring Overdrive audiobooks to my iTouch. I might have to search on Youtube to see if I come up with anything.

[Jex]

What kind of trouble? Do you get an error message or just can't find how? Also, did you download the overdrive app to the itouch?
