That is my next book to read....im excited to see what its about!


Really? that one pretty much grabbed me from the get go. But, if you aren't hooked yet just give it some time. If I recall correctly it was not a slow paced or actionless book. So, give it some more time...you'll get there ;)



Have any of you read this series 'The missing'. It's a really great juvenille series about time travel. If you have younger kids (pre-teens) I would highly recommend it. Torn is the 4th book.

I actually didn't get into it until about partway through the book. The beginning was hard for me to get through.
I just finished





Wasn't it great? The author just never seemed to hit a wrong note. It's such a nice experience to read something that flows so effortlessly, instead of cringing and squirming and trying to pick out the good bits of a story. I hope they do a good job with the eventual film version. It should make for great action!

The missing series is a great series for the juvenile crowd. I recommend it all the time.








I can't wait to get my hands on




blood red rode going to be a movie?!?!? thats so exciting i love that book:)




I'm reading that right now too! :)

Once I got to chapter 14 I was completely hooked. For me, after thinking about it, I felt like he was writing Thomas's emotion about it exactly how I felt reading it. Thomas was confused and frustrated and so was I. Then when everything started to click into place when Teresa showed up it clicked for me too. It was brilliant writing and I LOVED it. so worth the frustration in the beginning.


Yes, it's going to be a movie! Ridley Scott already bought the movie rights. Yay. :)


Ahhh! Mine just came in today. I'm at work at the library so it's very tempting to go find a shadowy corner somewhere and "familiarize myself with the collection." But for now I'm contenting myself with carrying it around like it's My Precious. I can't wait to see what Han is up to. Happy reading!




I'll start by mentioning that I thought this was the last book in a trilogy. So, imagine my surprise as I'm reaching the end and chapters are dwindling and things just aren't being resolved and the bad guys are still there. Yeah, I was a bit confused...to say the least. With that said, it was pure awesomeness!!! In all honesty, it wasn't my favorite of the series. I really loved the Exiled Queen. however it was still great and a lot of interesting new devolopments take place as well as some questions answered, secrets revealed. Yeah, it was pretty great. And, it sets up for a Kick Ass final novel. I.Can't.Wait.



If you like Rachel Mead you might like the Kitty Norville series by Carrie Vaughn, the focus is mainly on werewolves but there are vampires too!




Finally, I'm getting around..."
I just finished it early this morning and really liked it. Now I really can't wait for the finished version so I can buy it and read it again to find out if anything was changed from the ARC.

I read all of the books in the "Uglies" series. I really enjoyed them and "Matched" was, I agree, okay. Nothing too spectacular. I am also looking forward to the sequel just because I always try to read sequels if I liked a first book even a little bit. lol.

What's the book format that the Nook uses? Can you use something like Calibre to convert them to whatever format you need? Like from epub to Nook format or whatever? I use a tablet pc as my ereader along with Aldiko as my ereader app and all my ebooks must be in .epub format so I just use Calibre to convert the books I buy if they're not epubs already such as any books off Amazon that are meant for Kindle.

This is a prime example of why I decided against a Kindle. Although the being able to read in the daylight aspect is a very nice perk! On that I'm jealous. lol.


Aside from YA dystopian bo..."
Ooh! I LOVED all the books in the "Gone" series and kept singing their praises to my comic-book collector of a boyfriend and all his gamer friends; some of which did, actually go out and buy the first book because they checked out from the library like I did and enjoyed it enough to want their own copy. Not sure if they got the other books in the series though but I know they enjoyed them. Well, to each their own. XD!

Oh, that's a wonderful series. I devoured all three of the books in the trilogy like nothing flat. Perfect for when you crave some good zombie lit.

I also like to read the reviews of books before I actually read the book. My name has an 'i' instead of a 'y' but I think we're onto something here. Hehe.

I keep trying to start Blood Red Road, but I get tripped up by the writing (the accent). Honestly, its driving me a little crazy. Does it eventually change narrators? I'm thisclose to giving up entirely!


I'm reading

I'm not sure what to read now....just biding my time until the Death Cure comes out!

I didn't care for Water Wars too much, but I found myself thinking about more and more a few months later...so I upped my stars. :)

Don't worry - you won't be disappointed with Deadline. Like Feed, it takes a little while to get into things.




Ohhh,






I love that series. It's awesome. Honestly, City of Ashes was probably my least favorite of the first three, but it's still really good. I just felt like it started off a little slower than the first book. But, City of Glass is AMAZING and my favorite. You can read Clockwork Angel before or after...it honestly won't make much of a difference. ENJOY! ;)
