You all have to read this! Especially if you like mermaids. Or sirens. Or selkies. Great. Book.


I bet my daughter puts that one on her wishlist ...me too we have been looking for a good mermaid/selkie one


Update: It's done and was just as lovely as all her other books but just a heads up, there are some zombies if you don't like that kind of thing. They aren't that bad but they are there.


I thought that was a decent book. I just finished

I'm thinking of starting











Angels of the night is pretty good so far, but I'm having a hard time getting into Stolen away.




Pandemonium is due out in 2012 and am lucky enough to have read an ARC of it and that is even better

I'll be honest, I know several people who LOVE this book. I don't think I'm one of them. I'm struggling to stay engaged enough with the story to read. I'll continue it, but I hope it gets better soon.







Also just finished


Next is The Dark and Hollow Places I read Forest of Hands and Teeth a long time ago and hadn't looked for any of the sequels. Just finished The Dead-Tossed Waves earlier this week and figured out why I hadn't thought of Forest of Hands and Teeth as a zombie novel. I read it quite a while ago. They called them "the unconsecrated" and didn't use "zombie"... guess I could have put 2 and 2 together, but I hate math.




On to the last in the trilogy :(



Bethany - you should check out the Talisman Series by the author of Everblue. IT is about vampires and I really enjoyed it.
I just finished reading


I'm getting ready to start reading





Awesome! Finnikin is my all time favorite book. I was so excited when I learned it was to be a trilogy. I loved Froi. My expectations were super high and it did not disappoint me. But, I agree, it's gonna be really hard to wait for Quintana of Charyn. But, it's one of those series that is worth the wait, in my opinion :)





I just got


Still working on







Wasn't Eona awesome?! Such a good book.
I just finished







I have my Dust & Decay sitting on the shelf too, I keep forgetting about it and deciding to read somethings else. Let me know if it's as great as the first one!



I liked it. Not as much as Rot & Ruin but it was still really good.



It is


Yes. Read it. Do it! I enjoyed the book immensely, despite a few faults. Enjoy! :D


I started



I know, right. I think I did cry!! Wasn't that awful?! I'm glad you liked the book. I actually really enjoyed it when I read it. After a little time and reflection, I realized it was a pretty typical dystopian. There weren't really any new themes, it was like everything we've seen before with little alterations here and there. But I definitely have a habit of picking books apart once I come down from the initial high, lol. But, I know I was really happy with it when I finished, and it had that horrible cliffhanger of an ending, so I am actually really looking forward to the next book.









Enjoy the Maze Runner! It was a great read. I think it was one of the first really creepy post-apocalyptic books I read and it freaked me right out.


I heard that one wasn't very good, you'll have to let me know.

Haha, I'm reading survival too! I didn't finish it in one sitting, but I did read most of it today. I really like the concept, but I think the writing is poor. I've come across a lot of incorrect grammar. The sentences don't flow. The conversations are choppy. And I don't like the way the author overlaps each storyline. This book could have been really great, but its just been kinda mediocre for me.
