I started reading
yesterday at work. I know this is silly but I was hesitant to start because because I was thinking of the water horses as a Loch Ness Monster type thing and not actually a horse so I wasn't sure I'd be into it, lol.
I think part of what made the Scorpio Races so wonderful for me was that it was refreshingly original. So much of the mythological and paranormal stuff has been done to death. The water horses were a totally new thing for me and I thought they were incredibly interesting. I also just love the overall story and I LOVE Sean and Puck. They are one of my favorite literary couples ;)
Right now I'm reading
, and
. I'm struggling with
and I think I've given up on some of the other books on my currently reading list.

and loving it!"I loved the first one! Getting ready to read the second soon. I heard there are supposed to be 5 books total in the series but her publishers aren't interested in continuing them right now. They better change their minds eventually or I am going to be really upset!

Mine too!
I tried GRACELING once and just couldn't get into it. But then that type of fantasy has never been my thing!
I just finished
and was really impressed by it. Last I checked it was free for your kindle and I can't recommend it enough. Totally unique vampire plotline. It's been awhile since I could say that.Now I'm starting
and am really looking forward to it.

And, White Cat is awesome!

GRACELING!!! I love Katsa and Po:) One of my favorite books, ever!
Reading
and
...I will find the time!I really like Night Circus so far. Very different and original.

I am reading
too and it is wonderful. It is taking me a while to get through it. I am finding that I want to savor it instead of rushing like I usually do. I definitely recommend it though.
Finished
today. Pretty good, but it just seems like this story will go on forever. What more can they do to these kids? Just started
.
I think Maze Runner is next on my list. I've heard good things...
David wrote: "I think Maze Runner is next on my list. I've heard good things..."DUDE! DO IT! :) SOOO GOOD!
Finished
and absolutely loved it. Probably going to order the second one with my next paycheck. Now I'm reading
but I'm not loving it and there are so many other books calling out to me.

I have just started reading
its the first book in the Firstborn Trilogy which is a spin off/sister series to The Daughters Of Saraqael Series. I haven't read The Daughters Of Saraqael so hopefully it will not make much of a difference. there is a bit of a glossary and who is who etc at the beginning aimed at those who haven't read The Daughters Of Saraqael Series.

Yes, The Maze Runner is really great! I'm not really finished with the first book yet, but I'm already awestruck and amazed by James Dashner.

I think with Fear, they are gonna put the kids on display until they can take care of the dome. I just felt like a lot of things were left hanging. Did you write a review?

I don't know if it was bc the chapters were short or what. It was a bit strange but I pushed through and two things happened: it ended well but then I saw it was going to be a trilogy, which meant a lot of open ends.
Good luck though if you do press on.
I finished Legend this morning and currently reading Crossed. I really enjoyed Legend and enjoying Crossed as well!

:)
Ooh yes, Scorpio Races is one of my favorite books!!
David wrote: "Ooh yes, Scorpio Races is one of my favorite books!!"Me too!! Awesome book :)
Finished

, which I also loved. It was short and sweet and really cute.Now I'm starting
I am reading
it has suspense, intrigue, and a countdown going on but a countdown to what?
Jen wrote: "Just starting

About to start Maze Runner, so excited !!
David wrote: "About to start Maze Runner, so excited !!"There we go!!! :D You start, I finish.
Get ready for a roller coaster ride David!
Currently reading Towards Yesterday and loving it. Just when I thought every angle of time travel and the apocalypse had been covered...
Am now reading
the cover is really fitting as being the main character of the book I am only 23% through the book too.
I'm reading
and I have no idea why. It's just as weird and annoying as Bumped but I feel like I should finish it.
