I'm enjoying Golden Lily so far. Fun to see Sydney work through her social anxiety.

Me too. Don't know if I could stand that a second time. :(
Just this minute finished
Wow what can I say it's YA at it's best! Loved it will be putting my full review on Goodreads tomorrow!
I just finished
a few minutes ago. SUCH a good book! Now I have to decide what to read next and hope that it doesn't pale in comparison to such an amazing book *__*

I had borrowed it and didn't have enough time. But what I read seemed really interesting and very original in concept.
You should check out
It just came out and its written by a member of our group here so it's kinda special. Plus it sounds amazing. I just downloaded it on kindle and it's only $2.99. (Shout out to David!) I'm gonna embarrass him, but that's okay :)

That's such a shame. The second half of the book is where the story really picks up pace and sheds light on the confusing minutia of the first. You should try to finish it some time!
And I'd be happy to support a member of the group! I'll definitely add it to my list and give it a go, the concept is really cool!

@Ally-thank you so much! I'm addicted to YA dystopians so I thought I'd write one :)
I'm reading
right now but saw that
is in at the library for me. I have NO time to read anymore so I'll be lucky to have them both done in a month haha.
Well, I've been reading waaay too much. And my husband is going to Mexico for two and a half weeks, so I'm pretty sure it's only going to get worse :)I just finished
and
.Now I'm reading
I am reading
and so far it is great!!
I'm slogging through the fourth book in the Riverworld series by Philip Jose Farmer. The plot is dragging on a bit but it's still quite interesting.
I'm reading
...and it's soooooo good!

Oh it definitely will. I love both those boys. And that last snippet she released today made me sad. :( Seriously cannot wait. That'll be a great month... Book release and Catching Fire movie. :D
I'm to page 170 in
and even though it has good reviews, I can't get into it yet... Tell me it is going to get better?

Melinda wrote: "I'm to page 170 in and even though it has good reviews, I can't get into it yet... Tell me it is going to get better?"I had the same issue. Everyone says its good. I can't get past the first chapter or two.

On deck I have:
All books in which I have started the series. I don't know which to read though. It has been almost a year since I read The Mortal Instruments. I don't even remember what is even happening.
Eve was okay as a book, not sure if I will love Once.
Frostbite...eh, not sure how I feel about Vampire Academy. I didn't really like Dimetri, though Rose is okay.
My Soul to Save...Not sure I love the series yes. Maybe book two will be awesome.
Thanks Melodie and Danielle. I never usually give up, so I 'll keep battling :)
just finished Divergent (book 1) & Insurgent (book 2) by Veronica Roth.... im obsessed now! best book trilogy ive ever read! I find it (dare i say it?) better than the hunger games!
by far.
Yeah...it's super good. I love Insurgent even more than Divergent. :)

YOU DIDN'T LIKE DIMITRI!?!? how is that possible. craziness...
Frostbite was probably my least favorite of the 6 books, but it was still good. And that series gets so good, it's not even funny. You should really keep reading. A LOT happens. You might change your mind about Mr. Belikov :)
I just finished City of Lost Souls...like an hour ago. And I'm reeling. It blew my pants off. It was awesome, but heartwrenching at the same time.
I agree about Eve. I liked it as a book, but don't know if I loved it enough to continue the series.
Bethany wrote: "YOU DIDN'T LIKE DIMITRI!?!? how is that possible. craziness...lol - that seems a bit crazy to me as well. I read the Vampire Academy series right after Twilight though and Dimitri was a much better hero for me than Edward. Anyway, keep with it, I think Dimitri gets better as the series advances.
I'm reading
that is supposed to be a YA King Aurthur type of book. I'm about half way into it and so far it is OK. I'm actually still waiting for the big reveal that tells me exactly what is going on with the story. Right now it is just a YA Romance about a girl meeting a boy.
I just started The Mind Readers late last night. I was going to wait till today, but that first line sucked me in and I read three chapters. Really didn't want to stop.

Definately better than the Hunger Games.... Can't wait for the next one.
I just finished
and
. Chosen ones was just ok for me. But I really liked Smokeless Fire. I love Jinn/Djinn mythology. It was cool to have a different flavor of paranormal.
I love the Smokeless Fire series as well. So interesting!
just started the handmaids tale, waiting for it to grab me, not impressed so far
Just finished
&
and loved them!! So much intrigue and deception. Now going to start Unstrung...a novella in the Unwind series. Which was seriously some amazing stuff by the way. So looking forward to
Just finished Sleepers & Afterlife. Loved them!! Just tried to read I Am Alive, but it was just bugging me for some reason. Couldn't get into it. Now I'm on only onto chapter two of The Knife of Never Letting Go and am so into it. It is so cool (for lack of a better word). Loving it!!
I am about to start reading
