What are you reading right now?

So your saying stick with it? I read the first book and had a hard time getting into it. I have read other books by the author and liked them but I'm struggling with this one.

Amanda~ Yeah, give it a shot - they get better. Although, I like some of her other series better than this one - they do improve, and the last one is out later this year, so it's a complete series with no waiting! :)

Andrew- I just finished CofFA yesterday. It was amazing. It did not disappoint. I'm glad you're liking it so far. It only gets better!

My cousin was raving about this series when he found out that I loved Fantasy...he told me I had to read it. I'm just barely ten pages in and I'll tell you, I'm already hooked in!!!
Hi, I am currently reading the Shadow Children series which is really quite good. I just finished Delirium last week before I even knew the group is currently reading it. It was a great read!
Josephine, how was that series? I've been really curious about it, it sounds really good! Oh, and so glad you liked Delirium!


I'm not enjoying this book as much as I enjoyed the first two in the series. I'm wondering if that should surprise me because I didn't enjoy the 4th book in the Frost book series as much as I enjoyed the first ones either. Perhaps it is a trend.

I'll try the second one and see if it picks up.

I enjoyed the Shadow Children - I thought that series was really interesting.

Hi Amy, I wondered if I would like it, but I started reading the first one and then couldn't put it down. I got all 7 in the series off of goodreads bookswap. I am on the 6th one now and have the 7th one along with in case I finish the 6th. They are really really quick reads. I like how the character from the first book reappears in each book, but he is not always the main character throughout the series. Other characters from previous books will become the main character in later books. It's really is a great series! Also, as an aside, I am so happy to find a dystopian fiction book group since that's pretty much what I've been reading lately!!

Amy ~ see my review - it wasn't worth the effort! :)
Amanda, if you like Matched, you should try Delirium (if you haven't already). And let us all know what you think of Matched, because a lot of us a part of an ongoing debate lol :)
Jen, haven't heard of that one. It sounds interesting though! Here's to hoping you like it better than The Unspoken!

YAY! You'll LOVE it!!!


Hey Adela! So, I loved White cat. It's a really interesting story line...very original. It came at a good time for me because I was so tired of reading the same stuff. White Cat was a total breath of fresh air. I hope you love it. Holly Black just released the second book in the series, it's called Red Glove and it looks awesome. Let me know how you like it.

Jen, haven't he..."
I'm still at interesting, but I'm not even half way in yet. Is there a discussion group for this book? I'm going to have to go look and see. I can see where this would pull different responses from people.


Now I'm reading The Royal Treatment which is cute so far.
I got a whole batch of disney/hyperion ARC's from netgalley, so it's cutsy books for a while. They're great fun.
Last week while on vacation I read Ultraviolet which was really really weird. Bite Me which was great fun, an adult crossover book about a vampire hunting succubus (who has no sex) and Where She Went which I appear to be the only one that didn't like.


I have not read this particular one by Sleator, but I think that he's generally a good author.


YAY! You'll LOVE it!!!"

Bethany, Your cousin was right. I am on the fourth of the Sword of Truth series. They are great. Did you know that there was a tv show (two seasons) called Legend of the Seeker, that is based upon the series.
Dystopians I've recently read XVI, Delirium, Across the Universe, and Candor. Loved them all.




I didn't even realize that Candor was dystopian Candice. I remember that cover, but I never read the synopsis, so I didn't know what it was about. But wow, it sounds pretty good! Added! :)

I actually talked to my cousin today and he specifically warned me of the TV show. He said it was like a cheesy Kevin Sorbo kinda show. LOL. I am really curious about it tho...but I've gotta read the book first.

That is a good TV show. I've watched both seasons not realizing it was a book series. I'll have to pick that up and try it.
I'm reading Crossed (the 2nd in the Matched series).








Last night I started


Has anyone read City of Fallen Angels I got 100 pages in and nothing has happened at all. Does it get better or does the rest read like fan fiction?
Gets better! Except I'm a Cassandra Clare junkie, so I might be a bit biased...



Jen, I was surprised how much I liked Ender's Game! I usually don't like books that were written so long ago, but that one totally changed my way of thinking!
Yay Candice! That one is soooo good!
Yay Candice! That one is soooo good!

Candice ~ better late than never! :) I really enjoyed The Maze Runner!

Yay Candice! That one is soooo good!"
Amy ~ I know - I'm the same way, but Orson Scott Card has a way of writing that really pulls you in!

Candice ~ better late than never! :) I really enjoyed The Maze Runner!"
You're right! Looking forward to it!
