I am Currently Reading (2011)
Okay, as of today I am reading Asylum Lake by R.A. Evans, Mercy by Julie Garwood, Dead Is Not An Option by Marlene Perez and Roomby Emma Donoghue! Happy Reading everyone!!! :)
Started reading
last night... A little more than 1/3 of the way through it. Never read anything by this author before, and it's ok so far.
I'm currently reading
. It's pretty interesting. There are some things that I'm a tad conflicted on but I'm enjoying it.
I'm currently reading Fragile Eternity by Melissa Marr and The Tuesday Club Murders by Agatha Christie.
WAR follows a unit in Afghanistan's Korengal Valley and should really be called combat as these boys are more concerned with the reality of survival than the abstracts of war.And on a lighter tone, Venus of Chalk. The heroine is a lesbian. She is fat. But this isn't a story about lesbians or fat girls. It's about how we feel all different. Four stars, so far.
The Tenth Circle by Jodi Picoult
Well I'm speeding through books right now thankfully. I finished Eighth Grade Bites about a day ago and L.A. Noire: The Collected Stories, Fablehaven earlier today. So I've started Undead and Unappreciated and Passion Play. I'm hoping I get through both of them pretty quickly.
I just finished the girl with the dragon tattoo which was an amazing book. So glad I decided to read it. Now I am currently reading Wicked: the life and times of the wicked witch of the west by Gregory Maguire

I just loved dragon tattoo and ended up getting the other two pretty quick after. You are going to love wicked. :o)
The Invention of Hugo Cabret, which is currently the only Caldecott winner not in a picture book format. Definitely interesting so far.

There are so many different scenes from that book that come back to me easily. I love a book that sticks with you and makes you feel as if you are part of the story. Enjoy!

Started reading Never Knowing by Chevy Stevens today. It's my first Goodreads giveaway win ever! I'm usually not one to win things, lol. So far, I'm rather enjoying it.

Awesome! It's a lot to take in at first but it is SO GOOD!
My brother loves the Wicked Years series. I've only read the first one because I love the musical a lot.

I am holding off on reading any more until I finish these two reviews. So frustrating!! But I suppose this will motivate me to work faster on the reviews!
I just finished One for the Money and loved it. I was going to start Two for the Dough but realized I have library books to read so I think I need to set down the Kindle for a bit. lol

Just towards the end. I absorbed this book, loving the interactions between characters and how much they reminded me of local political people. Then, I got to the end. Ticked me off. I usually love Stephen King novels. I don't know how I expected it to end, but it really seemed like a cop-out after more than 1100 pages of good book.
