Recommend It (Now until 6/30/11)

[Heather]

Feel free to use these elsewhere. That's why I have this thread seperated from all the challenge ones.

From my list i finished Fire & Grave Sight. Going to start Bitten today :)

[Heather]

finally starting the Looking Glass Wars and it seems pretty good. i love the hardcover one cuz it has such a cool texture on the actual book

[Angela]

I have started which Shannon recommended for me :)

[Carrie (Care)]

I started which I was really excited to read because so many people love it, but so far it is not keeping my interest. I am about a quarter of the way through so far so hopefully it picks up.

[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

I'm about to read that one too and I'm a bit afraid. So many people say it's amazing, but the writing takes time to get used to. I hope it picks up at some point at least!

Did you like Still Missing? I thought it was good.

I loved it. I listened to it on audio, and the narrator made it sound like she lived it.

[Carrie (Care)]

So are we supposed to post our lists each time we finish a book for this one?

[Heather]

I don't know. I just did it. Here it doesn't matter since it's not for points and I don't have to sort through the mess of comments. On the other ones posting once if good because then I keep double checking your name every time it comes up and I ened up erasing a lot.

[Carrie (Care)]

I might just wait until I am finished to post mine again.

[Heather]

I'm still finding ways to distract myself from the books I own. =)

[Lisa S]

Me too Heather!

[[deleted user]]

Fallen angels!!! I'm reading, though. I got it today!!! From borders!!

[Heather]

I will read Graceling! I will read P.C. Cast! .... Maybe if I repeat it enough in my head I'll do it. I just brought home another 10 library books.

[Lisa S]

Trust me Heather, Graceling is fabulous.

[Heather]

i know, but that still doesnt make me pick it up yet. I had this issue with The Hunger Games too for some reason.

[Jasmine]

I'm having the same issue with Graceling Heather. I read HG because it was a book club book for school. If it weren't I probably would've had a hard time picking it up too.

[Angela]

BOTH OF YOU READ GRACELING OR SUFFER MY WRATH!



Did that help?:)

[Heather]

Nope. I threatened you with physical harm and it still took you 2 months to read Night Huntress. ;)

[Carrie (Care)]

Lol.

I liked Graceling, but didn't love it like most people. I haven't even read Fire yet because I just don't care. I probably should since a lot of people liked it better.

[Lisa S]

LOL


I liked Fire better, but I also liked Graceling.

[Jasmine]

Didn't help me either, hehe. Too busy with the In Death series! xD

[Angela]

*mummbles and grubbles and sounds like an old lady because of it*

I liked Graceling alright but felt it had a slow start. I absolutely agree with not caring enough to want to read Fire. Will probably read Bitterblue though because Po will be making cameos.

Poison Study was better to me.

[Angela]

I loved both Graceling and Poison Study :)

[Heather]

finished reading nd i have to say i was not very impressed by it

[Suzanne]

So I just finished Graceling and loved it. It took about 50 pages for me to really get into it but once I did I couldn't put it down. Can't wait to read Fire now.

[Heather]

I almost started it today, but didn't for some reason. I couldn't do it. I kept picking up books, reading a page and then putting them down and switching them out. I can't settle on what I want to read. I even picked up the P.C. Cast book that I have on here, but I put it down after a chapter.

[Heather]

How's everyone doing on this one? I need to get moving.

[Lisa S]

I've read one that I own and three from my TBR. I'm starting on another I own (Every Which Way But Dead) next.

[Angela]

I so love Rachel :) I just read one of the short stories by Kim Harrison and Jenks was the main character, I loved it :)

[Angela]

As far as were I'm at I have only read 3 of mine so far, I've been spending more my time on the A-Z challenge.
So far I read and from my owned list and

from the TBR suggestions

I enjoyed all 3 of them and just LOVED Hunger Games

[Heather]

A month and a half left!

[Lisa S]

I was just thinking about this yesterday.

[Heather]

I thought I'd be further along last time. I'm going to set this up a little differently next time. I think it'll work better the way I have it in my head.

[Suzanne]

My Owned Shelf

[Heather]

I'm finally getting started on my "Owned" list. I'm cutting it very close. Esp, since I have relatives in town all next week.

[Lisa S]

I still have 2 of my own to read. But I'm laid off for the next two weeks so I think I can do it.

[Heather]

I'll get at least 2, maybe 3. Since I'm OCD about completing challenges, I just might manage to make it, but I'm not getting my hopes up.

[Heather]

i have three left in my Own books to read and two of them will be so easy to read! But i have a huge book to read too in it!

[Angela]

Good luck to everyone trying to finish this up...I didn't do so hot on this one...I loved the idea though!

[Heather]

I think I'll set up a challenge where we recommned things for others, but not one where we have to read stuff we own since we seemed to be on the ball with the suggestions, but lagging on our own books.

[Joeera]

I just finished reading my last book today what with me working at the moment as welll
