Not YA this time but I'm reading Between Sisters by Kristin Hannahand it has hooked me from page one!!

Be proud, Ursula. I am not afraid to admit I enjoyed the Twilight series. I proudly sport a "Team Jacob" t-shirt. I can even give reasons: 1. That series helped get more teenage girls to read for fun; 2. It made me aware of the "young adult" genre which I am thoroughly enjoying now and 3. Jacob is dreamy.

[Gwennie]

I've made my opinion on Twilight known, lol. But I will absolutely agree with you. It did make reading cool again, it did pull me back into the YA genre, and Jacob is dreamy. IMO he was the best part of that series.

[Kourtni]

Finished late last night. Good thing I have no time for any more reading for a little while because it has ruined me for all other books. I LOVED it. Nothing else will compare.

[Gwennie]

It was wonderful. I loved it too!

I read your review. I'm only about halfway through but I agree with a lot of what you mentioned. I'm going to try and finish it, but it's hard to commit when I have so many others to read.

I have The Knife of Never Letting Goon my TBR pile. I might need some endearing characters after this.

[Gwennie]

You will absolutely not be let down. That trilogy was... man I can't even think of words. I'll just say that it's been a long time since books have made me feel the way the Chaos Walking trilogy and Jellicoe Road did.

I guess they have cast Taylor Lautner for the lead in the movie - I didn't even know they were making it into a movie.

I'm seriously going to have to check some of her books out. I hear nothing but good things.

I'd heard that. It definitely reads more like a movie screenplay than a book.

[Heidi]

Lloyd do it!

[Becca]

Definitely Lloyd. Her writing has such a human apeal to it. And she is a master at manipulating your emotions as you read, but in a good way.

[Lloyd]

The pressure! :)

[Heidi]

Lloyd wrote: "The pressure! :)"

You brought it upon yourself you know!

[Lloyd]

My TBR list is pretty insane. Which of her books should I start with?

[Heidi]

If you like fantasy start with Finnikin of the Rock, if you are impartial start with Jellicoe Road.

[Michelle]

I just finished Austenland. Pretty good. Gread ending! I loved Princess Academy. This one was for an older audience.

[Heidi]

I want to listen to Austenland on audio, but my library doesn't have it. Boo!

[Lloyd]

Hmm...decisions, decisions. :)

[Michelle]

Heidi I wrote: "I want to listen to Austenland on audio, but my library doesn't have it. Boo!"

With a good reader the audio would be really fun. I'd like to hear what you think if you do end up listening to it.

[Heidi]

That is what I thought Lisa! If I find it I will keep you updated.

[Gwennie]

I'd say start with Finnikin of the Rock. I loved Jellicoe Road the most, but I think already loving Melina because I read Finnikin helped me during the confusing start of Jellicoe.

[Heidi]

Good point Wendy! I did the same thing. I went backwards with all of her books instead of starting with the oldest one first.

[Gwennie]

Right now the only one I have left is Saving Francesca and I'm trying really hard to wait until I can get Pipers Son.

[Lloyd]

So you all say Finnikin eh?

Let me get through some of these nine books I'm reading at the same time. :P

Big player, huh ? xP

[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

He's a book slut.

[Lloyd]

No. I just hit slump where I'm re-reading a few older books, then don't feel like one genre and start something else.

Or I'm a book whore. Either way. :P

(Normally I like just one book at a time.)

[Jaimie]

I just started

Nine books at the same time...Are you insane, wait don't answer that, lol. I have trouble sometimes reading two at the same time, depending on the stories, but nine I'd be lost completely!

[Stormi (StormReads)]

Lloyd,

You sound like me, if I start any more books I will go insane!! LOL I need to stop buying books I really want to read and work on some that I already have! AAAAHHH :)

[Lloyd]

Thankfully, I think my 30+ years of former comic reading/collecting (as well as books) help me to keep from mixing stories together. But I need to read my way out of this mess so I can stick to the one at a time. It's been awhile since I've been mired in so many books at once.

As for my sanity...it's questionable lately. :P

[Sara]

I hope for your sake that you're able to plow through the books that you're reading, so you can finally just read one at a time......I'm glad you're able to keep from mixing....

I think everyone's sanity is questionable lately, hehe.......at least mine is....

[Lloyd]

With working full time, being married and having a 4 year old son and wife demanding my time..."plowing" through books is not an option. But...I'm pluggin' away.

We'll see. Have to get there eventually! :P

[Sara]

At least you're plugging away. I just plow through books because I ignore my boyfriend (he'll agree with me on this too, lol). If I'm reading a book and he wants attention, I tell him later or something. I only do that because he ignores me when he plays his Xbox.

[Gwennie]

Sara, you sound like me. My husband watches TV, I read.

[Traci]

hahahah that's hilarious because as I read, my boyfriend plays computer games. We're in the same room, but we might as well be on separate planets. I'm glad I'm not alone :)

My boyfriend and I will sit like 2 feet away from each other on our computers and chat on yahoo. I like playing games on the computer too. I mostly read my books online since I don't have my nook yet.

[Stormi (StormReads)]

wow this place has been very quiet today! :)

[Lloyd]

Or working. I actually got fed up trying to find time to read and finally bought the ebook version for my iPod. It's much easier to find the time when I'm always carrying it around. But hauling around a huge hardcover? Not so much.

So I guess that would officially make me an ebook slut. :P

[Tracy T.]

I finally picked up from the library. I plan on starting one of them this weekend.

[Heidi]

Lloyd I am shocked at your "loose" ebook buying behavior. Shocked I tell you! Where are your morals?

Tracy - both are great reads!

[Lloyd]

I'm easy...when it comes to books. :)

[Heidi]

I don''t know if I can be friends with you anymore Lloyd. My father would not approve.

But...but...I'm the totally nicest guy on the planet! (Or close to it anyway) :P

[Heidi]

Oh ok Lloyd. You convinced me!

[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

Do the books at least buy you dinner first?

[Lloyd]

Stacia wrote: "Do the books at least buy you dinner first?"

At the very least. I have standards!

[Heidi]

Hahaha! Good to know Lloyd. I was worried there for a little bit.
