Young Adult Fiction for Adults discussion
What are you reading now?
I sat last night and read Chaos Walking quotes online and got all emotional all over again. I do love that trilogy. I've found most of my favorite books since joining Goodreads!

Finished Anna and the French Kissat work today. Loved it. I have a big decision to make and I need help...Vampire Academy
or
The Awakening and The Struggle next? Or Faefever? Help!
Heidi I wrote: "Yay Lloyd! Didn't it feel like such a downer to be done with it?"It did. Very good saga!
VA or Fever are both good. Faefever is where the series starts to pick up. VA book 1 is just so-so, but the rest of the series is VERY good - much more of an adult read than some of the other silly YA vamp series out there *cough HoN* . I rarely hear anything good about VD, but haven't read it. Enough people have trashed it though to make me not care and just stick with the t.v. show instead.

Jill wrote: "Finished Anna and the French Kissat work today. Loved it. I have a big decision to make and I need help...Vampire Academy or [bookco..."I would go with VA, I am half way through it and even though it was sort of slow to begin with it is starting to get interesting. :)
I finished
which I truly enjoyed and now I'll be reading
.
I just finished INSIDE MY HEAD. It's a realistic and gut-wrenching story about bullying. Set in England, the story could happen anywhere. Highly recommend.
Heidi I wrote: "Ohh Jaimie let me know about All I Ever Wanted. I have it in my tbr pile."Just finished it! It was alright. I don't think it was one of her best, but I also do not think that it was a waste of time either. I give it probably 2 and a half stars, maybe three, but that may be pushing it just a little. lol
Just finished
and I am not going to start
. :)
Sorry I meant I am NOW going to start
. lol oops
My TBR is getting longer and longer each day. Oh well, I need books to read, so it's all gravy.I'm also reading
with my online book club and I must say that it's really good for being a classic. I normally stay away from classics, but I'm glad I decided to read this one.
I finished
last night. I'm not sure what I'll read next. Perhaps I'll move on to
.
Finished
and I really liked it!Just started
I've just finished
, the 2nd in the Mistborn trilogy - it was epic! Can't wait to get my hands on the next book now, this series is going from strength to strength. While I wait for it to come in at the library, I'll make a start on
.
Tiphaine - You have to read the rest of the My Blood Approves series. It gets better with each one. If you haven't already, you should read her Trylle series too. :)
Just finished
and now I'm reading

Jamie wrote: Just finished it! It was alright. I don't think it was one of her best, but I also do not think that it..."Good to know. I have only read one book by her (One of the Guys), but from the sounds of it, it was her best because the other Jaimie (with the extra i) did not seem to think some of her others were as good either.
Heidi, I think you would like Catch of the Day - it was close to as good as Just One of the Guys but not as funny so it got knocked down a bit.
Thanks Jaimie with the extra i :) I will read that one instead!
Maybe we only liked Just One of the Guys so much because there was so many hot Firemen?
I'm currently reading
and
. I am enjoying them both.
Jaimie wrote: "Maybe we only liked Just One of the Guys so much because there was so many hot Firemen?"Hahaha! You may be right :)
Heidi I wrote: "You must read Anna!!"I decided to finish
first, since I started reading it before Shadowfever came. It got discarded for more Jericho Barrons, but now I'm going to finish it.Then it'll be Anna.
Ok...ok, but read it soon Wendy! I hope you like it more than Jacky :( There is a little French in it, but no strange dialects I swear!
I don't mind the french. But the whole Cockney language plus a massive headache and a bit of a fever really did me in. It took way to much concentration to decipher, hahaha.
Wendy F wrote: "I don't mind the french. But the whole Cockney language plus a massive headache and a bit of a fever really did me in.

Hahaha, up to this point, you haven't. I'll give the Audio a try as soon as I'm done with Outlander on audio.
Started
on the bus ride to work this morning. Every time I read a Rick Riordan YA book, I am immediately captivated and drawn in.
I'm currently reading a few books at the moment..
Dear John and The Guardian are a bit slow.. Teach Me is a different type of read for me, Infinite Days I just started the first few pages, and Impulse is exactly what I expected from Ellen Hopkins.
I thought the Lost Hero was great. I love his whole Olympus world building. I can't WAIT for The Son of Neptune.
I decided to start The Girl Who Chased the Moon
because it was released into paperback yesterday. :)
Heidi I wrote: "Jaimie wrote: "Maybe we only liked Just One of the Guys so much because there was so many hot Firemen?"Hahaha! You may be right :)"
Hmm I think it's time for me to read Just One of the Guys. Hot firemen sound so appealing. Plus, you two are saying it's the best one, but that's the smaller reason for me to read it. Bring on the fire!
I love Rick Riordan, he's such an awesome writer. I'm hoping to read his "The Red Pyramid" sometime soon since I've already read the other books.

was really good. I can't wait for the next one! So far, all of his YA stuff has been great.
Jamie wrote: "Hmm I think it's time for me to read Just One..."Hahaha! Yes! Read it Jamie without the extra i! I really really liked it and I am not huge into chick lit, so it has to be good if I am saying that (ha- like my opinion matters! :)
Jill wrote: "I decided to start The Girl Who Chased the Moon because it was released into paperback yesterday. :)"Loved this book! She is such a wonderful writer.
Amanda wrote: "I'm currently reading a few books at the moment....."I love
. Maizel's writing is so good.
Catie (with a C) - let me know how Monster's is on audio. I read all of them in print, and am curious how the narrator will read Todd (and a few of the new characters).
Amanda that is a lot of books you are reading there!
@ Heidi I: I can't wait for her next book in March. I am also a huge fan of hers.
For those who have a difficult time finding new authors, there is a website called Literature Map...click here. You type in the name of a favorite author and it gives you a "map" of authors to choose from based upon that author's name.
So excited I got my Kansas City Library card in the mail today! I had to email them to activate it so now I am just waiting to get a email from them saying I am activated so that I can get on their website and check out some audiobooks and ebooks..LOL

Jill - me neither! I am super excited.Shannen - thanks for the info :)
Stormi - that is awesome news!

You're welcome! I thought it was pretty interesting. :)

It is funny because I was going to go with that one next! Oh and I have heard of or met just in the last 2 years of a few Jaimies with two I's. Weird.
