Just picked up The Iron Daughter from the library this evening. Yay!! I really enjoyed The Iron King, so I hope this one is just as good.

Ugh, I'm totally slacking on reading since starting my new job on Monday. I'm still reading "I Am Number Four". The only great thing is, I should be getting my nook in the next few days!

is really impressing me."Julie I read Tunnels a while back and I read enjoyed it. I think it will be a re-read for me.
I started a new audiobook
the narator has this really deep voice really great for a suspense/thriller book..he sort of creeps me out..LOL Also started reading
and still reading
its dragging a bit at the moment though. :(
I started LOW RED MOON, a download from my library. So far, I'm enjoying. Very intense and started off with a bang.
Julie wrote: "Did you read the rest of the series? I think there's three or four in the Tunnels series."I read the next two I think. I enjoyed them all. I haven't read the most recently released in the series. I will probably go back and read from the beginning later because it's been a while since I read the first one.
I'm done with Tunnels so now I'm reading Rise of the Evening Star
, the second in the Fablehaven series.

Ohhh I loved Lover Avenged Brittany! It is massive. I listened on audiobook and it was like 30 CD's!

Yeah... the print is very small and it's still close to 600 pages. I read 20 pages last night and it felt more like 50. I have a feeling this one is going to take a while.

"I really liked The Thief, but the rest of the books in the series are amazing.
I just finished reading The Piper's Son and I'm currently reading Sorcery and Cecelia or The Enchanted Chocolate Pot.
Finished
and I really really really liked it. You know how people are always looking for books for boys. This is highly suggested for boys who like basketball. And other people who like basketball (because as we know, I'm not actually a boy).Next on my list I'm going to the polar opposite and being completely girly. Starting
tomorrow. Just look how PINK the cover is.Clearly I have like a split-personality or something lol.
I just read the reviews for Ball Don't Lie and it looks to me like some teach assigned a class to write reviews on goodreads because a ton have no profile picture and aren't very well written. And they keep talking about what they learned from the book.Is this common?
Been reading this book in spirts as it is on my computer and its a bit strange. It has the longest title I have ever seen..LOL The Atomic Weight of Secrets or The Arrival of the Mysterious Men in Black
Finished
and loved it, but liked the first one a little bit better. Still a great read though.Working on
and
, but may put them to the side if I'm not done before the new BDB comes out.

Kristina wrote: "Still dragging my way through shiver lol I think this is the slowest I've ever read any book!"It was too slow for me. I read it but was frustrated the whole time.

Catie wrote: "Hey Cassi - I saw that once before, with The Color Purple. A lot of the reviews looked like weird outlines.

I know Peep is similar to my reading tastes and she didn't love book 2 as much as book 1, so that didn't help!

"oooo good one. Gotta love the banter between Cat and Bones.
Shiver was slow. There was a lot of filler in that book. Lots of time spent in cars and beds. I liked Linger better, but maybe because I cared less about Sam and Grace and more about Isabel and Cole.
Jessica is a silly girl. I almost didn't know it was her because she changed her picture and name at the same time.
I just now saw that conversation. I read my groups out of order.*cough* going back to topic. You'll like Catching Fire.
Lol...yeah should have tried to talk in code lol. I haven't done much reading this weekend, but its bath time soon so I'll read in there.
Just finished
; not too impressed. DARNED LOVE TRIANGLES.Now starting, at long last,
- yay! I've heard nothing but praise for this author, so I have fairly high hopes :)

I just finished an ARC of LA Weatherly's Angel Burn and it was heart stopping! Now I am starting
. Hopefully, by the time I finish it
will be out!
Don't let the love triangle put you off ladies! Its a good book, and IMO the heroine soooooo made the wrong choice but that's mostly because I hate the guy she chooses! Grrr *RAGE*
