If you like audiobook Water for Elephants is excellent in that format.

Layna (evanslayna) Brittany,

I have never actually listened to an audio book before, but I've been meaning to try one. I wonder if I could stand to hear a book without actually reading it? Haha hmmm.

Me too! I read the first one in December and sped through them super fast! I heard she's releasing a new one this summer even though she said the last one was the final one, I'm excited!

Rhonda I'm 75% into Leviathan (Leviathan, #1) by Scott Westerfeld and enjoying it.

This week I received my book order from indigo and I'm not sure what to start next: I've got Delirium by Lauren Oliver and Matched (Matched, #1) by Ally Condie and Black Hole Sun by David Macinnis Gill .

Oh, and I'm going to read Notebook Connections Strategies for the Reader's Notebook by Aimee Buckner .

Cast I saved the HON title for the end of the list because of just having finished Tempted (House of Night, #6) by P.C. Cast . I will start and finish the audio version of Beastly by Alex Flinn today as I clean house.

Brittany (finally graduated and can once again read for fun) | 1328 comments So all of you Tamora Pierce fans... I need some help. I just finished the Songs of the Lioness series and fell in love with Tortall.

So I know Pierce has other series that take place in Tortall and I'm wondering which I should read. I think I saw The Immortals, Protector of the Small, and Daughter of the Lioness and then she's in the middle of a new Tortall series.

I would like to read the books in chronological order so my question is... which one comes next? I know Pierce wrote the Immortals series next, but I'm not certain it necessarily takes place next chronologically. Also which series is your favorite.

Help please... :)

Thanks!


Cassi aka Snow White Haggard | 2261 comments The Immortals is next. And yes they're all worth reading. Then Protector of the Small, Daughter of the Lioness.

TECHNICALLY speaking the new series takes places years and years before ANY of the series. But I tend to read in the order the author writes the books (I learned this with Narnia).

I haven't read her series in the other world though. Seemed younger to me.


Brittany (finally graduated and can once again read for fun) | 1328 comments Thanks for the info Cassi. I actually read Narnia in chronological order, starting with The Magician's Nephew.

I guess I'll be looking for book #1 in The Immortals series next then. I'm excited!


message 7568: by Kristina (new)

Kristina (kristinalawhead) I'm reading Girls for Breakfast by David Yoo , a friend recommended it to me and I borrowed it from her. Its pretty funny! I haven't read many books with an Asian character, the boy in this is really self deprecating and funny!


message 7569: by Melissa (new)

I've really liked the Immortals series Brittany. I think I may like the storyline even better than the Alanna series.


message 7571: by Daria (new)

Daria (dariadeptula) Just finished If I Stay (If I Stay, #1) by Gayle Forman , which was AMAZING. I can hardly wait for Where She Went (If I Stay, #2) by Gayle Forman


message 7572: by Sarah (new)

Sarah Elizabeth I could sift through this entire thread again, but I hope you all will forgive me if I don't. I was just curious if anyone has read Revolution by Jennifer Donnelly and what people thought of it.

I've just started reading it myself, so it's too soon to tell ;)


message 7574: by Sarah (new)

Sarah Elizabeth Hahaha, Valerie, what a coincidence. Okay, awesome. We can tell each other what we think. But to be honest, I haven't had much time for reading in this past week, so there's no telling how long it's going to take me to finish it. haha


message 7575: by Valerie (new)

Valerie | 58 comments I've only read the first 55 pages myself! LOL I may try to read more this evening... been a long week for me too. I'll be sure to post a review when I'm done ;)


Cassi aka Snow White Haggard | 2261 comments Plugging on through Late Eclipses (October Daye #4) by Seanan McGuire . I really do like Seanan McGuire. I just figured out the other day that she wrote Feed (Newsflesh, #1) by Mira Grant under a different name so that'll move up my TBR list.

But I don't know if I can love another of her books like the October Daye series. It's weird to imagine her writing something else (and I know this happens all the time but you know)


message 7577: by Kristina (new)

Kristina (kristinalawhead) I've had The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho for what seems like forever so I'm starting it in a few minutes. I'm trying to go through all the books I own or have borrowed and clear out my shelves a little bit. I've already ready 2 books today, and maybe I can set a personal record and finish this too since its like 100 pages haha

I have so many books at home to read from my library sales! I think I am going to try that into the theme read next month if possible "books you own but have not read yet and/or books you own and want to re-read".

I've started Entwined by Heather Dixon. I've been wanting to read this book for months!

I just bought Entwined the other day, so let us know what you think.

I'm reading Where I Belong. So far the main character annoys me (though the main character does say that will be the case, so hopefully it will get better).


message 7587: by Sara (new)

Sara (rose081900) | 177 comments Wow, yet again it's been awhile since I checked this so I'm not going to try to read the last few pages I missed, well unless I get the time to actually do that lol.

I'm still kind of reading I Am Number Four (Lorien Legacies, #1) by Pittacus Lore (on my desk top computer), but I'm also reading Some Practical Magic by Laurie C. Kuna on my Nook.

Holly | 108 comments just finished Afterlife (Evernight, #4) by Claudia Gray , now reading The Dragon Heir (The Heir Chronicles, #3) by Cinda Williams Chima , next up is Ink Exchange (Wicked Lovely, #2) by Melissa Marr or Hex Hall (Hex Hall, #1) by Rachel Hawkins


Awesomevegan (AKA JenReads) (awesomevegan) | 325 comments And of course because I am a book addict... I had to start Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist by Rachel Cohn when I seen it was available and not checked out from my library in audio. I love that it has a male and a female narrator. I am enjoying it so far and looking forward to finishing it. I enjoyed the movie.

I loved Crown Duel too, Ali! Such a fun read. I was reminded of Tamora Pierce's books, as well as the ones you mentioned. Strong heroine, good fast plot - can't go wrong :)

Hi Sarah! I read Revolution a couple months ago, and I really liked it. The way she wrote it was really fascinating. You should check out her other YA book: A Northern Light by Jennifer Donnelly . I liked Revolution better, but this one was also good.

Hi Cassi, I read her Circle of Magic books, but I could not finish The Circle Opens series...They just aren't as good as the Tortall series, in my opinion.

I can't wait for the next Beka Cooper book!
