Wendy I bought Outlander for $1.90 at Borders today because I am sick of waiting for the library to get the audiobook in!

Book. I wanted the audio, but oh well. $1.90 was too good to pass up. I also bought two others for $1.90 - excellent!
That is an incredible deal. Is it the going out of business sale?The Diana Gabaldon books at my Borders sold out super fast. Not that I needed them. I have each book in the series in both hardcover and paperback (for lending). Then I realized that I've accumulated 6 copies of Outlander over the year.
I have finished Lover Revealed Undead and Unreturnable Beyond the Highland Mist Tales from the Terrific Register: The Book of Ghosts One Foot in the Grave and I am reading Kushiel's Dart and Red-Headed Stepchild

Wendy is was the GOB sale.
Jessica wrote: "reading Vanished
by Meg Cabot"I really enjoyed that series, Jessica! Great MC. I've never seen that version/cover before, though.
I've been reading
, but I think I'm going to have to give up on it due to extreme boredom! Move on to my next stack of library books instead :)
I'm picking up
from the library tomorrow, Catie! Looking forward to it; I've heard lots of good things about it.
reading Clockwork Angel now and City of Fallen Angels is patiently waiting for me on the bookshelf :o)

Shamefully, we haven't read The Gorgon in the Gully yet. Still working through Winnie-the-Pooh and The Adventures of Alice in Wonderland. (After a 2nd reading of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. I've had my fill of THAT book!) :)
I am reading Sapphique the sequel to Incarceron. Both books have taken me a while to get into them. I have to wonder why the dystopia is such an enormous category for young adults

I'm a little more than half way through
and I have to say I'm not all that impressed. I've heard a lot of hype about this book and I'm kind of bored. :p Definitely going to finish, but I also heard it's being made into a series now and I'm not sure how I feel about that...

Heidi, it's not bad. I just hate when there's tons of hype because I never tend to feel like it lives up to it. It could also be because I've been reading it in like 10 page increments because I haven't had time to really delve into it. Perhaps I'm not giving it the attention it requires :p
I am reading this via audiobook right now. I am almost done with it and loving every minute. I had no intent to read it and only did so because it was one of the monthly picks for one of my groups. I know now that I am going to read the entire series.
I'm reading Outlander, which I've heard good things about here. So far it has been a little slow. I'm not very far, though.
I finished
last night. It was pretty good. I thought City of Glass was the last book in the series so I wasn't sure what to expect with this book, but it was really good. I think I will start
next!
I'm ready with the "fever series" and I loved it, the fourth and the last were the best and I miss them already - Mac and Jericho were absolute adorable! *love them*and I've read
, but wasn't so good in my opinion. A little too childish and short.and today I've finished
and I have to say I'm a bite disappointed. After MI I really looked forward for this book but the whole story and the characters doesn't hooked me up. I don't like Will, he only just pretty, I prefer Jem - he's kind and friendly and intelligent. And the end was not really a end in my opinion. That's the point I don't like on series... you always have to wait whats going on for months and there's always no real end.. :/
Just got back from a weekend camping (up in Harlan County KY training Girl Scout leaders). Have not read much at all.However because it's about 1.5 hrs drive there & back I finished
on audiobook and am already on CD 3 of
.

I enjoyed both of those audiobooks.
@ BRANDI - Yay I picked Dash & Lily for you! I'm so glad you liked it :) I thought it was really cute. I think I might have to buy Anna and the French Kiss since I see it everywhere on here
Carmel wrote: "A few people reading or read COFA, interested on your thoughts?Martina, I loved Jem, he was grogeous!"
no, haven't started COFA, I want to re-read the other three books before. But I'm really curious and exciting about the fourth book. Hope CC don't mess it up and that Jace and Clary stay togehter!
And about Clockwork Angel, I guess in the end Tessa will end up with Will. There are just too much similarities to MI (Will like Jace, Jem like Simon) and we know how this end. But I really like Jem, though Will is a jackass, he has a hot look but that isn't the most important. Jem has also other qualities and I hope they find a cure for him.
