What are you reading now?
Finished reading
and greatly enjoyed it. The book was very addicting, and I cannot wait for book 2. Enjoy!

He seems to be able to produce them quickly, which is awesome! I am sad I only have one more Percy Jackson to read, however. I got very attached, out of nowhere..
Wow @Lauren @Arphaxad, Impossible looks really good--thanks! Adding to my teetering pile.I am reading Sixteenth Summer and it's SO cute! Contemporary YA romance isn't usually my thing, but I'm so glad I picked this one up. Sun and sand and kissing and ice cream...just the perfect beach read.
So I'm listening to
but I really don't like the narrator BUT I really want to read the book. I'm currently reading 2 books (one kindle, one library) so adding a 3rd might be a little extreme.I'll probably keep listening because I liked the first one (read in book form) so much. But ugh...the narrator does not do it for me.
I'm really liking
right now. Girls can be so cruel. What is wrong with us?Picked up
and
. And 6 more books requested from ILL, hopefully they'll come soon.
We should be reading Raging Quiet around the same time Peep - I have my copy at home too. Hope you like Ruby :)
That's on my TBR list but I don't know when I'm getting to it. Busy week at work this week. Looking forward to your reviews unless I catch up miraculously.
Raging Quiet was fabulous. I was surprised by how much I liked it, and the romance didn't even figure prominently in my thoughts about it. Just a great story overall.
I just finished
. I really, really enjoyed it. It was not what I was expecting at all. I had been hesitant to read it at first because I thought it might've been a little too young but I can't wait to read Demonglass.
You guys are making me want to move Raging Quiet up on my TBR list BUT I have to read my 3 library books first.And YAY for all the Hex Hall love. It's one of my favorites!

I should be reading it before this weekend so I will let you know if you should bump it up (if my opinion matters, which my name clearly indicates it does NOT).
Hmm, maybe I'll read that next and then Divergent. Then I'll (loudly) tell everyone what I thought about. That sounds like a plan.
Hey Lloyd,As I see that you have read the Wimpy Kid Series up until book 5, I was just wondering if you are planning to continue on by reading book 5? And I would like to know any thoughts you had on the series and what you thought about book 5 after you have read it.
Thanks!
Can't wait to see what you guys think of The Raging Quiet. I was convinced I would hate it. Glad it proved me wrong! :)
Just started Fall on Your Knees. This looks like it is going to be a dark one, so I may keep it at work to read during lunch....

I finished the last book a few days ago but haven't posted a review yet. I liked it. Not as funny as the first few books. He's still the same Greg Hefley (sp?) but not as bad as he was in Dog Days. I laughed out loud a few times, enough that my husband noticed.

I just finished Hush Hush and I loved it! I can't wait to read Crescendo.
I'm done with the Percy Jackson series (which was good) and now, I'm reading
I have this book since forever, lol, time to read something more adult.

It was very good! I read switched and I liked it.

I am sure I will! :)
I just finished
and hated it. I felt Meg Cabot really lost the plot with this one.Reading
and liking it.Thanks to you all, when I saw a copy of Jellicoe Road at a 2nd hand bookstore I snapped it up. Pretty excited for it.

Oh no! I just got
in the mail - thought I was safe to buy since it is Meg Cabot.

Sadly I thought I was safe too. You may love it though! I am uber fussy!

as a break from all the contemporary novels I've been reading."Enjoy Leviathan Emily. I thought it was brilliant. Really liked it and like Steampunk now because of it.
I loved
. It was just such a unique book. Can it be...September/August/Whenever the next book comes out already PLEASE.PS I kept plugging through with
and even though the narrator is not one of my favorites, I did get used to her. Enjoying the book, wishing that somehow Katherine Kellegran had narrated them instead (she would narrate almost everything if it were up to me!)

comes out this Fall & I could not be readier for the conclusion to this series! Though I will be sad that its over.

I got a lot of laughs from that series so far. I keep getting distracted and forgot about the new book. I'll definitely let you know what I think when I get to it. Right now, I'm finding myself immersed in
.Thanks for the reminder though!
Lloyd did you ever finish reading
? I may have missed it, my brain does go on vacation at time. Just curious as to the boys perspective.

I'm reading Halfway to the Grave. Only a short ways into it, but already I'm really liking Cat! I'm also reading Dogsbody at work, which is kind of cute so far.
