      Caryn, I am on page 63 and I already really like it.

      I'm at the start of Divergent and so far nothing is standing out. Yet. But I'm still not very far in.

      Yay! Can't wait to hear what you all think of Hex Hall. Watch out for Cassi, though...she's already claimed the boy. (I conceded in favor of Will Herondale.)

"Speaking of liking covers...I like this one. It always caught my eye and I'm curious what you think of this book. (I want to know it's worth reading. You know, one day when I'm done with the zillion books I have lined up.) :P
      I am reading The Replacementon audio. it took me a while to get into the whole primise of the book; as well as a little internet research on the Morrigan. I do like it though and I would feel very comfortable recommending it to others. This is definitely not your usual supernatural YA.
    
      Guess I must put Hex Hall higher on the TBR.....I read Falling Under - I liked it. Not over the top fell in love with it, but I would definitely read a sequel if one comes out.
      Wow, being sick for a weekend really causes you to miss out on alot.I missed a good conversation too. I love offering my opinion, but since it mirrors Cassie and Wendy Darling's, I'll omit it this time.
I'll just say that I tend to slide right over shameless author promotions and don't even take notice of them until someone else says something. I think my eyes just skim right over them without actually reading them.
      I am currently reading 
  
. I know, I am behind, but now that I've gotten around to it I like it quite much. Some of the writing could be improved on, but in all I am quite excited to see how it ends!

I found on on the list of Best Aussie YA Authors (right by my beloved Melina) so I thought I would give it a try. I am half done. I am reserving judgment for now.

      @Heidi Oh yes, Aussie I could listen to an Aussie narrator for a looong time. Yet my thoughts always seem to wonder off when I listen to Audiobooks...It's not a huge page-turner for me yet but I hope it will improve because it has a lot of potential.
      I am about half way through 
  
 and I am loving it. I keep wanting to pick it back up and read more. I may even finish it tonight or tomorrow. :)

      I gave up on 
  
, i guess i wasn't in the mood for it, may or may not pick it up again sometime. I'm going to start

At the beginning of the year I started to add books that I started but didn't finish. I just stopped because apparently I give up all the time. *cough,cough*

This one gets really good recommendations, and I didn't give it enough of a chance so I'll probably finish sometime. I think I just wasn't in the mood to read a book like that so I wasn't enjoying it :)
      Finished 
  
 and am working on 
  
 (in audio from the library.) Anna was from the library too but I may have to buy a copy of my own since I loved it. :)
    
      Has anyone here read Breath of Angel yet? It isn't due out till June sometime, but I MIGHT be able to grab a copy (ARC) soon.....should I????
  
    
      People, thank you! I had never heard of Juliet Marillier before joining this group, but had added the first books in her Sevenwaters, Wildwood, and Bridei Chronicles to my TBR list based on your glowing reviews. Well, my library didn't have any of those in stock last time I was there, but I picked up 
  
 even though it wasn't on my list--and even though I hated the cover. ;) It was really good, so if this isn't considered one of her best, I can't wait for the ones that are! I foresee some potential 5 stars and maybe even a few book purchases--gasp! So, anyway, thank you!

. I'm only on page 39 and I am intrigued."Oh, I really want to read that! I've heard it's pretty awesome, have fun with it and let me know what you think :)
      Today I'm reading 
  
 and I won't bore you with my what I've read this week list because that was a HUGE post in the other group. Later this week I intend to read 
  
, 
  
, 
  
  
and 
  
, four of which because I said I'd review them and the fifth to meet a reading challenge in another group.
    
      Finished 
  
..I loved it so much.And last night I read
, which was just as humorous and entertaining as the other books.

It's good, but not considered among her best for sure. You've got some really great reading ahead!
