Hi Angela! Thanks for sharing!

 and 
  
 were both too juvenile for me. I didn't like either of them. BUT..If you like one one, you'll probably like the other. They are very soulmate destined(if that makes any sense) type books. I think they would do well in middle and high school age range, but personally I didn't find them great.
    
      I'm reading 
  
... I think I'm the only person reading it who hasn't been completely blown away with it. I feel like there's something wrong with me..I'm loving Peterson's writing style, the lush world he creates and the sense of history (my knowledge of the American Civil War is limited, so I'm presuming it's historically accurate?), but it's a bit slow and the action is very few and far between.
Absolutely besotted with Fin though, she reminds me of Katniss circa book numero one. Bit trigger-happy though...
I'm going to stick with it...but I'm a bit disappointed with it.
      About 150 pages into 
  
.. not sure what's taken me so long to pick it up but I'm really enjoying it :)

We get those watches all the time here in IL.

Hmmm. I bought this for 99 cents for my ereader (that I am still yet to use). Hope it gets better.
      I have Fiddlers Gunn too, just haven't read it yet. It looks good.I'm TERRIFIED of Tornado's. And that storm is supposed to hit me tonight and tomorrow and I'm going to be at the flipping Zoo when I'll want to be at home and close to my basement! I'm trying not to get wound up about it. Maybe it'll pass us by.
      Thanks for all the input everyone! It seems like Jellicoe Road is a favorite around here, but last night before bed I picked up If I Stay (being the shorter of the two) and headed to bed without checking the computer. I'm sure I'll blow through If I Stay and be onto Jellicoe in no time :)Jennifer wrote: "...We just rode out some damnedbig tornadoes..."
These tornadoes are getting scary! I'll keep you in my thoughts :/

      Laraine wrote: "Just finished 
! There were a lot of laugh out loud moments I loved it. :) Now I can't wait to get my hands on Piper's Son."I loved Piper's Son! It's my second favorite Melina book, after Jellicoe Road. I hope you love it too.
      I am a huge fan of Piper's Son too (it has nothing to do with my slight (really small) crush on the the audiobook narrator)
    
      I'm still trying to find deals on the audiobook. I want to listen to it. It's one of the few books I'd consider rereading.
    
      I've just started 
  
, which I've heard from HUNDREDS of people is great, but I've put of reading it for years because it sounds so disturbing! I have to be in the right frame of mine if I'm going to read something really upsetting, so I'm not sure if I'll make it through the book this time or not.

      Oh, interesting! I kept hearing how good it was, but had to REALLY steel myself to read a book that starts off with a young girl's rape and murder.

Oh, I used their advanced search for audiobooks and it didn't give me those results!

      I just finished Heist Society and LOVED it!! Now I've started Princess of the Midnight Ball...it's interesting so far!! I always enjoy a good fairy tale re-telling!!

Don't feel bad, I thought the same thing for a minute or two...then I was like "Oooohhhh, they meant Melina Marchetta...MM...Melina Marchetta...oops.."
      i just finished reading 
  
 and I LOVED it! I can't believe i waited so long to read this series, going to get the next book next time I go to the store =D
    
      I really liked The Lovely Bones too, Jody. One of those polarizing books, I think.So excited for you to be reading VA Kristen! It's such a fun series.
      Does anyone know if you can change the defaults on viewing messages so the current message is displayed first? I just quickly explored settings and couldn't find anything.

      Lloyd wrote: "Does anyone know if you can change the defaults on viewing messages so the current message is displayed first? I just quickly explored settings and couldn't find anything."At the top right of this section, there is an option to sort by date. It is below and to the right of the title of the thread. It's always been there, but is easy to miss. Is that what you mean?
ETA: It also moves the comment box to the top of the page. And I'm still trying to figure out Newest.
      I think he wants it set so it always starts on the newest comment without changing it each time. Is that right Lloyd?
