Oh, I'm dying to read Miss Peregrine, too! And I really enjoyed The Season, Mandi, I hope you do, too.

I read (not YA) last night, which was great, and I just started . It seems fun so far, although it seems to skew a little older. It's marketed as upper YA/adult.

Yes. I know this one is a lot of people's favorite and it was still very good, but my favorite was Poppy's book. She surprised me by being a l..."

I really liked Cam's book, so if there are others that are better I'm really looking forward to them.

[Heather]

I'm reading Possession by Elana Johnson and am loving it so far!

[Amanda]

I just finished and I'm going to try to crack open or tonight.

[Kristina]

Yay I loved the ghost and the goth! i did NOT expect to like it as much as i did

Me too, I was pleasantly suprised. It's was nice to read a lighter paranormal book.

[Ashley]

I finished , and next up is !

[Gwennie]

I loved Ghost and the Goth!

[Jen]

I loved the Ghost and the Goth, too. Such a fun book, I thought! :)

reading

[Wendy Darling]

Finished , which was super fun! And I've been peer-pressured into reading next as sort of a buddy read. I'm hoping my non zombie-lover friends are going to forgive me for filling up their feeds with yet another one.

[Jeanine]

Ugh.. I am reading and I am having a hard time getting into it... Please, someone tell me this book gets better. If it gets worse, end my misery and tell me to stop reading :)

[Wendy Darling]

Stop reading, Jeanine!

Hah, well...it wasn't awful in my opinion, there just wasn't much to it. Some people did seem to like it, though.

[Julie]

The girl on the cover reminds me of Taylor Swift, everytime I see it "Taylor Swift!" pops into my head! I'm not even that big of a fan of her.

It really is a hard book to get into... I don't think I am going to finish it. There are just too many good books out there to be spending my time reading one that can't keep my attention :) Good thing I checked it out at the library instead of buying it.

Agreed. :) Sometimes I keep reading for the sake of a review or if I'm so incredulous at how bad it is *cough*FURY*cough* but I've been trying to be better about just moving on if books aren't working for me. Too many good ones to get to!

[Wendy Darling]

PS--it must be the hair, Julie!

Does it ever get better between Quince and... OMG, I forgot the love interests name. That just proves how hard it is for me to get into this book. lol

From what I remember, not really. As so often happens with these series, the author seemed to be saving it for the sequels. Which I did not read. :D

[Leslie]

I am doing a final proof of my own YA Fantasy book, A Marked Past. It will be released in October and I can't wait!

I"m reading

[J.D.]

I'm reading 'The Floating Islands'. A bit random, but its brilliant so far. Big recommendation...

[Sue]

I'm almost done with This Side of the Grave and really don't know what to read next! What should I read everyone? I have Ultraviolet, My Blood Approves, and Anna and the French Kiss as the top 3 on my TBR list. What should I read??

[WTF Are You Reading?]

I wasn't sure about the Sweep series, but I have read and am currently reading I can't seem to get enough!

I have Ultraviolet to read too. It looks good.

I loved Anna and the French Kiss. You should read that one. :)

I vote that you read Ultrviolet

[Cassi aka Snow White]

I started on audiobook. The narrator is good so far. (view spoiler)[ However the main character is such a bitch. Sorry for the language but no other word. I knew that going into it though. This probably don't even need spoiler tags (hide spoiler)]

[Cassi aka Snow White]

Oh and because I am the gossip fairy did any of you read the Slate article that made YA sound completely stupid?

http://www.slate.com/id/2296056/

[Gwennie]

I love your gossip! I'm going to read it now.

I love Jenna Lamia! I think you are supposed to dislike the person you are referring to at first (I never really grew to like her). I had some major issues with the book by the end so I am excited to discuss it with you once you are done!

That was annoying. They're pretty much saying, "We don't like YA because it's trash but we'll write it because we can make easy money off our easy-to-please readers. By easy-to-please, we mean stupid."

There is some bad YA, but there is some really great stuff out there, too.

I know I'm suppose to hate her. I just hope the hatred eases some.

Glad everyone else thought the article was stupid. I actually had trouble reading it--not because I was mad, but because it was just dumb & hard to take seriously. 4YA reviewed their book today--let's just say they didn't like it much (and they'd written review before the Slate article)

I felt the same way, kind of insulted as a huge fan of YA. Frustrating!

[Heather]

I just started reading Possession by Elana Johnson and am loving it. But then, I'm a huge fan of dystopian! Anyone else reading it, or planning to?

[Jen]

that article was annoying. I'm making sure I don't ever read anything by them. Condescending much?

It's like they think YA is crap but they will write it anyway. Wow, just wow. I hate when people mess with YA.

Thanks for the article, Cassi

and to think I almost bought a Katie Crouch book last weekend. Scary.

[Heidi]

Cassi the hatred only eased somewhat for me!

[Awesomevegan (AKA JenReads)]

Today I finished:
In progress I have:

I finished a couple days ago.

[Stormi (StormReads)]

Finished a couple of days ago Wasn't as fond of The Gathering as I had hoped to be, I think I should have started with some of this authors other works because I have heard good things about them, but this one was just so so.

Workin through a lot of adult books but haven't settled on a new YA yet.

[Jennifer]

Just finished , loved it and it was a very quick read. Will start next.

I checked my to-read list for any books by either of them. It was free of their books, and I'm pretty sure that it will stay that way. There are too many other things other to read.

For instance, I'm currently reading Dark Life . I don't konw if I will end up liking it, but at least its author was not condescending toward her readers.

It was up either on Netgalley or S&S Galley Grab. Don't remember which one.

[Katheryn]

Exile - a Mercy novel. Book 2. :)

[Gwennie]

I got it from Netgalley.

[Wendy Darling]

I finished last night, which was SO disappointing...the first half was a 5 star book, the last half 1.5 stars. :/

I also read as a palate cleanser, though, and it was super cute and funny and sweet. :) Oh, plus it's only $1.99 on Amazon right now!

I really enjoy this. Book. I felt it was quiote orginial after so many books jumping on the twilight theme.

[Cassi aka Snow White]

Finished quickly, mainly because I did not feel it was appropriate for Girl Scout Camp.

And next week I'll be 100% offline. Got roped into helping with a week of camp and sometimes you just do things you don't want to for your employers. So yeah, that's where I'll be.

I'm taking , , and my Kindle which has a few books on it including , and .

I do not expect to read all of them (obviously, I'll be working way too much) but I have lots of options. Plus I'm on vacation after that. Don't know if I'm going anywhere or not yet (thinking of driving to WV to visit some state parks)

[Stormi (StormReads)]

I have started this book, its been in my review pile for a while and needed to get to it. So far its not bad but I am only a couple chapters into it.
