Started reading The Lost Hero :)

[Cassi aka Snow White]

Started at Catie's request. Enjoyed the first 3 chapters. Though the thought of all that bleach makes me cringe.

Tomorrow I'm driving up to visit a friend in Athens OH. I'll head over to WV Monday morning (At least that's my game plan).

Kinda strange to be going on vacation. I'm feeling guilty because my dog. I just left her for camp last week.

[Arphaxad]

Just back from a few days in London; rather a lot of posts to catch up on! Should keep me occupied for a good while.. *makes cup of tea*

I've had a few not-so-great books in a row recently - (ugh) - so I'm looking forward to my next library trip ( just came in and is waiting for me)!

In the (hopefully very short) meantime, I'm re-reading .

@Cassi - vacation sounds awesome! Have a great time :)

[Cassi aka Snow White]

Is it weird that I am most excited about buying some awesome postcards?

Seriously folks I have a postcard addiction.

Good to know it was not just me! I mean what was the point of it all? No one important leaned anything IMO! I also thought it dragged on at times and could have been edited down some. Picky picky. I know!

I am having alot of trouble trying to decide which book to read next!! Any suggestions?? I had a few in line.. but after reading reviews I was a little worried. Please give me a few recommendations. Thanks everyone!

[Leah]

Started Gathering Blue by Lois Lowry. Too dismal for me.What do you do on Goodreads with a book you decide not to finish? Mark as read?Post review that you couldn't finish it? Whats fair to the readers and authors?

[Cassi aka Snow White]

You can make a "Did not finish" shelf and post a review of why you didn't finish. That's what I would do.

I made a "couldn't finish" shelf and made it one of the exclusive shelves on my account.
I have read, to be read, currently reading, couldn't finish and reference books as exclusive shelves.

I'm thinking about making a "cookbook" shelf as well since I don't really consider that 'reading' a book.

If I did not finish it and hated it I will review it and normally give it one star, but generally I just make a comment in the book that it was just "not for me" and don't give it any star rating. I only have a few that I only gave one star that I DNF.

Hi, everybody! Been largely offline for a while--spent 3 weeks in Korea visiting the in-laws with a few days sightseeing in China--and rarely had internet access. The relatives don't speak English and I hardly speak any Korean (and my son even less than I do), so we LOVE LOVE LOVE my Kindle! While I was gone I read . I think those were all free (yay!), except for Mistborn, which I had started (library book) just before we left and couldn't bear to wait until we got back to finish and so was forced to buy it :) My son (11 years old) also read Mistborn and liked it even more than I did and is now reading the second one in the series (he has taken it to Boy Scout camp with him). He read an equal number of ebooks and let me tell you, it was not easy trying to pry MY Kindle out of his hands so I could have a turn! Now I'm reading and on the waiting list at the library for (#86 in line), (#251), (#48), and (#13). Anyway, glad to be back, missed all the book talk, and sorry for the lengthy post!

[Ashley]

I'm starting

[Leah]

Thanks Jennifer.Thats what I did. I didn't want to hurt the authors rating by giving 0 stars.Hopefully it won't affect anything. Lois Lowry is a great writer,just didn't click with me in Gathering Blue.

Lots of good reading there. I loved Mistborn! Truly unique fantasy there.

[Shelia]

Finished and loved it!

hey, for me the same. After reading some other reviews (where everyone loved the book) I was thinking I was totally alone with my opinion. And I also thought at the end - what was the purpose of it all, of the book - that in the end - no matter how hard you try to be a better person you still die? Yeah, great message for the teens! *pf* :/
And I really hoped there were a second book and in the beginning she will wake up from koma or something and she and Kent will be together. *so sad*

[Jennifer]

Has anyone read ??? I just finished it.. and I was pleasantly surprised!! I couldnt put it down.. read straight through! I found it to have a very original story line..

[Jenn]

Just started reading and i am liking it so far

[Melissa]

Just started last night and really liking it so far. I wish I wasn't at work so I can just read it!

[Nadine]

I'm almost done reading and I really like it! It's a fun and easy read :)

[Heather]

I'm reading Nightspell and am loving it! But then, I'm a huge fan of the author. It's a great ghost story of a very different flavor.

[Arphaxad]

Nearly finished with ; have really enjoyed it so far!

[Jen]

I'm reading and listening to .

I don't usually read/listen to this many at once. Crazy!

[Kevin]

I'm reading Beverly Hills Maasai by Eric Walters. Loved book 1---Alexandria of Africa. It was set in Kenya...A country I love.

[Tina ♥ Bookaholic]

I just finished and it was nerve recking- but not in the good way, just in the annoying way. But I need to know how it will go on, so now I start with and I hope it'll become better.

[Lauren]

Just started The Little Women Letters and Graceling am in the second chapter of both and both seem promising.

[Lloyd]

I'm once again restless in reading. Just reading bits and pieces of things here and there.

On better news, I sent out some resumes this past Wednesday and had a callback message waiting when I got home later. I researched the company a little (from caller id) to find they are located just blocks from where we are moving. So I called back Thursday, had an interview Friday morning and got a call again Friday afternoon to come back for an interview with the President of the company on Monday morning. I don't want to set myself up, but that sounds pretty promising to me. Keeping my fingers crossed!

Meanwhile...still can't get hooked on any reading lately. (Might be that pressure of unemployment and moving)

[Gwennie]

Sometimes we all just need a reading break. A few weeks regroup and stuff.

Congratulations, I hope it's a big break!

[Tiphaine]

I recently finished and
I love Jacky, she's amazing, can't wait to read the next book! Are they all that good?
I also read and I loved loved loved it

[Shelia]

Reading . So far I'm not loving it as much as I loved ....Luce is really starting to annoy me.

[Peep (Pop! Pop!)]

We're rooting for you Lloyd!!

[Lloyd]

Thank you ladies! I appreciate all the kind thoughts. If this works out - this will be the shortest period of unemployment ever! (Still need to work on self-employment of some sort. I'm really sick of making other people money. But I'd rather work on that part-time at night while having a source of income. Tired of stress.)

Still wish I could get hooked into some book. Maybe I should try something totally out of the norm for me.

That's the ONLY thing I miss about work or the bus ride to/from work. Reading time. My son demands most of my time and has been thrilled with my time off work lately. Which is great and I don't mind one bit. But by the time I get him to bed, I'M beat and go to bed myself. :P

[Stormi (StormReads)]

Okay, so now that I have my kindle, I seem to want to flip through to many books at once..LOL..anyone else like that..its like I get tired of one so I get curious about the others and try a different one..this could be a bad thing for me..lol...aaaaah.

Finished good goblin story. Will be reading the next book in the series. Now I am reading a review book its a Middle grade book.

I am also looking for some good Horror books, YA or General Fiction so if anyone knows a good book please let me know. :) Getting ready for October early. :)

[Brandi]

Currently reading (for the second time). I really enjoy the series and a new book came out this summer so I'm reading my way through them all again. I'm also reading and listening to .

AWESOME SERIES!!"

I have about 100 pages left....sitting on the edge of my seat to see what's going to happen next!

[Heidi]

Hope it works out Lloyd! p.s. I am in a reading slump too. No reason really. Must be the heat. I keep passing out after I read 15-30 pages (I normally read at least 100 per day).

[Liz]

Just started CHASING BOYS. Not at all what I thought it would be. Enjoying, so far.

[Isamlq]

Im done with I'm now reading

[Vanessa]

I'm reading Divergent, and kind of loving it. Finally a lead female character who doesn't get on my nerves.

I loved this series. The third book was my favorite. So. Good!

[Cassi aka Snow White]

So I am almost done with and have concluded this is not a good car-trip audiobook. Mainly because there's a car crash that occurs many times.

It was rainy when I was driving to Ohio. I got off I75 & went I64. Dad later texted me to tell me there were like 30 crashes on I75 due to rain. Somehow I got ahead or behind the storm and after a couple of stopping to wait out the downpour I drove majority of the way dry. Can those who have read this book see why this is not good for listening to it in my car?

Headed to WV from here tomorrow.

I listened to it in the car, but it was over several small trips to work and back. Hope you make it to WV ok !

[Ashley]

Today I will start . I hope it's good because the last few books that I have read haven't kept my interest. I really want to read a good book!!!

[Nadja]

[Nadja]

Um...from your description I am sticking with my initial thoughts to just skip it.

[Stormi (StormReads)]

I started it, but the beginning was to boring for me and I just couldn't stick it out. :( I have heard a lot of good things about it though.
