     After my recent disappointment with Divergent I am steering clear of both Matched and Delirium. They can't all be Hunger Games or Knife of Never Letting Go. In fact, I am holding out little hope that there will be a good dystopian novel released in the near future. *sigh*

   yesterday and it seems promising so far. It's out of my usual genre, but it was a Kindle Freebie and it sounded good!

 Peggy,
      Peggy, I have been thinking about reading that one..It sounds interesting. So I take it that it must be pretty good if you dont' want to put it down. :)

Well first priority is to finish Feed. There is this BEAUTIFUL area behind the lodge with plastic lawn chairs set ride by a cliffline (not scaryily close) where they've kept the trees clear for the view. Honestly its pretty much perfection as a reading spot.
Then I plan to start

     Currently reading Sentenced to Death by Lorna Barrett. Also reading Bound by Suggestion by L.L. Bartlett (Jeff Resnick Mysteries) on my Kindle. These are actually the same author with different pseudonyms. I really enjoy her Booktown Mysteries and this is my first foray into her Jeff Resnick Mysteries.

Just finished re-reading all the Harry Potter books in prep for the final movie release on Thursday. Also reading Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert and just starting Infinity by Sherrilyn Kenyon.
Very excited to have just receive Rick Springfield's autobiography Late, Late at Night from Borders. That's up next when I finish Eat, Pray, Love. I usually have 3 books going at one time; a cozy, a non-fiction and another.
 Finished The Odd Job Squad and it was cute. It's a middle grade book. Now I don't know what I am going to read.hmmmmmm

 (not as great, so far)!"I didn't find Rosebush to be that great of a book. It was not a bad book but if you just read to great books I think it will be sort of a let down in comparison.
