     I HIGHLY recommend The Help on audiobook. It has won awards and I think it makes it easier to understand the characters dialects. Anywho, I am not sure if I want to see the movie yet. Depends on the reviews.

"How was Blood Red Road? I just reserved it from my library."
It was good and a quick read. Reminded me of THG plus The Knife of Never Letting Go with a pinch of Dune, a dash of Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome and Tremors on the side. Didn't love it but it was entertaining. Stormi- I did like Inside Out though... Gets better as it goes...

     I read Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children over the weekend. It was a very enjoyable quick read. I will definitely continue with the series. I was charmed by the photographs. I started reading Iron House last night and I want to go back home and keep reading. It is a great thriller.

Thanks :) I'm nearly done with it. I should be starting Mockingjay tonight. I'm so excited!
 Stormi I really REALLY didn't like Shiver. So don't feel bad. At least you have company. Too slow & melodramatic for me. I wanted stuff to actually happen & people to stop staring longingly into each others eyes.

 Cassi,
      Cassi,Thanks, now I don't feel so bad...lol. I thought it was a bit to overly mushy myself and it wasn't flowing right. I guess its just one of those books you either love or your hate. :)
I am having a hard time right now finding something that just grabs me from the begining and I just can't help but want to read it. :(
 Stormi the second book is even mushier IMO. I looked through your tbr pile and highly recommend

     I liked Incarceron but it's somewhat divisive. Awesome world building. I liked it but others did not. I like Iron King but its fairly romantical (which surprises me that I liked it)

 Funny, I was going to say Shiver over Iron King. I've read both of those and preferred the lyricism of Shiver. But I agree that Hold Me Closer, Necromancer is definitely a better choice. I loved that book too. Definitely not Fallen.

Shiver killed me. And I mean that as no offense to the people who liked it.
 Haha, Shiver is a love or hate type of book. I can completely understand why people don't like it. I am surprised that you liked Iron Knight.

     Edwin, maybe you should finish the Immortals and Forest of Hands and Teeth series. I've been stuck between a lot of indecision lately about what to read next, but I've decided that if I have any series to finish, then I'm gonna finish those first. Kinda like to keep myself organized, haha.

That makes two of us who are surprised. lol. Happens sometimes.

I have a tendency of jumping around series to get some diversity (doesn't help that I pick titles that are too similar sometimes). I have been dreading finishing the Immortals because I read books 1-5 back to back (I guess sometimes I like torturing myself too) and got tired of them. But I'll definitely Check out Hold Me Closer Necromancer. Thanks for the help :)
 I just finished Mockingjay... I was putting off reading it cause I wanted to try to stretch out the trilogy... whew, what a fantastic three books. I'm blown away by Suzanne Collins' imaginativeness. The level of detail was amazing.
