I had read the books before the series started and felt i couldn't then watch the program as i wasn't into it as much as the books. ;(
I just finished the Nine Lives of Chloe King by Liz Braswell. It was ok. The TV Series seems to be better by far

I am still hanging out in IN and have been for the last 2 1/2 weeks so I have read
and am working on
(for a second time) and
The best YA I've read all summer (besides the one I wrote:) is The Absolutely True Diary of a Part Time Indian. I'm always looking for quality "boy" books and this is absolutely a good one.
I know some of you are book bloggers so I am going to extend a invitation to those that are book reviewers to participate in my first ever blog tour that I am putting together for a goodreads author Jody Kihara's book White Witch Pond. It will be Oct. 9th-22nd and she will be giving the reviewers a ebook. Contact me at booklady2007@gmail.com

Reading
on audio. Loving it!
I finished
and now I'm reading
I've been away for a couple of weeks, during which I read a few books that were waiting on my Kindle:
Sadly none of them got more than 2 stars from me, but they tided me over til I got home to my library :)
Now I'm pondering over what to start next:
?
I also read
and
and I wasn't a fan of both.You can look up my reviews if you want, but I'm number four got only 1 star and Matched 2 or 3 but it wasn't special like other books I already read.
do you know the Fever Series by Karen Moning oder The Darkest Power trilogy by Kelley armstrong - they are great :)

I agree, both series are awesome!
Martina wrote: "I finished and now I'm reading "Let me know how Extras is...I read the trilogy and loved it, but never picked up Extras because I had other stuff on my list...is Tally and David in this intallment?
Finished
which was quite enjoyable as a knitter & kind of a nice divergence from what I typically read. Started
(At least that's what I think I started...)
Lisa wrote: "I agree, both series are awesome"thanks. Do you know series, which are quite as great as they are? I read hunger games already and now I read the uglies series - but I'm almost through and now I need somehting new :)
have you read city of glass by Casandra Clare? Is is great! Morganville vampires is also good
Also Beautiful Darkness is good - only two books in the series, but I enjoyed them
Melissa wrote: "Let me know how Extras is...I read the trilogy and loved it, but never picked up Extras becau..."you already read the trilogy and didn't continue with the fourth book? I couldn't do that :) - so I kept reading Westerfelds book and at first it was upseting, because the whole city is different and there are also different characters. But after a few pages I really got into the main character Aya, she's really likeable and after a while, even Tally and the others showed up. But the main story is about Aya. But its good so far :)
Lisa wrote: "have you read city of glass by Casandra Clare? Is is great! Morganville vampires is also good...."yeah, of course I already read everything from CC - also everything from Stephenie Meyer ( I loved host) - so now I'm out of good books :(
but I don't know the morganville vampires - but to be true, I'm kind of have enough of vampire books at the moment.
what is it about the beautiful darkness - dont know that.
Beautiful Darkness One of my most favorite books is Nineteen Minutes - Jodi Picoult...it really makes you think
thanks for the recommendation, but the 'chaster chronicles' have 3 books contained and the fourth will be published 2012. did you know that?
no..will have to get the third and waitfor the fourth...cool
haha, guess so. :)thanks

The main character's dialect doesn't bother you? I only have the sample, but I haven't gotten to it yet"
I guess I am used to it because I read The Knife of Never Letting Go (TKONLG) first and that book has similar dialect. When I read TKONLG it put me off for at least 50 pages and I almost gave up.
