What are you reading now?
Finished
and it was really good. And to make things better have been having a really interesting conversation with the author about teen depression and suicide on twitter. Twitter makes me so happy sometimes. Not only can I talk to people about the books I love I can talk to the authors.Going to start
which I totally stumbled upon at the library on the "New Arrivals" shelf. They also had
so it was a good day at the new arrivals shelf. (Though a pretty dark day. Maybe I should have a thematic October)
I still read a mix of paperbacks/hardbacks and Kindle books, but I have to say this: I'm going on vacation, and I love that I can take my Kindle and know that I'll never (no matter how delayed the plane might be) run out of books to read.I might have to take a pass on reading the author of the month from October; I'm still on
and expect to keep reading this series for a while!
Finished
I gave it a 3.75 as to me it was almost a 4 but not quite as it reminded me a little to much of The Maze Runner and was a bit repititious with the whole I need to escape theme. Over all if you like Dystopian type books you should probably check it out, but I must warn you it has a cliffhanger ending and makes you really want to scream..LOL. I held my ereader and looked at the words over and over again, and said out loud, "Seriously, thats how it ends!" :) Now how long do I have to wait to find out what happens!! :( I hate cliffhangers! :) Variant comes out on October 4th for those who are interested. Now back to
:)

Not just my favorite place in the house. I will surely live there and bury myself with books! Lol. I'll even bring my pillows in my library. Haha. God, when will that happen? *sigh*

I might pop by if I can find something at the library. :)

I am listening to Ready Player One on audio. It is narrated by Will Wheaton and I keep thinking of his (Will's) guest role on Big Bang Theory where he place Sheldon's nemisis. It cracks me up.
Started on
and finished
in audiobook--which is okay, but the back is kinda misleading about what the actual story is and it spends most of the time justifying his actions. The narration is good and its true so I'm glad I listened but I'd say it's a "audio or not at all" type book.

I am reading books by the YA author, Ellen Hopkins. I totally love these books and I cannot keep them on the shelf in the library because the students are always checking them out. Her books include, Crank, Impulse, Glass and right now I am reading Identical!

. Yaaaaaaay! :D"Jealous!"
I'm so excited to be reading it. It feels like I've been waiting years for its release. :P
I just finished reading "Divergent" and loved it! Now I am onto what I hope will be a funny light read "The Vampire Stalker"! Amy, you'd better hurry up and read "Silence". :)
I've also read Tempted and now I'm stucking in the middle of the seventh HOuse of night book. How do you like this series?
Possess is good so far, different, but good. I'm still really debating about it because it's just one of those books that you can't put down, but you're not sure if you just like it or you love it.HON is alright, it's gotten annoying 6 books in, but I'm trying to read all of them. It's probably going to take me a good month or so to read Tempted though because of how much I dislike reading it already. ><
yeah, for me it's the same. But I'm kind of a freak and I can't just stop - I always have to finsh a book series. Wether I like it or not! Hope it will get better again :/
