Love love LOVED "Daughter of Smoke and Bone"... Cover does not do it justice--truly one of the most imaginative books I've read.

Just started Worldshaker by Richard Harland
. So far, very interesting, hoping to finish this weekend. Got a cool Steampunk vibe.

last night and so far I really like it."This was one of my top reads last year! Looking forward to the 2nd one,

Started
and within 2% (putting this behind spoiler tag even tho at 2% I don't think it counts) (view spoiler)If you've read it I could use your advice.["br"]>["br"]>
Just finished
. I liked it better than the last one. But I missed Conall. He wasn't in the book all that much. Looking forward to the next. I should be able to pick it up from the library tomorrow or Monday.

I have an ARC of this but haven't read it yet. Must admit this sounds REALLY weird!
LOL. At least you have warning now! I was sitting at my desk at work and was like WHAT??!?!?But I'm going to adjust what I expect and push forward.
I am reading
. I am only about 20% of the way through, but I REALLY like it so far!! It is a modern day novel that tracks the "Real story" of Romeo and Juliet. SO good!!
i havent been on in weeks, the holidays have taken a number on me for not read as much as i wanted but i have just got these
so i hope to start these tomorrow :)

I'm finished with
Print, and I have to admit, it kept me up so late! Such an interesting premise.
Now I have to read the sequel when I don't need to sleep:)
Just finished At Grave's End. Love that Cat and Bones! Now, I'm starting to read Hunted. Hopefully, more High Priestess drama from Zoey and less messed-up love life this time around. :)
I just finished
and am right back to my restless "what now?" (Wake didn't thrill me enough to want to jump into Fade)Just not sure what I'm in the mood for.
Sigh.

I noticed these on your shelf- liked both of them-
and
.
I must be a minority again as I REALLY didn't like
. Seemed it took forever to make a point and made very little sense to me.

I am thinking of starting
. Has anyone read this? The reviews are mixed. I would like some opinions. Thanks.
Jennifer wrote: "I am thinking of starting

There's a lot going on, and it may seem jumbled as you begin to read it, but it all comes together and makes sense by the end. It's a bit of a mystery and I had fun trying to piece the clues together as I read. I'd definitely recommend it.

Lauren wrote: "Going to start Forever tonight need a great teen read after reading The White Queen"Ugh! I would have been happy if she ended at Shiver (except I liked Cole and he was not in Shiver).
Melodie wrote: "I must be a minority again as I REALLY didn't like

As you know Melodie I am not into paranormal YA books so it will take a lot to win me over. We shall see! It is def. better than books I quit like Mortal Instruments so far so I am hoping it wins me over.
For me I think the real world setting or Prague is part of why DOSB worked for me, as well as the artsy main character.
Cassi aka Snow White wrote: "For me I think the real world setting or Prague is part of why DOSB worked for me, as well as the artsy main character."Yeah..I am not all that into artsy characters like you Cassi. That is one of the reason I was not as into Lola and the Boy Next Door as much as Anna (still liked it though). But then again I am far from artsy in real life so it is natural to be drawn to characters you can relate to.
There's a line for me with artsy characters. There's just enough (Karou falls into this) then there's trying too hard. I love just enough and get really annoyed with trying to hard very fast (a little too hipster for me). I suppose I am a tad artsy so that makes sense.

I didn't like the Mortal Instruments either! I only read the first one and hated it! I thought I was the only one!

I just started reading Open Minds by Susan Kaye Quinn and am super excited. I've been wanting to read this one for a while now.
Shadow of the Moon quick werewolf series i have enjoyed the first 3 books and this fourth one is introducing new characters and a creature, \\ I read the first 80 pages in one setting
