Just finished Bringing up the bones by Lauren Ziess, which was a wonderful surprise. YA romance with a dose of reality. Going to start Graffiti Moon it has wonderful reviews and I'm beyond excited.

I finished around lunchtime. It was a pretty quick read, but I loved very minute of it. Great book!

Which book Graffiti Moon or Bringing Up the Bones? And if Graffiti Moon excited that you loved it.....only adds to my confidence that I wont regret buying it. Or if Bringing up the bones, what did you think of the ending?

Oh, I meant Graffiti Moon :) it was very good. I wish it would have been a bit longer, but I loved it. It made me laugh and the characters were great. I definitely don't regret buying it, especially since I will most likely read it again in the future.

[Benji]

Currently reading and it's really quite good. I'm a fan of video game conversions and Star Wars both; I think I'm basically this book's target audience. I'm enjoying it: I think that Sean Williams has converted the path of game-play into a narrative story well, remaining faithful to the video game yet making sure it doesn't read like a walkthrough.
I've also just started reading . I haven't got very far just yet, however what I have read has been of the usual high standard. Enjoyable and exciting as always.

[Bethany]

Just finished which was much better than I thought it would be.

Now on to . On the tail of Graffiti Moon and re-reading Anna and the French Kiss(a favorite), I find myself craving some good realistic fiction. I hope this one lives up to the reviews!!

[Gwennie]

I have Five Flavors, it looks good.

[Melodie]

isn't really grabbing me right now, so I also started .

I actually liked this series, especially the idea behind it. I too had issues with the author's writing style. I thought the relationships were incredibly unreal and unexplained. What motivated the characters wasn't really realistic imo, but the third book is what really sold the series for me. The end of was awesome.

[Brandi]

I'm reading and from Netgalley and I'm also re-reading .

I'm on the second book now, and it's just not grabbing, just like the first book. I hate to have to wait until the third book to actually start liking the series. But I have the third and fourth book out from the library, so I'm sure I will read them.The idea behind these books is awesome, but the author's writing really does leave something to be desired. Today when reading I noticed he kept using the same word for something over and over again within the chapter. My goodness, man, pick up a thesaurus and change it up!

[Becca]

lol! No kidding.

The fourth isn't part of the series really. This particular series was a trilogy, then he wrote another book from the same dystopian world, just so you're aware.

[Arphaxad]

Finally finished , which was painful, and moved on to , which is strange but interesting so far :)

[Jim]

I thought that the trilogy was interesting, but it didn't grab me nearly as much as the Midnighters series did.

I also didn't care for , but that's due to a pet peeve of mine. (view spoiler)[If you want to use a new main character, that's fine. I'd appreciate it, though, if your new main character isn't required to save the day from something that the old main character is about to screw up. (hide spoiler)]

[Melodie]

I just am REALLY not liking . I thought it would be really good, but it's really not. The main character, Ember, is pissing me off to no end. I'll finish it because I don't have that much more to go, but I won't read the next one!!

This is disappointing to hear. I was really looking forward to this book. I'll still give it a try, tho.

The "world" in this one is actually quite interesting. It's like the "moral majority" had finally taken over and women in particular have been set back 100 years or more, but Ember is useless.

Painful? Too bad, particularly when the cover is so pretty:)

[Dedria]

Right now I'm reading it's slow starting but I've heard only good things so I'm sticking to it

That one takes awhile - at least 100-150 pages to get into.

I LOVE Anna and the French Kiss! :)
Just about to start Cinder!

[Melodie]

Did NOT like ! Gave it 2 stars for the "world" and for Chase, the male main character. The female lead character was worthless! Going to start this evening.

Oh no, I loved Article 5. But I really loved Blood Red Road- and don't hold it against the book that I liked both of them- I think you'll love it too! :) I had problems getting into it at first because of the dialect but after a few pages, I was fine.

Cinder is a great book!

Like Jessica said the dialect is different in Blood Red Road. I think she copied a little off the Chaos Walking books (which I love!)

[Christine]

I am current reading of the Iron Fey Series, so far all the book have been of my liking, with just a couple of thing I don't like about the authors writing. But it's nothing real it's just a minor thing. So far I can't stop reading.

Love that series. Have Iron Knight just waiting...:)

[Juliann]

Just read and loved it! Seriously a solid first book from an author I can't wait to see more of. Solid world building, serious character development, and an author who doesn't flinch from hard things like killing characters. Sigh. Still a little sad about that:)

[Christine]

Juliann wrote: Love that series. Have Iron Knight just waiting...:)

I can't wait to get to that one! Let me know if you like the ending when you finish the series! :) But w/o spoilers please lol.

[Dawn]

Finished loved the series, I did think it ended too soon tho.

Just started

I'm reading this one too and it is also taking me a while to get into. Hopefully it gets better!

I haven't read that one yet, but its on my to read list. I just seem to be in a YA Dystopia lately.

[Caryn]

Half-way through . Has anyone else read this? I like it so far, but not sure if I like it enough to read the next one.

I really liked Dead Beautiful. It has problems and my DH thought it was full of gaping plot holes, but I thought it was fun and different. I read it before the sequel was out so I can't tell you if that's good or not.

[Lindsay]

Currently reading Elves: Rise of the TaiGethen

It is brilliant so far, loads of tension and action, honour and cowardice. Really enjoyable read.

[Bethany]

I'm starting . It's middle grade fantasy, which I don't read much of, but it was recommended to me by a friend who read it with her sons when they were growing up and she loves it. So here goes...


Finished . Really liked it!

[Brooke]

I'm reading and HOLY MOLY is this book intense! I am also reading

You read the second book, but not the first? Did you only read the second book because of the movie?

[Theo]

As far as I understand it, the first and second books deal with different characters who then all show up in the third book. So you are meeting the main character of the second book for the first time in the second book, and don't have to read the first book before. I read it because of a class on children' literature I was taking. We had to choose a year and read the Newbery winner and honors. It got a Newbery honor in 1974.

[Juliann]

Susan Cooper is awesome. All of them. Whenever you read them. OHHHMMMMM! So much better than the movie. Such a sad thing to compare the books to the movie.

[Rani]

I'm currently reading and I'm finding it quite interesting, I do love a good mystery :)

i gave it two stars, my review is harsh. I felt the plot was set for a sequel and since the book was on the library new shelf, I picked it up. Now after reading my review I may pass.
