That's really disappointing since I actually bought that one...
I have just finished reading
, about to start reading
I loved Deception! Not really into books about ghosts but this was not too creepy and had a interesting story ;)

I know...it sucks. Especially since it won the vote for March :/ Well, hopefully other people enjoy it. I'm gonna try to finish it today so I can post the discussion topics. It's not awful, it's just not very exciting and it focuses too much on the love relationship of the characters.
I started
today, I haven't been able to put it down yet. :) Does anybody have any suggestions for a really good, fun, lighthearted, book with minimal romance? It doesn't have to be YA or even fiction for that matter. I could really, really use one of those about now.

Lighthearted book ideas -
,
Dairy Queen OR anything by Meg Cabot
I finished
, really enjoyed it. Think I actually liked it more as I watched the TV show so I wasn't as confused with all the different characters and perspectives.Started
last night and am almost done with it, safe to say I'm really loving it.Will start either
or
next.

Have UNDER THE NEVER SKY in The Pile. The Blue Bloods books just weren't for me. I think I read the first 3 of them and then gave it up.
I just finished
and
, both of which were great. I've just started
because a bunch of the high school students I work with have been reading and enjoying them.I really want to read
and
but I haven't bought them yet.

I have about 75 pages left! I'm so loving this book!
Heidi wrote: "How is everyone reading Bitterblue? I am so jealous."There was a giveaway for it I'm pretty sure.
Heidi wrote: "I have been trying to win a giveaway on here for over two years with no luck. Boo!"aww really that sucks. I just joined like last year and I've won 11 books. If you write a lot of reviews you have a better chance to win.
I'm glad to hear that the Graceling sequels are good! I'll have to add them to my never ending list.
I have written a review for almost every book I have read (688 books) and been on Goodreads for over 3 years so that can't be it. :(

Pity party for me Marisa! I will add that I won two books right when I started on GR -- but it is has been a long dry spell since.

I've heard it's a really good book but I have no idea of what the book is about.
Matched and Crossed are both good. They're dystopian novels, so the general society seems perfect but really somethings wrong kind of thing. I know that doesn't make them sound exciting, but they're actually pretty good, although Crossed felt more like a set up for #3 then anything else.

Yes, I got an ARC from my librarian. I just finished it around two am. It was good. I still like Graceling best, but Bitterblue was really good. It was kinda heavy, a bit darker than Graceling. But it was very good, hard to put down, that one!

Bethany my library never gets ARC's! At least not that I ever notice. I am so excited to get it in May!
Hello. This months featured author is Matt de la Pena. If anyone has read his books (*cough* Cassi) please join us in the thread for some insight/recommendations. Thanks!
