I just finished "Moonseed" by Stephen Baxter. Totally flat characterization that made it difficult to read. I was thinking about reading "Red Mars" next, but I'm not sure if I'm up for another terraforming book yet. I'll have to drink some wine and ponder it more.

I took FROI back, Tânia. I'm thinking I'm just not in the mood. (It happens ;) Picked up [book:Unwind which has been on my TBR forever, and I'm searching for my next read. More dystopia I think.

No, I'm sorry! I'll go over and look at your review right now to see. I stopped so that I was reading the second just before the second season of the show started. (Though after this I'm going to have a harder time.)

It definitely wasn't better than Graceling, I'd say it was almost as good though.

I reread
yesterday and I cried and cried and cried. Then I went into my room and told my husband, "I don't know why I do this to myself". But I actually do know why...and it hasn't been said in a while so I'm gonna say it. Melina Marchetta is AMAZING!!! PS. I really hope the Jellicoe movie comes to the states because I don't think Looking for Alibrandi got released in the US. And even though there is NO WAY that Jellicoe will be as good in a movie format, I still wanna see it :)
Are they making a movie of Jellicoe Road?? If so I need to fly there to see it! I'm thinking Goodreads road tip!

Yep, Marchetta has been writing the screenplay for it.You can get Alibrandi off Amazon from one of the sellars. i have it in my cart.

Oh. My. God. Must see it! I am so excited!
Finished Juliet Immortal and Entwined. Also, Daughters of Saraqael Trilogy by Raine Thomas. Juliet Immortal was really good. Entwined had potential but the author filled it with waaaaaay too much setting details and had barely no plot. The Daughters of Saraqael Trilogy were pretty good but the plot seemed to repeat itself over and over again in all three books.Has anyone read Spellbound by Lynn Schultz?
I have just finished the hunger games trilogy!I bought the first one yesterday and stayed up until 3am finishing it and then have just finished 2 and 3 today
I just finished City of Bones and LOVED it.I just started City of Ashes.I just love the charactors Jace,Clary,Simon,Magnus,Alec,Izzy,Luke..all of them are so loveable.

Cassi aka Snow White wrote: "Listening to Along for the Ride and hoping Auden gets less obnoxious."I tried that and gave up. I never picked up another Dessen book afterwards.
I'm kinda wanting to punch Auden thus far. Though there's a glimmer of hope that she might stop being so superior and come down a little from her high horse. We shall see.

The story doesn't appeal much to me, but we'll see, I don't want to give up just yet.
I'm finishing up Unwind and All Good Children. I'm surprised the latter didn't get more and better press. And Unraveling (adv copy) came in the mail today.
Engrossed in
I did not think I would enjoy this book so much. I have not cared for any of the other zombie books I have read and I have tried a lot of them.

I haven't been able to force myself to read too much of Incarnate either- I'm about halfway done and could care less about the characters!
Still working on
, I like it so far...it makes me miss home. Which if you would've asked me last summer I'd say home was IN, now that I'm back in IN home is NC! hahaAlso reading

Deeann wrote: "Has anyone every read any of the Hex Hall series by Rachel Hawkins?"Yep :) liked them a lot.
Kayla wrote: "got back into
farther than I was in the beginning and it's actually getting really good."Yay! I'm glad your liking it!
I am too! It is nothing like I expected. I have to say the same for What I Saw and How I Lied. It is really surprising.
