In the last few weeks I have read The Reluctant Assassin, The Trouble with Flirting, The Selection and The Elite. I have also re-read Webber's Easy. The re-read was probably my favorite of all of the above. I think I'm in a bit of a book funk.Oh! I forgot I also read Code Name Verity, which was excellent but took me forever to get through!

I recently finished
which was really slow, but interesting.
Hi all. Seems I'm in a terrible book reading slump lately. I'm in the middle of several different comic collections, re-reading things I've enjoyed in the past.
, which I am LOVING. Forgot how much I liked this title.
, which I'm discovering I'm not as fond of any more. (The short stories, especially, don't really do it for me. And this omnibus is full of them.)
started out a little slow, but is building up steam. (I really enjoyed this book back in the day). And I'm still enjoying the hell out of
. My first space-opera love.Meanwhile, however, books have fallen to the wayside. Nothing is calling to me.
Sorry Lloyd. Hope you find a book you love.
I'm reading
which is pretty terrible. But it's the type of problematic bad that needs a review so I'm pressing forward right now.

Wow, I haven't been in here for a long time! I was thinking about it why putting up a post on my blog and thought I would see what was happening. :) I recently finished Hidden by Marianna Curley which was decent.
I have been reading

because Rob talked about it a few times since he was in the movie and it made me want to read it again.
Yeah, I really want to like Bitterblue, but as you said, Heidi, there is not enough action.
Still just reading various graphic novels (mostly caught up in The Walking Dead series at the moment), but I'm feeling the desire to get back into a regular book...soon. I'm thinking about it anyway, which is better than the past month.Though I still read my son to bed every night. Various Encyclopedia Brown and Magic Tree House books. Mostly we're currently into
. He just saw the trailer for the 2nd Percy Jackson movie and is very excited to see it. (I sure hope it's better than the first...which was terrible.)
I am reading Sovereign by Ted Dekker
I'm reading
by Cat Winters. I'm loving it! It takes place in 1918 San Diego and revolves around the life of Mary Shelley Black, a teenage girl from Portland, Oregon. She deals with World War I, the flu epidemic, and Spiritualism.
Reading
and because the previous book is a galley only available in adobe editions

Just finished
which was fabulous and I highly recommend it.Got
and
from the library. I'm half way through the first book and I absolutely love it. Great writing, funny, unique. Another series on the highly recommended list.
Glad I read the updates to this post! Just added the first book in the Necromancer series to my To Read list! I'd never even heard of this author!

It's been a long time since I posted, but it's been a miserably tough year over here and I need a fabulous, frivolous book that I can love without having to think about it a lot. Those kind of books are therapy. So. Suggestions? Please?

(and the rest of the series) is one of my favorite "fabulous, frivolous" reads.

and
Thanks, Theo and Heidi. I know my tbr pile is ridiculous. I have no self control. I'm starting Soulless now, and then moving onto the ones Heidi suggested.
Let me know if you end of loving or hating them Mandi!
Just starting
! Since I tend to read similarly to Bethany, I decided to give it a try, and I'm liking it so far!
Finished
and loved it. Thanks Heidi. Currently reading
and enjoying it as well. Thanks to Heidi and Theo.

Les wrote: "Just starting ! Since I tend to read similarly to Bethany, I decided to give it a try, and I'm liking it so far!"woo hoo! I hope you like it. I was pleasantly surprised by it :)
Finally reading
, and I love it so far! Although it's kinda hard to read something from the POV of a "mean girl."

I've read The Keys to the Kingdom. I thought they were pretty good as long as you don't read them one after another. If it doesn't catch your attention, though, don't push through it.
