I just joined this group this morning, thanks to my friend Becky. I am currently reading Aurelia and have read the first couple pages of The Second Short Life Of Bree Tanner. I am excited to see that the few books I have seen mention here so far I have either on my shelf waiting for me OR are t least already on ly to-read list.
Heidi, I have been on GR for a while and yes, my list is quite long. I am scared to see what it will be like now that I have found this group,lol
Thank you Emily, that one sounds good too.I just added to my tbr list. I just wish I had more time to read,lol. and the real kicker is my boys are done school on Wed so I will have even less time,lol.
I am currently reading Saving Rafael by Leslie Wilson and How To Ruin My Boyfriend's Reputation by Simone Elkeles. Simone is an amazing writer and it seems real once you read her books. Check her out?
Thank you Bluemoon. My husband and neighbor are out by the bonfire, is it bad that I want to stay in here and read,lol
I finished Second Helpings this morning. Oh, how I love Marcus Flutie. This one had such a good ending that I'm stopping there for a while and will read something else next. Maybe Rules of Attraction or Leaving Paradise.

That's one of my fave non-YA books, Becca. I just loved Aibileen.
Isn't that an awesome read. I loved how I got so caught up in the book the I actually felt all the emotions along with the Characters!!
I started Dark Lover and so far it is just OK. Tried to buy Leaving Paradise for my Kindle and it wasn't available so I bought Rules of Attraction instead.
Just in the middle of Perfect Chemistry andShiver . Not entirely blown away for the time being. We'll see
I need to get around to reading The Help. I have heard nothing but good about it, but I just don't know if that will be a book I can get into. Aww Shannen I thought you would really like the BDB books! I'm about to order Lover Revealed, can't wait to read it!
Kourtni - I'm going to keep reading it so we'll see how it goes. I like Wrath so that helps. And you really need to read The Help! It is a great book and the characters are wonderful women. I liked Hush, Hush when I read it and I will read the sequel but it isn't a mind blowing kind of book.
Mercy - I really liked both of those books. You'll have to let us know what you think when you've finished them. :)

Shannen- I really liked Wrath too and he is not even my favorite brother. I hope it gets better for you. That's kind of how I feel about Hush, Hush. It might not be amazing but it's interesting enough. I will have to bump The Help up on my TBR list if it is that good!
The Help really IS that good. Really.

right afterwards and that restored my faith that a smart and wonderful YA romance can still be found out there.
Okay, okay you guys convinced me! Especially since it is your favorite book ever Heidi! :) I will squeeze it in soon. Ugh I am getting overwhelmed with all the books I want to read! I wish I read faster...
Becca wrote: "Then it's definitely a good one to start with. The audio has been fabulous so far."Ohh yeah! Someone else that is listening to it on audio that I can talk to. Aren't the 3 narrators wonderful?
I'm an audio virgin too. If I had a long commute, I would definitely go the audiobook route.
I'm thinking about puting it on my ipod and listening to it at work! I need to get all set up to get audio from the library I suppose, it looks pretty expensive if you're buying.
The three different narrators are fantastic. I love all of them. I was surprised at how young Skeeter sounded until I realized she was only 23. Made me laugh at myself.

Heidi I loved North of Beautiful! I didn't always follow the mapping references but it made me want to start geocaching
I loved North of Beautiful as well. It was so sweet and not really all that predictable. I didn't have a particular liking for relationships where the dude is younger than the female before reading this book, but I'm cured of that prejudice now. :3Oh and I'm currently reading
I just finished Sloppy Firsts. I'm torn about this book. I kind of liked it, but I didn't love it. After reading some of the comments on this thread, though, I think I'll give the second one a try. Now I'm reading
I am currently reading
and
.I'm finding it hard to read Nightfall. It just isn't grabbing me. I am also trying to start
and once again it is just not grabbing me.
I'm on Rebel Angels by Libba Bray and it's going pretty slowly for me. I'm only about 200 pages in but it feels like I've been reading it forever :[
