Ive had the mortal instruments series sitting on my bookshelf for a while now because I was afraid it was going to be bad. Im so glad I finally picked it up. I read all day yesterday and I finished . It all comes down to to see if this series is going to be added to my favorites.

[[deleted user]]

I'm reading . I really like this series. I think it is one of those that has gotten better with each book.

[Jaimie]

Oh Shannen you are going to love that book!

Excellent! Peer pressure worked :)

OoOoOoO City of Glass was my favorite!

Don't get me wrong.. I'm not disappointed. AT ALL. I actually have the The Mortal Instruments hardback boxset. (waiting... just waiting for me!!)
I've also pre-ordered the 1st book in the Infernal Devices. However, I can't read series books unless they're finished. I've tried it. the same with jumping from one book to another and reading more than one at a time. I dunno? I'm a book freak! haha. That's it.
Nah, it has something to do with my ocd. Yeah, that's it. ;-)

[Rebecca]

I dont think I could wait until a series was finished to start reading it. Especially when I hear everyone else talk about how good it is. I definitely can't read more than one book at a time though. I dont know how some of you do that. I would start getting confused.

If I read more than one book at a time they have to be VERY different. Like a realistic adult book & fantasy YA. Usually I only do it via audibooks. I read 1 thing at home and listen to something else when I drive. Usually even my audio and actual books are different genres/very different voices.

Example: It's pretty easy to read the Uglies series & listen to a Harry Dresden novel at the same time. You could probably even read them without much confusion (or Soulless by Gair Carriger, it has such a distinct voice it would be hard to mix-up)

[Lani]

Ok, so I finished Darkfever and just thought it was ok. I'm now onto Bloodfever and it's getting better. I'm starting to see Mac mature, which I enjoy, because I was more mature than she was at 22 and she's driving me a little nuts...

[Crystal]

I just finished reading Julie kagawa'sThe Iron King and The Iron Daughter. I Loved them both! I also just finished reading Rachel hawkins' Hex Hall which I also loved! Now I am reading The Named by Marianne Curley and have the second book of this series The Dark up next. Has anyone else read this series?

LOL made sure that I picked it up today....looks pretty good! I also picked up and , because I've really, well, wanted them. I'm currently reading , which is probably something I should add since this IS a "what are you reading now?" thing...hehe

[Heidi]

Lani I don't know where you posted it, but I know exactly what you are saying about Darkfever (as do Peep, and several others). Mac is totally annoying in the first book and drove us all nuts with her incessant chattering, but she does mature, and get (somewhat) less annoying throughout the series. Stick with it!

[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

Darkfever is one of those books that is quite offputting at first. I wanted to strangle Mac in the beginning. The further that you delve into the series though...it just gets so much better!

[Peep (Pop! Pop!)]

Heidi wrote: "Lani I don't know where you posted it, but I know exactly what you are saying about Darkfever (as do Peep, and several others). Mac is totally annoying in the first book and drove us all nuts with..."

Yes, Mac talked wayyy too much! But I also agree you should stick with it.

I'm up to the fourth book in this series and I love Kate. She's tough but not tough to the point where it's annoying. And she's funny! (yes, I am aware that this is yet another series that I like. Yes, I am aware that I claim to not like series.)

[Dija]

Almost finished with and I adore Mac's character. She's one of the purely strong female characters I've come across, not like all the ones that have this really strong side in front of people but collapse into a puddle of self-pity once they're alone or with their knight in shining armor. I really respect Mac and her decisions.

[Lori]

Alyssa I am glad youare giving Hunger Games a go, I really enjoyedit and so did my husband. Oh and I know someone who just finished reading the Succubus series and she really like it.

Rebbeca, I don't know if you saw but thre has been 3 more book added to the Mortal Instryment series. which has been talked about for a while now and these 2 new ones I just found out about City of Lost Souls (The Mortal Instruments, #5) and City of Heavenly Fire (The Mortal Instruments, #6). #5 & 6 show up under Cassandra's page and are on my TBR list but they don't come up when trying to add a link, sorry.

I finished yesterday and started I also have sitting on my shelf to start from the library.

[Cassi aka Snow White]

Just started The Iron King and really like it so far. I was slightly worried because even though I've heard it's YA paranormal our library has it classified as Romance (which isn't my thing). As long as they don't entirely forget the current plot for a relationship I think I'll be happy with it.

Also listening to An Abundance of Katherines (I like it but not sure I like it as much as Looking for Alaska & the other of his books I've read which I can't recall the name immediately)

[Heidi]

Cassi did you read Will Grayson? I LOVED it!

[Cassi aka Snow White]

Heidi wrote: "Cassi did you read Will Grayson? I LOVED it!"

Not yet. I'm in a "reading what the library" has phase or waiting till paperbacks.

[Caitlings]

I'm reading Nightshadeby Andrea Cremer. And so far, I just don't know enough to say anything about it.

[Christina]

Hi everyone! I'm definitely addicted to YA literature even though I'm a recent college grad...

I'm currently reading I allowed myself to buy it full price at the store (in paperback, of course) thinking...well someday I could put it in my classroom library (I'm elementary certified). In reality, I just loved the first book in this series so much I knew I needed to own it :D

[Lloyd]

Hi Christina - I'm reading that same book right now! I'm really enjoying this series and think I'll eventually buy copies too! (Reading library copies currently)

[Jen]

Reading Only the Good Spy Young...

[Traci]

Just finished , which is not YA but definitely good. It took a while for me to finish mainly because I'm on vacation with my boyfriend. It's a book that would be best read in one sitting because I was reading only a couple pages at a time and I tended to get confused. But I definitely recommend this one!

I'm about 30 pages into and I'm liking it so far.. it's much faster than the other one :]

[Becca]

Just finished Keturah and Lord Death which was interesting. It was written in a first person story-telling style I rarely see, which was fun. Odd but very cool.

[Dija]

Currently reading and I thought I couldn't hate Seth more at the end of the previous book, but I was definitely wrong. And despite the fact the main male character is a moron, I still am really enjoying this book. Mead's such a fantastic author.

I didn't think Nightshade was being published until October? I really want to read this book, how are you all able to read it already? :-)

[Jamie]

I am reading Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead.

[Rebecca]

I just finished and it was awesome! Definitely adding the series to my favs.

Lori, I did see that she has 3 more coming out. I cant wait!!

Now I have no idea what to read next until comes out.

Advance copies are a wonderful thing.

[Alyssa]

I just finished , and am going to start either , or . Which one?

[Rebecca]

Alyssa... wrote: "I just finished , and am going to start either , or . Which one?"

The Hunger Games! You can finish it and Catching Fire just in time for Mockingjay!!

[Reagan]

Jaime wrote: "I've just started reading Inkheart. It's good so far, about a little girl who loves to read books and her father who is a bookbinder. Starts off with great intrigue."

I read it too. It was amazing, but then I started to read the second and third one and just seemed to drag on and on...

[Reagan]

Lisa wrote: "Percy Jackson and the Olympians are fabulous.

Has anyone read or heard anything of "The Last Apprentice" books by Joseph Delaney?"

That is some pretty creepy stuff...

[Reagan]

I really need some new books!!!

[Alyssa]

LOL that was my original thinking for it! Yeah, it's so tempting to read that I'm just going to give in!

[Reagan]

You should read the Hunger Games
Even though it may seem otherwise, the main character is a girl. And Peeta is a boy...

[Reagan]

I ahvent read the other two...

[Stormi (StormReads)]

I'm reading ARC of The Replacement by Brenna Yovanoff, I am only about 34 pages into it but it seems okay so far, it is at least holding my attention. Has anyone read this book yet?

I haven't had a chance to read The Mortal Insturment series, though I have heard its pretty good. I guess one of these days I will have to break down and buy the set.

There are so many series that I haven't read because I just sort of got back into reading YA last year..I am sooooo behind!!!

[Melanie]

About to start Jealousy (book 3) by Lili St. Crow. I was hesitant to try YA but liked her Danta Valentine series a lot. And I haven't been disappoited so far.Lili St. Crow

I've read the Replacement. I really, really liked it. I did find the end a little weird/rushed..or something. But I really love the characters and the way things were creepy without being scary. I liked it.

Oh, I figured it was something like that. How does one go about getting an advanced copy of a book that isn't technically published yet? Just curious, I didn't even know they had advanced copies of books! I guess I am a little behind on all of this stuff! :-)

[Crystal]

Okay, so I am a little excited! I just found out that there is a book exchange right down the street from my house!!!! I took 15 books and traded them in for store credit, and walked out with City of Bones( cost 4.99) and a remaining balance of 20.00 on my account! I would have gotten more books but my 3 year old was being a pain in the backside! lol So, I am starting on City of Bones today... I hope I like it! :-)

Crystal, I am in a couple of Book Tour sites where they take One or Two Arcs and pass them around to who ever signs up (or gets picked if to many sign up) I also get emails from publishers who want to know if I want to review a copy of a book to put up on my blog. It has taken me two years to get it to where a lot of people ask me to review..LOL Check out http://princessbookiearctours.blogspo... and http://darkfaerietales.com/blog-tours/ These are the best places to get ARC's

Just finished Will Grayson, Will Grayson (loved it), and just started Prophecy of the Sisters.

[Grace]

I am new to the site, but want to also suggest The Hunger Games. I thought it was well-written and kept my interest. I also enjoyed "Catching Fire" and can hardly wait for "Mockingjay" to come out in a few weeks!
