[Cassi aka Snow White]

So I went to the library & got Fire Study. I liked Poison Study & Magic Study & I know it's not suppose to be as good but what am I suppose to do? Just not know??

I got some other books but before getting into anything else I want to get this series done.

[Peep (Pop! Pop!)]

Stormi, I have an insane amount of books to read this month! I wonder if I can get 25 books read? I'm already behind with that goal.

[Laura]

Cassi-I think if you liked Magic Study, you'll also enjoy Fire Study. At least, I did. For me, the beginning of Fire Study dragged, but it eventually picked up. By the end, I was completely satisfied and was really glad that I finished it.

lol! yeah, finnikin should be required reading! have u read jellicoe road? its really good as well...

[Lani]

Finished Lover Avenged and have moved onto Lover Mine. I don't know what I'm going to do when I have to read a book not in this series,lol. This is my 7th book in a row in this series.

[Tintin]

I usually read a bunch of books simultaneously. Right now on my currently-reading list are:
- -
And also on my lost-interest-but-will-continue-later list:
and .

I started losing interest in Harry Potter's storyline from Book 4. JK Rowling could've made the story better if she chopped her ginormous books by half and employed an editor, IMO.

Percy Jackson was interesting, but the writing style was too jarring for me. Too many short sentences and paragraphs. I read Judy Blume's books for children, and I never felt like the writing was being dumbed down like in the Percy Jackson books!

[Peep (Pop! Pop!)]

@Isamlq - yep, and I liked that one too.

@Lani - try the Psy-Changling series by Nalini Singh.

[Gwennie]

Finnikin is ordered and should arrive by the 14th (usually earlier since Amazon overshoots).

[Peep (Pop! Pop!)]

Happy Dance! Happy Dance!

[Rosabelle]

I'm currently reading by Jeff Kinney because I watched the movie and it was really funny..

[Jaimie]

My library doesn't have Finnikin but I may buy it this weekend since it seems to be a super fav of Peeps and she can be a tough judge.

I'm so jealous! I love the Drake Chronicles and cannot wait to read
Out for Blood!!!

Right now I'm listening to Dark Flame. Anyone else sick of Ever? I feel like she never learns and keeps making the same mistakes over and over! The series seems to be dragging on. Also, I really don't like the way the narrator does Haven's voice. It sounds like she's got a really bad head cold! Maybe it's just me...

I totally agree with you Heidi! Ever is such a pain! I really liked the first two books but after that it only went downhill.

[Sarah]

I just started Reckless by. Cornelia funke
And so far it's a really great read. I like it a lot better than the Inkspell books.

Glad I'm not alone! Nothing against Alyson Noel, it just could have been a trilogy! Has anyone read Radiance?

[Stormi (StormReads)]

Hey all,

I was wondering if anyone has read The Mediator series by Meg Cabot. I got the first one from the library and well I was just wondering if anyone liked it or not, debating on reading it the other book I was reading just isn't sucking me in right now.

I have and I loved The Mediator series!

[Heidi (yabibliophile)]

I enjoyed the series. My middle schoolers love it. I thought it was fun :)

[Amanda]

I did get a copy of Finnikin so I am starting that tonight after I finish re-reading Dreamfever ; )

Yeah, I read Radiance. I thought it was VERY juvinile compared to the Evermore series. It was a very short read and I was glad for it, it did nothing for me. I would recommend it for 10-12 year olds.

[Amanda]

Oh crap. I just got my copy of Outlander from the library. Now I have to decide if I want to read Finnikin or Outlander first.....

Tintin, I second that! I read all the Potter books and wasn't taken. It's quite possible there's something seriously wrong with me, but her writing felt bloated. (Potter fans, don't hurt me!) And speaking of Percy, I had the same reaction. I couldn't get past the Potter parallels, which felt numerous. I'm told the series gets much better, but I don't know. I doubt I'll make the effort.

On another note, I'm halfway through The Adoration of Jenna Foxand loving it. I'm digging her voice and the plot is unfolding nicely.

Jenna Fox is one of my all time favorite books! A group of my middle schoolers are reading it for literature circles and having great discussions about it.

Azkaban was my favorite. Harry's confrontation with Sirius was, in my troubled opinion, Rowling at her best.

[Gwennie]

Oh crap, now Peep and I can argue about which one you should read first.

OUTLANDER!!!!

[Peep (Pop! Pop!)]

Not! Read Finnikin. Outlander is a commitment. 850 very, very long pages of detailed commitment. Just read Finnikin to get it the awesomeness out the way. You're welcome.

[Gwennie]

Outlander is definitely a commitment. A commitment that you should read first. Then when you are floating in a sea of emotion you can pick up Finnikin as the icing on the cake. :)

[Laura]

Just finished and thought it was just okay. I think I'm one of the few who is not a fan of Laurie Halse Anderson.

Finnikin and Outlander are both checked out at my local library. :(

[Book]

Started

[Heather]

I'm reading Blood Promise, from the Vampire Academy series. I've been saving it for this month! I'm so excited I finally get to read it! It's my guilty pleasure.

[Gwennie]

Starting Mockingjay!

The end of Catching Fire blew me away!

[Heidi]

Harry Potter rocks. Jaimie you should buy Finnikin!

[Michelle]

Finnikin is the bomb. One of my Top 5 faves last year across genre.

[Stormi (StormReads)]

Is anyone in here doing the Dewey 24 read-a-thon? I am. Got my books all lined up, but they could be subject to change if I get bored reading them..LOL


I tried to keep my fun October type reads and doubt I will get through all of those..Jaws is my modern classic fun read if I ge a chance...lol

I have not heard of that read-a-thon. I loved Shadowland.

[Stormi (StormReads)]

Heidi,

Its a readathon that is held every year in October in the memory of a person (Dewey) who use to host readathons..I never knew the person but I have did the readathon for the last two years. :)

I just got this one in the mail today, so I can't wait to see if you like it!

[Book]

So far it's a solid 'okay with good bits sprinkled in,' and it didn't really get into the full swing of things until I hit the hundred-page mark. The narration style has been a tough sell for me (too ordinary teen girl-ish, I'm not reading a diary so it jumps at me) but I'm enjoying it now and I may like it better by the end. If I had to rate it now, I'd say 3.5/5

[Amanda]

I think I will read Finnikin first then and only because I read Before I Die last week and balled my effin' eyes out. I'm good on emotion for a while. I'm going to try to fit some reading in on the treadmill today, I'll keep u posted on Finnikin.

[Amanda]

o.k. so I guess I didn't realize how many Outlander books there are. Wow. Are they all as big as the first? Are they all as good?

[Peep (Pop! Pop!)]

Yes, they are all that big (or bigger) but I don't know if they're any good.

[Becca]

They are all huge novels! and I think all of them but the third one are just as good, so far. I haven't read the last one.

[Book]

Just finished and absolutely loved it

now starting

[Tony]

The Adoration of Jenna FoxI'm 2/3s through it. Don't want it to end. Well done.

[Susan]

I'm reading Caught by Harlan Coben and it's really really good! Keeping me on the edge of my seat trying to figure out what's going on!!

[Cassi aka Snow White]

Just finished Saving Francesca by you guessed it MELINA MARCHETTA.

It's really really good, maybe not Jellicoe Road brilliant but well what is? Her books have a way of speaking to me and reading very genuine. They never strike me as preachy but I feel like I walk better for having read them. So yeah, go add this to your TBR pile too folks.

[Stormi (StormReads)]

Amy, I have never heard of The Eyeball Collector, but it sounds interesting..can't wait to hear what you think of it.

Susan, Caught sounds very good! Its going in my TBR Pile. :)
