(Scorch Trials) It's hard to imagine that anything would justify what was done to those kids, Lani. I can't wait for the last book and an explanation.
Finally got around to reading
. I can't put it down! It's the fastest read I've had in a while... still racing to finish the book tonight!

Free shipping if you're in the U.S! Love that site haha."
Thanks for sharing. Checked it out and ended up buying several books on my TBR list I have been waiting for at the library (way to small for our area) for sometime. The books were on their clearance list for $3.00 each and no shipping how could I resist!

Hey Jamie you changed our profile picture. I like it. It is much more dignified, just like all our members *cough* *cough*

and it was just weird. Creepy and weird. I'm not sure how I feel about it yet.

I just finished the hunger games trilogy, and I loved it. It's not the average young adult fiction and reminds me of Fire and Graceling by Kristen Cashore. I read the trilogy in under a week.
Wendy wrote: READ Hunger Games!"Don't worry, Wendy. I finished reading Hunger Games last night :) I usually don't like racing to finish a book, but Hunger Games was just too 'unputdownable'! And yes, it lived up to the hype. The bookstore didn't have paperback copies of Catching Fire left, so it's on backorder now.
In the meantime, I continued reading

It wasn't as good as I thought it would be. There wasn't enough mermaid action for me.
everyone's raving about
and my roommate just finished the trilogy and she's dying for me to read them.. so I'll be starting that tomorrow probably :)

lol well apparently my roommate loved the first one and didn't really like the other two so she wants me to read them and validate her opinion hahaha.. I hope I can argue with her. I really want to like the whole series!

I signed up at netGalley the other day after seeing your post about it. I am currently reading

Thanks for posting about netGalley, I am super exciting about it! :-)
I just finished I Now Pronounce You Someone Else and really enjoyed it. I'm now reading The Summer of Skinny Dipping and it's alright. I hope it ends strong.

Arphaxad wrote: "Peep, how did you get on with Ender's Game? Did you finish it? (not getting my hopes up!) ;)"I'm still in the middle of it. I set it aside for a while. I will finish it though. I will. I will! I just need to put a little more effort into it.

Thanks! Yes, I absolutely love it, Thnaks again for the heads up :-). I just got permission to review
... so I am going to read it after I finish
. Which by the way is really good so far! :-D

Ahh, wish I had more time to get through
. Tis my current read, but work keeps getting in the way! Gah.
I'm reading Liar still. Halfway through theres a shift in the story (and because of the book you don't know if it's true or not). I'm not sure how I feel about it.And I'm listening to the second Bloody Jack--Curse of the Blue Tattoo. So far I don't know if I'm liking it as much as the first. Don't get me wrong I like it but Jacky seems to cry an inordinate amount and sometimes I just want to smack her as well as everyone else.
Heidi I wrote: "Cassi don't worry Jacky will grow back into your heart by the end!"I just want to know that I'm not the only one who had this problem. (And I was her to stop the blasted crying lol)
