they don't really require you to write reviews.. if you don't make one, i think its OK... just make a request for the title that you want.. :)

woohooo... you are going to love iron queen!!!! and yes angel fire is awesome.. :)
Just finished reading
and it was great! Better than Leviathan. Now I'm finishing
, and after that I'm going to take a rest from YA novels, and read my backlog of epic fantasies. :D
Finished
. Has anyone else read it? Not sure what I think about how the story changed halfway through. Mainly because it turned out not to be the book I thought I was reading. Going to think for awhile before reviewing it.
Okay I'm starting
Also I'm going to buy my mom a book because today's her birthday on the way home from work. She doesn't read what I read--no fantasy at all. Magic is a no go. If anyone has a suggestion that's light and easy for a 50 yr old woman let me know.
To be truthful I thought it was brilliant, but I didn't think that at first. I thought the first 3/4 of the book was stupid. I wasn't getting the story and I almost put it down a few times. Finally at about page 300 things clicked for me and I loved the book. I have a small crush on Ed Kennedy and the ending was perfect.

I read 1/2 of the book, then went and got it on audio cause someone recommended it to me, it might have even been you Heidi, anyways it was good on audio! Then I went back and finished the paper book.
I'm just starting Blood Promise. I was going to start Finnikin of the Rock but Rose and Dimitri were calling out to me. It's doubtful that I'll get to Finnikin by the end of the month but I'm hoping to read it next.
Shannen, I think you will really like Finnikin. I can't believe you chose Rose and Dimitri over him.
I love Rose and Dimitri. You shouldn't have quit reading that series after the first book.

I skipped the series all together!
Peep wrote: "Now I have to finish it. I gave up the first time around. I'm thinking I'll try and get the audio."Yes! The audio rocks!
hm. I picked up the first Vampire Academy from Half Price Books last week and I was excited to read it. Now you guys are giving mixed opinions! aaahhh
Traci remember that's Heidi and I talking. Our ratings standards could be considered slightly higher than average. Only slightly.
Traci - I just looked at your books and ratings and I'm positve that you'll like Vampire Academy. Ignore Heidi. She's a book snob. (Peep's just weird.) LOL!
Hey! I'm new to this site and to this group. I'm currently reading 13 Little Blue Envelopes by Maureen Johnson. I like it so far. Now, I want to go to Europe!

@Mia: Hi!
hahahah well I'm definitely going to give it a shot. My roommate is making me read The Chaos Walking series right now and they're pretty giant books so I won't get around to my stack for a while. Which makes me very sad because I just got 8 books last week :( School and work get in the way.
Awww, Peep. You should know by now that I like weird.
Hi, Mia!
Hi, Mia!
I just brought an armload back from the library to read, I'm not sure what I should get to next....I ended up getting the first 4 books of The Morganville Vampires, I haven't read them yet. Otherwise I got a copy of Night Star, the ever controversial 5th installment of Alyson Noels the immortals series. I did enjoy Evermore, but ther rest have gotten bad but I still will drag my heels and read it. Oh, I got Paper Towns too which I am excited to read. Where to start??

Im reading
then
I wasn't sure, I was afraid it would be cheesy (based off the covers). But the more review's I read and the more people talked about it, the more eager I was to start it.

Shannen hurt my feelings too Peep *weep *weep*. Having said that, Traci knowing your tastes somewhat from these threads, I am guessing the Vampire Academy books are probably your thing.

You'll get over it. :P Gotta have a thick skin when you're a picky book person. Also gotta have a thick skin around here when you like Twilight. ;)

Well I guess cheesy is the wrong word. I love Stephanie Plum, lol. I guess I meant more like... a regular run of the mill cheesy romance like...
. Which I actually read, lol. I loved this dumb romance when I was a teenager. I loved this one too,
. I had a thing for Native American romances, lol.
Oh, don't worry, I knew what you meant by cheesy Wendy and it is perhaps the cheesiest series I have ever read!
Wendy wrote: "Oh lord! hahahaha... I'm sure I'll love it even if i have to keep it face down on my desk at work."Hold that head up high Wendy, just make sure to hide the book!
I just finished
and really like it after getting by the first couple of chapters. I'm going to start on
next. Hopefully it gets delivered by the weekend or I'll probably start
to hold me over until it IS delivered. :)
I have almost finished Hush Hush. It's a great read and am intrigued by Patch! Do you ever want to finish a book to find out what happens, but hate it when it's over? I'm still waiting for my next book (Stolen)to arrive so I can get straight into it, I hate not having anything to read!

I am reading "Before I Fall," by Lauren Oliver.So far I am enjoying it. It seems to be a young adult version of "Groundhog Day!"

They are definately cheesey, but I agree, in a good way. While I was reading the first book I kept thinking WTF??, it just throws you into the story. By the third book I read the rest of the series back to back. *Sigh* I have a small crush on John Matthews.
