A World Without Heroes by Brandon MullThis one comes out, I think in April, but so far it is rather interesting. I'm loving it. :)
The last two books I read & loved were:
...an inpirational & uplifting book
...a truly excellent thriller
I am going to be posting reviews of both soon.
I am also reading:
...very descriptive, interesting premise.
Cheers,

Reading a Girls Guide to Homelessness and loving it. Reminds me of Glass Castle. Not sure it's really a "teen" book (which is how it will be marketed). I can think of many adults who would enjoy this.
That one sounds interesting as well.
Book stores are far far away. I acquired this book a couple years ago and simply because of the size, I put off reading it. I don't like the taller wider books - just a thing I guess. I really hate that my book was published the same size. But I digress. I'll read another one if I find one. I don't order online because even mail is a serious pain for me.

(which is fabulous!!) and listening to Cecilia Ahern's new one,
- so fun, magical and just, different!
I'm reading "A Raisin in the Sun" by Lorainne Hansberry. It's truly a classic play and I hope I get to see it someday. I'll let you know when I get a review up on it.
I'm embarrased to ask but how does everyone put the little books in their comments? It looks great - Thanks!
There's a little gold link at the top of the comment box that says 'add book/author' click it and find the book you like to add and once the link is displayed, add your comments around it.
I'm currently reading
and
both for review! Just finished reading
The Cellar by AJ Whitten and I'll be posting what I think about it soon at my blog! :]

I am currently halfway through "Last Sacrifice" by Richelle Mead and I've started "Chicken Soup for the Soul:Teacher Tales" by Jack Canfield.

Thanks for explaining that Anna :)

I will be reading Cutting for Stone forver! But in between I will be reading The Tiger's Wife because I won it on GR and also Absolutely, Positively because it is fluff and will go quickly!
Desperate for reading material and too far from a store, I'm reduced to reading a collection of short stories on the Silver Surfer. pity me
You should check out the free ebooks for kindle online. You can download the app to your computer and they have a ton of great ebooks waiting for you the just grab and read! I've found some great books I would have otherwise missed!

Thanks but I can only spend so much time on the computer, especially in the morning, and at night, I really must do something else, like edit my own work - haha

I'm dying to go out and by the third...I've just been buying sooo many books lately...too many...what to do?!?
I know what you mean. I have over 800 on my bookshelves!!!! I try to sell or swap some but then I just buy more LOL
Anna wrote: "I wish I had a bookshelf. no room in my house"I didn't think I had any room for a bookshelf either until this past weekend, we were at a Christmas tree shop and for very cheap, we were able to buy a pretty white three tier bookshelf with beautiful, intricate cutouts on the sides to give it a little unique detailing...it's my first real bookshelf:) Lovin it!
Any bookshelf here, no matter how small, would have to be free standing and standing in the center of my house. The one free span of wall space I have (literally) is taken up by the shelves that hold my DVDs and tapes (shelves made to size and nailed down) books won't fit even if I put the movies somewhere else. Quite literally, there is no room for a bookshelf in my house, no free wall space. I barely have room for a picture of my son and his family.
Well I get all my shelving from craigslist. Also, I have a headboard that has shelves hidden inside!
I still need to get out there and find a decent sized bookshelf for my apartment until than all my books are stacked in my closet..anyways I finished
and am in the middle of
I have been known to keep my books in boxes that fit under my bed. It's like a library under my bed. lol! :DI'm slowly reading through
right now.
Right now, I'm reading

I have just finished
OMG it was soooo good, it is now 3:35am here and I'm still wide awake I could not put this book down.Alas I will be going to bed here soon but later on after I wake up I will be reading
The Perfect DeceitAn intriguing and fascinating book on how countries vie against each other to be top dog on the world stage. Spies, double agents, love triangles -- it’s all in a day’s work for super spy Alexey! In today’s interconnected world, this book gives an interesting perspective on how much competition goes on behind the scenes with ambitions and stakes running high. Hearts are broken and for some power is gained.
Illuminating book on the espionage sphere. Lots of mind games involved. Great book with high drama. Makes for a perfect summer read!
I just finished White Cat a few days ago, (really need to get around to writing that review!) and have started A Game of Thrones thanks to HBO's TV series of it that I really enjoyed!
I'm working my way through the Shifter series right now by Rachel Vincent. Currently reading
I just finished Richelle Meads' Dark Swan series.
