hey jessica, the only one of yours i've read is wither, it's good! i also have entwined in my tbr list, but haven't started it yet.
This looks like such fun! Unfortunately, I haven't read any of Catie's 5, but I'll be checking back tomorrow afternoon.....
I finished up A Northern Light which Catie picked for me. I thought it was good, but I didn't like it as much as Revolution by the same author. I thought the murder would take a more central place in the story, but it really didn't. The story shifts between two different times, but they are only a month or so apart, and eventually the story gets to a place where the backstory meets up with the present day.Also I'm going to pick Graceling for Lisa, because I think her list got lost in the shuffle. Lisa, I really love Graceling, it's one of my favorites, so I hope you enjoy it.
The next poster should pick for Catie still. I'm not going to post a new five, because I'm going out of town tomorrow and won't have my computer with me.
OK then - I'll go ahead and pick......
It looks really cute - and since I was pretty much a nerd in HS......
For my 5 here are some I've really been wanting to get to soon, but never seem to actually pick them up.
I pick
for you Cindy. I loved it. :)My next 5 to choose from are:
Thanks Kayla! I've got the whole series.....just waiting for a push in the right direction!OOOOOhhhhh - I wanna read XVI.......guess I need to find a copy of that one soon!
Oooh, one I can actually do!Hmmmm... It's a toss up... do I say Darkfever which the series is great but the first book was just okay or do I say Finnikin which is a Marchetta and you can't go wrong....
i think I'm going to say Darkfever...
My five...

my 5 are:
Lisa- that was a good pick for Jessica, thanks for catching she got skipped over. I LOVE that book, it's what i would have picked as well!
This gives me a good reason to get it started!Okay, so I'm reading
right now. Then I'm reading
, because I've been waiting for it. After that I'll start Vamp Academy. I've heard good things.

Ok thanks. It seems really good I am a few chapters in. I want to read the replacement too.
Rebecca, Read Poison Study - it's a treat.
My 5 are:
I think Jan meant for Lisa to read Poison Study, and she's right, it's really good.
Becca wrote: "I think Jan meant for Lisa to read Poison Study, and she's right, it's really good."Agreed.
I have heard alot about Poison Study - so I am anxious to read it!
Lisa wrote: "I have heard alot about Poison Study - so I am anxious to read it!"Poison Study was great!

[bookcover:Pe..."I got started on this one today. Probably be up half the night..... I was sorta in a book funk. Not really that into the one I was in the middle of, but it was an author I really like, so I wanted to finish it. I'll be looking for someone to pick for tomorrow night......
Someone needs to pick for Jan! I haven't read any of them yet. I wish I could help. I have read the Uglies series by Westerfeld though and enjoyed it if that helps. :)
I haven't read any of them either.....and I'm ready to post my next 5.Headed out to the grocery store. If no one else has picked by tonight, I may just bite the bullet and do it myself! I say go for it Awesomevegan. I love this thread. I always read more when I "need" to read it.
I'll pick for Jan. Although I really like Leviathan and think you should definitely read it at some point, I loved
more, so I pick that one. Gen is one of my favorite characters. Enjoy!My 5 choices for after I finish the big one I'm on now:
I am not picking but I think you will like the Nightingale Floor Becca.
The only one I have read of those is Jane Eyre. It took a long while for me to get through because I am not used to classics but if you like classics it is worth the read since it is also inspiration for lots of modern authors. (Like Stephenie Meyer) Also the movie is out or coming out so I will choose that for you. :)
My 5 are:
(I will start the chosen book after I finish my current read
which is under 300 pages and so good so far it will probably be done tomorrow. :-P[

I hope you enjoy it, my next five are:

I had a feeling that one was going to get picked right away. :) I will enjoy it, I am sure. So many people are raving about it! Good luck with your 5.

I just want to share that Where She Went is really good. Better than If I Stay, I think. I hope you read it when you have time. Have fun! ^_^
I thought Where She Went was better too. Angsty, but good.
Thanks. I will read it soon. I promise. :)
Finished If I Stay. Starting Knife. :)
Awesomevegan (AKA JenReads) wrote: "Finished If I Stay. Starting Knife. :)"That's great! I am excited to hear what you think about "Knife"!
Katy - I will pick for you! YAY!!!I pick
I really liked this one and Intertwined both!I'm currently reading
and hope to have a review posted in the next couple of days. After that my next 5 are:
Cindy, I pick
, I thought it was a very unique story.My next 5 after I finish
are:
Umm... I'm pretty sure this is my cue... except I feel like that would be predictable. I'll let someone else pick and give up this chance to make someone read Outlander.
Wendy F wrote: "Umm... I'm pretty sure this is my cue... except I feel like that would be predictable. I'll let someone else pick and give up this chance to make someone read Outlander."you think? hehe. by the way wendy I just bought it. so if it's crap i'm blaming you.

Hahaha, well it's definitely not 'crap'. I have met a few people who thought that it was too descriptive for their tastes. There are a few scenes that are shocking, but it's definitely well written and not crap.
I finished Airborne today. It's the book I won here. Constance is a member here and seems to be a super nice lady. Really enjoyed the book, and I did write a review. If you read it, ya'll will understand why I read, not write! LOLSomebody still needs to pick for Kayla. I love this thread! It's so much fun seeing what is upcoming for everyone.
Kayla I haven't read any of yours but I really want to read XVI too! (Not picking for you, just sayin :) )
She'a actually reading XVI right now.Of Kayla's 5, I've read Outlander, White Cat, and Leviathan.
I'm leaning toward White Cat because I know Outlander is a love or hate book (I loved it).

Give Me 5 has not been kind to me, as my last post got skipped too. :) I finished Demonglass, and had to start reading something so I went back and changed out the book I started reading.
Also following rules is hard, since now I want to pick for Lisa.
