The first two books were okay but I don't think I'll be reading the other two. Maybe if I had read this when I actually was a YA I would have a better attitude! LOL

Ami E. Bowen (skayda) | 26 comments I just started the first book in Richelle Mead 's Vampire Academy (Vampire Academy, #1) by Richelle Mead series. I'm about forty percent through the book and it's way different that other vampire novels I've read. I like the creative way the author treats that particular myth. I'm really enjoying it so far.

Paula: I am only about a third of the way through this book, but find the writing style just carries me away to the place and time. It flows so smoothly between Mary's past and present that there is almost no break in the reader's mind. I love that.

Li, how are you liking the Keats? Mostly I hate poetry, but there's something about Keats and Walt Whitman that I enjoy.

I just started Dark Lover: The Life and Death of Rudolph Valentino- so far, so good. It was a Goodreads recommendation. I am loving that new feature on the site!

I was thinking to quit reading (what's happening really seldom - only couple times and one of that was with Catch-22) But anyway, I made it to the second part and just before that I started comprehend this book (it didn't work with catch 22, but I couldn't even got to 1/3 of Catch)


message 25734: by Jennifer (new)

Jennifer (jhaltenburger) Started and finished a play by John Galsworthy today -- Loyalties :: a drama in three acts / which is about a successful Jewish British businessman who accuses an acquaintance-- not Jewish, not successful, but upper class and a member of the same clubs-- of theft. Of course, since dueling is passee, it must be resolved in a defamation court case. The title stems from a theme found in the other characters-- other members of the clubs the pro- and antagonists belong to, who have reason to believe the accused is guilty but are reluctant to take the side of the Jew against one of their own.
