I just read that.
Reading
and I love it so far. It's YA without feeling YA - no love triangles or sparkly boyfriends or inappropriate angst anywhere in sight! Plus, it's set on a submarine, which feels fresh and not overdone yet.
I feel obliged to report that the vampires in A Discovery of Witches do not have fangs. Furthermore, they walk about during daylight with impunity. At least they are not sparkly.

changed my books again. Now reading.
so far loving them I was getting in a bit of a reading rut still havent finished
and im in the last few pages.
I just finished reading
and
. Enjoyed the 2nd more than the 1st as the characters and plot were fleshed out more.I'm currently reading
with mixed feeling on the short stories, I'm only liking a couple which is unusual for me with anthologies. I'm also reading
which is okay for a book on writing. I have from the library to read
,
, and
.
Finally started reading through the Dresden files. Nearly finished
in one day. Finally seeing what all the hype has been about. I'm hooked!

This one ended up being dnf for me. It was a maybe book for me, I thought the premise sounded interesting, but for some reason I was turned off as I was reading and didn't get very far.
Just finished I Kill Giants Titan Edition, and it was FANTASTIC. Definitely worth a read if you're at all into graphic novels.
I'm reading the 1st 5 Elemental Assassin books by Jennifer Estep. I really enjoyed the 1st 2. The third was ok. I've just started book 4. I got distracted from my planned reading by seeing her books were on sale.
Ashley Marie wrote: "Just finished I Kill Giants Titan Edition, and it was FANTASTIC. Definitely worth a read if you're at all into graphic novels."I just finished Confessions of a D-List Supervillain. It's not a graphic novel, but rather that type of story in book form. If you like graphic novel/superhero books, I think you'd like this (but I don't really read much by way of graphic novels so I am guessing.) It's a good story, I thought. It's outside my normal genre.
Maria wrote: "I just finished Confessions of a D-List Supervillain. It's not a graphic novel, but rather that type of story in book form."That actually sounds like an interesting read. But I've always thought supervillains were just more fun than heroes :)

It was pretty good. I really enjoyed the sarcasm and the rebelling against the corporation he worked for (there were some good geek lines in there too.)

That looks great! Adding it to my TBR pile - thanks!

Almost finished book 6 of the Dresden files. Think I need to take a break, but loving the world he's created (even if I can't help but picture Harry as Nicolas Cage from "The Sorcerer's Apprentice")
The ending of Onyx made absolutly no sense. Although I want to read Opal I think I will wait until I finish up on her other YA series. Romance is not my thing the other books didnt jump right out with a Romance followed by a Love Triangle. so Pure is next for me from this author. Ive read 8 books this month but none of them were my planned reads so Im not sure what to get into next. So many new books are coming out as well and series I need to get on for my blog.
What do you all recomend?
sorry if there is a thread for this already Im just letting my fingers move with what ever my brain tells them to.
