So happy that Lesley is back full-time now! Peter is also growing nicely as a character and the storyline is getting richer as well. Now deciding between

read
pretty fantastic book though gosh the ending was so annoying!! I cant believe they ended it there!! I need to know what happens next!!also read
which I actually really enjoyed, for some weird reason I find books like these rather interesting (weird cause I usually dislike historical fiction) the ending was a little anticlimactic though :(now to do an EPIC buddy read with a bestie -
its going to be AMAZING!!!!while im waiting to start I might give
a go :)
I've been reading
for the last week and I love it. I really didn't think I would like it, but it's surprisingly good, IMO.

I used to love those books! I keep trying to get my daughter to read
, but so far no luck.
I'm reading Night Huntress #2
, and I love Cat and Bones. Unfortunately, the same plot hole persists in the second book as the first, and it makes me crazy!

Right now I'm reading
, an alternate history/steampunk mixture. Really enjoyable and interesting so far.

These stories always follow a similar arc so far for all of the books that I have read I think im on book four now and it seems to be going along the same plot just a different bad guy.

Repetition is my pet peeve. I'll have to see what happens in Valley of the Horses then. I'm only about 11% in. Thanks for the heads up :)
I just finished
. I didn't love it, but I also didn't hate it. Mostly, I think I'm relieved I'm done with the series.Next up is the very long- titled Jewish Pirates of the Caribbean: How a Generation of Swashbuckling Jews Carved Out an Empire in the New World in Their Quest for Treasure, Religious Freedom--and Revenge.
I read a whole bunch of war books, dystopias, books with characters who are abused/ mentally ill, dealing with PTSD in a row and I'm seeking out books that are lighter.

I just finished the delightful and brand new Not Your Ordinary Wolf Girl. Am about to start Two Boys Kissing.
Finished
Bloodfire, Cursed and Cold Blooded were so awesome. Republic of Thieves and A Study in Silks were good too, but not as great as I was expecting them to be.
I'm currently reading
, which is good so far.

I thought this book was pretty fantastic.
LOVE LOVE LOVED this book!!also finished my buddy read with Joan on
which was awesome.also read
which was pretty interesting, though I felt the emotion between to two main characters at the start was odd and stiff but that changed pretty quicklynow reading the second book

I am currently reading Human Remains by Elizabeth Haynes and the Book Thief by Markus Zusak. As of right now they are both pretty depressing but they both come highly recommended so we will see.
I just finished Seven Years, a new urban fantasy series by Dannika Dark, and it was a great, fun read. I can't wait till the second book comes out!

I am reading the most recent Mercedes Thompson book Frost Burned by Patricia Briggs and loving every page!
Just finished reading Throne of The Crescent Moon by Saladin Ahmed. I enjoyed it. It was a different than contemporary fiction. I consider it urban fiction because it takes place in a city, even if it is 13th Century middle eastern city.
I was going to do a Night Huntress series re-read, but decided to go through my tbr pile. I picked The Scent of Shadows
. A friend of mine is 100% sure I am going to DNF it. We'll see.

I finished
and it was a three star read for me - entertaining and I liked it but not something I would necessarily ever re-read. Starting
now.

Lately I've read a couple of very, very, very good books.Two Boys Kissing by David Levithan
is about two boys kissing to get into the Book of Lists, but it's about a bunch of other things and people, too.The Coldest Girl in Coldtown by Holly Black
is an unusual YA vampire novel, in that it's about the stetting, very much.I'm currently reading a novel or novella in rhymed verse called Love, Dishonor, Marry, Die, Cherish, Perish by David Rakoff
.
Unfortunately, I did end up DNFing The Scent of Shadows
at the 37% mark. I thought it was boring and the heroine took things in stride a little too easily.
