What's Readin', Yo!
Finished Tris and Izzie (didn't like it at all) and am now moving on to How to Save a Life by Sara Zarr. So far, so good. =)

I had such high hopes for this book and I'm amazingly disappointed!

I haven't read that one...but I absolutely loved Dracula. I'm addicted to old-fashioned, Gothic horror.

Did not expect the word disappointed after "amazingly" lol! Why didn't you like it? Should I be warned?

I recently finished

. I was going to start
but I was warned it wasn't any good. So I think I'm going to read
. Later this month I will be reading
, I can't wait.
Anagha, go read my review. I've broken down everything wrong with Crossroads. One of the top 2 worst books I've read this year.Alexandra, I wasn't a big fan of Dracula! It was sooo hard for me to get through the classic writing. Some people love it...but I'd find my mind wandering elsewhere. LOL
Terri, I heard the same thing about Silence, though I haven't read any in the series. Did you read the first 2, and did you like those?
I've moved on to
which I'm happy to say I'm liking alot!

Ha ha. Classics aren't for everyone, but I really love to read them. I had to kind of absorb Dracula, though. It's one of my favorites, but it took me nearly four months to finish it because I had to put it down and then pick it up constantly.

How are you liking The Iron Knight? I read the rest of the series, but was a little disappointed by the last book.

Did you receive those from netGalley? I'm thinking of reading Virtuosity soon just because the author has the same name as one of my best friends ;) And Iron Knight is...somewhere on my TBR

Anagha wrote: "Yay! Did you like it?"Of course I did, I just think the tv show spoiled all teh mystery, twists and socking things for me. But I'll read the next one without knowing what it's going to happen.
Iron king is a little hard for me to get into, storm born is Hot but the main girl is a lovable pain haha. Vampire Academy was a surprise to me, didnt think i would like it as much as i did :D

I've only read the first out of the three. I really liked The Iron King once I got into it, but I was a bit disappointed with the rest of the series, especially the last book...

They aren't bad by any means, but the last half of the third I thought was too wordy (in a battle, really?). But I would recommend reading them if you like Faery books.

Very interesting book. Probably not something I would have picked up by myself, but I definitely liked it, and it was very original. I'm glad that I read it. :)

Has anyone here ever read anything by Christopher Pike? I'm in a horro book mood lately and some of his books seem interesting.

I haven't read anything by him, but I've seen his books...give it a try, I guess. Or you could try the first in my series, Shadows of Past Memories, which is (light) sci-fi/horror. Just saying... :)

I didn't know it fell under the horror category. I'll definetely read it. I just have to get my hands on it first. :)
I've been without internet for most of this month (only been able to snatch a few hours of it once or twice from our truck terminals driver lounge) so I've basically been plowing my way through a LOT of books. So far in October I have read;
And the month is only halfway over. I haven't read this much since I was a teen. But I'm very glad to be working my way through my collection of books.

Wow! Maybe I should cut my internet off, who am I kidding I can't live without it. But I remember before my summer vacation my old computer broke down and I had to spend 2 days without itnernet, so I managed to finish a whole book and start another one.
Last year my laptop broke so I had 2 months with no internet at home - was the best time for reading ever... may hafta consider limiting myself to 5 mins a day online just to get through all my books ;D
hehe...to get through all my books, the ones that I already own and the ones I'm buying, with the rate I'm buying them, I think the internet owes me time.This is science as you can see... lol :P

Awesome. :) I think you'll like it. The first book is a bit lighter in the horror department, but through the rest of the series, it will definitely pick up. Hope you enjoy!
@Elisandra: Loved The Vampire Stalker! :) Hope you like it.

I'm reading a couple of non fiction books about Baroque and Gothic art and architecture. I've also started a book about Ancient Egyptian temples. I'm also currently reading some of the excellent Shannara books by Terry Brooks; I'm on The Wishsong of Shannara, but I haven't started it yet.I recently read a book called 'Nightwalker' by my friend Lisa Kessler. Good little vampire romance novel; easy to read and a good length; I read it one night when I should have been sleeping lol.
I got an ereader recently as a gift, it came with a few 'sample' books that you can read the first couple of chapters. Shit My Dad Says is one of them, I want to read that now, the beginning is hilarious.
