We should have a thread dedicated to the series...

[Emily]

I just finished The Hunger Games, I don't know...maybe it was too hyped up by the time I read it, but I didn't really like it. It reminded me too much of Lord of the Flies. I'm currently reading What Should I Do with My Life?: The True Story of People Who Answered the Ultimate Question, while interesting, I don't think it will help me answer that question for myself.

[Rayna]

Laarni/Kelly/Kimberly: I'm reading A Clash of Kings as well. I've had to take a bit of a break to focus on library books that are quickly approaching the overdue point, but I hope to get back to it soon so I can find out what happens!

[Tami]

I finally finished Glass by Sam Savage and have started Who Do, Voodoo? by Rochelle Staab. The first really bothered me. I like structure, you know paragraphs, chapters, plot, meaning, etc. Nothing like what I like to read. The second, while a bit fluffy, actually seems to be a story and so far has been enjoyable.

[Kelly A.]

Kimberly - we definitely should! Daisy and I are trying to discuss the book on Twitter as we read through it, but the character limit is pretty restricting. My feelings cannot be contained in 140 characters! haha

[Tami]

I finished Who Do, Voodoo? by Rochelle Staab and started Ruth by Marlene Lewis.

[Kayla]

I finished Darkness Becomes Her over the weekend. I'm currently reading The Bone People by Keri Hulme for a class (it's really good so far) and Call Me When You Land by Michael Schiavone, one of my first-reads wins (I have four others I haven't gotten to yet; I'm really falling behind on them but I hope to have them all read by the end of the year).

haha, I can imagine!

Ok, here it is!

A Game of Thrones

[Lauren]

Finished The Best of Me loved it, now reading One for the Money

[Sashana]

I enjoyed The Best of Me too, Lauren. Even though Nicholas Sparks continues to disappoint me with his endings.

[Tami]

I finished Ruth by Marlene Lewis and started Little Vampire Women by Lynn Messina. Ruth was good, not spectacular, but good. So far Little Vampire Women has been a disappointment. Haven't gotten very far in yet, so hopefully that will turn around.

I was soo mad at the end of this book, loved it, but UGH I AGREE!!

[Annie]

Just finished Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children which was really a fun, quick read! And just started Cutting for Stone which has been sitting on my Kindle for a while now. Seems like a good read and I'm pretty sure Oprah gave it the go-ahead and as much as I hate to admit it, she picks some good stuff!

[Tami]

Finished Little Vampire Women and started The Twoweeks

[Kimberly]

I finished A Game of Thrones and started reading The Alloy of Law.

[Caleigh Rose]

I've just finished Shanghai Girls by Lisa See and now I'm re-reading The Book Thief by Markus Zusack.

[Kayla]

I'm finishing up The Bone People, and I'm also reading an ARC of Tempest by Julie Cross and am rereading The Summoning by Kelley Armstrong.

[Veronica]

I just finished Brandon Sanderson's The Hero of Ages, and am currently reading Haruki Murakami's 1Q84. I just ordered N.K. Jemisin's The Kingdom of Gods and Jacqueline Carely's Saints Astray.

1Q84 is my serious, thought-provoking reading; the others are my I-don't-want-to-grade-papers light reading.

Ohh, The Book Thief is soo good. I was surprised by how much I liked it and by how much it affected me. I hope you enjoy it too.

[Daisy]

Veronica: the Kingdom of Gods was SOOO good! I love the whole series :) Hope you enjoy!

I've been very excited to finish the series. I can't wait to see what she does next. If you dig these books, you might like Jacqueline Carey's Kusheline Legacy series.

I tried the first one in that series, but somehow I couldn't get through it for some reason... Maybe I'll give it another try sometime :)

[Rayna]

I'm mainly reading Her Fearful Symmetry and Bill Warrington's Last Chance: A Novel and trying to fit in Super Sad True Love Story and A Clash of Kings so that I can move on in the series.

[Ashley]

I am currently reading 3 books:

[Kimberly]

Has anyone read 1Q84? It sounds interesting... I've never read any of Haruki Murakami, not really even heard the name. Apparently I've been living under a rock since he is referred to as "our most revered contemporary writers".

Murakami is one of my favorite authors. I haven't read 1Q84 yet, but I highly recommend The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle. That was my first book by him and it's one of my top five favorites of all-time.

[Rayna]

1Q84 is on my list, but I already have a few Murakami books on hold at the library.

[Kimberly]

I am currently reading 206 Bones

[Kimberly]

I just picked up Jacob T. Marley and plan on starting it tonight. I absolutely love A Christmas Carol, so I'm excited to read this.

[Tami]

I finished Other Waters and have just started Rust. Have so many books I have just bought but want to finish up my giveaways wins first.

[Tami]

I just finished Rust and started Heart-Shaped Box.

[Ben]

Just finished Born to Run: A Hidden Tribe, Superathletes, and the Greatest Race the World Has Never Seen and i just started Worm: The First Digital World War

[Dina]

I just finished Catch-22 and am currently reading the Golden Spruce.
What did you think of Born to Run? I have been wanting to read that since the summer but just have not gotten a chance.

[Kelly A.]

In the past week and a half, I've read these books: Beautiful Days, Water for Elephants, Clockwork Angel, The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake, Jane, Nightshade, Just Jane, The Lightning Thief, Evermore, Splendor, and The Gargoyle. I was on a cruise for seven days with lots of reading time but wow...this is a personal best!

[Lauren]

Currently reading Audition and I Am Half-Sick of Shadows

[Ashley]

I'm currently reading Extravagance: A Novel I'm not sure if I'll finish it though. I'm over halfway through and I can't get into it. I also just started Russian Winter

[Rayna]

Wow, Kelly, that's impressive. Maybe I should follow your example. While everyone is out on their holiday vacations, maybe I should take a week off of work and just read :)

[Tami]

Kelly A, that is awesome. Did you like The Gargoyle?

Over the extended weekend, I finished Heart-Shaped Box, started and finished Another Piece of My Heart and started Carry the One.

[Nicki]

I just finished Divergent.

I've got too many choices of what to read next:
Crossed
The Boy in the Striped Pajamas
The Missing Girl and
The Psychology of Twilight

I really liked it! It's set in the present, but has little side stories about people in different periods of time/cultures. It was interesting!

[Tami]

Nicki, I recommend The Boy in the Striped Pajamas.

Kelly A, I loved it! It was a bit bleh at the very beginning, but got soooooooo much better when Marianne came into the story.

[Rayna]

Nicki, I second Tami's recommendation of The Boy in the Striped Pajamas.

[Kimberly]

I'm reading Touch of Power and Twenty Boy Summer.

[Kayla]

I am reading The Sleepwalkers, it is pretty interesting.

[Lori]

I started Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close last night and am really liking it. I hope I actually finish (I'm so bad about abandoning books). I've got a pretty good sized pile of half-finished books I plan on finishing during a day after New Years readathon.

I also need to plan on a readathon sometime in the next week. I've really been slacking since I've been on break. I have at least five books I want to finish before I have to go back to school next weekend.

[Lori]

I'm co-hosting a readathon that runs through tomorrow and Monday. Informal. We're tweeting about our progress and I'll probably write on long progress report at the end of the day for my blog.

[Ashley]

Leila: Jane Eyre is coming up on my list. I love that book.

I've just started reading Emma after finishing a bunch of Christmas themed books. I'm excited, one of the few Jane Austen novels I haven't read yet.

I finished reading Joy in the Morning, which I started over the summer and finally finished. I'm almost done with How to Be Lovely: The Audrey Hepburn Way of Life. Then I don't know what I'll read. Perhaps finish Washington Square.
