I loved those series. Riordan does an excellent job of integrating myth into the modern and making characters you can really get on board with.

Those books are addicting. They look really intimidating, but the pages fly by. I only made it three books into the series, but they were hard to put down.

I'm currently reading and . Haunted is extremely graphic but I like the story line so far. the characters stories are all interesting and i find myself wanting to know their back stories more than what happens at the theater. I'm still on chapter 2 in the catcher adn the rye... its not as interesting as i htought it would be and slightly disappointing. I'll pick it up eventually though haha

I completely agree. I loved The Talisman, but I wasn't a huge fan of Black House. It felt like two different writing styles, and a part of me felt like the main character was too different from his former self in the Talisman. Not sure if you've read them, but both books relate to the Dark Tower series, and if you are familiar with them, the references to that particular story are countless in both novels.

I'm currently reading the first book in the Vampire Academy series!

[Tahleen]

Right now I'm reading The Madness Underneath by Maureen Johnson, listening to Monstrous Beauty by Elizabeth Fama in my car, and listening to Dad Is Fat by Jim Gaffigan on my runs. I also just started Finnikin of the Rock by Melina Marchetta on my nook.

[Hayley]

Recently finished Mindy Kaling's book and now onto The Spectacular Now by Tim Tharp (always have to read the book before seeing the movie).

[Lauren]

I'm reading Outpost by Anne Aguirre, World War Z by Max Brooks, and American Gods by Neil Gaiman. Just finished The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey and I loved it!

Wasn't the 5th wave so good??

[Lianne]

I started reading Alexandre Dumas' The Count of Monte Cristo the other day. I'm really enjoying it so far! :)

[Jen]

I recently finished reading The Rules for Disappearing and by the end of the day I'm going to start reading the sixth Harry Potter book! This is the first time I'm reading the Harry Potter series, I'm almost done!

[Tami]

Jen, I ENVY YOU! I wish I could read the Harry Potter books again for the first time! I hope you are enjoying them.

[via.]

Currently reading Love in the Time of Cholera by Gabriel Garcia Marquez and Prep School Confidential by Kara Taylor! Just Finished an ARC The Sixth Power by Carol Nicolas but I didn't like it much.

[Jen]

Tami, so far I am enjoying them! The ending of the fifth book was more intense than I thought it would be!

Yay! What do you think? I'm really enjoying this series, I've read the first 3 books and they're KILLING ME!

I loved Fininikin of the Rock! I really need to continue this series! What do you think?

They keep getting more intense. I cried during book 7, and I don't cry during books. But they are wonderful books.

[Tahleen]

Daisy, I haven't gotten too far into it yet, but I'll let you know once I do!

[She's Stacked (Jo-Anne)]

I am finally reading Ready Player One by Ernest Cline and it is making my geeky nerdy heart very happy. I have given up (for now) on Teacher by Mark Edmundson. Soon, I will be starting the books for my Lit class in the fall.

[Lianne]

I finished reading Travis Holland's The Archivist's Story yesterday. I thought it was really interesting (not to mention I studied that period in history so is appealed to my academic interests, lol)

Meanwhile, I'm about 200 pages away from completing Alexandre Dumas' The Count of Monte Cristo (whoo-hoo!). I've also started reading Robin Harris' Not for Turning: The Life of Margaret Thatcher and Alison MacLeod's Unexploded (hoping to finish reading the latter before the Man Booker shortlist is announced!)

[She's Stacked (Jo-Anne)]

I am reading Kicking the Sky by Antony De Sa. It is set in my city and features a pivotal moment in its history.

[Samantha]

I'm currently finishing up The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brien and I've been going through Shakespeare's sonnets for the past week or so. I'm going to try and get going on another book but I haven't decided on one just yet.

[Merc]

I am still reading Little Women. It is not that long of a book but it has taken me ages just to reach the half-way mark. When I started the book, the Kindle said it would take around 11 hours to finish. Eleven seemed like too much for a book in the 400 page range.

At my current position, it still says 7 hours. I sure part of the reason it is so long is because I am very stop and go since I read at work but this is journey through Jo, Beth, Meg, and Amy's world is taking a pretty minute to finish.

[Laarni]

The Ocean at the End of the Lane! Yay!

[Ashley]

I recently finished reading "insurgent" by Veronica Roth. I am now reading "Clockwork Prince " by Cassandra Clare.

[Nitzan]

I just finished (which I think is my favorite so far in the series!)
And started reading which is really really good!

[Jessika]

I finished The Prince and the Pauper by Mark Twain, I'm about to finish The Penderwicks on Gardam Street by Jeanne Birdsall, and I'm about to start The Memory Keeper's Daughter by Kim Edwards.

[Annie]

Just finished The Weight of Water which was an accidental read that I desperately wanted to hate but secretly really liked. I'm now reading East of Eden and The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie.

[Lianne]

I am currently reading Jordi Punti's Lost Luggage: A Novel (quirky read, very intriguing), Peter Ackroyd's Tudors (just started the other day so I haven't read much so far) and Diana Wynne Jones' Howl's Moving Castle (loving this book so far! I can't believe I never read it growing up xD)

[Samantha]

I happened upon an Alison Weir book, Henry VIII, in the library a few days ago and I'm really enjoying it so far.

[Joel]

Just got done reading The Bone Season by Samantha Shannon. It was supposed to be "the next Harry Potter." Instead, it was the worst book I've ever had the misfortune of reading.

[Merc]

I am currently reading The Enterprise of Deathfor some reason. It isn't a bad book but I may start to read something else on the side so I can actually tolerate reading through it.

[Asiacan]

I just finished Orange is the New Black: My Year in a Women's Prison and Sharp Objects. Now I've started Into Thin Air: A Personal Account of the Mt. Everest Disaster, so far, so good.

[Amber]

Roxana by Daniel Defoe, because I have an 18th century lit problem.

[Ashley]

recently finished reading "Clockwork Princess" by Cassandra Clare. now reading "The Indigo Spell" by Richelle Mead

[Heather B]

Haven't had much of a chance to read since the term started, but now that I'm finished for Christmas break I'm going to finish reading Afterlife by Claudia Gray. Then hopefully get a couple more books in before the winter term begins!

[Samantha]

I just read Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl.
I'm currently reading The Storyteller by Jodi Picoult.

:)

[Tricia]

Just finished The Constant Princess and currently reading The Oresteia and Moonwalking with Einstein.

[Tricia]

Almost finished Epigenetics Revolution and then have to read The Aenid for school and going to read The Book Thief which came in from the library at the most inconvenient time possible, ah well my weekend is filled.

[Merc]

Did you like moonwalking with Einstein?

[Tricia]

It kind of fell to the common flaw of it's genre great first couple of chapters, fantastic last chapter, but feels far too fluff-filled in the middle.

[Merc]

Yeah, when I read it seemed a bit... padded, too.

[Niel]

[Rebecca]

I just finished Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy and I'm not start the second book in the Games of Thrones book and still readying The Eye of the World.

[Swissysmile]

I just started the Percy Jackson series. I'm on the second book. Not sure how I feel about it...the idea is interesting, and the setting is fascinating, love the entire idea. But the characters seem a little slow to get things, and as a result they keep getting themselves in bad situations that could have easily been avoided.

Hey Rebecca, how do you like Game of Thrones? I've gone back and forth between whether or not I'd want to read it. Is it worth the read?

[Dan]

Castle of Otranto. Shows it's age really. Probably the female Quixote next.

[Jen]

I recently started Where the Stars Still Shine by Trish Doller

[Tricia]

Just finished Double a Dealer by Max Alan Collins and I think I'm going to start A Song of Ice and Fire sometime this afternoon.
