Oh no, your not loving it."


Yeah, nothing about it is calm and pleasant. Its all desperate anxiety. Its kinda unsettling. Plus I am so used to paranormal that I miss it. I guess I am not a fan of realistic. I still plan to try some Simone Elkeles, Sarah Dessen, Stephanie Perkins type books before deciding.

Well I finished Last Sacrifice (Vampire Academy, #6) by Richelle Mead and loved it because Rose and Dimitri rediscovered each other but unfortunately at the expense of poor Adriana...she led him only to use him I thought that was very wrong and cruel of Rose but she was always meant to be with Dimitri who I fell in love with more :) Now I can finally read Clockwork Prince (The Infernal Devices, #2) by Cassandra Clare Yay I'm so excited :)

Theresa Reading Death Speaks (Death #2) by Tamara Rose Blodgett


message 1162: by Laurel (new)

Laurel Mojica | 3 comments I just finished The Dark Lord of Derkholm (Derkholm, #1) by Diana Wynne Jones . Curious to read its sequel. None of her follow-ups to Howl's Moving Castle quite lived up to the original, but a few of the Chrestmanci stories were as good as Charmed Life (Chrestomanci, #1) by Diana Wynne Jones . Overall, her books are some of my favorite light fantasy.

Marva, that looks like it's right up my alley! I'll probably have to wait until sometime next year to read it (no Kindle and no money-- darn you, Christmas!), but I'm putting it on my Wish List so I won't forget about it. :)

I'm currently reading The Clairvoyant by Marian Thurm (which is not a YA, but I don't think there's anything graphic in it). Not a fan of the style, but it's a relatively fast read and the story's okay. Not sure what I'll read next.

Kaylors Just finished Inheritance last night and started on a few pages of The Darkest Road....once I'm done with that I'm thinking of reading something from Kresley Cole before following that up with Ysabel...that would finish all of Guy Gavriel Kay books for me...

You almost made my eyes pop....just got a mail saying Mariana commented on this group discussion and thought the world had turned upside down. Marianna is also my girlfriend's name and she is NOT a reader...not by a long shot....

Definitely do find the book. I read The Knife of Never Letting Go about a two or three months back and I loved it so much I ended up finishing the other two books and the very short prequel in the next three days....

And thats the trap, isnt it? You read something great and you dont want it to end but you cant go slow either coz its just so good and you need to keep reading...fortunately there isnt a dearth of good books :)

Yep, you can, but to be honest I've almost given up on re-reading books. I mean there are just so many great books out there. One lifetime is hardly enough to take it all in. Rereading doesnt sound like such a great idea in light of that, though yes, the heart does want to visit those old friends again :)

Tamara (bookruckus) | 7 comments I've just started Faking Faith by Josie Bloss

message 1199: by Sunny (new)

Sunny (wkonsunshine) I just finished Silver Phoenix Silver Phoenix (Kingdom of Xia, #1) by Cindy Pon and am finishing Fury of the Phoenix Fury of the Phoenix (Kingdom of Xia, #2) by Cindy Pon . The first one felt like a Percy Jackson installment except with Asian characters. However, I am LOVING the Fury of the Phoenix. Really unexpected and a different kind of book from the first. You can see the author Cindy Pon reaching her stride with this one.
