Haha, thanks. My Aunt has been borrowing it since, like September last year...still on the second one :( Though, she's a slow reader and doesn't read books...like- at all!! :)

I just finished reading A Shade of Vampire by Bella Forrest and it was a refreshing take on vampires and such a quick read...like you could read it in 2 hours

Yeah. I borrowed my sister Eragon (Which she did not finish) Percy Jackson and the lightning thief (Which she also didn't finish)And, like, a million books on animals and whatever, and she NEVER finishes them!!!! My mum, however, loves reading and is almost as quick as what i am when reading. We share a lot of books :)

I felt the same way about Goddess Inheritance. It gets really boring around the middle, almost like its filler text. The ending is really good, though, so if you can power through, its worth it!

Sara | 1037 comments The Stone Guardian by Theresa McClinton which is turning out pretty good so far, and then I need to start Ezekiel's Bones by Kimberly J Fuller and I have An Abundance of Katherines by John Green as an ebook to the library I need to hurry and get to before it times out. I need a babysitter.

It's a two book series, and it wraps up nicely.

Actually, whenever I read a book that I like I try to send a message to the author. I figure if they went to all the trouble to write it, I can give them a few minutes of my life to let them know they hit a bullseye. Especially self-published authors, when there is a possibility that say, only 12 people actually read their book!

When I chatted with one author that I read 4 books of, she said I was her biggest fan. And I said "My name is not Annie Wilkes and DON'T ever say that!!"

There is another one by Laura Kaye about a woman who falls in love with a snowman (!!!). It's really, really good, but for the life of me I can't remember the title. But it is part of a series.

All this talk of Boundless is making me want to read it, but that series was just okay for me. May push it up just to finish the series!!

Lynn Worton I'm reading Twin Flames by Debbie Christiana Twin Flames by Debbie Christiana. Not sure if it's YA, but I think Young Adults could read it. It's quite interesting! It's a romance.

About to read Holly Black's Black Heart (Curse Workers #3) by Holly Black and Hounded (The Iron Druid Chronicles, #1) by Kevin Hearne
