Suzanne (osuzanneoo) Just finished the Girl On a The Train and Uprooted! Currently reading Frozen and The Child Thief.

Girl On The Train was uneventful.

Uprooted was a magical book with a magical world. It's characters were complex and beautiful. Reading it was an adventure.

Lauree Waldrop | 7 comments I found this on Amazon and just finished it. It didn't have any ratings, and I don't usually buy novellas, but I really enjoyed it. It wasn't a full length novel, but it wasn't super quick either. I really liked the main character.

♥ Ashleigh ♥  Contrary to popular belief I'm not actually mad! (cheshire_red) | 86 comments Finshed Mortal Danger (Immortal Game, #1) by Ann Aguirre and The Army of the Undead (The Witch Hunter Chronicles, #2) by Stuart Daly both very entertaining YA reads. The Army of the Undead had witch hunters from the holy roman empire era, they used swords to kill zombies and homicidal fallen angels, how could you not enjoy that?!

Now reading Time Salvager (Time Salvager #1) by Wesley Chu how wonderful is that cover? I was actually on the way out of the library after picking up The Good Women of China Hidden Voices by Xinran when i saw Time Salvager (it's one of those fast back books so i can only loan it for 7 days max) so yea i went back and hired it out as well!! here's hoping its good! the back sounded very interesting.


message 7093: by Soph ♡ (new)

Soph ♡ I am almost finished with Alice in Zombieland (White Rabbit Chronicles, #1) by Gena Showalter . Not sure what I make of this book yet, at some points it seems so poorly written and other times I find myself getting engrossed in the storyline. Think it may be a while before I decide to continue with this series.
