Currently reading Reached, from the Matched series. I like how she changes the person each chapter, it gives the story more Perspective.

I have heard such good things and it was chosen for me this month in the pick-for-me challenge so I am excited to start it. Picking it up from the library today!
Angelkiller by H. David Blalock. It's a paranormal tale about an organization called "The Army" as they battle against the dark forces that control the world. Review is here.
I just finished reading
Awesome awesome book! Onto my next book
(If you haven't read So B. It by Sarah Weeks, I suggest you should, I don't get too emotional after reading any books, but I cried after reading that one. I love you Sarah Weeks!!
currently reading: The Happiness Project: Or Why I Spent a Year Trying to Sing in the Morning, Clean My Closets, Fight Right, Read Aristotle, and Generally Have More Fun
Recently finished Rasputin's Bastards by David Nickle, a tale about psychic cold warriors after the fall of the USSR and their plans for world domination. Our review is here, if anyone is interested.
I working my way through The Stress of Her Regard. This isn't light reading at all but I love Tim Powers attention to detail and history.
“Some creatures had been made as art; others were pure utility. Vultures had been shaped in haste to clean a field of slaughter when a powerful elemental had first begun to toy with death in the new-made world. The notion of murder had been born that day, and the Djinn had fashioned vultures to spare themselves the sight of it. They’d made them out of shame and had done well to make them; vultures had never fallen out of use since”Excerpt From: Taylor, Laini. “Blackbringer.” Penguin Group (USA), Inc., NONE. iBooks.

I am reading at the moment
I've been thinking about reading this books for few weeks now. It seems really interesting. Before I knew it and I was already past the 100th page :)
Just finished reading Midnight Alley - Rachel Caine. Now I am going to read Hearts and Arrows - David G. Pearce.
I have a ton of ARCs that I am reading, including

@Tt - I just finished & wrote my review :) I looooved the book. There's no mention of a sequel (yet) but I'd love more! There was no cheesy romance, just magic and mystery. Highly recommend!!
Finished
and really enjoyed it. Was cute and romantic. Starting
next. Very excited for this one since I loved
:)
So right now I'm reading Going Under by Georgia Cates. When I started it, I really liked it even the the cover makes no sense. I'm over have way done and now it's AWEFUL... The writing is soooo crappy... There is NO syntax!! Plus I'm laughing half the time because Jessi does not sound like an eighteen year old guy, but an eighty year old grandma. I DO NOT recommend anyone to read this.
Just finished Saga by Conor Kostick. It was book two and I have no desire to read Edna (book three), but since I have it from the library...I might. *shrug*To add to my torture, I'm now reading
. I did not like book two at all but I feel the need to finish the series. (another reason why I'll wind up reading Edna -.-)
Finished After a Stroke and The Teaching of Talking: Learn to Do Expert Speech Therapy at Home With Children and Adults and have moved on to How to Conquer the World With One Hand...And an Attitude.
Has finished Hearts and Arrows - David G. Pearce. Now I am going back to Witchy, Witchy - Penelope King.
I've just finished
by Nicholas Evans and
by Janet Evanovich.The Divide started off so well but the plot did get quite slow halfway through the book. I did wish it would speed up at times but the story did remain strangely engaging. The last 60 or 70 pages of the novel were just as gripping and compelling as the first half of the novel. To tell the truth, I enjoyed the family drama sub-plot a lot more than I liked the murder mystery plot but I think that was probably because I didn't like the character of Abbie all that much so I found it hard to care about what happened to her. I loved all the vivid and wonderful descriptions of the Montana setting and landscape that made me feel like I was actually there. Nicholas Evans has got a great writing style and I love his use of language and imagery. I gave this novel 3½ stars!

I love all the regular Stephanie Plum novels but I'm not sure I like these between the numbers novellas. I was very disappointed by Plum Lovin'. Nothing much happened in it and it was extremely dull and boring. It wasn't anywhere near as funny as the regular novels do be and I really hate the supernatural element in the novella. I gave it 1½ stars!

Now I'm a few chapters into
by Jennifer Donnelly.
