Revolution is absolutely AMAZING!

[Zakiya]

I know! I'm already 130 pages in and I'm absolutely LOVING it! :D

[Zakiya]

finished and starting to reread

[Mad Scientist]

I'm not too fond of the Clockwork Angel and Prince books. they are ok but do you feel that the characters are so similar to the ones of the MI series. Except names and clothing??

Speaking of.... I really need to get my but in gear reading the MI series. I've read city of bones like five times but never finished the series. Ok, kicks self. Maybe that is something we can read for the BOM city of ashes. LOL!

[Mad Scientist]

Just started reading the vampires assistant last night!!!! To my son but wow. We have killer similar tastes sometimes!!

[Zakiya]

Yeah I feel the same way about the characters, but I still like the series. The historical makes up for it for me I guess.

You still haven't read those? Oh dear! You simply must catch up!

I finished the 5th in that series last month. Only still reading them because my little bro is on my case about finishing the series. They're good, but not something I would read on a regular basis. My school's librarian gave me this "Why are you wasting your time reading these?" look every time I checked one out from her lol.

[Zakiya]

finished rereading started immediately after lol :)

[Zakiya]

almost finished with !

[Mad Scientist]

I have crescendo sitting on my shelf at home. Stop teasing me!! ;)

I started yesterday & I'm half done with it. I hope to be done with it today. I need to get my reading on and out of the rut so I can catch up with you.

TIme to kick in super gear at least a bit. I'll be reading more once I get home and kids are in school. So, I tell myself this just to make me think I can catch up to you. ha ha ha!

Went to go see the Avengers last night in the theater. It was pretty funny. Have you seen this one? I know your fam are movie goers.

[Mad Scientist]

did you just stop reading wicked??

I was wondering...

[Mad Scientist]

I edited my Mad Scientist counts page. I added in some of the books that I do remember reading here. So you can see not many but I did pass up 200 books since I started counting. That is pretty cool. I past up 200 books while I was in China. Wow. I guess I have finished more books then I thought I have. :) Oh happy day!

[Zakiya]

LOL! I sowey :). I seem to tease you mroe often than not haha.

LOL x2! Don't worry, I'm sure you'll catch up to and pass me in no time. You always do ;) Isn't this the year that determines whose better????

LOVED Avengers!!! We're Marvel people, point blank period. So this one was a must; we'd been waiting for it since last year haha.

Yep, wasn't as interesting, although I was only 17 pages in. I had to turn it back in to the school's library, though. I'll try again in August :).

Woohoo!!! Congrats :). I'm not even sure how many I've got. Not sure I want to count so soon. Maybe after 2012 is over.

[Zakiya]

finished and

[Mad Scientist]

Winter girls should be good. I really liked Speak.

[Zakiya]

It was good! It was a little bit depressing for me, but overall it was super good.

[Mad Scientist]

Same with Speak. It must be how she writes.

[Zakiya]

Yeah. But it's a good style of writing. She writes about real stuff, you know? Makes you look at life a little differently.

[Zakiya]

finished

[Mad Scientist]

Stop finishing books!! How can I catch up? LOL!

[Zakiya]

LOL! I'm sorry! Lately it's been my goal to catch back up to my year goal. GoodReads is tell me I'm about 16-17 books behind. Nothing personal :)

[★Meghan★]

She is on a reading roll this month. I am currently stilla about 8 books ahead on my goal but we will see what happens I am not reading early as fast as I used to earlier this year.

[Zakiya]

Thanks, Meghan :). I feel like I could be a lot faster if I wasn't tweeting all the time.

[Mad Scientist]

I know what you mean! It says I'm 26 books behind if I'm going to make the 144 books. That's a lot of work to catch up...

But well done with the reading! Both of you!

[Zakiya]

Thanks!

And yeah, I just figure if I put myself into overtime and read a little more each month, I might make it.

[Zakiya]

finished

[Mad Scientist]

I checked my goodreads goal to read 80 and I'm right on track of that goal so I'm happy about that :)

[Zakiya]

Woohoo! That's great! :D

[Mad Scientist]

I just finished my 31st book of the year.

[Zakiya]

You go girl! :) You aren't that far behind me at all. You'll catch up in now time!

[Zakiya]

finished

[Zakiya]

finished . One more book and I'll hve 15 this month. Wooh!

[Mad Scientist]

Eyes like stars?? Was it good. I keep wanting to read it and never get to it. *pouts*

On a roll. Good thing it is June. You can stop kicking my butt.

[Zakiya]

Haha I'm never kicking your butt. When you flourish, I die off, and vice versa. We're pretty much just complementing each other lol :).

Yep! ELS was awesome; you should totally keep wanting to read it. Make sure you never forget about it. I need money to get the second and third books.

[Mad Scientist]

I think that is very much true. We are mostly tied and once one of falls behind we always manage to catch up. We tend to be the perfect motivators for each other. LOL! What a odd relationship but it works!!!

[Zakiya]

It definitely does! :p

[Zakiya]

finished on the 31st.

have finished and so far this month

[Mad Scientist]

What is the crazy euro chick book. Never heard of it but sounds like a travelish book I would enjoy! What's next for you?

[Zakiya]

Actually, it takes place completely in New York City, but it's really good! It started off kind of weird, but once you get a few chapters into it, it's pretty intriguing.

I just finished listening to , so after I update everything I'm going to try to read .

[Zakiya]

finished ! going to start today if i can find the time.

[Mad Scientist]

How was bumped?

Since Talon lost the iphone I don't have a way to finish listening to The Night Circus! *sad face*

[Zakiya]

Bumped was actually pretty good! It takes a few chapters to get into it, but once you're far enough into it, you're really into it. At least I was anyway-- I was yelling at charries LOL :)

[Zakiya]

Finished . Started reading today.

[Mad Scientist]

Almost started Hourglass the other day! What did you think of it!?
