Thank you!

AnQi (anqiyu) | 85 comments I've been getting ARC's from my book club but recently that's been slowing down. That's OK though; I've recently discovered that books that have already been published before 2011 are still great. :)

I just finished 13 Little Blue Envelopes (Little Blue Envelope, #1) by Maureen Johnson . You can see my review here. Now I'm starting the second book. So excited!!

Mad Scientist (madscientist) | 1119 comments I'm taking it easy. Reading Moon Called (Mercedes Thompson, #1) by Patricia Briggs Moon Called by Patricia Briggs on my recovery bed. I needed a bit of a pick me up. I'm only at page 26 so u can see I'm taking it easy. A few pages here and there when I can focus.

Once I'm healed a bit and not taking the pain meds that pull me into a coma like state I'll be starting one of King's books. Last I checked it was tied 10 to 10. I hope we can get talking about both books.

It's ok. I wasn't crazy about futuristic Victorian at first. Then I warmed up slightly to it. But now I'm sort of into the story now.

I got a Kindle too from one of my brothers earlier this month as an early birthday gift! I've not read any books yet on it, been playing some of the free games I got from Amazon on it. It's a Kindle Touch by the way.

I thought Graceling was so boring. I didn't even give Fire a go. I'm surprised I finished it. Is bitterblue better??

I'm planning on re-reading Fire before I start Bitterblue. I hope you like it!

Zakiya LadyWings (zladywings) finished Clockwork Prince (The Infernal Devices, #2) by Cassandra Clare started Harvest Moon by C.L. Bevill


message 177: by Nikki (new)

Nikki (readbynight) | 42 comments I just started 75 Years Of DC Comics The art Of Modern Mythmaking by Paul Levitz today. It's so hard to read because it's the size of my torso and weighs almost 20 pounds. And in most places the font is really really really tiny. The main text is large enough to read without having to hold it up though and it's very interesting. I've already learned a ton of stuff I didn't know about this company I thought I already knew everything about.
So far well worth the $150 I paid. Well as soon as I got it, just having it, was worth the price but knowing that it's also informative (and gorgeous) makes it worth it even more.

Aneeqah | 227 comments I finished Fire (The Seven Kingdoms, #2) by Kristin Cashore last night, and started Bitterblue (The Seven Kingdoms, #3) by Kristin Cashore !


message 181: by Tanya (new)

Tanya (mrsreads) | 106 comments I stayed up way to late last night reading The Hot Zone A Terrifying True Story by Richard Preston . This is one of those books that I can't believe I haven't yet read, but now that I've picked it up I can't put it down! Luckily I have a pretty strong stomach, so I got a lot of it read during dinner last night. :)


message 182: by Aneeqah (new)

Aneeqah | 227 comments I finished Bitterblue (The Seven Kingdoms, #3) by Kristin Cashore ! Next, I think I'm going to start Where Things Come Back by John Corey Whaley , which won the Printz award this year.


message 183: by Zakiya (new)

Zakiya LadyWings (zladywings) How was Bitterblue!?


message 184: by Aneeqah (new)

Aneeqah | 227 comments The beginning wasn't that great, but the ending was amaaazing! I gave it 4 stars, although I'm considering giving it 4.5.


message 185: by Zakiya (new)

Zakiya LadyWings (zladywings) That's great!!! I can't wait till it hits the shelves! :D


message 186: by Aneeqah (new)

Aneeqah | 227 comments I'm excited to see what people think of it. =) I'm having a hard time writing my review though!! I'm trying not to give away anything, which is difficult...


message 187: by Zakiya (new)

Zakiya LadyWings (zladywings) I can understand that! Don't you hate it when that happens? :)


message 188: by Aneeqah (new)

Aneeqah | 227 comments Ugh, yes! I'm still struggling with it! I really want to talk to someone who's already read it, because I have some things I really want to say about it...


message 189: by Zakiya (new)

Zakiya LadyWings (zladywings) Haha, well as soon as it comes out, you can talk all you want about it to me! :) Haha, but that'll be quite a while. Even after I get it, it will probably take me a while to get around to reading it.


message 190: by Angela (new)

Angela B | 425 comments Ahhh I just about freaked out thinking I missed the release of bitterblue


message 191: by Aneeqah (new)

Aneeqah | 227 comments Zakiya- It's totally worth the wait!!

Angela- Don't worry, it comes out May 1st. =) I was just lucky enough to get an ARC!

message 193: by Zakiya (new)

Zakiya LadyWings (zladywings) I'm sure it is, Aneeqah!

Gawsh...my reading for February is HORRIBLE! :( I do this every year. January is super ahmazing, and then I completely slack off in Feb. I'm gonna have a lot of making up to do if I want to reach 12 books this month!


message 194: by ★Meghan★ (new)

★Meghan★ (starinheaven) | 1455 comments I am trying to catch up from last month. If I keep up with how I did in January I will be able to read nearly 100 books.

Ugh, I know! I've only read 2 books so far this month... I need to catch up for this month [even though I'm 3 books ahead, I know there'll be times when I won't be able to read for a few weeks].


message 196: by ★Meghan★ (new)

★Meghan★ (starinheaven) | 1455 comments I am actually doing well this month. But I may fall to the wayside here soon. Since someone is quitting at work. And just when it was starting to get nicer with less hours.


message 197: by Zakiya (new)

Zakiya LadyWings (zladywings) Aneeqah-- I haven't completed anything yet. I've read, like, 10 pages in Incarceron, and have been reading Great Expectations, but that's only because I don't want to fail English.

Hopefully I'll be able to really work this weekend and get lots of chores and reading (and blogging!) done.


Woohoo, Meghan! :D

I just started Great Expectations, too. For the 200th birthday of Charles Dickens, which was on February 7th. Which edition are you using? The B & N one is pretty good- it's footnoted so a lot of the archaic words and items are explained.


message 199: by Zakiya (new)

Zakiya LadyWings (zladywings) I have no clue. It's a school edition, which is the only reason I'm reading it. But I'm actually starting to like it; when you start pushing through all the big words, etc., it really isn't half bad.
