Where's Mandisa? In a corner reading *again*?

#1: Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor
Awesome. Couldn't put it down. Almost tripped down the stairs because I was reading while walking.

#2: City of Bones by Cassandra Clare (re-read -- wanted to refresh my memory before reading the rest of the series)

#3: City of Ashes by Cassandra Clare

#4 & #5: Persepolis: The Story of a Childhood and Persepolis 2: The Story of a Return by Marjane Satrapi
These were truly incredible, the sort of book that sticks with you for days after you read it, and which you know you'll read again. Anyone who ever tells me that graphic novels can't be powerful literature is going to have me smack them over the head with these books.

#6: Embroideries by Marjane Satrapi

I love your title! And I agree with you about Persepolis. It was awesome. Have you seen the movie? I haven't seen it yet.

Thanks! :)
I haven't seen the movie yet, but I definitely want to.

#7, #8 & #9: The Hunger Games,
Catching Fire and Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins

Reread of The Hunger Games before reading the rest of the trilogy. (I read the first book before it was insanely popular! Really I did! I'm cool! ;) ) But in all seriousness, yes, it really is as good as the hype. Even in a second reading, I couldn't put it down. Thank goodness for the anti-Twilight!

(I've been reading...I'm just a lazy updater!)
#10: The Walking Dead, Vol. 1: Days Gone Bye
#11: The Walking Dead, Vol. 2: Miles Behind Us
#12: The Walking Dead, Vol. 3: Safety Behind Bars
#13: The Walking Dead, Vol. 4: The Heart's Desire
All by Robert Kirkman. I'd read through issue #24 of The Walking Dead last year, but it has been awhile, so I wanted to reread to refresh my memory and then keep going till I was caught up with the series. Plus, it's interesting to see how it lines up with and diverges from the TV show.
#14: Divergent by Veronica Roth

[Mandisa]

#15: The Whore of Akron: One Man's Search for the Soul of LeBron James
You'll appreciate this book more if you're a fan of NBA basketball, but it's also just pretty funny.

[Mandisa]

My goodness, I need to get caught up...
More reading? Darn! :)

#16: Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo
Aaaghhh...why isn't it 2013 yet?! Must...read...sequel...seriously, one of the best books I've read in a long time. Nearly perfect. And I don't say that lightly!
