Started reading Breaktime by Aidan Chambers for my essay on Young Adult literature but I don't exactly know what I'm gonna write about yet.
Ricky wrote: "@Storm: Nice! You liking those?"I love them. I couldn't put down the first book until I needed a break from the intensity. I felt like I could fall right into that world and be perfectly at home...For awhile at least. Plus I'm kind of peculiar myself so I kind of resonate with the characters.

Ricky - Seriously! I just started it...Really wishing I hadn't read the free preview after the first book's ending. XD;
The graphic novel version had a nice little preview of Hollow City as well, again in illustrated form. That was really cool, I thought.

@storm-arashi I thought so... It hasn't been published in my country and I wasn't sure to read ir in ePub version because of the photographs. I'll try Amazon, thanks!
BTW I'm reading Four: a Divergent story, and I just don't want it to finish. Do you guys know if Veronica Roth is going to publish anything else Divergent related? I'm just not prepared to say goodbye to this series.

@Carli, I know how you feel. I just finished Four, and I loved it, but when it ended, I thought, what now? It is always sad to let go of a series. Luckily, there's still the other movies!
I'm currently reading "Clockwork Princess", I'm on page 60 right now and it's really good so far there's still a lot to go :)

I finished reading a fantasy book yesterday so I'm debating whether I should turn to YA or continue on the same path... After reading the shatter me series I'm a bit hesitant on picking up a new YA book. So any recommendations anyone?
I am currently rereading Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. I am hoping to have it finished this week and start the next one.

Sincerely, I'd recommend you follow the Fantasy path, you can find some really great masterpieces. I would recommend to you Throne of Glass. And if you've read that one, then read Finnikin of the Rock. Those are amazing :D
I'm currently reading Wanted: Dead Or In Love. Next I plan on reading Shatter Me and after that, The Left Hand of God. My TBR list is getting soooo long lol
Just finished reading
World of Lies by Inez DeLoach gave it 5 stars. Now I am reading
Wool by Huge Howey kind of slow but I have high hopes for it.

reading the Gone-series. Loving them so far ,even if they creep me out so much I convinced myself there was giant beetles coming for me in the middle of the night.
Never read about beetles in the middle of the night ;)
Just finished
. Waited months for it to come out, finished the whole thing in a couple of hours haha.
Just finished 'We Were Liars'
and now onto 'City of Heavenly Fire'
Almost a little scared to read it as then the Mortal Instrument series will be over :(

Just loved that series! A few disturbing images in the series though, that's for sure!
I started the Gone series, but I stopped halfway through the series, because it was just too terrifying.
