I am currently reading Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell and love it! It took me a while to get into it and I am not usually a fan alternating point of view characters. However, I really love the characters Rowell has created. They are wonderfully endearing and their feelings are very realistic for an awkward teenage romance. I also like that both the male and the female character have strong personality traits. Neither character is just a shell or "perfect", but instead have a realistic balance of good qualities and flaws.

Oh, my Meghan!! Do not give up on this series. It will keep getting better and better.
Frostbite is really good and will start to explain all of the mysteries of who Elena is. And then
Moonbreeze is coming out in November will finally have the connection between Elena and who whe is supposed to be with!!! I highly encourage you to persevere!!! It is worth it!!
Also, if you go to Adrienne Woods facebook page and sign up for her newsletter you will get an email every Friday with a chapter on the upcoming bookMoonbreeze before it's release in November. Also there is a Fifth book called Starlight coming out right after Moonbreeze. This series is one of my favorite and I am definitely not that young!!

ok- i will. ;)
Slay it with Flowers by Kate Collins. (Second book in the Flower Shop Mysteries) My Aunt bought all the books for me.
Really, really good so far. 104 pages in and the only reason I didn't just read it in one sitting is because I HAD to get some sleep before getting up for work the next morning.
Right now I'm reading Frozen Charlotte but I have a huge stack of books by my bed and a load of reservations in the library :)
Ink by Amanda Sun. The writing's kind of mediocre and characters don't have much depth but the concept is really interesting.
@MB I loved Ink! but I also spent some time in Japan in college and totally got some of the things the characters did or said that weren't exactly examined. if u can here the anime voices of the characters when they are fooling around, or the culture stereotype references, it makes it a lot more fun. I've tried getting some other reader buddies to read it, but they had a hard time with it too. book 2 is better even than first. I read it through on a plane like a woman possessed. I have book 3- storm- but haven't started it yet.
just finished the wilds, by Donna Augustine. as always, her books are full of hilarity, embarrassment, and some poor excuse to get a guy shirtless. and still, she manages to make me mist up a bit a time or two.
I finished
last night. Took longer for me to get into than the first book, but it ended up being quite intense.Up next,

today on audio. I haven't seen the movie, but the book is incredible so far!"I really liked the book and the movie. If you like the book, I'd consider giving the movie a watch, personally.

Just re-read The Revenge of Seven to refresh my memory. Now I'm reading the Fate of Ten by Pittacus Lore when I should be studying school notes for the exams.

"Rot and Ruin is hilarious. if you are down with a bit of dark humor.
Percy Jackson and the lightening thief...enjoying it so far..will definitely try and finish this series
Emma by Jane Austen. I'm reading it for school but I'm enjoying it because the main character, Emma, is a seflish, spoiled brat who manipulates people. Mr. Knightley is quite dashing :D
