Sarah (sb3626) | 15 comments I finished reading Falling under and it was amazing I am so glad that Candy chose this for me to read!!!

Ashley Brown (asarabaenre) So I just finished The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (Hitchhiker's Guide, #1) by Douglas Adams . Well, Sydney, that was an ... interesting... read. Don't get me wrong, I loved it! The only problem is that I now want to just throw aside all of my other to-be-reads for this month and continue with the series!


message 154: by Elle (new)

Elle (louiselesley) I can confirm that the second is just as good. I bought the third recently to read too Ashley :D

Ashley Brown (asarabaenre) I may have also just stumbled onto an Audiobook version of the first book read by the wonderful Stephen Fry. I sense a re-read (or perhaps re-listen) coming on.

Raven (missy_aurora) | 0 comments I finished The Fault in Our Stars by John Green last night which was amazing love story yet really sad, one of the best books I've read this year and will recommend it to others.

I've heard that a lot about this one. I think I might have to move it up on my 'list.'

Suzanne Pringle | 120 comments I finished The Maze Runner (Maze Runner, #1) by James Dashner

I am not too sure how I feel about it. It was a well-written book , had great action and a read it in a few days. I guess I am not too sure about the whole -teenagers taken and used as mice point of the story. But it worked in the book.

Thanks for a good pick :)

I loved both, and it's hard to choose between them, so you get to decide ..."


Armi - Thank you so much for picking
Abandon (Abandon Trilogy, #1) by Meg Cabot for me I loved it!! I can't wait to read the next one in the series. :)


message 164: by Janis (new)

Janis (janispr80) | 75 comments I've finished my book First Grave on the Right (Charley Davidson, #1) by Darynda Jones and I absolutely loved it! It reminded me of Veronica Mars expect for the whole grim reaper / supernatural aspect to it...

Anyway I would highly recommend this book and can't wait to find out what happens in the next book!

I am glad that you did. I haven't read the series yet. Thanks for choosing my pick, I haven't read classic murder mystery in a while. I truly missed those. Lately I've been reading dystopian, paranormal and fantasy. So thanks for the needed break.

Ashley (savoietruffle) | 32 comments So I finished The Summoning (Darkest Powers, #1) by Kelley Armstrong and I think I liked it :)
I'm going to read more into the series and see how it goes. Going to try and tackle divergent before the end of the month too, if not then asap.

Thanks Suzanne for choosing for me.

message 169: by Tawna (new)

Tawna | 479 comments I didn't get to read Beautiful Disaster this month because my new library doesn't have it....HOWEVER, now that I've had my new library card for a month I can get on the Texas Share Library card and go to any library in Texas so I should be able to find it nearby to read in September....I am excited to read it as I have been wanting to for a while!!!


message 170: by Patty (new)

Patty | 48 comments I finished The Summoning, The Darkest Powers book #1. I loved it! Not sure I'm going to have time to get through my second recommendation. I'm being on my reading this month!


message 171: by Mere (new)

Mere (starsintheireyes) I finished The Perks of Being a Wallflower, and it was very well-written; I also appreciated how it dealt with several sensitive topics.
