And as far as Jennifer Lawrence...I don't think any lead actresses of that age group can really compare to her, she is just AWESOME!!! I'm way more excited for Catching Fire than I am for just about any other book-to-movie adaptation, except maybe The Book Thief and The Great Gatsby (which I haven't seen yet!)

Gabby I watched City of Bones last night.
I hyperventilated.
I cried.
I was shaking in my seat.
I LOVED IT.
And OMG, my favorite scene:

Angel (pointlessasian) | 1 comments Just got the I Am Number Four's The Fall Of Five! I'm so excited.... The Fall of Five (Lorien Legacies, #4) by Pittacus Lore


Steph is: Pageturning578 (stephw1991) I'm thinking about pre-odreding the hardcover box set of the Divergent Series. I have handed out my paperback so many times that its falling apart! I might even keep it so that I can hand that out to other people to read and keep my hardcovers to myself. I am also dying to re-read the first 2 before the 3rd book comes out!

I was also thinking about buying Shatter Me only to find out that it comes out in paperback tomorrow and they no longer have any in stock...

Other than David's books, of course, Hopeless is so awesome! I have never read such an emotional story and I had the biggest book hangover ever!

I just finished Hopeless (Hopeless, #1) by Colleen Hoover last week, and then read Losing Hope (Hopeless, #2) by Colleen Hoover a couple of days ago. Both emotionally exhausting, both wonderful!

I just bought Mockingjay (The Hunger Games, #3) by Suzanne Collins for my granddaughter's nook (and mine since we share an account). I have the hard copy but she likes her Nook. Maybe I finally got her reading dystopians! :-D She's excited to read it.

I've had Persephone on my TBR for awhile, so I take it's worth the read?!

Lola (lolasreviews) | 563 comments I have read Persephone and the sequel and really liked them both and that's saying something as I am not a huge fan of mythology books.


message 1223: by Sherrie (new)

Sherrie | 1212 comments I bought Crewel (Crewel World, #1) by Gennifer Albin Janitors (Janitors, #1) by Tyler Whitesides and Olive's Ocean by Kevin Henkes for Nook and The Night Children (Escape from Furnace, #0.5) by Alexander Gordon Smith and Walls Within Walls by Maureen Sherry for Kindle.

Jenny (juliababyjen) | 12932 comments Mod
LOL SHerry! I will buy my copy in the morning, my paycheck hits my bank account first thing tomorrow morning (great timing, huh??)


message 1226: by Heather (new)

Heather (hersecretsmile) | 290 comments I just bought Rot and Ruin (Benny Imura, #1) by Jonathan Maberry , I Am Not A Serial Killer (John Cleaver, #1) by Dan Wells , The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton , Dicey's Song (Tillerman Cycle, #2) by Cynthia Voigt and The Lightning Thief (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, #1) by Rick Riordan from my favorite used book store. I've already read Dicey's Song but Cynthia Voigt was one of my favorite authors in late elementary school and they had it for fifty cents, so I couldn't pass.

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies by Seth Grahame-Smith

I couldn't resist, its on sale this month on Amazon!


message 1228: by F.F. (new)

F.F. McCulligan Sweet, pride and prejudice and zombies! My grandmother would call that "fresh".

Anyway I just bought a book by Indie author, poet, painter and general bada** Kevin MacNeil Brown called Highway in the Blood. It hasn't arrived yet, but I know I'm going to eat it up. He writes about my home state of VT with the most poetic prose I've ever read, and he has great mystery plots which twine history into the present. I like his Liam Dutra novels, but this is a new protagonist that I'm excited about who is a steel guitar player. The free sample looks good.

Ooohhh, Ashes (Ashes Trilogy, #1) by Ilsa J. Bick is on sale for $1.39 on Kindle and $1.99 on Nook.

After I read The Hunger Games, Ashes solidified my love of YA dystopian! I've been addicted ever since and never would have discovered David or his books if I hadn't picked up this creepy cover way back then.

Marylene | 74 comments OMG...I've bought 16 books so far this month. None are e-books, so of course I had to make room on my already over-flowing bookshelves and I tried to hide it from the boyfriend, but he kept asking why I was being so sneaky, so I had to tell him...lol.

Georgia (georgiiabaker) | 4 comments I absolutely loved Ashes when I first read it, I loved the story and the cliff-hanger like ended. But shadows kinda disappointed me a little bit, no where near as good as the first book
