Finishing up UnSouled (Unwind, #3) by Neal Shusterman . Eep, sooooo good. Really flying through it for being a weekday. Also reading a bit of Last Days of Summer by Steve Kluger from our "around the world read". Started listening to The False Prince (The Ascendance Trilogy, #1) by Jennifer A. Nielsen this morning. And hoping to start Allegiant (Divergent, #3) by Veronica Roth later tonight, may have to go back and reread Insurgent (Divergent, #2) by Veronica Roth first. Yikes! So many incredible books!


Bridget's Quiet Corner  (chaptersandscreens) I'm going between two books...One on Kindle, the other, a regular book...

The Slither Sisters (Tales from Lovecraft Middle School #2) by Charles Gilman {Regular Book}



The Forgotten Ones (The Danaan Trilogy, #1) by Laura Howard {Kindle Book} (as of 10/24/13, the book is .99)

Oh my gosh, you've got a GREAT lineup!

Zoe Cannon (zoecannon) Reading Allegiant (Divergent, #3) by Veronica Roth right now :) At first I wasn't sure about it, but at about halfway through it started coming together for me. Now I'm just hoping it stays good. I haven't read any reviews, but the star average on Amazon is making me nervous.

The ratings looked pretty high when I looked...but its getting a lot of backlash (allegiant)

I loved it up until the ending, then I was a sobbing mess! Still not sure what to rate it!

Zoe Cannon (zoecannon) Finished Allegiant (Divergent, #3) by Veronica Roth today. WOW. I've been seriously underestimating Veronica Roth as a writer. Review here: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

The Raven Boys (The Raven Cycle, #1) by Maggie Stiefvater

Jenny (juliababyjen) | 12932 comments Mod
Love the Raven Boys! I really need to read the sequel!

Finished reading Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell and I loved it!!! Wonderful contemporary! I liked Eleanor & Park a little better, but this one was awesome--it was very NA, except for no graphic sex. In fact, the relationships did not have a lot to do with sex, it was more emotional...Rainbow Rowell is a genius at writing these kinds of things!!

Also just finished The Vile Village (A Series of Unfortunate Events, #7) by Lemony Snicket This series gets better with each book!

FanGirl was such a fun book. I don't really like books with a lot of graphic sex. I prefer tamer love stories like FanGirl.

I loved The Raven Boys! Although, I can't say that about the sequel which I just finished. The Dream Thieves (The Raven Cycle, #2) by Maggie Stiefvater . It was a bit of a dissapointment for me but everyone else seemed to enjoy it so who knows.

I also am impatiently awaiting the arrival of Allegiant (Divergent, #3) by Veronica Roth and The House of Hades (The Heroes of Olympus, #4) by Rick Riordan which I ordered online on Amazon and are coming on Wednesday!

I have heard a lot of good things about this one. May need to move it up!

Amreen | 28 comments ATTENTION: You can buy a signed copy of Allegiant (Divergent, #3) by Veronica Roth on Amazon right now! It's just a quick, little 'VR' scrawled and I'm sure she signed thousand copies but I thought it'd be really neat for big fans of the series and it's only about $5 extra than if you were to buy it without the signature. If you haven't bought it already or want to buy one with a scrawl I suggest you go see it now. I don't know how many more they have in stock. Enjoy!

Yeah, I can see that. I tried reading it before but I had trouble getting into it. I just picked it up again and I'm liking it better than the first time.

That's awesome! I wish I would've known they would do that before I pre-ordered.

Yes!! Love it!! I'm reading Birthmarked (Birthmarked, #1) by Caragh M. O'Brien has anyone else read this series?


message 5038: by Jenny, Always smiling! :-D (new)

Jenny (juliababyjen) | 12932 comments Mod
I have!!! Oh, I wish I knew you were going to be reading it, I would have reread it with you! Its a really interesting dystopian series!


message 5039: by Jenny, Always smiling! :-D (new)

Jenny (juliababyjen) | 12932 comments Mod
The novellas are worth reading, too. Birthmarked (Birthmarked, #1) by Caragh M. O'Brien and Promised (Birthmarked, #3) by Caragh M. O'Brien are my favorites in the series.

Jenny (juliababyjen) | 12932 comments Mod
I finished reading Unwind (Unwind, #1) by Neal Shusterman and I loved it!!

So all in all, I read 5 books for my read-a-thon this week. That's actually kind of pathetic (for me!) Oh, well, I was very busy! Next week will be even busier!


message 5041: by DeAnna (new)

DeAnna (dee84812) | 671 comments Almost finished with Stealing Parker by Miranda Kenneally . I needed something completely different and a lot lighter after Allegiant (Divergent, #3) by Veronica Roth


message 5042: by Jenny, Always smiling! :-D (new)

Jenny (juliababyjen) | 12932 comments Mod
I hear you there, DeAnna! I was trying to read Unwind right after Allegiant, and that so wasn't happening! I switched to Fangirl instead!


message 5043: by DeAnna (new)

DeAnna (dee84812) | 671 comments I'm supposed to be reading Parasite (Parasitology, #1) by Mira Grant , but it's dystopian-ish, and I just needed something different.


message 5044: by Zoe (new)

Zoe Cannon (zoecannon) I'm having a hard time getting into any books right now - I have a serious book hangover after Allegiant (Divergent, #3) by Veronica Roth . I've been bouncing between a reread of Open Minds (Mindjack Trilogy, #1) by Susan Kaye Quinn and a dense nonfiction book that's been sitting in my TBR pile for two years.


message 5045: by deedee (new)

deedee megadoodoo (deedeemegadoodoo) Wuahhhh
I need Allegiant (Divergent, #3) by Veronica Roth so flipping bad it's ridiculous and distracting.

I've been reading An Abundance of Katherines by John Green for a while now, however not because it's a bad novel or because it's tedious, but just because John Green writes words that need to be read indulgently and to the fullest, which I haven't been able to completely do cause I've been busy with life TT>TT
