What kind of phone do you have Angela? Mine won't update anything unless I tell it to. Sometimes I don't want ot to update if I hear bad stuff about it.

I had a major book hangover after Allegiant, too. I only listened to HP for two days before starting another book. I ended up reading Stealing Parker, which is a light contemporary, which I needed because it was so completely different from Allegiant. I think it worked, but I'm having a hard time deciding what to read next because I'm feeling a little nervous regarding dystopians at this point. lol

That being said, I think my next read is going to be Another Little Piece by Kate Karyus Quinn in honor of Halloween this week.

I got that on audio, but I'm not sure when I'm going to get around to it yet.

I know I have probably said this before but I love this book. It's so fresh and interesting, very different than everything I read.

I"m in the middle of reading that! I really like it so far, it's quite creepy and I want to finish it up before Halloween. But...I completely dropped every book I was reading and pushed them all aside because I finally got my copy of Allegiant (Divergent, #3) by Veronica Roth !!! Just flew through the first 100 pages in a measly hour!

Oh I want to re-read that before I go see the movie as well! I'll have to get around to that. Glad you're liking it! In my opinion, it was the best and my favorite in the series.

You should definitely read it again before going to the movies. It's such an easy read. I do like it better than the first one so far. I haven't read the last one yet, so we will see...

First have to finish Allegiant (Divergent, #3) by Veronica Roth and The Girl of Fire and Thorns (Fire and Thorns, #1) by Rae Carson first. Can't rationalize reading three books at once! :)

Personally I wasn`t too huge of a fan of the last one, the ending was too abrupt in my opinion but maybe you`ll enjoy it, happy reading!

It was just released today and it really is quite a nice read for the season we're in. I'll be interested in hearing your thoughts on it. I'm pretty excited about it myself!

Still listening to The False Prince (The Ascendance Trilogy, #1) by Jennifer A. Nielsen so I'm ready for the author Q&A starting on Nov 4th!! Eep! Here's the thread:

It's really great story and my favorite all the time!! Happy to know that you're starting to read The Iron Knight :D

I'm currently read

Seriously none of your libraries have it? I found it on audio at mine - so did Karen. I'm assuming you checked online too - seems odd that yours wouldn't have it.

I finished The Dark Unwinding (The Dark Unwinding, #1) by Sharon Cameron and I loved it! It was actually a good book for Halloween, it had the creepiness factor surrounding a mystery! I just love Steampunk

Reading Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children (Miss Peregrine, #1) by Ransom Riggs and OMG, this is so creepy, but just amazing! Who has read this one? If you haven't, its def worth reading!

Thank you! I feel the same way so far, I did not like the first 30% at all but at the beginning of the second part I thought: "That is so weird and brilliant and totally unexpected" and I'm all in for plot twists :) (especially with books that I did not like at all at first)

I read this a few years ago and I really loved it :)
I think they are even planning on making this a movie with Tim Burton directing it!

I've read

[book:Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children|9460487]. I Liked it, it was pretty good. I thought there was supposed to be a sequel but I haven't seen it.

Gone Girl was one of those books that seemed to get a lot of mixed reviews. I actually wound up liking all the twists and turns and even the ending. it seemed most fitting.
