Cool Zoe. I just got it from the library and going to start it in the morning.

Sounds great! The rest of us should definitely do a buddy read!

Same here. It was my #2 overall best of 2013.

I loved that Starcrossed (Starcrossed, #1) by Josephine Angelini series too. It does get kind of crazy by Goddess, but there is a good resolution and a happy ending.

Jen (jenwesner) | 1222 comments I'm committed to working my way thru my purchased-but-not-read-yet print books. Last night I started and finished Impossible (Impossible, #1) by Nancy Werlin which was pretty good. I have the sequel from the library but not sure I want to read it just yet - I have others I'm more interested in. Also started 3 59 by Gretchen McNeil last night on audio, which should be a quick read, and I'm about halfway thru The Moon Dwellers (The Dwellers, #1) by David Estes which I am really enjoying. I try to always have an audio, a print, and an e-book going at once. You'd think it would get confusing, but I do try and mix the genres so I don't get confused.

You absolutely MUST read Crewel. It has this fantastic premise - women who weave matter out of time. Plus there's political intrigue, a romance (sort of a love triangle but not an annoying one), surprises, and a cool ending. And fortunately, the 2nd book Altered is already out.

It's complicated enough that I want to re-read it, since I read it early last year. I have a buddy read of Incarnate starting Sunday - but I can do Innocence now (Karen) and then Crewel when everyone is ready.

message 5768: by Kritika (new)

Kritika (spidersilksnowflakes) I'm reading MaddAddam (MaddAddam Trilogy #3) by Margaret Atwood right now, and I have to read Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World by Haruki Murakami for a book club - not exactly light reading! I've never read a Haruki Murakami book so I feel like I'm going to be super confused...

I've not read Scarlet, nor have I read Hopeless, but definitely Hopeless is (currently sitting on my Kindle) and will be read within the next week or so (I'm hoping).

Hopeless is very very emotional. Hoover brings out every emotion in you.

Just finished Escaping Reality (The Secret Life of Amy Bensen, #1) by Lisa Renee Jones and it was good! I was glued to it from being to end! Very mature content FYI! But an amazing suspense and mystery, with, unfortunately, a big cliffhanger! Now got to find out when the sequel comes out!

I've read The Testing, and it was just all right for me. Not bad, just not something I was jumping up and down for. I do have the prequel, picked it up free on Kindle. I'm waiting for my library to get Independent Study, I don't really want to buy it. Graduation Day (The Testing, #3) by Joelle Charbonneau (the final book) comes out in June, so at least its not a long wait between sequels!
