Reading Enders (Starters, #2) by Lissa Price which I am enjoying, and also Rematch (The Vortex Series, #1) by Janine Caldwell for a blog tour which has hooked me already! Its a time travel/sci-fi series.

I finished both Rematch (pretty good, was a quick read) and Enders, which was crazy!! Loads of surprises throughout the story. I'll come on and leave more comments in the buddy read later tonight, have 4H tonight!

Heather (hersecretsmile) | 290 comments I started Across a Star-Swept Sea (For Darkness Shows the Stars, #2) by Diana Peterfreund today. I had high expectations because I loved For Darkness Shows the Stars (For Darkness Shows the Stars, #1) by Diana Peterfreund and they're not being quite met which is diappointing.

I'm reading Altered (Crewel World, #2) by Gennifer Albin on audio. I think I'll switch over to ebook tonight though because I don't think I can wait another week to finish this one. ;-)

Probably a good idea - it's fairly complicated in terms of the world building.

I started Red Hill by Jamie McGuire yesterday and it is really good! Karen, I think you'd really like it. It's not YA - all about zombies with light horror/gore. I'm finding that I like spending time with these characters. It's 3 POV's and Emma Galvin is doing the younger teenaged girl - the other MCs are a 30ish man with a daughter about 6-7 and a 30ish mother with 2 girls, one a pre-teen and the other is about 9 I think. Really, really good.

I hope you do too! I am enjoying AaSSS more than I was in the beginning. Also Diana Peterfreund is phenomenal at world building. :)

I finished reading Double Fault (The Vortex Series) by Janine Caldwell and Deuce (The Vortex Series, #3) by Janine Caldwell for a blog tour! Not a bad time-travel trilogy by an Indie!

I have NO IDEA what I'm reading next. Maybe I should try and finish Altered (Crewel World, #2) by Gennifer Albin

Jeann (Happy Indulgence)  (happyindulgence) | 258 comments I've heard so much about The Lies of Locke Lamora (Gentleman Bastard, #1) by Scott Lynch ! Hope you enjoy it Kritika.

At the moment I'm reading some aussie YA The Last Girl by Michael Adams not sure what to think yet.

I finished Pivot Point (Pivot Point, #1) by Kasie West and ended up LOVING it! Everything came together in the most awesome way, I highly recommend this book :)
Now I'm reading Perfect Ruin (Internment Chronicles, #1) by Lauren DeStefano !

You'll have to let us know if Perfect Ruin is good. I've had it on my kindle since it came out but haven't gotten around to it yet.

Hmm well, I'm hoping it gets better. After I was immediately sucked into Pivot Point, the beginning of Perfect Ruin has been really disappointing. I keep zoning out and having to re-read parts. Just seems like a bunch of already-done dystopian elements patched together haphazardly. So far there's no real hook and I'm a bit bored. Unlike Wither, which I really enjoyed (despite its worldbuilding flaws), I'm struggling through Perfect Ruin :(

Jenny (juliababyjen) | 12932 comments Mod
Aw, man! That sucks. It could be just the comparison to Pivot Point, its hard when you finish a book you really like, the next book sometimes suffers by comparison!

message 6190: by Cindee (new)

Cindee | 331 comments just started reading The Declaration by Gemma Malley. finished reading the killables by this author too which was pretty decent. In The Declaration, in the future people are not allowed to have children and if they do they're banned, and if the children are caught they are raised to be slaves in some way, its pretty interesting.

I read that series a while ago and enjoyed it. It was one of my first series after reading The Hunger Games and discovering Goodreads. :)

Sherrie | 1212 comments I'm reading Star Cursed (The Cahill Witch Chronicles, #2) by Jessica Spotswood The Bird Skinner by Alice Greenway and listening to Whistling Past the Graveyard by Susan Crandall on audio CD. All the books are excellent. I like Star Cursed even better than the first book in the Cahill Witches series.

Jen (jenwesner) | 1222 comments Started Independent Study (The Testing, #2) by Joelle Charbonneau last night for the buddy read. I had already started Angel (Angel, #1) by L.A. Weatherly and had thought I'd put it away - but it's too good! (both audio, of course). So I'm doing Angel by day and Independent Study at night. Plus the two ebooks, one I'm reviewing and one beta read. Good think I'm packing boxes for the girls cause I can have my earbuds in as I do it. They're moving tomorrow and I'm helping because as we all know, I don't move enough . . .

LOL Jen! You move way too much!! Thanks for joining in the buddy read, its really not a buddy read without you :)


message 6200: by Donna (new)

Donna (donanicole) | 897 comments I am fascinated by the cult Scientology and have been reading books by people who have "blown" the organization and told their stories. This one is especially fascinating, includes information about the church and celebrities. Going Clear Scientology, Hollywood, and the Prison of Belief by Lawrence Wright There are people raised in this religion with no education, no jobskills and are so invested in it they feel they cannot leave. Their families and friends are in the church too and if they leave they will be disconnected completely from them. Amazing how rational people get into the cult. I will be back to Enders (Starters, #2) by Lissa Price very soon.
