What are you reading right now?

Kynndra, the more emotions a book can generate from me, the higher the rating. If I'm that INTO a book where I'm sobbing or laughing hysterically, THAT'S what I look for in a GREAT book!! And geez, David's bring out all of that ALL the time. ;)

If you guys are enjoying his Dweller and Country series, Slip is his best yet IMO!! :)

I couldn't have said it any better, Karen. David's writing brings out the ultimate emotional response one is supposed to get from a book. You feel every characters presence and when something bad happens, or good to them you feel it which is one of the best thing a book can give someone in my opinion.

I can only imagine what Slip will be like /violent wheezing/ I can't wait for June 16th!

Currently reading Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater. I wasn't sure about it when I started, but I am totally falling in love with Sam lol

I just finished
and it was excellent! I highly recommend it, especially the audiobook!I've also just put down
after giving it a shot - I couldn't get into it. Can someone explain why a fourth book was added to a trilogy?I'm currently listening to
which I'm absolutely loving! So far I'm going to say that if you enjoyed The Knife of Never Letting Go and The Hunger Games, you'll probably love this!

I finished it last night and I really want the next one! I think I'm a little obsessed with this series haha :)
@Harlee it's an addictive series that's for sure and it keeps getting better and better c:
It's so good so far- I already know what happens because I saw the movie, but it's still really good!
I just started Dare You To by Katie McGarry

best of all.
Just finished
and am surprised by how much I enjoyed it. Almost passed on it. REALLY glad I didn't(thanks for the folks who harped on about it).I think tonight I'll start
a book I got for R&R. Sounds pretty interesting.
I just finished The Lightning Thief (in one day), and I liked it a lot. The thing is, I saw the movie first, but it's so different from the book that I was confused sometimes while I was reading. I kept saying to myself, "hey, that's not how it happened in the movie!" But anyway, I enjoyed it. I'll review it soon, and start reading the next book.By the way, would anyone consider putting up a "What Book Have You Just Finished" thread? Because I feel awkward posting this on the currently reading thread.
