Haha, I'm not sure I have the time or the commitment to write a book- I do have a friend who is writing a novel, though, and I am fully supporting her!

Thanks so much Jenny! This is why I love writing reviews! Support makes me feel like I'm not wasting my time!
I tried the whole writing reviews thing and just totally sucked lol, and it was like hmm... think about what to write in my review and how to make it better or read... so reading won lol
i've been a giant ball of stress and lack of ability to read. I think I need to pick up a middle grade book and see if I can get through that. I just can't concentrate :(

May I suggest Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief? Fun little middle-grade book that fans of all ages enjoy.
I think I have that series in ebook form. I don't own it in hard copy. If not I will have to visit my bookshelves to see what middle grade books are waiting to be read.
I finished reading both
and
last night. Both about aliens, but both very different!
I definitely recommend the Taking, its a very quick read with a really cool ending. Solid 4 star read. Parts of if made me think of The Darkest Minds. The beginning was awesome, the middle was a little slower, but the last 100 pages--holy crap! It does have a big cliffhanger ending though, fair warning!

Jenny, I really want to read the The Taking. It sounds right up my alley! I just finished Shatter Me and am currently reading Panic by Lauren Oliver.
I just received an ARC of
through Netgalley which I was really excited about! So I'm reading that and I have just about 100 pages left in

I'm still reading Emperor of Thorns and I'm liking it, but I want to take a little break from it. I'm going to start Days of Blood and Starlight so I can jump in on the buddy read :)

Finished
which was pretty decent till the end. Booo....hate bad endings. The author said it's because she left it open to continue the story if she felt she wanted too, but tied it up enough so that if she didn't want to write anymore on it, it was good enough. It defiantly needs another book. But the author doesn't feel at this time she wants to write anymore about those characters.Im now reading
which is pretty decent so far. Im only on chapter 8, but it's caught my interest so far.

? I loved the whole Cousins War series, the last book is probably my least favorite, but still thought it was well done. I don't meet many people that enjoy the history novels from Gregory Philippa, but I find her books so amazing. After each book I find myself doing my own research on that time era.
OMG I am going to have to finish
tonight to figure out this mystery. I have a few ideas, we'll see if I'm right! This book is AWESOME, so intense!

Cindee, I do the same thing! I read the 5 books completely out of the order they were written, but can't wait until the next one comes out. I'm constantly jumping onto google to see pictures of everyone. I had no idea that one of Shakespeare's plays was about this era and this Richard the King! I just finished reading about Jaquetta and Margaret of Anjou. Absolutely fascinating!

WOW I finished
and it was....just WOW. I'm still trying to process. I guessed some of the mystery, not all of it. Amazing read!

Ok, I'm done
(finally) and quite disappointed.For those of you who haven't read it yet and want my perspective, I'll have my review up shortly and it will be spoiler free (as long as you've read the first two books).
I just finished Code Name Verity and don't know what to do with myself right now. It's going to be hard to read anything after that.

Yeah, last year. It was a great, probably one of my favorites I read that year. I hope you enjoy reading it! :)

Thanks I am 85 pages in! what book do you recommend reading after it?

Honestly I don't think I can recommend anything because I think it's all up to personal preference. The one thing I would recommend is staying away from another book that may make you emotional.
