I've only read the first two books in the newer PJ series, for the same reason, Alison. I want to read the rest all at once!

I loved the Titan's Curse. Hope you like the next one as much!!!

The Mark of Athena (The Heroes of Olympus, #3) by Rick Riordan is sooo good. Definitely the best one in the series so far. I'm almost 80% through, and things are getting really intense.

I finished reading City of Heavenly Fire (The Mortal Instruments, #6) by Cassandra Clare today, and while the first half of the book was harder to get into, the last half more than made up for that! The ending was epic, I loved the final showdown. Things are also set up for the next series with new characters. For those who have read The Infernal Devices and loved it, you will want to read the conclusion! (view spoiler)

Tommy Hancock (tommyhancock) | 957 comments Just started Rebels City of Indra The Story of Lex and Livia by Kendall Jenner by the youngest two gals on Keeping Up with the Kardashians. My hopes are low, but when I saw a giveaway for it, I was too curious not to enter and, bam, I won.

Let's see how this goes.

Urm, good luck. It's got a dismal rating on Goodreads. lol

Haha. Thanks. I honestly don't look at ratings much, and if anything, the negative ones sell me more than the positives sometimes.
The story seems an interesting enough idea, but the writing is already a bit clunky early on.
Should be entertaining if nothing else, even if for the wrong reasons haha.

Once you start Harry, you don't stop. So keep that in mind.
If I Stay sounds really interesting too- I can relate because I play the cello. lol
A lot of group members have been heaping praise on Code Name Verity... so... you really can't go wrong. lol

I'm listening to Throne of Glass (Throne of Glass, #1) by Sarah J. Maas now. I had started reading the book a year ago but just wasn't feeling it, so thought I'd try it on audio this time and it's sticking this time around. ;)

And I loved Under the Dome by Stephen King and yes it is a long book and hard to hold up!!
