I finished
and really enjoyed it!
Now reading
which I was really looking forward to, but am not enjoying as much as I hoped. The writing is less than stellar IMO.

Loved this series Tommy Vampire Academy!! =)
Now I'm reading The Awakening by Kate Chopin for school.........ughhhh It literally says on the back it's about marital infidelity and a girl's sexual awakening. WHY IS THIS CONSIDERED CLASSIC

WHY IS THIS CONSIDERED CLASSIC"That's one of my least favorite books I had to read for class. I read it my first semester of college and my professor went on and on about how important it was but I hated the main character and I felt like the book was sending really mixed messages.

I'm in the majority haha. I loved it. The sequels I could take or leave, though."
Yep, I'm with you. I loved the first book was a little let down by the sequels :(

Finished
! This was an INCREDIBLE ending to an AWESOME series, so satisfied!!
Now starting
. I'm trying to keep my expectations low based on the reviews and the sequel, which wasn't nearly as good as the first book. But I'm still excited!

I just read
and it was fantastic!I guess you could say this is a pre-quell to
which I had read last year. Even though I had read this book first, I was on the edge of my seat reading
I think these books are considered YA. Also apocalypse and dystopian if you area fan of the genre then these are worth checking out!
So I finished
a few days ago, and I finally wrote the review (with some minor spoilers).If you want, take a look!

I've just finished
I am currently reading
], Jenny recommended the series to me and I love it!I've also just purchased
, hopefully a good read, I've heard some good reviews
I've been in a reading slump these last couple of days. I think I may have a book hangover after reading a certain amazing author's *cough*David!*cough* latest book. :) I can't seem to settle on my next book to read.

I am reading the maze runner seriers. just finished book 2. jeeze this poor guy!! I feel like its a never ending horror story for him. when will it end??? very intense books!! keeping me on my toes!!
If you're a teenager, try reading this book: Snap! and the Alter Ego Dimension|18726567] and discuss it with me.
Reading Call the Shots, the final book in the Swim the Fly series by Don Calame.Hardly anyone knows about this series, but if you are a guy looking for a light and hilarious read, I highly recommend this series. It won't let you down.
