I am having such a hard time finding something to read that grabs me. I am getting spoiled with good books. So now I am reading The Camp
by Greg Hair. It grabbed me right away. I am so fascinating by anything WWII concerning the tragedy of the holocaust. So far I am liking it.

I am still having trouble finding a book that grabs me. The Camp grabbed hold at first but the dialogue seemed unrealistic so stopped reading. Went back to
because I did love Season One. Also trying to get into
because LOVE Rachel Higginson's
and read a review here saying The Rush is hard to get into but worth hanging in. So I am hanging in fora while longer.
Finished
last night. The trilogy was better than I would've expected based on the, frankly, cheesy title(The Goth and the Ghost) and covers, but it was nothing special. I don't regret reading it, but won't reread it either and can't recommend unless I know it meshes with someone's taste perfectly.Starting
tonight. I have no clue why it took me this long to read this book.
just started
. so far its ok. it's just to much information. the main characters takes for ever to get to the point. he tells like a flashback to get to what he means. But its a standalone so I guess there will be a lot to read and understand.

YESSSS I'm glad you're loving them, David! They're so amazing! I think that one was my favorite. And it was also the one that scared me the most ... Don't read it while eating or right before going to sleep, lol.

Ha! I did make the mistake of reading the first one while having lunch one time LOL

I just finished reading the series
I did enjoy the series, but the third book was disappointing. It was mostly description of a war that Jaron was fighting, and I really found that I was missing the cheeky character I had grown to love in book 1 and 2. Of course I would be disappointed in book 3, I usually am. Then I went on to
I adored this book. It was like a story a grown up would tell a child in bed. I just loved it! And cried of course. Great book. And now Im reading
Im enjoying it so far. However, for the first part of the book I thought the main character was a little girl, not a boy. Then a few chapters in I realize it's a boy, I hate when that happens lol. All of these books that I've read I've gotten from this post. You guys always recommend the best books!

But I'm beyond broke right now and they aren't at my library :(
My E-library has come through on several books that I've asked them to purchase!! It just takes patience! :)

Well, I just moved recently and have only been to this new library as a card carrier once, so I haven't asked. But I want to read them enough that I may have to go ahead and ask before I got in again next month.
I finished
this morning. It was enjoyable, but I really wish I could've read it when I was about 12, or at least before seeing the movie.I think I'm gonna start
tonight. Not 100% sure what it's about, but hey, it's in front of me and has a cool cover so I'll give it a shot.
I LOVED The Raven Boys, although it is quite different. I fell in love with the characters! Need to read the sequel. I think the third book is coming out soon, too!
Nice, picked up the first two books just in time then :) I just read the synopsis and prologue and it does sound really interesting.

Read the first chapter, and omg this is so interesting. It's already got its hooks into me!

Nice. :) I have my first Neil Gaiman book, [bookcover:The Graveyard Book|2213661], it sounds really interesting, but like you, I wish I'd read this book as a child. Or at least a preteen. I'm looking forward to eventually reading it though.
I finally read
a year or so ago. I got it for my granddaughter but ended up reading it too. I haven't read
yet though.

Karen, I will vouch for these books until the end of time. They are so special, and so unique. Simply exquisite, phenomenal books. I am literally dying for Blue Lily, Lily Blue. I hope you enjoy the next two, I'm sure you will. I sure enjoyed the two which are currently out. They are among my all time favorites!
