Wow! Some really great input. All relevant and different. I really want to try the Book Thief, but after Joy Luck Club need something with more of the fantasy aspect. I'll read them all for sure. You guys have convinced me that they're all worth listening to. Well all but Panic. I was hesitant about that one and haven't hear any feedback on that one.

A lot of action, and the concept is pretty cool - like the hunger games but you're playing for money (sixty-seven grand I think) and it takes place in a modern day setting. Entertaining, quick, fun and kind of intense in some parts :)
Hope that helps :D

I hear you on wanting something different for your next read! I usually try to mix it up too. I try to read light if I've been reading dark or heavy and visa versa.

Same. I'm on a waiting list to hold it. Just hoping my hold syncs with my next visit because the library is a bit out of the way.
Soon-ish though, for sure. There were only 5 people ahead of me on the list and the library has 3 copies.
Dang it, my elibrary sucked
back. I think I need to break down and just buy it! I still have a GC from my birthday 2 months ago. I hid it from myself. ;) I don't think I can wait for it to become available again.

I'm on chapter ten of Delirium and I just love it. Love that it's not really instant love, but so far more so paranoia of falling in love.

How long are your checkout times?? I get my ebooks for 2 weeks. It really sucks when you don't finish in time!

Haven't read anything this weekend. Been bogged down with school, and I also am on a book hangover after
. Hope to start something this week.

reminded me a LOT of the first Unwind book (and I say that with as much love for both)

Jealous. I need to read Sapphire Blue!
I finished reading
and really loved it! 6 stories were 5 stars, 4 were 4 stars, and 2 were 3 stars. The ones by Kelly Link and David Levithan I just didn't connect with. But overall, this was a fun anthology!
Also finished
and I LOVED this story! Its described as a cross between Dr. Who and Sherlock Holmes, and I think that's a good description! It has a nice blend of kooky adventure with chilling mystery, and AMAZING characters! And lots of fun LOL moments too! Its one of my fave this year!
Next going to start
