I hope I disagree with you on preferring Legend. I didn't love Legend but am excited for Young Elites. I'm not too put off though, since your review recommends it to fans of Harry Potter and X-men(two of my top five favorite things in the world)


EDIT* Whoops, misread you haha. Now I'm extra excited for YE.

That's how I've been, but the sickness and NyQuil are hurting my writing more than my reading(though neither are unharmed).

Victoria Zigler (toriz) | 4472 comments I've finally read the 14 Wheel Of Time books.

It was pretty good, but there are so many characters to keep track of that it got confusing sometimes; not helped by many names sounding similar, and several characters being known by a few different names.

Amber (YA Indulgences) (yaindulgences) | 143 comments I started The Lord of the Rings (The Lord of the Rings, #1-3) by J.R.R. Tolkien and I'll Give You the Sun by Jandy Nelson today.

Victoria Zigler (toriz) | 4472 comments I read this one this morning:
The Bell Tower Suite by James Field

I'm going to read these next:
Wolfsblood by Hazel B. West
Dangerous Associations by Rita Lee Chapman

I was meant to get both "Wolf's Blood" and "Dangerous Associations" read before Christmas, but I'm a bit behind on my reading schedule.

Thanks Karen :)

Still just as bad today, although I think my ears are slowly starting to drain! Doesn't help that I'm exhausted anyways, with all the festivies + work + running around like a crazy person! Got home late last night, went right to bed, had to get up 5 hours later for work, worked all day then went to my parents house then grocery shopping. Just got home at 8pm! So nice to relax for a bit :)

I finished David's Flip last night (beta read) and am still reeling with a major book hangover!

I'm currently reading another beta, New World Order (Sunset Rising, #3) by S.M. McEachern and hope to start The Young Elites (The Young Elites, #1) by Marie Lu by tomorrow since it's our December group read. ;) Hope I get it into December, plus I need the Y for my A - Z challenge which I have once again cut so close!
