What are you reading right now?
I'm reading shades of earth (across the universe series) by Beth revis.. Absolutely love this series! Can't wait to see how it ends!
I am listening to Say What You Will
and finally started on my Year of David Estes challenge by returning to read Fire Country
, which I started on Kindle awhile back but stopped reading on my Kindle (sorry I love me some print books) so I am making a sincere effort to use my Kindle this year!
Ashes to Ashes by Jenny Han and Siobhan Vivian! Loved the first two and hope this one doesn't disappoint!

I loved the Testing series! Those are pretty popular books in this group :) Last April, we had the author, Joelle Charbonneau here for a Q&A! After you finish, here's the link if you want to read it!

I remember that one! I read that years ago. It seems like I sort of remember a movie that was made of that book. I liked it. :)"
I've read that one a while back, too, and liked it. I don't think I've seen the movie, but there was one.

Omigosh, I think I was up too early!! Lol. I'm actually reading Ruin and Rising, not Siege and Storm. (could be I'm turning 40 this year, shh... don't tell anyone... )

Ah, I Was Here? It's pretty good so far, I'm honestly only five pages into it, but so far I like it from what I know.

There was a point during last year when my to-read list was down below 2000. However, despite my having read about 25 books since then, it's somehow back up over 2100 again... *sigh*So many awesome books, so few hours in the day!
Karen - Bump it to the top. XD It's that good! Victoria - I had it narrowed to 99.... Then it jumped up. I just decided screw it. It gets longer it makes it easier for me to pick what I wanna read next.

So many awes..."
That's hilarious!! Ok, I'm not quite as bad. I keep my TBR list below 100. I get too panicked if it's over that. But for every couple of books that I read, I seem to add 3 more.

Wow! Ok, I will!

Mine is like yours, Victoria, absolutely ridiculous!!
I know I probably won't read all the books on my TBR in my lifetime (cuz I keep adding more!) but its a way for me to mark the books that look interesting, then I go from there.

Yay!
Storm: Good point... At least there's plenty to pick from!Karen: I can't keep mine even below 2000 by the look of it, so 100 isn't gonna happen any time soon! Although, at least close to half the books on my to-read list I do actually have ebook copies of, so that half of the stack can be justified by the fact they really are waiting for me to read them as soon as I can. When I'll get them all read I don't know, but at least I can honestly say I'm not short of reading materials, LOL! And that's my problem too... For every book I read, I swear I end up adding two new ones I want to read! Like I said, so many good books... *sigh* Sometimes I wish I had a time turner, just so I could have some extra reading hours in my day!
Jenny: That's why my list is so long; I just add any that look interesting. If I could stop adding books then I'd have a chance of getting them all read in my lifetime (probably take me about 10 years, I'd think) but authors keep writing awesome books, so I keep wanting to read them and adding them to my to-read list.
Finnished the Anne Hawksmoor books, now reading The Alien Chronicles, which I was given an advanced copy of in exchange for a review (I think the official release date is tomorrow, so I'm reading it today in hopes of finishing it either late tonight or some time tomorrow and being able to write my review as it's released).
Victoria - XD Your right about every time you finish more pop up. Every time I come on here and browse I find something I wanna read! But the good thing is the more I read, the more I write!

If you thought Throne of Glass was good, you are going to be BLOWN AWAY by Crown of Midnight. Absolutely amazing!!

I love the Cirque du Freak series. I've yet to read the Throne of Glass books. I should probably add those to the list.

I'll get a buddy read set up for us on Crown of Midnight! David's right, CoM is TWICE as good as ToG!

I finished
Oh the One was so good. It made me laugh and made me cry a little. Just such a nice ending to the first three books. Can't wait for the Heir.
