   Daniel's convinced me, sometime this month (I have the books for 21 days through my library) I will be reading Books 1 and 2 in the Percy Jackson series.

Tessa's reading this series for the first time and loving it! She's on the second book now I think :)

Not sure what to expect here.

I put Wicked down for the night and instead of picking up one of the other books I wrote for two hours before bed. This whole writing thing REALLY throws a wrench into my reading plans lol

I am going to be rereading the Wicked series this year. I've read the first 3, still need to read the last book, and I really want to finish it this year! Although I may skip rereading the 3rd book, I didn't like it nearly as much and I think I still remember enough I'll be okay.

Don't expect much from book 1, but books 2 and 3 are beyond fantastic! Book 1 is actually the least "fantasy" though so you may enjoy it.
 OK guys I'm more then half way through the curse of the wendigo and I am in love with this series. This is def a series like chaos walking, isn't in the spotlight of ya books but def should be. The writing is sooo good, and the characters are amazing! And it's one of those reads, like chase walking that u don't have to rush through because u gotta know what comes next. I mean I was a know what happens next but I am happy staying in what's happening at the moment. If that makes sense :)

     So I have noticed in my 2 years of reading ya that atleast 4 series has mentioned sisyphus and the rock. I think that is so cool.

I used to love high fantasy (The Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones, Sword of Shannara, etc.) but my interest has waned these past few years. I started Throne of Glass but didn't finish, thinking I'd try again at some other time. But I do have it on my PIFM list.
I have held off reading for the same reason. I got Graceling as one of my PIFM books so I no longer have any excuses. I'm sure I'll enjoy it. ;)

Everyone I know is telling me that I MUST read it and that I'll love it! So I'm very excited that I've committed to reading it in the next 2 months! :)

 I agree with Rose. The Throne of Glass series has become one of my favorites! Hope you like it, Daniel.

I don't really keep up with it, but I'd heard so much about it that I knew I would have to check it out. Definitely worth it!
 @Jenny I'm not too far into it yet, but I'm already hooked! I feel so bad for Cress, I'm dying to know more about Thorne, rooting for Cinder, and loving the cuteness between Scarlet and Wolf! :D

Oh, good idea Heidi! I seem to do better with fantasy on audio! I just put it on hold!!
I just finished my reread of and I should know better than to listen to the end while in a public place. I put it on pause and then finished in the car which is just as bad as you can't really see while wiping tears away and I was driving. Soooo good though!!

I plan on trying 5th Wave at some point. Monstrumologist is waaaay up on the TBR list, though. My next library trip I'm using strictly to finish series, but the one after that I'll probably pick up all 4 books.
