I've started reading my PIFM book Swan Song by Robert McCammon in bits and pieces. It's one of those books that is perfect for my exhausted brain right now. ;)

Alison Morquecho (thebookishcamper) | 787 comments I actually really liked the 5th wave but had no idea Bout the monstrumologist. Only heard it through this group, and kept seeing sick great things about it especially from David and Jenny :) thanks guys!!! But it is brilliant. I feel completely connected to that characters y'all. Like in the prologue of the Isle of blood, I was ready eyed through the whole thing. Will Henry is seriously the best!!! Can't say enough how much I love this series!!!

Yay Karen! It is a full cast audiobook which can take some getting used to if you are used to only one narrator but it is worth it :)

David was one of the people who did not like Fifth Wave all that much so my persistence must have paid off. Yay!

The Fifth Wave really confused me. I didn't love it all that much. I feel like I'm in the minority though.

Andrea (alexandra14) | 218 comments I'm reading Andrea and the 5Day Challenge (Aubrey Christian Academy) by Cindy K. Green
And still reading This Years Love by Kristen Forever I think this one will be a DNF for me :/


message 11764: by Andrea (new)

Andrea (arainewriter) | 5 comments I'm reading a few books, but I am most actively reading the following: Lost Innocence by Simon Palmer and On the Road by Jack Kerouac . So, I am catching up on the classics, as well as supporting new indie authors. I have a stack of books on my night table, as I'm sure the rest of you do, too!

It did! For me The 5th Wave was just okay, but I think it was largely because of how high my expectations were due to all the hype. Then I read it and was like, "That's it?" Whereas I didn't know what to expect from The Monstrumologist and was BLOWN AWAY :) I appreciate you pushingencouraging me to read it!

I wasn't a big fan of The 5th Wave, either, and I also feel in the minority. Not really sure why, it just fell kind of flat for me. I am going to try the sequel, though, I hear its good!

Tommy Hancock (tommyhancock) | 957 comments I finished How to Train Your Dragon (How to Train Your Dragon, #1) by Cressida Cowell this morning. A quick, fun, solid read.

I'll probably take the weekend off from reading to get some outlining done before getting to the library on Monday.

For me, The Elite was frustrating to read but in the end I did enjoy it but don't force yourself.

Yes I agree. I had a lot of mixed feelings about The Elite. There were certain scenes that I adored though.

Andrea (alexandra14) | 218 comments @michelle. Yeah I won't force it. That's why I don't have a lot of expectations for this one.
@heather. I had mixed feelings in The Selection, I did like it but there where a lot of things I hated at the same time


message 11780: by Storm (new)

Storm Arashi (stormarashi) | 1130 comments The Selection had some irritation for sure but it was worth it in the end. Personally I still feel the first book was the best in the series.

Victoria Zigler (toriz) | 4472 comments I finnished my ARC of The Harvest and really enjoyed it. It's not one for those with weak stomaches, but if you can handle the content, then it's worth the read; as is the previous book in the series.

Now I'm reading Wondering, the Way is Made, which is by the author who's currently author of the month on a Smashwords authors group I'm a member of here on Goodreads.

Jenny (juliababyjen) | 12932 comments Mod
I have only read the Selection, still need to finish that series! I mostly enjoyed it, although there were some things that really annoyed me!

Finished reading Dearest (Woodcutter Sisters, #3) by Alethea Kontis and this one is my fave of the series so far! I LOVE this fairy tale retelling series! I love how the author mishmashes so many different fairy tales in one story. This one was mostly the Princess and the Swan, but also a little of the Goose Girl, and even Peter Pan! They are just so fun :)

Next up is Take Me On (Pushing the Limits, #4) by Katie McGarry

That's so cool! Congrats!! I met R.L. Stine last year at the Tucson book festival. Granddaughter brought all her books from home plus the ones we bought there. He was so gracious to sign them all!!

WOW that's awesome! I was a huge fan of R.L. Stine when I was younger, about middle school age. I had read them all!

Nice! Stine's books(particularly Goosebumps) are what made me decide to give non-comic books a chance when I was younger. I R Jelly.

Thanks! That's very cool, Karen!

I pretty much read anything he wrote - around the time I would have been in middle school. I loved Goosebumps and Fear Street so much. :)
