Okay, I'm swimming in books!!

Finished Bone Gap by Laura Ruby and it was SO GOOD!!! Karen, Jen, Tommy, and David you MUST read this! Heidi I think you would love this one too! Karen and Tommy, it reminded me a LOT of the Raven Boys, although completely different story. The characters in this one were so amazing, and nothing predictable happens throughout the entire story line!

Starting Ignite Me (Shatter Me, #3) by Tahereh Mafi and The Sound of Music Story How A Beguiling Young Novice, A Handsome Austrian Captain, and Ten Singing von Trapp Children Inspired the Most Beloved Film of All Time by Tom Santopietro

Listening to The Moon Dwellers (The Dwellers, #1) by David Estes and Rebel Belle (Rebel Belle, #1) by Rachel Hawkins on audio. I've discovered its the perfect thing to listen to while I'm working in my art studio! Entertains me without distracting me! Win!! Rebel Belle will be due back at the library soonish, so wanted to get started on it :)

Brittany McCann (brittanylmccann) | 105 comments Just finished reading Ohio 2029 Utopia Has Never Been So Wrong by D.A. Winstead which was a great read

Last night I started reading Drucker & Me How Peter Drucker and a Texas Entrepreneur Conspired to Change the World by Bob Buford which is great so far

Also reading for college: The Power of Myth by Joseph Campbell , Favorite Folktales from Around the World (Pantheon Fairy Tale and Folklore Library) by Jane Yolen , and Mythology by Edith Hamilton

I am reading Challenger Deep by Neal Shusterman and it is phenomenal. Very different, but an eye opening look at an extremely harsh and misunderstood mental illness. Beautifully written!

I'm definitely not giving up on it! it's just going to take some getting use to for sure. I did however fall asleep listening to Enclave (Razorland, #1) by Ann Aguirre .


message 13011: by Ashley Marie (new)

Ashley Marie I loved the narration for Aristotle & Dante!

Nice, I was exactly the same way haha. After Dream Thieves I decided I'm gonna read everything Mags has written. So far I've just got the 3 released Raven Cycle books and Scorpio Races, but I'll get to the rest haha.

I just finished it and liked it but was never 100% in love with it unfortunately. Still a solid read though.

kynndra-jo (charlietanghoe) I am currently reading Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn . Really like it so far.

Good to hear, Kynndra. I really liked Gone Girl so have been debating whether or not to read her other books.

Daniel (pickyreader1) | 1925 comments Just finished Aristotle and Dante, and I was surprised at how much I ended up liking it.
Didn't love the first half, but the second half was very moving and powerful.
Great read.

I've started The Heir (The Selection, #4) by Kiera Cass and it's a nice light fun read.

message 13033: by Heather (new)

Heather (hersecretsmile) | 290 comments I finished None of the Above by I.W. Gregorio yesterday which was fantastic and I would highly recommend it to everyone.

I have both The Job (Fox and O'Hare, #3) by Janet Evanovich and All the Bright Places by Jennifer Niven checked out from my library right now to read next. I'm going to focus on The Job first because it is definitely a lighter read, which I need, and I already started it.


message 13034: by Sophie (new)

Sophie | 13 comments I'm currently reading The Farm by Tom Rob Smith . It's quite odd - the story of a young guy torn making the choice between believing his mother is insane or his dad has committed a heinous crime. I'm finding it quite thought-provoking.

Tracy | 823 comments You guys got me stuck on The Monstrumologist (The Monstrumologist, #1) by Rick Yancey so I just finished The Curse of the Wendigo (The Monstrumologist, #2) by Rick Yancey and am about to start The Isle of Blood (The Monstrumologist, #3) by Rick Yancey . Really enjoying this series so far.


message 13039: by Tommy (new)

Tommy Hancock (tommyhancock) | 957 comments Finished The Monstrumologist (The Monstrumologist, #1) by Rick Yancey earlier today. Man, the 2nd half or so of that book was gold.

Up next I'll probably finish some comics before deciding between The Curse of the Wendigo (The Monstrumologist, #2) by Rick Yancey and Scarlet (The Lunar Chronicles, #2) by Marissa Meyer

Glad you liked it. I'm enthralled with it :) Tackling such a difficult subject in such a creative manner has left me speechless!
