What are you reading right now?
I still need to finish Curse of the Wendigo, the mood just hasn't hit me yet to finish it.
I started this sucker last night thanks to that ending of, Of Poseidon... I think a power nap is needed before any reading is assumed again...Worth it but man...
I finished
last night, and while the first two books were excellent, this one won me over just a little more because of the way Yancey focused on certain relationships and how he made me flip flop on my opinions of certain characters.Up next
, a cape and tights story by an Emmy winning TV writer. Should be fun :)

I have not been able to read more than a few pages at a time these past few days. I'm soooo freaking distracted by EVERYTHING. Oh look, an email. Ding, someone commented on FB. Oh lookee.. Dog is breathing too hard. Hmmmm, I need a drink, oh wait.. SQUUIIRRRRLLLLL...
HAHAHA Karen!!
I didn't get any reading done today, was working on a million other little projects!

Yes I remember! Phew. So glad I was not alone! I like when I am not the only one who doesn't love something. :)

Yep, it's my favorite genre and I have read so many it is hard to find more really good ones but they are out there. I am loving this one. Oh, and the good thing is there are already many written in the series, don't have to wait for them to be written.

Well I'm reading rot and ruin which I hope to get to tonight, thought I was gonna finish last night but passed out :( so while I'm cleaning I'm gonna audio book an ember in the ashes, since I've heard such great stuff about I and since it is one of the book of the months, I think...

My physical bookshelf for the summer, in the order I want to read them in. The ones to the right on their side are already read. I have 8 more on my kobo as well.
Anyone read any of these and want to share thoughts or want to read them with me in the summer?
I really liked
, Daniel, and you already know how I feel about

Article 5 was ok. I still need to read book 3 in that series.
I haven't read any of the others, but anything by Patrick Ness should be good!

I'm quite excited to read More Than This- I loved the Chaos Walking series and know a few people who loved this one.
Note that two BOTMs are on the shelf! :) I might be late, but better late than never.
Just finished
and am blown away by how good it was. Wasn't ready for that at all, I got it as something light to break up my darker reads. It is, IMO, every bit as good as the Lunar Chronicle and Monstrumologist books I've been reading recently. Different, but equal in terms of how much I enjoyed. I doubt I'll convince many to check it out. Trust me, I almost passed on it. But if you do skip it, you're passing on what might very well end up being my favorite read of 2015.Up next, finishing off the Monstrumologist with
*excited*

Daniel wrote: "That book looks quite interesting, Tommy. Might check it out. Cover's childish, though. Hope that doesn't reflect the book inside."Not in the slightest. It's decidedly YA. I expected MG, but no. Not even kind of for kids younger than... I'd say 14 or so(adjust based on maturity of individual kid).
@daniel so far I love rot and ruin! And I really liked article 5, but it has been almost 2 years since I've read it. I like book 1 and 2 but I really need to read book 3. I'll prob reread the first 2 to freshen my min. There is just way too much i wanna read lol

Ha, Daniel, yes I did notice both BotMs were on there! Can't wait to hear your thoughts no matter WHEN you get to them! :)

Yes, I hope to get to them either this month or next.

I picked up
and really like it so far, Will Damron is narrating. Also reading as ebooks
They're both fluff and I'm really not that interested in them - Break Your Heart is from NetGalley, though, so I need to finish it for review.

Anyway, I looked through my library's website and was able to borrow it instead.
@ Daniel
is a really good page turner, but the beginnings are always slow in this book series. I hope this helps you out when it comes to your massive summer tbr pile.

Oh OK, awesome! Would you be okay to start on say...Thursday? I should be done with my current read by then. I'll set up a thread! YAY!

I just started King and have a huge pile of books from the library I got today. Plus, I have to read and annotate three books for school so I can teach them.

I got it from the library as well just as a filler book so I had no clue about the price. The book is fantastic, but that price... not so much haha.
