I HATE buying e-books because the price can be close to or just as much as an actual copy sometimes!

I used to be obsessed with finding decent freebies lol! The most I ever paid for one was I think $10 or $11 but it was newly released and I couldn't wait to buy an actual copy! It was a Rick Riordan book, of course! :D

I usually buy the ebooks on sale for no more than $2.99. But if I'm binge reading a series, and the last one or two is $4.99 I'll pay it. ;)
If they're $9.99 or more, I can usually find them in my elibrary. And if it's a book I really must have, I'll pay the hardcover price instead of the $9.99.

Kids at school love Riordan.
I have too many books going right now! ;) The top 3 I'm reading are
on audio,
in hardback, and beta reading Rysa Walker's newest novella, Time's Mirror, which is releasing on June 30th!

@Daniel I have the whole HoO series in hardcover. Not because I prefer them to paperback, though they do look very nice together, but there was NO WAY I could wait for the paperback copies lol!

Just finished Crown of Midnight (Seriously, that was friggen incredible) by Sarah J MaasJumping right into the next book in the series, Heir of Fire
Just finished
Not my favorite series, but one that stands alone in a very unique way. I doubt I'll ever read another series too similar to this. Fantastic.Now I'm starting
I switched from audio to ebook for
It's really good but the narration feels slow.So since that left me needing an audiobook I started
and HOLY COW IT'S A TOTALLY DIFFERENT BOOK ON AUDIO! Julia Whelan and Will Damron are fabulous. Really enjoying it so far.
I've finally started City of Ashes. I've read City of Bones lots of times, so it's time to finally read book two :D

It just doesn't seem right. There are great deals out there on ebooks. My max is probably $9.99 but that's only for a book I'm dying for. Otherwise I usually don't go above 5$

Finished
today. I quite liked it, but not quite as much as I liked the other 3 books. Still, very good. I'm excited for Winter :)Tonight I'm gonna start

Are you enjoying it? I'm starting it soon."
I actually am. And you know me, I haven't been able to do fantasy that much lately. But this feels a bit roman historical, which I love, and definitely dystopian, and even Hunger Games ish. So really enjoying it even though it has some pretty dark themes in it.

Great book. Some readers had problems with connecting to the story, but I felt very engaged.
I'm alternating between
and
right now. All the Rage is super emotional and Rote and Ruin is pretty good.I'm also listening to
on audio book whenever I get the chance.
I finished
today. Bone is phenomenal. I don't know how I've been a comic reader all my life and never got to this series before now.Up next,

oooo! I've been wanting to read Anna Dressed in Blood, let me know how you like it Tommy!
Jenny - Congrats! Great choice too. LOVED the Elite.

"WOW, good job Jenny! I have The Selection and The Elite sitting on my shelf, I think I'm buddy reading them in August with a few friends. :)
Still working on
. I'm enjoying it but this is one of those series that is hard for me to get through quickly. I decided to start rereading
so I can FINALLY read Mortal Heart. I love this series. And I'm going to start buddy reading
tomorrow with David! :D
Harlee - Still on that one too. I love the series but the pacing does make it a bit of a beast to tackle at once. Your gonna love Undivided. BRING SOME TISSUES. You will need them!
I'll for sure come back and share thoughts on Anna.As far as Monstrumologist goes, I agree fully. Loved the series, but 3 of the 4 books took me a week or longer to finish. It didn't grip me the way a lot of books do, even books I don't enjoy as much. kind of odd, really haha.
Harlee - YOU MUST BE READY FOR THE FEELS. O__O IT IS YOUR DESTINY!Tommy - Yeah, it took me a bit to finish the first book, just... They are beasts of books. Great books, seriously great books just... Beasts.
Finnished the Percy Jackson series, and loved it.Now reading Annihilation (Star Wars: The Old Republic, #4).
