What are you reading right now?
I think I am going to try Throne of Glass. Am reading book two of Kings and Sorcerers, RISE OF THE VALIANT. It is pretty easy reading and magical too.
Karen: I hope you're enjoying yourself.Tommy: I used to watch Yu-Gi-Oh! Haven't seen it on TV in ages though, and haven't gotten around to getting it on DVD yet. I also played the game, but had to stop when my sight got bad enough so I couldn't read the cards any more. Gave the cards to my brother, because he used to play a lot too, and was annoyed to learn he'd sold them (which I wouldn't have minded so much, except he let some rare ones I had go for literally a few pence, when some of them - like my full set of exodia cards - were worth a lot more). If I'd know they'd just get sold, I'd have sold them myself, and made some decent money out of them. He did the same thing with my Pokemon trading cards.

Yay!
Victoria - Yikes, sorry about your cards. That really sucks about losing the Exodia pieces.

I have a general rule to never speak against the family of people who I know online, as I do not know their family, but this comment makes me hope you slapped a brother at the very least haha.

Lucky for him, there were a few hundred miles between us when I found out. I yelled an awful lot though.
Donna wrote: "Lots of bad reviews for Throne of Glass. On important things."I really loved that book, love the whole series really. The more reviews a book gets the more likely it will have some bad ones mixed in. I think going by reviews is hard. I know I've read books people raved about and absolutely hated and then read books with iffy reviews that I just loved.
@Donna I don't usually read the reviews cause often times I find they are wrong. For example, The Selection series got really bad reviews but I loved them. I think it's all a matter of taste and opinion and every book should be given a shot.
Just finished Servants of the Storm by Delilah Dawson. It's a creepy, but entertaining, book. I really enjoyed the characters. This would be an excellent book to read in the fall :)Next up: HIT by Delilah Dawson. It's her newest book and I want to get one more of hers in before my writing conference Thursday.

@Lucy - Servants of the Storm is an eerie book with a pretty decent creepy factor to it. I guess I've always felt like those books are best enjoyed in the fall. The crisp air and cool days seems to add to the creep. :)
Storm wrote: "Then I hope his ear hurt for awhile from it."So do I! It should have, that's for sure.

It doesn't disappoint.

I've got a couple more of her books to read too... Planning to get to them soon.

Glad to hear it, and glad you're getting plenty of reading time in.

Even a very well written, well thought out and well informed review is nothing but an opinion. Not all opinions are equal, but they're all still just opinions. I wouldn't say I agree that EVERY book should be given a shot, as there's stuff that I am just thoroughly not interested in. If a synopsis interests me though, I'm probably gonna read the book.

Just finished reading
(the prequel novella) and
This was SO GOOD! A wonderful, knuckle biting, crazy thriller! LOVED it, even more than Monument 14! I def recommend it, if you like zombies/thrillers!
*side note* There aren't actual "zombies" in the story, they are all human...but they tend to start acting like zombies. I don't want to give it all away, but its FREAKY! ;)

The trilogy is on Amazon Kindle as a bundle for almost nothing. It cost me something like 49 pence, and would probably be about the same in cents, I would think.
Currently I'm reading
and I'm about 1/2 way or a little bit more done with it and I absolutely love it!
I finished

I think I'm finally becoming friends with audiobooks! I listened to this one in just two days and already started the next in the series.I'm also reading
