I started

@Skylee I had trouble connecting with the characters in Falling Kingdoms but I did finish it. I still liked it but definitely didn't love it.
I'm still reading The Ask and the Answer but randomly decided to start reading The Death Cure. Hoping I'm not too confused because it's been awhile since I read The Scorch Trials!

I finished that one,but did not like it. It is markeded as got for ya readers, and I dont like game game of thrones so it was kinda logical.

Right now I'm reading
and
. I tend to read one book in hard copy and one on my iPhone Kindle app and sort of switch back and forth depending on where I am. Both books are drawing me in, but I haven't had much time to read lately. :-/ Was reading back through this thread and it definitely sounds like I need to pick up The Court of Thorns and Roses. I admit, I wasn't a HUGE fan of Throne of Glass, but I liked it enough to read more from the author!
I'm trying to quickly (but still enjoy it) finish
to send to the next person on the send this book around thing from one of my reading groups.And I need to finish:
by Thursday as well

I'm really loving it which is why I'm trying ot to just sit down and read it all in one go. I never enoy books as much if I read them in one sitting. Even if I read them in a few hours but take breaks I get the time to absorb and think and enjoy it more. But i have a hard time pacing when I really love a book.
Just finished Alive by Scott Sigler. What an interesting book! They way it builds is fantastic.Now I'm starting The Darkest Part of the Forest by Holly Black.
Alive was such a unique reading experience, wasn't it Caitlin?!! Now I'm reading Jubilee Manor by Bethany Hagen.
I am listening to Alive on Sigler's podcast. It is read by a very good narrator I have heard before but cannot remember her name, so very sorry. Anyway, it is such a great experience to listen to it on his podcast and will continue to do so until it is complete. It is a very exciting story, yes?

Sure thing, Karen.

It's exciting so far, but there's not too much character development. Hopefully I get more of that.

I'm trying to remember but I think it was a bit lacking for me as well. It took me awhile to start liking Tella and even longer to start liking Guy lol.
I finished
last night, and while it sounded kind of interesting, I am surprised at how much I loved it. Very, very good. Most of you folks should read, but fans of The Monstrumologist series absolutely should.Up next,
, which I just know is superhero related and had Stan Lee's name on the cover.

@Tommy I've had that one on my TBR list forever! If it's like The Monstrumologist I'll definitely have to get to it soon.
So started reading The Heretic Queen. At first I thought it was going to be boring u know all those politics and history about ramesses and pharhoes N what not but then it started becoming interesting. Now I'm on a roll... I foresee it getting much better...
Just starting Angelfall by Susan Ee! I've been on a total fantasy binge for a long time and was starting to get in a slump due to too much fantasy so I stopped reading the two current books I was on and am picking up this dystopian! I'm hoping my Harry Potter read-a-long will bring me out of my slump; this starts September 1st for anyone who wants to join!

It's great! I know some people didn't enjoy it much but I loved it. I enjoyed the plot more than the prior book.
I am now reading
I'm loving the last Odd Thomas book :) And I'm also reading an advanced copy of
which is a really interesting read that I'm finding hard to put down despite the fact that there's not much action.

The relationship in it is similar. This one is a lot less horror and a lot more growing up, IMO. I think you'll absolutely love it, though.

@Tommy I'll definitely move it up my TBR. I still gotta read The Isle of Blood and The Final Descent first though haha :)

I've read just the first 3 Sweep books, Teresa, but I really liked them. I really need to finish that series!

I started reading Brew on my Kindle app because there's too much stuff in my bag for teaching to fit a non-electronic book in it and I already carry around my ipad. But I also just started An Ember in the Ashes.
I started reading AND listening to
but think I'll just listen to it. I have a huge crush on Wil Wheaton and love listening to him. I think the book is better on audio.
I'm reading
on my Nook.

Loving flesh and bone! Taking it slowly and I really like doing that with this series. I finished audiobookin divergent and absolutely loved it! And now I'm listening to insurgent. This is the second time reading it. And I absolutely love it. Hating that they didn't stick with this story line for the movie! And I am loving all these people again!!! The first time I read it I hated tris. She annoyed me because I thought she was such a lamo to four, but this go round I don't think it. I guess I'm not all wrapped up in four this time and I am really listening to the book :). It's just amazing!!

The author told me that he enjoyed writing
the most, Alison, because of Chong. ;)
And I just reread the Divergent trilogy too but in print. Tris annoyed me throughout. I just rewatched the movie Insurgent and I seriously wanted to punch her. Maybe she comes across better in the audios. Ha!

Wow, thanks so much! I bet your bag is full of teaching gear :)

@David pretty much. I have a pouch for pens and dry erase markers, lesson plan binder and a small binder with important documents in it, plus my wallet and lunch and stuff and my ipad. I got Brew when it was free for Kindle on Amazon and it sounded like it would be worth a try and everyone likes free stuff.

I've loved witch books ever since the show Charmed was on. And this one was done right. Some of them can be kind of hokey, but I liked Book of Shadows
