I absolutely LOVED The Bitter Kingdom. Now I have to figure out what I want to take with me on vacation. My kindle is LOADED, but I need a paperback for the plane. Hmmm...

So I just finished Nil by Lynne Matson and that is a really awesome book! I loved it. I didn't get anything done today because I kept thinking about it and finally said screw it and finished the thing anyway. Seriously sucked me right in. So good. Now I'm starting the Gemma Doyle trilogy. Book One is: A Great and Terrible Beauty by Libba Bray. I've heard great things. So I'm excited to read it.
I'm actually trying to finish a couple of books I promised myself I would read this summer, but I would say the two main books I am focusing on is Paper Towns and Cress
@Caitlin I heart the Gemma Doyle series. Still need to finish The Sweet Far Thing. But the first two books are great!

I picked up a book off my shelf (what a concept, read something I already own) -
- and it is a very interesting YA contemporary about racism in New England. I don't seem to want to pick it back up when I inevitably put it down - but once I do I'm grabbed again. Also listening to
and while I'm waffling on whether or not I really like it, I seem to be falling on the side of liking it. A lot.
So I was starting to read
and the Jenny said she read
and I had that one and got curious. So I said I'll just read a few pages and see what it's like. It grabbed me and wouldn't let go! When I wasn't reading it I could stop thinking about it! I loved it and have the next book. Now I'm struggling with the fact that I should get back to
but I'm also dying to read
!!! Ugh...the many problems of a book nerd. I always start series and then don't want to read anything else until I've finished the series :(

will be out and you can marathon the whole series! I've pre-ordered it on audio and in print - Amazon just emailed me and said I'd have it on release day. I can't wait! I'm going to marathon the whole thing on audio so I can be ready for it on 9-5-15

I'm kind of happy I waited awhile to read Under Different Stars, so I read the rest of the series pretty quickly!

. I wanted to love it, I really did. A superhero novel series for kids that Stan Lee helped put together, sprinkled with really, really good comic style art throughout. almost 200 pages in though and I was just bored the whole time :/I started
and am now a bit over halfway done with it. I am loving it WAY more than anticipated. Pleasant surprise for a book I picked up based strictly on thinking the cover was cool and having an interest in necromancy from video games I've played haha.
Haven't done a reading update in close to two weeks, so here's what I've read since my last update:
I'm currently reading Nikki Powergloves and the Power Giver on my Kindle, and listening to an audio copy of Black Magic Sanction. I'm half way through the Nikki Powergloves book, and about a third of the way through Black Magic Sanction.

How are you enjoying Black Magic Sanction? I've read a few of the Hollows books and really enjoyed them.
I'm currently reading a few books:
and have several others I'm planning to still read this month. >.<

I'm really loving it.
I've enjoyed all the Hollows books I've read so far... It's only taken me so long to get to reading this one because I started getting them on audio before I had a Kindle, so want to continue getting them that way, but they often end up being quite expensive to buy on audio, and sometimes also tricky to get hold of.

Ah cool cool. Well hope you enjoy! ^-^

I really enjoyed Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them. Though I gave myself a bit of a scare while reading about the Lethifold.
I also enjoyed Scarlet.

I'm re-reading Scarlet. I never really liked it as much as the other books but it's not bad. Just never really connected with Scarlet much. >.>

At the time, I had a clock that spoke on the hour, but only if enough light reached the sensor. I'd forgotten the kitchen light was on, and it spoke just as I finnished reading the passage, telling me it was one in the morning, and making me jump. My jumping made the dog - who was laying beside me - jump too, which made the blanket slide a bit on my legs.
When you reach that part of the book, you should understand why it scared me.

Thanks Karen!
@Catherine, it's actually really good if you don't compare it to Ready Player One. It had all the 80 references that I love so much!
I listened to it on audio and I have a huge crush on Wil Wheaton for some reason, so the experience of him as narrator was wonderful! ;)
