Finished my reread of Demon Evolution (The Evolution Trilogy, #2) by David Estes loved it! And I just realized I never did write a review for it, better get on that!

I also started and finished Rebel Wing (Rebel Wing #1) by Tracy Banghart today! I really liked this one. I read it all in one sitting! Here's my review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Next I'm reading Paper Towns by John Green

Nancy, you always read the books that I find the most interesting. I love apocalyptic books! I just bought this one! ;-D If you are reading it, I usually know it's something I need to read!

Tommy Hancock (tommyhancock) | 957 comments Finished Charlie Bone and the Invisible Boy (The Children of the Red King, #3) by Jenny Nimmo a couple days ago. I really liked it. Favorite book in the series so far(only 3 in, ut, I believe, 8).

Up next. Necromancing the Stone (Necromancer, #2) by Lish McBride

message 14526: by Lauren (new)

Lauren Stoolfire | 2047 comments Conversion by Katherine Howe - I'm listening to the audio book. It's alright but I don't care for the characters all that much but I would still like to know what will happen.

Biggest Flirts (Superlatives, #1) by Jennifer Echols - Not my usual kind of read, but I have been hearing quite a bit about the series lately and thought I would check it out. I really can't stand Tia. I'm about a third of the way into it and there seems to be no sign of her being anything other than an irresponsible drunken flake.

Tracy Banghart (tracythewriter) | 13 comments I just finished They Call Me Alexandra Gastone by T.A. Maclagan which was fun, though it had a little less action than I was expecting for a spy novel. Still, it was a good read. Now I'm on to The Martian by Andy Weir for my hard copy book and Slip (Slip, #1) by David Estes for my ebook! Heard GREAT things about both so I'm excited!

I'm nearly finished, Karen. It's okay, very different from any other Howey book I've read. Wasn't a huge fan of the beginning, but I get why it was needed to set up the rest of the book. It's a...I'm not sure how else to say this...simple book, which is refreshing in some ways, but also a let down when compared to some of his other works. Really quick read though, so worth a shot!

I really like him. He's quickly turned into one of my favourite characters of all time. But I think I was concerned with the grand reveal because (view spoiler)
