Karen, Swan Song is a good listen. It has been so long since I read it it's like a new book.

I'm 100 pages in and I'm really enjoying it so far.
Finished Saint Anything by Sarah Dessen. I wasn't impressed. Oh well, onward and upward. Next up is Vengeance Road by Erin Bowman. I'm super excited to dive into this book!

I just discovered Swan Song this past year. Where has it been all of my life???

I'm STILL working on
! I don't know why it's taking me SOOOOO long!
I also started my reread of
for Rose's Muggles readalong!! I picked it up late late late last night and I should not have done that. I had to slap my hand to make myself put it down so I could go to sleep. Rose, watch out... If I can't control myself, I may end up binge reading them all instead of reading them WITH the group. Hahaahh!! I will do my absolute best to drag them out! ;)

Although I have so much I want to read and finish I have decided to do the HP read a long!!! How can I resist HP reread!!! I can't! Woot woot!!
Karen and David:I'm really enjoying Scorpio Races, though not sure at this point if it will be one I absolutely love.
I finished
yesterday and, man, I loved it. It's borderline criminal that there are only two of these books.Up next,
Finished
literally five minutes ago and now I'm just curled up in a ball of emotion and tears.... I have no idea what I'm reading next

I finnished The Scorpio Races not long ago. I thought it was a great read, but didn't love it like many others seem to have done. I'm not sure why... There's nothing wrong with it, and I did enjoy it... It just didn't push my "this book is awesome" button, I guess.Anyway, I'm now about to read The Professor, since I've been meaning to, and it's one of the books of the month on another Goodreads group I'm on.
OK guys, I think I am gonna put a hold on flesh and bone. I love the series but for some reason it is slow going. Not sure y. I'm scared to stop reading and not start back up but I don't think that will happen. :( I feel like I'm betraying the book lol

@Alison I've been putting off starting Flesh and Bone. It took me awhile to get through Dust and Decay too though (AND THAT END?! I'm still distraught and it's been MONTHS since I read it)

Victoria wrote: "I finnished The Scorpio Races not long ago. I thought it was a great read, but didn't love it like many others seem to have done. I'm not sure why... There's nothing wrong with it..."Scorpio races for me was just a solid read through most of the books but--and note, this is 100% subjective--it had one of the best endings I've ever read.
I just read
, a new release YA romance that deserves all the hype it's getting. Here's my review:https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

I think our views on the book are nearly identical haha. Until the ending, there wasn't any part of the book I loved or hated, it was just a solid 3-star read. i tacked on one more star in my rating for the ending though haha.
I'm changing my books around a bit so I'm not sure what I'm still reading and what I might put down.
and then I have these two on hold for BRs':

Yeah, sounds like our views are the same, since I did the same thing, LOL!
I tried Scorpio Races but just wasn't for me. I was disappointed about that though since it sounds so good. :(
Tommy wrote: "Victoria wrote: "I finnished The Scorpio Races not long ago. I thought it was a great read, but didn't love it like many others seem to have done. I'm not sure why... There's noth..."I agree too. I thought it was only 3 stars until the ending saved it somewhat for me.
I tried and failed to finish
. It just didn't hold my interest because I found it too predictable and similar to other YA reads, especially The Selection. I'm sure others will like it more than I did though!

I'm reading
for a Muggles read-a-long I'm hosting and I'm loving the re-read so much! I'm on Chapter 7!I'm also reading
and then onto Heir of Fire and Queen of Shadows!
@David - I was not a fan of Red Queen either. I was expected to like it because there was so much hype about it but I was completely unimpressed. I won't continue the series. I just didn't care.
@David I liked it a lot but also found it similar to another book, Shadow and Bone. I gave it five stars after finishing but I've been considering lowering it to four stars for awhile now.
I just finished
and MY FEELS. MYYYYY FEEEEEELS. I'm going to hug this book for a few more minutes and try to compose myself enough to write a review for it.
