LOL :) The good thing is that it's a very small part of the actual plot, which is really good.

Yesterday I finished:
I liked it a bit more towards the end, but over all I wasn't in love with it.
Today I started:
I've only read like 50 pages but it's exciting so far! I do feel like it's similar to a lot of other dystopias I've read, and also I'm not a huge fan of the dual first-person pov, but I'm hoping it's at least a fun read.
I'm reading a bunch of books right now. Still reading Heir of Fire and started reading Slip, which I'm not sure how I feel about it's a little confusing right now. I also have The Girl in the Leaves to finish as well.
Finished
earlier today. I really liked it but I wasn't quite as pulled in as I was by the first two.Up next,
@Brigid YES! I was hoping it would be like The Monstrumologist too and was disappointed that it wasn't.

Yep same - and I just did a video about loaning books to others and it was this book!
I have a question for people who have read the Benny Imura books, particularly Flesh and Bone. It's not much a spoiler at all, it's nothing to do with plot, but I'll put it in a spoiler tag anyway just to be safe.(view spoiler)

Thanks! I am so far!
4 starsenjoying a reread of
in preparation for the final book next month -- not sure if I'll get to Scarlet and Cress in between, but that's okay.
Ashley, I've been thinking I should probably re-read all the Lunar Chronicles before the last book comes out! But I don't think I will actually have time, lol. :P Anyway, I finished:
I liked the first half or so, but didn't like the second half of it. So, over all it was just okay for me.
Started:
B, the audio has taken me two days and it's narrated very well if you want to try it. I think I gave Ember 2-2.5 stars.
Good to know! I don't usually listen to audio books but maybe I will give it a try. :) I also gave Ember 2 stars––seems to be a very polarizing book. As soon as I added it to my to-read list I got a bunch of comments that ranged from "omg yes it's amazing" to "don't read it ever! it's horrible!" lol. :D
