What are you reading right now?
FINALLY finished:
It took me like two weeks––but actually, I really liked it! It is a little slow-paced and I think some of it could've been cut. Some things about it were also a little confusing to me, although it made more sense as it went along. But anyway, I liked the writing, I liked the characters and I actually liked the romance a lot (which is something pretty rare for me, haha). So yeah, it was good! :)
Now I am starting:
For my buddy read with Jenny!!! :D

4 stars. This was not my fave Rick Riordan, but I still loved the book! It was a nice switch up to learn more about Norse Mythology, something a little different. I really liked the MC, Magnus, and his band of weirdo followers. The story wasn't as action packed as Percy Jackson, and didn't read quite as quick, but still a good read.

In the past few days, I read:pathfinder Legends - mummy's mask, chapter 2 Empty Graves by Cavan Scott
Adrianna's Surge (The Sanctum Series, #5) by Katrina Cope
The Vampire Prince (Cirque Du Freak, #6) by Darren Shan
Now I'm reading The Rose Society by Marie Lu, and Hunters of the Dusk by Darren Shan.
Jenny wrote: "Awesome! Its okay if you read ahead of me, I'll catch up later and we can discuss then :)"Sounds good!
Just finished Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo. Holy crap was that a great read. I absolutely loved it. So much so that I've decided to give the Grisha Trilogy another go. (Long story, bad blood with Shadow and Bone. But I'm eager to put that behind me after almost 3 years) Now I'm getting ready to start Wake of Vultures by Lila Bowen (aka Delilah S Dawson). I actually went down to Georgia for the release party of this book so I'm super stoked to read it.

I finished
and although I really enjoyed the story, I was disappointed in the ending.
Right now reading
but I'm having trouble getting into it. I love these characters, so I don't know why.

Awesome! Love the Lunar Chronicles. I think I may want to reread them when I get to Winter, which I will be buying next week!!

@Jenny I was planning on reading Cinder, Scarlet, Cress and Fairest before next Tuesday but I was pretty busy this week but I some time now to read them all so I can read Winter soon after it is released. :)
I'm still working on A Darker Shade of Magic but it just isn't pulling me in like I hoped it would. I'm debating on starting another side book haha.
Michelle wrote: "I'm about to start Cinder. :)"I love that series so much. You're in for a good one. Cinder was my least favorite in the series so far and it was still 5 stars for me.
Yessss I love Lunar Chronicles so much! And I agree with Tommy––they just get better and better. I think I gave the first book 4 stars, but books two and three were both 5 stars for me! Can't wait for the fourth one. :)
I have only heard good things about the Lunar Chronicles so I'm excited keep going through the series. I have been careful about spoilers. ;)

Last night I finished
Pretty much right after I posted, I started reading and magically got into it, and finished it pretty quickly! I guess I just needed to complain first LOL!
Also finished my nonfiction read I was reading,
I LOVED this book! Some pretty creepy stories and places around the world! And I have a thing for maps :)
I'm hoping to finish my reread of
today, and I'm starting

That's hilarious, Tommy, and to be kind of honest, the thought did cross my mind. I'm holding back an X for that same reason!!

For me either...I'm in the middle of nearly 70 series. It's ridiculous. :/

I counted mine the other day...133 series!!! WHAT??? There are some that haven't all released yet, though...but that's ridiculous!! No wonder I have to keep rereading all my books when the last book of a series comes out and I want to finish it! Its amazing I can remember anything!
One of my big goals next year is to finish up some of those series!

Holy schnikes you guys!! I'm pretty good about finishing up series that I intend to read. I have lots that I either don't want to finish or am unsure.
I've been trying to get caught up on/finish series this year too. I used to finish them quickly but the more books I accumulated the harder it was to stay caught up lol!
My problem is there were so many new series that started this year that I wanted to read! So I've read the first book, but now have to wait for the rest!

Holy Snikes! That is a lot of series.
I thought my amount was bad - glad there's others who feel my pain and then some LOL.I have a bunch that I am going to have to reread from the beginning...like Anita Blake and Southern Vampire Mystery - it's been too long since I've read one of them :( I'm struggling with Blood of Olympus right now because it's been over a year since I read book 4.

I am so behind on Harry Potter. I'll pick it up when I feel like it. I just haven't been feeling it lately. Gonna try to read something tonight just not sure. CURSE YOU READING SLUMPS.

Well I managed to just plow through one.
It's been mocking me every time I try to pick it up since I got it last Christmas and I am SO happy I finally picked it up a few hours ago. ... I was going to go to sleep... I looked at it and just decided: "I'll try. A few chapters should be good enough."
Wound up finishing it.

@Storm I'm so behind on Harry Potter too! I'm only on Goblet of Fire and 50 pages in (hangs head in shame). I'm so hooked into Shadow and Bone right now and Red Queen!
And me I just wanna get some of these freaking books finished before I get more at Christmastime. XD; Just feels like I'm buried by my TBR somedays.
Finished
