I read a series to its end unless I gave the book a two-star or lower rating, and there are a couple of two-star series that I finish just for the heck of it. Cinder was very entertaining; I wasn't disappointed.

Same here. I'm not one for all the romantic mushy gushy type of thing, lol.
I blame my English teacher :p Currently deciding whether to plunge ahead, finish it ASAP and then take the quizzes so I don't have to worry but then my brain would be dead with boredom. I hate required reading... Dx
was on sale today on my nook. I checked kindle and it was $2.99 there too. Not sure if that's the normal price or a deal. I bought it even though I've listened to it on audio already. Now I want to experience the read!

Well know that you are not alone Sophia! The only YA romance I loved was Anna and the French Kiss. Otherwise I am usually rolling my eyes.

The only one I found better was Breathing Underwater. Maybe it's the boyfriend's POV and not the girl gushing all over the place T_T
But that's just my humble opinion.

Since we were discussing it not long ago...I thought I'd mention for those of you who don't get the Kindle daily deal e-mail that (probably due to the movie's release this weekend) the whole Beautiful Creatures series in on sale today for $2.99 each.
I like discussing books too! For example...I just finished Unravel Me and I seriously want to kill someone. Preferably, Juliette. And I can't really rave about why without majorly spoiling the book. Let's just say, I was not real happy with the turn of events.I'm almost 3/4 of the way through Days of Blood and Starlight and it is so amazing and it just keeps getting better and better.

I am super excited as one of the libraries in my "circuit" got the audiobook for Scarlet (I liked the narrator for Cinder and she also narrates Scarlet) so I put it on hold last night. Yay!!

On the flip side, I finished Days of Blood and Starlight and SQUEEEEEEEE!!! So flippin amazing! Just incredible. That woman can write like nobody's business. Loved it, loved it, loved it!
Now I'm getting into
and I am really enjoying it so far. It grabbed me right away and I can already tell that David's writing and storybuilding just gets better and stronger with each novel. I'm proud of you, man!

Finished Everneath, Grimly Jane and The Body of Christopher Creed this week. I'm currently reading Rotters, Velveteen and The Eyeball Collector.

Also read

I liked The Lovely Bones, both the book and the movie. Right now, I'm listening to Disney after Dark and reading Obsidian on my Kindle.
I liked them both, but that's just me. I saw the movie before I'd read the book. But, I would recommend you watching the movie anyway :)
I was not in love with Lovely Bones. I liked it to a point but thought it was too long and meandered too much. I skipped the movie because I did not hear good things.
