Jen (jenwesner) | 1222 comments Finishing up The Bitter Kingdom (Fire and Thorns, #3) by Rae Carson on audio. I may start The Rest of Us Just Live Here by Patrick Ness after that.
Still can't get enough time to finish my ARC but I'm over halfway, so if I could just sit and not be bothered by my life, I'd have it done! Also started East of Eden by John Steinbeck and I have no idea when that will ever get completely read. Probably in the next 5 years - lol

Victoria Zigler (toriz) | 4472 comments I've finnished reading The Lake of Souls (Cirque Du Freak, #10) by Darren Shan , and alsoread both Lord of the Shadows (Cirque Du Freak, #11) by Darren Shan and Sons of Destiny (Cirque Du Freak, #12) by Darren Shan . My opinion of the books in that series - which I've now read all of - varied from 4 to 5 stars, depending on the book. Some of the books were amazing, others either just weren't quite as good, or ended so suddenly I'd have thought something was wrong with my copies were it not for the message afterwards informing me of the title of the book the story continued in.

I've also finnished listening to Pale Demon (The Hollows, #9) by Kim Harrison on audio.

Now I'm reading Shirley by Charlotte Brontë on my Kindle, and listening to an audio copy of A Perfect Blood (The Hollows, #10) by Kim Harrison .

She's a fantastic writer! I have almost all of her books. My favourite series is the Glass series. I love how Opal is able to use her powers! :)

Michelle @Bookbuyer I am really loving the glass series. I have read her study books a few times so I'm really glad to see more of this world and the characters.

I'm SO BEHIND on the HP readalong! Too many other books I want to read! I haven't even picked up Winter yet!!

I watched the Goblet of Fire yesterday ( my fave part is seriously the end with Ralph Fiennes. He plays Voldemort SO WELL, he's genuinely creepy. They got the perfect man to play that part!)

I started Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (Harry Potter, #5) by J.K. Rowling last night.

Woot! I still need to listen to the Sun Dwellers..I was kind of waiting a bit, because I'll want to listen to the Country Saga right after it, and its not out in audio yet...I'm hoping they release it now (after TMD audio won that book award!!)

I finished Six of Crows (Six of Crows, #1) by Leigh Bardugo LOVED this fantasy! I thought it was ten times better than the Grisha trilogy, which I did like, but this had so much more depth, AMAZING characters, and fantastic world building! This is one of my most favorite fantasies! Just as good as Throne of Glass, IMO! 5 epic stars!

Harlee | 1583 comments I was in a bit of a rut but I've been on a roll lately!

Next will be The Winner's Crime (The Winner's Trilogy, #2) by Marie Rutkoski !

Karen, by the way, you asked to let me know if I think you should read Six of Crows. Yes, you should! I think you'll like it, it has such interesting characters, and romance is not a huge part of the plot. No instalove and no love triangles. YES!

I finished my eARC of Ashley Bell by Dean Koontz last night and yikes! Dean Koontz outdid himself with a few mind blowing twists! Another 5 star read for me!

Next up, an eARC of our David's Strings!!

Jenny I plan to have my own HP Challenge next year so feel free to join me over in my group if you are still reading the series :) I was just going to read one per month though and re-watch all the movies after each book. Reading Carry On is really wanting me to get back into the HP world!!
