What are you reading right now?
Sorry I've been a little out of touch. Craziness on the personal side (moving houses / cities). I just finished a novel I think some of you would enjoy.
The story highlights two female protagonists and their battle against these demons that come into our world. Well-written fantasy.
I have been reading
as I mentioned before. But I picked up
yesterday, it's been on my to read list and I was curious and thought I'd just read a few pages to see what it's like. Well I'm now 60% in and IT IS SOOO FREAKING AWESOME!!!!! I've always enjoyed David Estes books, but HOLY COW he's outdone himself!!! I've already bought

Just finished The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater. Holy moly this book was spectacular! I can see why the series has such a huge following. I already feel like I drank that kool-aid. Starting The Dream Thieves, which is the second book in The Raven Cycle.

I think since the Lunar Chronicles are officially done I'll pick it back up again at some point this year. I wanna give it another shot just... I didn't want to be going nuts from waiting for all the books.As for what I'm reading:
Say what you will about the authors other books she did her research on this one. THIS is the Natasha Romanoff I know from the films.
I haven't had much time to read today but I am really enjoying this so far.
I am reading
. My husband looked over and asked if I could pick a bigger book!
Everyone has to put down what they're reading and read A court of thorns and roses. So good I just finished it. Also, can anyone else give me their opinion on the testing series? (Testing, university, graduation day) I don't know exactly how I feel about it yet haha

I'm at 70% and staying up really really late listening to this. I think I'll switch to the print because I'm at the point where I want to know what's going to happen next and audio takes too long. ;)
Mod
. My husband looked over and asked if I could pick a bigger book!"I just saw that another group I'm in is reading it and am really tempted to join in. ;) I destroyed my copy though from reading it too much so need to find a new copy.
I am reading it for a group read for Apocolypse Whenever. This is my favorite SK book and probably all time favorite book.
Mod
I'm in that group too and that's where I saw it! ;)
Mod

It has a cool premise! The pacing is a little slow so far, but I've heard it gets more exciting.

I wanna give this one another chance but ugh.... I couldn't take the weird way they decided not to tell a character's name. Just... Nope.

Oh yay! I'm glad you liked them Victoria. I have all of them but just now starting them :-)

Storm, I have laughed and laughed and unfortunately I have some of the mental disorders she has and some of my own so I can relate but I'm nowhere near as funny as her :-D I want to read her first one too!

I'm not sure if I can read that Dumplin' . I had it checked out from the library but let it go back. A lot of my friends didn't think it was all that great.. and now you didn't like it that much. I'm not worried about reading it any time soon then.

Oh read it for sure, it's AMAZING. There's some heavy stuff in there too like Furiously Happy but most of it is pure hilarity. I spent many an afternoon just reading through it and cracking up. It never fails to put me in a great mood.

Yay! I can't wait to get it too. I heard about it after I got this one. She's so freaking funny and I have actually said some of the things she mentioned like the numbers thing. LoL

And her banter with her husband is GOLD.
@Storm Let's Pretend This Never Happened had me rolling. The chapter with the raccoons made me cry I was laughing so hard!

I'm also reading Jackaby, another PIFM for December, which I haven't decided what my opinion on it is. I'm not loving it but not hating it....it's just not my typical read at all.
