Finished The Boundaries of Desire: A Century of Good Sex, Bad Laws, and Changing Identities
which I award 3 stars, got very dry in some sections, also finished The Dogs of Christmas
which was very adorable, 4 stars.Still Reading Furiously Happy: A Funny Book About Horrible Things
which is hilariously eye opening and at work I am now reading The Pentagon's Brain: An Uncensored History of DARPA, America's Top-Secret Military Research Agency
which is very interesting, highly recommend already and on Kindle just started Hell On Heels
which is the 3rd book in a great trilogy that I have immensely enjoyed, and this one started off great as well!

Ooh, I love Across the Universe! It gets better and better with every book :)

(half of which I had read before the New Year) this week.It was weird finishing a book about a month after I had first picked it up, but I enjoyed the read. Review to come, maybe.

I did't love it starting out, but the last 2 books have gotten really good! Great ending to Origin!

I didn't get into this one as much as Maguire's other books, which was a shame, because I'm a big fan of his writing! It felt a bit disjointed. I really enjoyed the Wonderland parts, and the concept was great, I just felt taken out of the story at about every chapter break.

Ohhhh, I saw part of an episode of the show The Last Kingdom, Victoria. It looked good and seems like something I would have liked. Let me know what you think! I know you share my love for historical fiction and Philippa Gregory. :)

I didn't like the first 2 that much, but ended up really enjoying the last 3. I binge read those over the summer. I couldn't devour them fast enough. ;)

Glass Sword I'm sooooo reading release day. I'm holding out hope beyond hope it's not second book syndrome with no action until very, very end. I loved the first so much (and was secretly, well, not soooo secretly, rooting for Maven & Mare and I still kinda am). I can't wait to see where Victoria takes it!

I think it ends in a cliffhanger so we will all die a little bit together waiting for the third book. I don't know what team I am on anymore. I was destroyed by the huge reveal so I will figure out when I re-read it. haha
Wow, everyone's reading Illuminae! There is a buddy read thread, too, guys, if after you finish you want to check out the comments of those who participated:

I suspected what happened but mannnnnn Victoria still managed to play it just right. I still felt shocked to the core when he played the Joffrey-Cersei card and that ending battle in the arena? And all of his quotes? That's the thing I loved most about that book. Victoria made every sentence feel epic and they could all be tag lines for a book. >>> and oh gosh, you just know there will be a cliffhanger!
I will be re-reading Red Queen with my Goodreads group or by myself. I forgot too much of the story to be able to go straight into Glass Sword. I do remember while I was reading, right before the big reveal, I was thinking that I hope I was wrong about him. I was proven wrong in a very epic way. The story is so epic. I was basically a wreck after reading this...in the best way though. :)

Very satisfying ending to the series!! What do you think of the narrator? Winter's voice was a bit annoying at times. ;)
