"Glad to hear you loved Winter too!
My 'currently reading' list is long. Very long. Are you ready? Okay, here goes:
- Recommended to me by Oda. It's not my native language, so it's taking me quite a while to read.
- I'm reading this one on my phone when I can't sleep or when I've forgotten to take my other books with me
- Audiobook, listening whenever I'm coloring, running or showering
- Non-fiction. It translates into Writing Therapy.
- Book two in a Danish YA Sci-Fi series. This is my main book.
@Caitlin - Glad to hear you loved Bone Gap! I've heard great things about it and I'm excited to read it. :)@Victoria - Yes! Winter was absolutely fantastic. :D
I am reading The Institute
and I am listening to a podcast called Sword and Scale on my morning runs. It is sooo interesting, about real murders that happened with recordings from the murderers. Yes, I know, it is dark. I like dark. Sometimes.

was so good. Can't wait for the movie?Are you from Denmark? We had two exchange students stay with us who were Danish a few years ago. Sweetest girls ever.
Right now I'm reading
and
which I am unhappy with so far. I'm not liking any of the characters so far, Sarah Maas is disappointing me :( I hope it gets better. I'm about 20% in.
Donna, I've heard such mixed things about Queen of Shadows, but David said he's loving it, so I'm holding out hope!!
I really enjoyed
. It was a step down from the previous book for me but still really good.Donna, what are you not liking about it?

The characters. They've all changed so much, and not in a good way. I just don't like any of them anymore. I'm feeling like I don't care what happens to any of them anymore. I'm hoping things change for the better.

I sort of get what you're saying, Donna, all the characters are pretty rough and nasty, particularly in the beginning. But they DO get better, like A LOT better, so hang in there. I found it a little depressing early on but then you feel more hope and light in the darkness as the plot develops.

Oh, David, THANK YOU for that!! That is sooo good to hear and will keep me going!!! :) It is depressing right now.

Michelle wrote: "I'm re-reading Clockwork Angel as well. :)"
Awesome Michelle! I've been wanting to start for weeks and finally cracked it open this morning. :)

Yes! Me too! I had to finish a few books before I could dive in but I'm so excited now that I have. I fell right back in love with the first book.
I just finished
and
. Loved, loved, loved Water and Storm Country. I am excited now to read The Earth Dwellers! Legend was ok but I was a little disappointed.Now I am reading
and
. I read about them here and decided to give them a try.
I took The Cure for Dreaming off my currently reading shelf but I'm still kind of reading it lol. I think I'm also going to start something else if I have the time tonight.

It was part of a book haul several months ago. I got it on sale!

I really like the Justin Cronin series. It's been like 3 years since the second one came out though. I completely forgot there was supposed to be a 3rd book.

I'm currently reading Me Before You by Jojo Moyes and so far it's pretty good but due to its sad nature I'm also reading a second book , which is Shatter Me, which I'm getting close to finishing!
I finished my reread of

Also finished my audio (finally) of
This was a pretty good story, although a bit lacking in the world building part.

I'm reading An Uncertain Choice. I wasn't sure about it at first, but it grew on me. Kind of reminds me of The Selection series.
I'm curious about that one, Catherine, let us know what you think please!! I liked the selection series and would be interested.
