Hopefully I'll be able to jump right back on it after I finish Magic Bites -- that's audio too. The Help is such a great story, and I think one that really deserves to be told. People always think we've come such a long way from slavery and racism, but racism remains alive and well and it sickens me.

Finished
3.5 stars
Even though our MC was a train wreck, I actually grew very fond of Tia and her sarcastic humor. I really liked Will. The teen flirting and romance as times made me roll my eyes a bit, but it was cute and funny! I wish there had been more with her Dad, or any parent really...all these teenagers just roaming around parent-free didn't seem realistic. Also, FYI, this is OLDER YA, as some of the sex scenes get a bit graphic, and there's lots of smoking, booze, and drugs throughout.
Next is my last PIFM book,

I'm not quite sure what to do with my heart after finishing Me Before You by JoJo Moyes. It was so good, definitely a contender for favorite 2016 read! I feel like I need to read a completely different genre to pull me out of my severe book hangover. I'm debating between starting The Raven Boys or starting my re-read of Throne of Glass and Crown of Midnight so I can finish Heir of Fire and Queen of Shadows.
I am really enjoying the second book in Hugh Howey's YA series, Molly Fyde :) I really love this series!

Between not having much reading time while I was away, and spending most of the time since I got back alternating between sleeping and attempting to catch up with things, I've read very little in the past week and a half.I started listening to the audio version of Death's Heretic on my computer before I left, and have listened to some since I got back, but haven't quite finnished it yet.
I also started Jason and Lily before I left, but since that was on my Kindle I was able to take it with me. I finnished it the night before travelling home, and then started Elegy, which I haven't had a chance to finnish yet.
Rereading

I've read Unwind at least 3 times! The audio reread was really incredible! That one scene is completely different the way he narrates! At least for me anyway,

Just powering straight through The Shadow Queen it's that good. I might pick Beautiful Darkness back up after, but I'm also considering exchanging it for different books. We'll see. But everyone should seriously pick up The Shadow Queen.
Just finished
and holy crap it was awesome! I don't know why it took me as long as it did to finally pick it up.Now reading
and getting all those end-of-a-series feels that I am in no way prepared for. *sniffs*
I just finished
. I liked it but didn't love it. I'm having trouble deciding what to start next but I think I'm going to try
.

Awoken which was a great start to a new series. I would have liked to feel a bit more for some of the characters, but it was so enjoyable to read that it was still worth of 5 stars for me. I can't wait to read more about the Lucidites, and I love the twists and the ending.Also finished
The Diving Bell and the Butterfly as it is one of those books I had never gotten around to reading. I'm so glad that I was finally able to read this. The implications of the amount of work that had to go into this are insane. Everyone should read this at least once. I love the wit of the man. 4 StarsSTILL READING
Token Huntress for my pen pal read! Great intro.
The Fairy Boy of Calton Hill for my read & Review and it started out well. There is a bit of different lingo being written by a Scottish author, but I have found that if I envision a Scottish accent (such as Sean Connery) when I read it that it makes the flow seamless. Just started
One Child: The Story of China's Most Radical Experiment which I am very excited about.Also started
Autobiography of a Geisha to continue on with my Asian/Geisha theme of late ;)

I'm currently reading

and I'm also wanting to finish my reread of The Broken Empire series so I can finally start The Red Queen's War.
I'm 40 pages into The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater and I actually am enjoying it!I'm also super excited to do an read and review of an E-Arc I received from author Seth King called Honesty! Can't wait!!!!

The Raven Boys was one of my favorite books too! I love everything that she writes.
