Morgan | 13 comments I am currently reading The Tragedy Paper by Elizabeth LaBan so far so good -- not typically the type of book I read but thought I would branch out a little bit.


message 2274: by Bookbringer (new)

Bookbringer (melaniebookbringer) Right now, I'm reading Unspoken by Sarah Rees Brennan. =)


message 2275: by DeAnna (new)

DeAnna (dee84812) | 671 comments I stayed up until 2am finishing With All My Soul (Soul Screamers, #7) by Rachel Vincent . It was really good, but now I'm sad it's over!

I was going to read Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn next, but my digital library loan expired, so I guess I'll check it out again some time in the future.

I think my egalley of Pretty Dark Nothing by Heather L Reid will be next instead.

I totally agree with you karen. Buddy reads are awesome. It is so nice to be abel to share your thoughts about a book with someone who is also reading it.

I just ordered Fragments (Partials, #2) by Dan Wells , it probably will take 2 weeks before it arrives though, but I have Partials in paperback, so I wanted Fragments in paperback too.

Marylene | 74 comments Working on The Girl Who Played with Fire (Millennium, #2) by Stieg Larsson still. It's really good. I just came across a challenge in life that has left me with less time to read. I'll still make time to make reading time fit in my schedule even if it's not as much as I want right now.

Is The Prince worth the four dollars? For only 50 pages?

I like this book much better than the first one. It's more gory though.

It might be worth it but $4 for a novella is shocking! I was just having this conversation with someone else, novellas should be free or $.99 as a thank you to the readers who love the series they're based on. Just my opinion!

Well, $3.18...
I agree with the free or 99c thing, unless of course, the whole series consists of Novellas, in that was; they'd be worth the 99c, but that is ridiculous!

I agree with the 99 cents idea! Most of them are about 1.99, although I have seen some for $3-$4!

I finished The Sweetest Dark (The Sweetest Dark, #1) by Shana Abe and really liked it! It was a very different kind of fantasy involving alchemy and dragons!

Now reading Boundless (Unearthly, #3) by Cynthia Hand Woot,woot! Great so far!

Duly noted, Heidi! I just put the audiobook on hold at my elibrary! :)

I think I'm about ready to put Before I Fall by Lauren Oliver on my Did Not Finish list. I think the writing is good and the audiobook narrator is awesome, as you and Jen said she would be... But cheesy teen Clueless/Mean Girl type stories are just not my thing and it's starting to grate on me. I thing I'll stop when The Girl Who Played with Fire (Millennium, #2) by Stieg Larsson becomes available.
