I finished
. Still taking a break from
and started
today. Unfortunately, I don't remember much about Grasping at Eternity, so I'm still a little confused. lol
I'm going to be reading The Book Thief next week for a buddy read with another group, I'm so looking forward to it!
Okay, I am swimming in books right now, lol! Luckily I have a lot of free time at the moment!
Currently reading
. I will probably try to finish Prophecy Girl tonight, I am hooked! Its angel/demon book, with a prophecy twist. Loving it!
Tomorrow starting
with David, and I also need to read
to get caught up with him! I also FINALLY got my copy of
today, and I really want to read that!
This would probably exhaust a lot of people, but I'm almost giddy I'm so excited! lol Books are definitely my drug!

It was just extremely hard for me to get through because I felt like everything bad happened to the characters all at once. But again it took place during a time when there wasn't a lot of happiness and hope then...
Reading
in our buddy read and listening to
. Both are similar genre so I keep mixing them up in my head. Ha!

I finished
and really liked it, but I didn't love it. It was a good dystopian, just very different.
Finished
and loved it up until the ending--I wasn't thrilled with the ending. I gave it 4 stars
Also finished
and was blown away by it! It was a really good sequel, 5 star rating! I heard that Elizabeth Norris is not writing any more books for the series, but I really hope she does! I want more Janelle and Ben!

I've read Grave Mercy and listened to The Raven Boys already but would love to own both and listen to Grave Mercy! I downloaded Of Poseidon this morning. I'll check out Enchanted and The False Prince for sure! I rarely listen to music now unless I'm working or in the car. I ALWAYS have a book going and walked an extra mile last night just to keep listening to Pure last night. hahahah... Now THERE'S an incentive to exercise!
I had to substitute teach today and borrowed
from the school library for the day. Got through half of it. I hated to give it up . . .
Aww thanks for all the nice things everyone said, I just caught up on this thread :) I finished Variant and quite liked it, and it was written by Dan Wells brother, I had no idea!
Now back to Apocalypsis :)
Now back to Apocalypsis :)
That is so cool, David, I didn't know that either! I can't believe I missed that!
Finished
and LOVED IT!!! For everyone who loves Stephanie Perkins novels (
) you must try this one! So so good, a little more snarky, but just a great story on first love!

OK my friends, I need some advice. I have one credit with Audible and I can't decide between these books:
So what's your vote?

Unraveling is AMAZING!!! I think you would really like it. I haven't read any of the others yet.

Since TV is on repeat during this time, I am on a reading binge. I finished up the Gone series, all six of them, loved loved them!
Then went to
and then
The Mating was a fast read, a bit predictable but still couldn't put it down, also a romance which I almost never read, but it was about werewolves and had some intrigue so I want to read more by Nicky Charles. But Legend was AMAZING! I can see it as a movie and the rights have already been purchased in 2011 I think, and it is in progress so I hope that comes to fuition. Now I impatiently await for the second book
to come available in my local library and that should be in a couple days. I love the way the book is told in the voices of the two main characters, Day and June. Also the third book is ready for pre-order, coming out this fall, Champion. the third in the Divergent series comes out this fall too, and the first movie of it. I am so excited!

I love the Gone series as well Dnicole. I still need to read Light though.
I have so many books to read! I'm almost done with
and I'm really enjoying it! I haven't decided if I'm going to take a break and read a chick flick or two such as
or
or
I also have multiple series to read:
or
or
or
And I aslo have two books that are in at the library:
and [bookcover:Shatter Me|10429045! Good thing I like to read I'm just not sure what to read next! I want to at least read two of my library books so that I can replace them with the ones that are in at the library! My goal is to pick them up wednesday or Thursday!
