HOW ARE YOU ALL READING SO FAST? I haven't felt the need to pick up a book since the start of the holidays, meaning I haven't read anything in a week :/

and it was so good!Now reading
for a buddy read!"Yay! So excited to see your thoughts on it Jenny.
I loved Looking for Alaska too, although it was so much darker than The Fault in Our Stars. John Green's style has changed a lot although he is hands down amazing in any book :DI'm reading
but it's very different from what I was expecting! Pretty good though.
I thought Etiquette and Espionage was completely different than I was expecting, too, but I liked it!
Jenny wrote: "I thought Etiquette and Espionage was completely different than I was expecting, too, but I liked it!"It's more heavily steampunk than I expected. I obviously knew there would be but I was really thinking it would focus a lot more on the actual assassin training stuff. Maybe it will later but as I'm going through it I'm seeing a lot of mystery and technology. I'm getting less of a feel for what the summary actually said it was about. That's fine with me though! I am enjoying Sophronia's antics and the emphasized Victorian era.
Have you guys read Soulless
? I love that series and enjoyed seeing some of the same characters in Etiquette and Espionage.
No actually! I've heard that it's really good but I wasn't aware of it being connected until after I started reading E&E. It's up soon to read though. It isn't necessary to go Soulless and then E&E right? I know that the worlds are the same. I didn't know some characters were the same too.
Soulless is like the adult version of E&E. It is excellent on audiobook if you like that format at all. I was wondering if some of you had read it before E&E by your comments because I was pretty prepared for E&E's format after I read all the Parasol Protectorate series beforehand.
Okay thanks! I think I prefer reading them myself because they go faster and I guess I like making up the voices and stuff. But I get motion sick in the car so maybe I'll give Soulless a try as audio and play it in the car on a trip or something. Can't wait!
One of those weeks when I'm reading a bit of everything and as usual, a couple of books I had on hold at my elibrary came in. Soooo, with that said, I'm reading
which I won a signed inscribed copy of a few months ago. The author also sent me the ebook! Great guy, Phillip W. Simpson!

And just bought the audio of
for a reread of the series on audio! Eek... I keep cheating and will play a few minutes here and there when I'm in the middle of reading one of the other books. Must finish library books first!

Just finished Fire Country (way to go Mr. David)!And about 50 pages into Ender's Game, so far so good...would have liked a tad more character building to start, but enjoying it (more than I thought I would).

was a really good read and if you like dystopian paranormal then give this a try. The characters are really great.

My daughter, Alison, read it in school this year, and she loved it too. She read it incredibly fast, which is rare for her! My kids have all seen the movie, though, its a family rite in this house to watch some of my favorite movies ever!
