What are you reading right now?
I'm reading
for read and review and this is a pretty amazing story so far. I've never read a dystopian novel with such a grim and hellish world! It's very well written.
I've never read a Gaiman book, though I've heard good things and even saw a cartoon version of him on Arthur. lol Where would you recommend starting with his books?

Just be warned his books are weird and kind of scary but not too scary :)
I finished reading
late last night, and I loved it! It was a good dystopian--kind of a twisted version of the Hunger Games idea, but the MC and other characters were great, and the government is truly evil. Very quick read as well.

by Lizzy Ford."If you like Lizzy Ford, you won't be disappointed by this. Personally I consider this to be an adult book, but that doesn't even hit until like the last 1/4 :)
I loved Throne of Glass!!! So good!!!

I'm just about to start
I'm super excited that my library had the whole triology on ebook so I don't have to wait to read them all if I like the first one.
I'm in the middle of an ARR for another author, just started Knife
and opened
and the opening scene hooked me because it was so horrifying. It reminded me of the Unwind scene in Unwind. Creepy.

Waiting for the audio of this one at the library. This book has been going around a lot lately, must be really good.

OHMYGOSH!! I'm listening to the audio as a reread. I'm at 80% or so. I jumped in the tub last night and turned it on, and just sat and soaked and sobbed!! This is the BEST book ever, BETTER on audio, and even better the second time around even knowing what's going to happen. It hurts MORE in the sad parts!! I cried before, during, after... And I'm sure when I turn it on, I'll start crying again.

. It didn't really impress me. But I decided to give the two sequels a chance, and boy oh boy was I ever glad I did!

I don't want it to end, Jen. I have 15% to the end. I need to get the next two on audio so I can continue the series but have other audios I want to listen to first.
