I just thought there were scenes that would be to violent for a five year old. Maybe it wasn't and it was just my imagination making it violent.

[David, Mr. Blue Eyes; He's the Best--Ain't no lie!! ;)]

Within the Children's section there's usually a range from picture books to middle grade and everything in between. Just because something is in the Children's section doesn't mean it's appropriate for a five year old. Again, I'd site Harry Potter and Percy Jackson as good examples of other books you might find in the children's section that aren't for very young readers. Of course it depends on the library :)

My library has it in the children's section, too, but I think of it more as YA.

I started while in the car today - but it's something like 15 hours and a dystopian that takes a real commitment to the story - which is good so far. So I'm putting that on hold for now. I may pick it right back up though, since I have to do some serious long-distance driving over the Labor Day Weekend.

Right now, I'm listening to --- which is like eating cotton candy. Also reading these ebooks - and this in hardcover -

All this actual print is a huge departure for me - and I'm losing sleep! lol!

Posted my video review of the City of Bones movie!

[DeAnna]

I finished City of Bones last night. Not sure what I'm reading next, since David and I (anyone else?) are supposed to buddy read Shadow & Bone on Tuesday.

[Cindee]

I am reading thrones of glass. I had a hard time getting into it and had put it away. but I've heard so many people go off about it I thought I should give it another go. so far I'm loving it, glad I gave it a second chance.

I was that way to Cindee. Took me a minute to get into it and then it just took off.

[Jenny, Always smiling! :-D]

I just finished , after numerous technical difficulties that had me tearing my hair out!!! But anyways, finally finished it and I LOVED IT!!! So, so good, one of my favorite books ever! I am having trouble with coherent thoughts at the moment, I just LOVED IT!!!

Started reading and so far, its good! I like the style and how its put together, very different!

Yay Shadow and Bone! Can't wait to start it tomorrow :)

[Karli]

I've got a couple long term reads going on: The Collected Poems of Sylvia Plath (can only handle a few poems at a time) and Shantaram by Gregory David Roberts (extremely complicated and over 1500 pages long).

Aside from that, I'm supposed to do a buddy read for Unwholly by Neal Schusterman this week and another buddy read for Once We Were by Kat Zhang next week.

But I'm worried because both of those are sequels to books which were really slow paced and disappointing for me. And I'm anyway in a reading rut (haven't finished a book in two weeks).

Can anyone recommend a really fast-paced, action-packed, shockingly-engrossing read to kick me into high gear?

[Karli]

DeAnna, David - have fun with Shadow & Bone! It's awesome!

[Jenny, Always smiling! :-D]

Eleanor and Park on audio is phenomenal! The narrators do an excellent job voicing the characters.

Heads Up, we are about to start a Buddy Reads for Origin this week.

Come join us here

Are the ones I'm coming up with off the top of my head...
oh also or any of the sequels to those. Hopefully that's enough variety for you to pick one!

[Lynn]

Just finished
Going to start reading shortly. :)

[Karli]

Wow! Thank you for all the recommendations, Jenny!

A few of those I'd never even heard of - The Alchemyst, The Name of the Star, Crusade, A Conspiracy of Alchemists - so thanks for the cool new additions to my absolutely huge TBR pile! Lol.

I've actually got a copy of Unraveling lying around so I definitely need to pick that one up. I've read all the Lorien Legacies books except for the latest one which I'm itching to get my hands on!

I read samples of Legend and Throne of Glass, but they just didn't grab my attention enough for me to want to read them. But on the other hand, I suspect they're the kind of books that could get really addicting and that might be just what I need...

[Sky]

I finished and now I'm working through these books have made me super angry.

[Jenny, Always smiling! :-D]

You're welcome! I need to read the Rise of Nine, and now, The Fall of Five since it just came out! I wonder how many books there will be for the Lorien Legacies?

[Katelyn]

-and it's taking all of my self-control not to finish it in one sitting.

[Karli]

As far as I know, they're planning on 6 books for Legacies and 9 for Lost Files. So almost over :/

i can relate. i have started reading it too but work calls are annoying the hell outs me.

[Lauren]

[Jenny, Always smiling! :-D]

Started reading but its not making any sense at all to me at this point! It started off really promising, so we'll see how it comes out!

READ THRONE OF GLASS!! Just my opinion lol

[Karli]

I actually just got it! And also the Fall of Five. Now I'm wondering which to read first.

[Patrick]

I am really waiting for the Fall of Five to be released here in the Philippines :)

[Fiona (Titch)]

I have finished Claim Me - J. Kenner which I thought the characters are so intense now with the way Damien and Nikki are learning about each other. It's still in the style of 50 Shades. Now I am going to read Complete Me - J. Kenner and I am listening to .The Woman Who Went to Bed for a Year - Sue Townsend on my phone.

[Jenny, Always smiling! :-D]

Well was just kind of a meh read, I gave it 3 stars. It was a cool concept, just not carried out very well.

Also finished which was a fun read, I gave it 4 stars. It has quite a low rating on Goodreads, and I'm taking that because of the format. It didn't bother me, and I got used to it pretty quickly.

I think is next up!

[David, Mr. Blue Eyes; He's the Best--Ain't no lie!! ;)]

Finished ! Awesome ending to a book that as otherwise a bit boring for me. But the last 30% was so good it convinced me to read the sequel :)

Now I started by Barry Lyga, who's an incredible big time author who happens to be a member of this group because he'll be stopping by on September 13th for a Q&A!!!!

I'm just starting Through the Ever Night by Veronica Rossi. I was completely enamored by the whole story in the first book so I'm excited to see what this book has to bring to the table.

The second book is even better!' Enjoy :)

[Gabby]

finished so now I can finally move onto WOOHOO!

[Patrick]

I just started reading then I'll be reading The Country Saga next

[Karli]

Finished The Fall of Five and started Throne of Glass. Then I found out my local book store had a huge sale on, so I went over there and ended up getting The Moon and More and Seraphina. I've been wanting The Moon and More for a long while now since it's the latest book by one of my favorite authors. So that's the one I'm reading now.

[Karen’s Library]

Finishing up a reread of so I can finally read the sequel

How was the Fall of FIve?

[Karli]

It was great! There was one particularly shocking twist that makes me feel like this series is going to end up being a lot more complex than I'd expected. And it was just really very entertaining all throughout - except things did fall apart a little in the last 50 pages.

[Tracy]

I am reading and listening to and A little bit of everything.

[American Wolf]

i am reading 13 but finshing hp year 2

[Jeann (Happy Indulgence)]

Had a lovely weekend away interstate and did a lot of reading on the plane.

Finished: which was a beautiful, touching, sinister, love story about a girl who got her tongue cut out

Nearly finished: which is an interesting psychological thriller in a contemporary sense - and by an aussie author, yay!

Halfway through which was interesting but starting to get weird so I put it down for a bit
