I just finished


I am just starting


I'm 60% through The Indigo Spell. When I was reading it last night, I could hardly pull myself from it long enough to do my homework, and I even stayed up an hour late last night to read. It's amazing. :)

I just moved onto


& then


I just finished The Indigo Spell. It was amazing, and I can't wait till the next one comes out in November!



It'd be cool to have someone read this with me for the Buddy Reads for the weekend, if anyone would be willing to.




The second one is for school we had to choose a historical book and start reading it that day, and I had already started Glass so... :)

The whole series is great. After finishing mortal instruments we'll discuss fallen series or just rapture too bcuz I feel like discussing it desperately.


Currently Reading: Blood Red Road - moira young (strange narrative but enjoying it so far)
Next to Read: Above - Leah Bobet
I just finished reading
and
, and loved them both. I may have been slightly let down by the ending of City of Bones, but I'm still going to read City of Ashes next.


It took me a while to get into Enchantment, but by the end of the book I was hooked.
What I didn't like: the constant rambling about sex and lust became tedious, and Channie's family was annoying.
What I liked: Josh and Channie's relationship became more about love than lust out of necessity, which is pretty rare in YA fiction (IMO), and Josh was unbelievably patient- that made him sexy. lol
What did you think?

Here's a question: do you think self-publishing has lowered your standards for books?
I have read so many terrible books that even if I don't like a book, if it has decent grammar, spelling and punctuation I will at least give it two stars.
After reading Enchantment, I kind of wondered if my new standards were making me like the book more than should have, because at least most of the punctuation and other stuff was okay. Does that make sense?

I care more about the content than grammar, honestly. Unless its really bad (I hate bad grammar), I will like it if the author is creative and can draw me into the story.
Oh, I have Divergent too! I got distracted by a few other books but I'm looking to read that very soon.
@Kaitlin and Elizabeth- maybe I am picky about grammar, punctuation and such because I'm a writer and it embarrasses me when I find those errors in my books! But I'm like you guys, I won't write a book off just for a few spelling errors. I'd be missing out on a lot of awesome books if I did that!
