Venise Webb (vwebb) | 19 comments Right now I am reading Bittersweet by Sarah Ockler but next I think I am going to finally give City of Bones (The Mortal Instruments, #1) by Cassandra Clare a chance. I also been reading some adult stuff.


message 111: by Simmaron (new)

Simmaron (mybookedlife) | 1119 comments Venise I finished it today itself (city of bones) . It's good. But there will be an urgent need to finish off the series ASAP .


message 112: by Nicole (new)

Nicole (nikkitikkitavi) | 14 comments @ Chelsea Tilt by Ellen Hopkins is definitely a rough read. However, the style of writing is unique and beautiful. The stories within are heart-wrenching but, it is worth taking your time to read. You will not forget it.

I just finished Lost to You (Take This Regret, # 0.5) by A.L. Jackson and Take This Regret (Take This Regret, #1) by A.L. Jackson . These are exquisite reads.

I am just starting Wintergirls by Laurie Halse Anderson .

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. :)

Cassandra I just finished both Confessions of a Murder Suspect by James Paterson (and is very patiently waiting for a possible sequel, hoping that it will come out) & Paradise by Joanna Nadin (and I'm still processing everything that happened).

I just moved onto Flirting with Boys by Hailey Abbott & The Friday Society by Adrienne Kress So far, i'm enjoying both.
& then Twenty Boy Summer by Sarah Ockler .


message 115: by Kate (new)

Kate (kaitlins16) Oh, man. I love the feeling I get when I finish a fantastic book. I'm so happy. :)

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


message 116: by Elizabeth (new)

Elizabeth | 2466 comments just got indigo spell so as soon as I finish the series I'm reading now its on too the book I'v waited much too long for


message 117: by Kate (new)

Kate (kaitlins16) I'm going to take a break from the other books I've been reading (again, since I did this with The Indigo Spell) to read Beautiful Creatures (Caster Chronicles, #1) by Kami Garcia this weekend. I've read it before, but I'm planning to see the movie on Monday, and I can't remember anything that actually happened in it.

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


message 118: by Elizabeth (new)

Elizabeth | 2466 comments Sure I can everyone has been telling me that's a great book so it will give me an excuse to read it what is it about


message 119: by Kate (new)

Kate (kaitlins16) I'll post some info on it in the Buddy Reads.


message 120: by Elizabeth (new)

Elizabeth | 2466 comments K just went over to amazon and got it but the cover is diffrent and I think I like your cover better lol


message 121: by Kate (new)

Kate (kaitlins16) I'll do the bulk of my reading on the weekend, since I have schoolwork.


message 122: by [deleted user] (new)

City of Glass (The Mortal Instruments, #3) by Cassandra Clare by Cassie clare and
A Great and Terrible Beauty (Gemma Doyle, #1) by Libba Bray by Libba Bray

message 126: by Simmaron (new)

Simmaron (mybookedlife) | 1119 comments I gifted that book on v day to myself XD lol (Rapture)
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.


message 127: by Elizabeth (new)

Elizabeth | 2466 comments Sure it's been a little bit since I read them so I will get them out and scan through them and we can talk about them

message 131: by Simmaron (new)

Simmaron (mybookedlife) | 1119 comments Completed with City of Glass and now will start City of Fallen Angels


message 132: by [deleted user] (new)

I just finished reading City of Bones (The Mortal Instruments, #1) by Cassandra Clare and Enchantment (Channie, #1) by Charlotte Abel , 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.


message 133: by Elizabeth (new)

Elizabeth | 2466 comments Oh I've read both of those books what did you think of Enchantment


message 134: by [deleted user] (new)

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?


message 135: by Kate (new)

Kate (kaitlins16) That's what didn't like about Enchantment, and unfortunately I didn't reach the ending before I got distracted by another book. I need to finish it.


message 136: by Elizabeth (new)

Elizabeth | 2466 comments I agree I read it cause I had it and I was about to give up reading it except I wanted to know if they were going to make it together the second one is much worse about the sex than the first but I kind of liked the probably won't read them agin


message 137: by [deleted user] (last edited Feb 21, 2013 09:41PM) (new)

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?


message 138: by Elizabeth (new)

Elizabeth | 2466 comments Being a reader and not a writer I don't get over upset about errors I like to get into my story's ( it is still aggravating sometimes when there are alot of them). But I find the more books a person reads changes there opinion on book some of the books I read a year ago if I go back and read them they are not as good as I thought they were to begin with so I guess I rate much tuffet now than I did when I fist started reviewing if that makes any sence at all


message 139: by Kate (new)

Kate (kaitlins16) I'm the same way. Ever since I started reviewing books on Goodreads instead of just rating them, I've become more critical. I've been doing a lot of rereading, too.

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.


message 140: by Simmaron (new)

Simmaron (mybookedlife) | 1119 comments Divergent - Veronica Roth


message 141: by Simmaron (new)

Simmaron (mybookedlife) | 1119 comments Yeah am enjoying it :)
It's amazing. Loved Tris and Four ;)


message 142: by [deleted user] (new)

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!


message 143: by Elizabeth (new)

Elizabeth | 2466 comments Just started Beautiful Darkness (Caster Chronicles, # 2) by Kami Garcia


message 144: by Chelsea (last edited Feb 21, 2013 11:43PM) (new)

Chelsea (theycallmebookworm) | 1955 comments Had to stop reading Scent of Magic (Healer, #2) by Maria V. Snyder 'cause I had to return it, it was a library copy. Now reading Through the Ever Night (Under the Never Sky, #2) by Veronica Rossi and loving it.


message 145: by Elizabeth (new)

Elizabeth | 2466 comments I'm going to start the ever night book as soon as I finish the beautiful creatures series


message 146: by Kate (new)

Kate (kaitlins16) I'm going to finish The City of Lost Souls tonight (finally), and start on Tiger's Curse by Colleen Houck, which has been calling out "Read me! Read me!" for the last year. (Before I read Divergent last month, it was doing the same thing, so I'm hoping tiger's curse is as good in a way that it doesn't disappoint.)


message 147: by Donald (new)

Donald Currently reading Clockwork Angel, and tomorrow I'll likely be reading the sequel. It only takes me at most two or three days to finish a book, so I don't bother using the "Currently Reading" feature on GoodReads unless I want to take a break and use it to keep my place for a few weeks.


message 148: by Kate (new)

Kate (kaitlins16) I am taking a break from Tiger's Curse (it's kinda ruining my weekend, but I will finish it), to read The Statistical Probability of Love at first sight. Sometimes, after reading a bunch of paranormal books, I crave a nice, lighthearted, romantic contempory read.


message 149: by Donald (new)

Donald Finished both of the books in the Infernal Devices series now, so I'm reading Paper Towns by John Green. Again I'll probably be done with it tomorrow. Let me know if frequently posting the books I'm currently reading is annoying, because at this rate every other post is going to be mine on here, lol. I read pretty quickly.


message 150: by Kate (new)

Kate (kaitlins16) It's okay, no matter how many posts there are it's still interesting hearing what other people are reading.

Paper Towns is one of my favorites. I really hope you like it.
