Isn't that a kind of sequel series to the Iron Fey? Let me know how you like it! I just finished her first series the other day and want to read The Lost Prince soon. I just started after rereading Crossed, and while it still isn't my favorite trilogy or anything, Ally Condie's writing is beautiful!

my recommendation for february : F. Scott Fitzgerald's "Tender is the Night"

I love the Fever series!

I recommend the book Flowers in the Attic. It's such an amazing book, one of my favorites of all time!

I'm starting Ready Player Oneas I write this. It's my first "futuristic" book, so I'm hoping it goes well and really does appeal to my inner nerd.

Just finished The Difference Between You and Me, starting Guitar Highway Rose.

Hey everyone! I'm reading (and finishing) Warbreaker by Brandon Sanderson! It's a stand alone and REALLY amazing. It's a 'high' fantasy, but it's pretty easy to understand, with great characters and a surprising plot. Definitely amazing.

Just finished Divergent, I really enjoyed it. I couldn't put it down. I just bought 13 Reasons Why and The Fault in our Stars. Can't wait to get started.

Me too!!! I'm thorn because I want to move on to book 2 but I really want to start reading the Blood King."

Well I've never read Blood King, so I can't really help you there :) But I can tell you that the rest of the Fever books are as good as the first!

I'm currently reading "Under the Looking Glass" by Alisa Tangredi. I have only just started it so don't have much to say about it yet. I won it from the Giveaways and have been really lucky and have won 25 books. I have read 8 of them and now up to book 9.

I'm currently reading The Green Mile by: Stephen King

I've just finished the Night Angel trilogy by Brent Weeks, which was pretty damn fantastic. If you get a chance, read them!!

Currently just over halfway through The Catcher in the Rye. It's taking me a while to get into it, and sometimes I think that Holden Caulfield is a tool. The langual style is also taking some getting used to - everything is 'sort of' and it's beginning to grate on me!!

I've just finished "The one hundred year old man who climbed out of the window and disappeared"...the book is very original, funny and well written! You never get bored reading it! On Amazon the kindle edition is only 20p...absolutely suggested!

I am currently reading Reached, the third book in the Matched trilogy, by Ally Condie. I have only just started it, but it seems good. I don't want to put anything about the book to spoil it for anyone who hasn't read the series yet.

I just finished revolutipn by Jennifer donnely for the second time and want to read it again. it is definetly one of my favourite books. Although there isnt a lot of action in this book it is very deep and emotional. I would recommend it to anyone who is willing to read it to the end.

I finished "The Companion", by Carolann Hays, a five star to be sure...couldn't put it down.I now have a girl crush on her and am reading everything she writes.I am also reading "The Notebook", by Nicholas Sparks.

I completed my other book yesterday, and have begun The Neverending Story by Michael Ende. This is my second attempt reading this book, it just didn't draw me in the last time around and I only made it into page 30 something. Anyone else have this issue with the book?

"A Game of Thrones"- Fantastic book. Totally recommend it. George R.R Martin is a great writer.
"Beautiful Creatures" - Great book - I recommend it but read it before the movie comes out. Otherwise you will find it disappointing.
"Sapphire Blue" - It is written by the German author Kerstin Gier. I don't dare to recommend it. The first book wasnt very good and I do not know what to think about this one yet.

So far I am loving this series :)

I finished The Painted Girls this morning. I would def recommend it if you are a fan of ballet, historical fiction and Degas!
Next on my TBR list is The Paris Wifewhich I will be reading while the hubby is watching the Super Bowl :D

I am reading NYPD Red by James Patterson which is pretty good so far. I'm picky with crime writers, but JP is one of the best!

In the middle of

I just finished Ready Player One. I really enjoyed it. A dystopian society obsessed with 80's pop culture...yes, please! It's always a fun read when you find a book that combines several of your guilty pleasures :)

Next I'm reading the Great Gatsby.

Ready Player One has made it onto my list of favorite books. I completely fell in love with it, took maybe 20-50 pages tops haha.

Just finished today and I thought it was brilliant. I would also strongly recommend if you haven't yet read it. That one got me hooked on John Green.

I am currently reading So far it is really good.

i just finished Poison Princess such a good book....kinda like the hunger games but way different!

Hi, I recently finished Iron House which was recommended by a friend and found it a great read. Currently I' am reading Beautiful Creatures. I recommend both the above as well as Sharp Objects. Enjoy!

I have the book Sharp Objects but for some reason I cannot read it there is always something stopping me or i cant get past the first few pages and i keep rereading the beginning I suck

Maria - Oh no you don't suck lol, it was hard for me because it felt so slow but after a few chapters it does get better. Hope you get back into it, good luck!

Ok I'll try and get back to it and thanks :))

Right now I am reading the Honor Harrington books (David Weber) and all associated short stories (Various authors) in internal chronological order. Which I've never done before. Should be interesting. Infact I believe I havent even read a couple of these short stories. When I'm done that... I dont know. I've been rereading favorites over the last year. Its been a LONG time since I've read the Ender's Game books. Maybe that. After THAT however, I want to read something new. Which is why I'm here. =)

I'm currently reading The Twelve by Justin Cronin. Its the second book in his passage series. The first book was AMAZING! I highly recommend these books to everyone:)

im reading insurgent and I recommend the boy in the stripped pajamas

@SHANNON

I just read those a couple months ago. That was DEFINITELY a fresh take on the genre. Highly enjoyable. Easily loveable characters.

Ive just started reading Schindler's Ark, I strongly recommend The Book Thief by Markus Zusak:)

@Kyle

I feel the same way. I hear they're making The Passage into a movie. Hoping it can hold up to my expectations but usually movies are nowhere near as good as the books. Cant wait for the third one!

@Mesha

I read Divergent and really need to pick up the second one. I loved the first. I might have to reread it to refresh my memory lol

A Sealed Fate

Just read this book, really impressed.
"One of A Sealed Fate's greatest selling points is its characters. It is quite easy to write one well rounded character and surround them with two dimensional counterparts who play their part and vanish from the plot. What Lisa Gordon does well is create equally likeable and flawed characters, someone who you feel like you might know. There is also a humour to her writing that draws you into the world she has created, the world inhabited by these characters who you now have a connection with and a wonder of what is going to befall them.

The plot is well structured, and certainly seems to have been planned out well to incorporate the different themes and genres with an inexplicable ease that many authors struggle to achieve when dealing with a straightforward a to b crime thriller. As already noted, my only slight gripe would be the quarter of the book used before I felt the story really kicked in, but every popular author has many novels with similar issues. How the rest of the story pans out and pays off is the key to how successful a book can be, and A Sealed Fate has more than enough pay off to make up for the slow start.
All in all a promising debut and one I would recommend for anyone looking for a thriller that isn't afraid to be just a little different."

Just finished reading Linger by Maggie Stiefvater. Tomorrow I'll be starting the final book in the series, Forever.

An amazing series is the Timber Wolves Trilogy by Tammy Blackwell. I just finished the third book and it was just amazing xD Im usually NEVER satisfied with book endings,but this is probably the one of the books that definitely met my expectations. CHECK THEM OUT! You wont regret it!

Right now I'm reading two books &

Have you read the Iron Fey series? I just finished them the other week, and I'm really curious about . Let me know what you think!

I'm reading Fate's Edge by Ilona Andrews...love the writing, it seems so effortlessly to come up with but I know it takes talent to write like that.

I've finished Good Omens yesterday and adored it. Now I'm reading Thirteen Reasons Why and I like it so far, even though I think it's gonna get a little depressive at some point.

The Blood Gospel

I'm reading this now and loving it! It combines Archaeology in Israel with Biblical history and vampires. THIS IS NOT TWILIGHT. In fact, most reviews mention that fans of True Blood/Sookie Stackhouse series would probably like this :) It breaks my heart at the destruction of the historical things they find, but it does add up for a great story so far :)

Currently I'm totally loving The Corrections by Franzen, I've finished a while back Freedom. So when I'm done with that, any suggestions for women's fiction?

Just finished , which I think should be classified as a children's novel, about to start .

i am reading

I'm currently reading Thirteen Reasons Why. I'm halfway through the book, and even though it's a sad story, I like it so far.
