Miyazaki is truly a genius!
I keep ending up unsubscribed to this thread somehow. Reading
because I'm doing a re-read with blogging & goodread buddies.

This is probably my 5th read...and I feel no guilt about that.

Currently reading The Constant Princess. It's good - I like some historical fiction. Just finished Nicholas Dane. I liked it ... only it was WAY too depressing. It's a good thing it ended well. Definitely got me thinking though.

Reading rut, reading rut...boy I hate this reading rut.I recently made it through
, but now find myself chipping away at all sorts of different books, not really being captivated by anything in particular right now.(I think my birthday is really bothering me this year.) :(
Hopefully something takes soon.
The book that I'm reading right now is
by-Rita Williams-Garcia & right now I'm starting getting into those pages where this young HS girl is getting bullied. ;O

I'm currently reading Hold Me Closer, Necromancer, which is pretty cute so far. And Vortex which I'm terrified to read because I loved Tempest so much...
I'm currently into
and it's kept me intrigued for now. So far so good!
I'm re-reading (by audio) Finnikin of the Rock (which I love) in preparation for reading Froi of the Exiles.
Random personal gripe:I'm currently reading
and saw this new book
.I miss good graphic designers and illustrators. I have to say that the generic photo covers are really just turning me off. Remember this thing called "creativity"?
City of Fallen Angels by Cassandra Clare

Loved it! Everything by Stephanie Perkins is amazing!
Anna is AWESOME!!! I love that book. I've probably read it about 5 times or so. It never gets old. I was a little disappointed with the sequel, but am super excited for the third book coming in (i think) May. I finally got around to the Significance series
Working on the fourth book now. I really like this series :)
Reading
& listening to
The "Book Thief" is one of the best YA books ever written ~ about German sympathizers; told from a young girl's point of view. Very well written.
It is now required reading in many American schools. BRAVO!

I finished it a while ago! GAH!!! It was amazing!!! I don't know if I liked it better than Cinder. The two were pretty on par for me. I loved the character additions. Eeek! It was so good...I LOVE this series. I'm gonna die waiting for Cress and Winter :(
Now starting

Reading
