That one got kind of repetitive for me.

I read a few disappointing books,(Reboot) before this and was very happy with the change of pace with this book. It is so different in a good way! I am still reading it, but really liking it!

I had to DNF this one. Just couldn't get through the mean girls which included the MC.

You weren't missing anything Karen IMO.

I agree, it was difficult, and often repetitive; however, I loved Sam's personal journey and seeing her mature into a better person.

I still have it on audio and if I ever run out of books to listen to, I may turn it back on, but mostly because of the narrator. Loved her!

Just finished this series and LOOOOVED IT!!!


Now starting

Hello. I am currently reading the first book in the Game of Thrones series, almost finished it and cannot wait to read A Clash Of Kings next.

Also reading the Douglas Adams Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy series too. On book 3. It can be confusing at times but very funny. Listen to the audiobook read by Douglas Adams himself on Youtube, just amazing!

Not sure what to read next?

I just finished reading . What a lovely, gripping read!

Hey! Haven't posted in a long time. Recently I've read and am currently reading

Ooo, I just saw that at the library and passed it up. Hadn't heard of it. I'll have to check it out now :) Thanx for sharing!

I'm reading and I don't really know what to think of it yet. At first, when it was the girl's perspective, I liked it but the boys's perspectives are making me so confuse. They all sounds the same and most of the times, I don't really understand what's it's going on and argh...

I never really connected 100% with the story or characters.

I'm currently about 25% of the way through Addicted #1 by Charlotte Featherstone. It's pretty good so far. I'm definitely excited to see where it's headed.

just started flip this haunted house by rose pressey..love her writing. :0)

Loved Of Poseidon and Or Triton. I miss me some Galen!

Reading the first story in The Bane Chronicles: , and I'm really enjoying the extra insight into Magnus.

These past days, I read for the first time and it was a really nice experience. It took me a while to get used to the writting style and to undertsand Hagrid (the way he talks in french translation was much easier to understand to me) and also to realize who was who (names aren't all the sames in the french translation) and get used to the ''wizzard'' vocabulary in english but in the end, it was great. I have to say however, that while I usually don't like translations in french and think that the people who did Harry Potter did an AMAZING job. I don't say this often but Harry Potter's translation is just as good as the original in my opinion.

I also read and at first I loved it and loved the main character ( I related a lot to her) but then BAM!The main character became so annoying that I couldn't stand the book. She's one of the most selfish character I've read about.

Then, for the last book in my 2013 challenge (read 130 books/shorts story, graphic novels), I chose . I was really scared but exited when I started it because, I wasn't a big fan of the tv show. I liked but I got bored after a few episoded and I was never able to get back into it (I felt lost because a lot of times had passed and I didn't remeber that much about what I had seen).
I was also scared that I wouldn't be able to get use to the writing style since it's an adult book and when I read the prologue I thought I wouldn't be able to get throught the book because I was so confused. I didn't undertsand what was going on, who was who....The writting was so descriptive... but then I read the first chapter and all my issues with the prologue were gone and I just couldn't stop reading! It's amazing.

I am glad that I've watch most of the tv show because it really help visualize the characters, the places and everything and I would probably be a little lost without it. I'll probably watch the rest of the tv shows before I read the other books ( I don't have the money to buy the big paperpacks editions that I love and I hate mass market), even if I know that thinks started to get a little (or a lot) different from the books in season 2 and 3. I still think it'll help me understand the books better.

I've been debating whether or not to read GoT before or after I watch the TV series (so far, I've done neither), but I think I will take your advice and watch the TV series first--or at least an episode or two. I, also, like having a visual. Don't get me wrong--I always recommend reading the book before the movie/TV show, but I think this will be an exception!

I watched the first season of GoT before reading the books and am glad I did. It helped keep the characters (the MANY characters) straight. I bought his last book but haven't read it. I want the shows to catch up to me--and I'm pretty sure he isn't in a rush to write his next one soon. So far, I love the show more than the books but I liked knowing what was going to happen (wedding scene) before it aired.

I am reading "Eleanor & Park" by Rainbow Rowell

Ah, ah loll. Yeah, I think it's a good way to get into the GOT world.


Anyway, So I finished and I loved it. I even cried and I almost never cry reading a book.
I also finished and I loved it too. The first 100 pages were a little boring but it was worth it in the end.

I also read and I liked it but It wasn't what expected. I expected a collection of short stories about hot some people met and I guess it was that kind of book but at some points it almost felt like I was reading a book about a day in the life of different homosexual teenagers instead of how people met. I wouldn't have minded a book about homosexuality at all, only if just wasn't what I expected and what I was in the mood for so I was a little disappointed.

I don't know yet what I'll read next but it could be

Reading after finishing

Falling for the Ghost of You by Nicole Christie

I'm reading which I'm enjoying. It has a solid plot and some great characters, but I cannot help but to feel that the writing style is a bit juvenile.

I am about to start , and I'm so excited for it! Love this series :)

Just finished , and not sure how I felt about it. Still reading and loving it!

I'm reading Anton and Cecil: Cats at Sea by Lisa Martin.

Finally getting to this after hearing SOOO much about it. Like it so far:)

I am finally tackling The Body Finder series. And I like this 'not waiting a whole year for the next book' thing :)



I've also been slowly making my way through and I'm liking it so far.

I am currently reading and I'm enjoying it so far, even though the use of exclamation marks is excessive.

I really enjoyed The Body Finder!

I'm reading Underground by Jean Ferris.

Just finished a reread of Divergent for work and I still love it! Also finished The Outsiders and loved it too! A big thanks to Esther for recommending it. Also reading Just Like Fate, and no complaints so far. I like Cat Patrick's writing, so I have high hopes.

I'm almost finish


It's a bit similar to Along for the Ride. However, I like Wes and Macy and their Truth game.

After this, I'm gonna read

I finished up which was pretty good, especially for a self-published book.


Also just finished reading which is objectively bad but very enjoyable book. It's ridiculous to the point where you have no choice but to enjoy it.

Now I need to decide what to read next.

Re-reading so that I can read the 4th book

I'm currently reading Tough Customer by Sandra Brown. She is one of my guilty pleasures :)

I'm liking it. I can definitely see the anti-religion sentiment that has caused so much controversy, but as an adventure story, it's a lot of fun.

I didn't end up liking Desires as much as The Body Finder. How is it going for you?
