I'm reading Bridget Jones' Diary (once again)

I'm half way through The Book Thief now, but I too, think my love for it has more to do with the characters themselves then the storyline. Of course, I do find the story line great and the suspense of not knowing what will come next is good, but I fell in love with all of the characters, even Rosa.

I'm reading a bunch of books, at the moment. I think I'm the most into Beautiful Creatures but I'm also reading Looking for Alaska. I think so I don't become a flustered mess I'm going to take a break from Looking for Alaska so I can finish Beautiful Creatures without having to re-read everything.

THE BOOK THIEF I WANT TO READ THAT SO BADDDDDD AHHHHH
so many books to read, not enough time

I want to read Looking for Alaska!!

I'm only a few pages into Looking for Alaska but it's awesome so far :)

but it's john green so of course it's awesome

Yes!! I read The Fault In Our Stars is amazing, i love it!

I'm new to this group, and relatively new to Goodreads as well. :)

I'm currently reading the fifth book in A Song of Ice and Fire, A Dance With Dragons (if anyone is unaware, this series inspired the TV show Game of Thrones). Highly, highly recommend.

I'm also a little way into The Perks of Being a Wallflower, which I should've gotten around to reading awhile ago, but never did!

I've scanned the posts on this page, and just wanted to comment about John Green - I've read Paper Towns, Looking for Alaska, and The Fault in Our Stars. TFIOS was the favorite for me, as it is for most fans of his. Looking for Alaska was next; I loved the profound ending. Paper Towns, though...it didn't really do it for me. Not my favorite read. Love Green's writing style, but the plot was lacking, in my opinion.

I'm reading Ignite me right now. It's good but I'm only about 9 chapters in. I
This is the final book in the shatter me series, and this series had been awesome!

How is it? I've been meaning to read it but I just always put it off for later..

Oh TFIOS is my all time favorite book
I HAVE SHATTER ME OMFG I NEED TO FINISH SO MANY DIFFERENT BOOKS

This is a great book about India that I wrote recently : Indian Renaissance: A New Age I

I was reading the last book of "dark materials" by Philip Pullman but could not finish it. It kind of got boring......but liked the first two though I will finish it soon.

Hey, guys, I was just wondering if Vampire Academy is worth the read. I know the movie is out now, and I know it's pretty popular, but I was just looking for some honest comments about it without reading through the 3000 reviews. :)

To Anne: You should pick it up! It's definitely worth the read. I'm currently reading the series as well. I've got all 6 to marathon in preparation of the movie, but from what I've read, it's very enjoyable.

PS. Does anybody else seem to feel that the Vampire Academy series is a whole lot like the Half-Blood/Covenant series by Jennifer L. Armentrout?
I'd definitely recommend that one for those who enjoyed theVampire Academy series.

You should! It's one of my all time favorites!

Thanks, guys! I'm going to download the audio for my vacation and listen to it on the drive. I did the Infernal Devices series last time. Can't wait to do Vampire Academy.

I've finished reading the Abandon trilogy by Meg Cabot. I really enjoyed it since it is loosely based on the Persephone and Hades myth. This afternoon I started Frost Bite (the second book in the Vampire Academy series). I want to get to the theaters to see Vampire Academy if the snow would ever stop!

ugh the snow it's horrible

i should be getting my books from barnes and noble on tuesday :) at least i'll have something to do over my break now.

i really really want to see vampire academy, but i don't even have a cinema in my town D:

I just started "Hollow City" by Ransom Riggs! I'm so beyond excited about this book. I absolutely loved the first book. Has anyone read "Hollow City" yet?

Red by Jennifer Anne Davis.. The Key by her was awesome and this is book two..excited to start it. :)

I just finished up Wake by Lisa McMann and I am about to start her second book Fade. Honestly, I enjoyed reading Wake. I am sooo excited to read Fade!

Haha I know how you feel!

Rereading Under The Never Sky in perpetration for the third installment.

I'm reading Blood Promise it is so amazing and I'm sad about Dimitri but I hope Rose makes it to freedom or at least back to the Academy

I just finished reading CRESS by Marissa Meyer and it was SOOO good. Hate having to wait probably a year for #4 WINTER. Great series1

I'm currently reading, The Fault In Our Stars by John Green. I just finished An Abundance of Katherines by Green. I kept seeing how people thought he was one of the best YA authors. Which of his books is your favorite?

I just downloaded Cress. I love that series. I just finished reading the two books in the Arcana Series: Poison Princess and Endless Knight. Talk about cliff hangers....

I'm reading Robin McKinley's Chalice. I love some of her other books, but I'm not sure what to think of Chalice.

Ignite Me by Tahereh Mafi. I'm...not functional. This series has killed me. O_O

I'm reading Dr. Frankenstein's Daughters. It's a novel about Ingrid and Giselle, the supposed twin daughters of Dr. Frankenstein, told through their letters and diary entries. It's really good so far!

Finished , , and

Now reading , and still working my way through

I'm about to start Spirit Bound the fifth book in the Vampire Academy books

I am, too. Mostly because I forgot what happened in book 2, so thought...oh might as well reread all of them. haha

I read that and I loved it! had to take an SRC test (being only 13 and in the 7th grade) and I aced it cause I remember books better when I love them. The next book by this author I'll read is "I am the Messenger."

I just got Daughter of Smoke & Bone, Cinder, Beautiful Darkness, Cruel Beauty, and The Book Thief in the mail yesterday and and haven't read any of them yet D: I can't seem to focus on reading arghh

I finished reading The Fault in Our Stars by John Green. It was a terrific book. Just as good as readers had said it was. I started the Ruby Red trilogy and have already finished Ruby Red and am now reading Sapphire Blue.

I'm wanting to start a new series, any suggestions?

I'm reading the Covenant series by Jennifer Armentrout and I'm enjoying it. It is similar to the Vampire Academy series.
