message 101: by Mad Scientist (new)

Mad Scientist (madscientist) | 1119 comments Reading rut. THat is how I feel here in China. What to read? How do I get info on new books? *pouts* Bad Taste in Boys makes me want to find another good one.

I thought the Absolutely True Diary of a Part Time Indian was fast paced and it really has info that is sometimes my life. I live on a Indian Reservation normally when I am in WI and some of that is too true it is shameful. But that is life.

WHat to read next? I started the third book in Tattoo Faeries by Melissa Marr but it is slow going :(

★Meghan★ (starinheaven) | 1455 comments I know some books that I liked recently were Wither, Darkfever, and Storm Glass. I also really like The Girl in the Steel Corset if you are in need of some steampunk.

This is just a few of them.

Mad Scientist (madscientist) | 1119 comments I was reading The Girl in the Steel Corset on my kindle when it decided to go and break on me. :( I shocked me... for what I read. I was not expecting some of that. Looking forward to finishing it when I get home.

★Meghan★ (starinheaven) | 1455 comments All right I just finished The Art of Racing in the Rain by Garth Stein . I am trying to finish Susannah's Garden (Blossom Street, #3) by Debbie Macomber . If I by chance finish that one, I may start Hereafter (Hereafter, #1) by Tara Hudson . Or maybe I will get a slight jump start on Epic Fail by Claire LaZebnik .


message 105: by ★Meghan★ (new)

★Meghan★ (starinheaven) | 1455 comments I started and finished Epic Fail by Claire LaZebnik . And I have started Hereafter (Hereafter, #1) by Tara Hudson . Also started The Winds of War by Herman Wouk .


message 106: by Mad Scientist (new)

Mad Scientist (madscientist) | 1119 comments I told you that you would finish Epic Fail in a day! I was a quick cute read. LOL! I'm glad it was cheap because I would of wanted more for 10 bucks. Ha! I skipped over Hereafter for right now.


message 107: by ★Meghan★ (new)

★Meghan★ (starinheaven) | 1455 comments I have it set for a challenge right now. So I am reading it :)


message 108: by Mad Scientist (new)

Mad Scientist (madscientist) | 1119 comments I see. I know I can't set up for Challenges until I get back home. I just don't have the reading range I need But it looks good. I'll get to it soon enough. It will bug me until I do because I just bought it.


message 109: by Zakiya (new)

Zakiya LadyWings (zladywings) I've had that book since right after it came out and I haven't read it yet. :/


message 110: by ★Meghan★ (new)

★Meghan★ (starinheaven) | 1455 comments I got Hereafter for $0.99 when it was on sale as part of Epic Reads 10 for $10 deal for ebooks last year. I am a little more than half way through it right now. I am actually enjoying it. It took a little bit to get into, but it is really good.


message 111: by Mad Scientist (new)

Mad Scientist (madscientist) | 1119 comments I had the arc and I still haven't read it. LOL! I think it was still .99 on B&N.

message 114: by Mad Scientist (new)

Mad Scientist (madscientist) | 1119 comments Halfway through the grave is good. I was actually thinking about reading the second one when I opened up thirteen reasons why instead. I might have to go back to the series now that I'm done with that one. Oh, and just downloaded Hereafter onto my Nook Color. Might finally get to that one.


message 115: by ★Meghan★ (new)

It was a little cookie cutter-ish, but it wasn't too bad. I want to see what becomes of Archer :)


message 118: by Zakiya (new)

Zakiya LadyWings (zladywings) Seriously :). I hope my library has the second one, too, lol.


message 119: by Mad Scientist (new)

Mad Scientist (madscientist) | 1119 comments Ladies I just finished Hex Hall, in pretty much a day. It was a fast read. I agree with the cookie cutter characters again but I did like the banter at times.


message 120: by Zakiya (new)

Zakiya LadyWings (zladywings) I agree :).


message 121: by Mad Scientist (new)

Mad Scientist (madscientist) | 1119 comments Anyone get to Demon Glass yet?


message 122: by Zakiya (new)

Zakiya LadyWings (zladywings) Not yet. I was going to check it out at the library, but someone has it right now.


message 123: by ★Meghan★ (new)

★Meghan★ (starinheaven) | 1455 comments I have it. :)


message 124: by Zakiya (new)

Zakiya LadyWings (zladywings) Lucky! They apparently turned it back in recently, so I'm going to try and check it out before it's gone again lol


message 125: by ★Meghan★ (new)

★Meghan★ (starinheaven) | 1455 comments I haven't started reading it yet. Working on quite a few other books. I am about to finally start the Vampire Academy series. :) Then I want to finish Leaving Paradise. I have read the first 6 or 7 chapters and it is already starting out really good. :)


message 126: by Zakiya (new)

Zakiya LadyWings (zladywings) Woohoo! I hope you like VA. It's one of my favorite series. I've never read any of Elkeles' work.


message 127: by ★Meghan★ (new)

Now currently reading Vampire Academy (Vampire Academy, #1) by Richelle Mead , The Winds of War by Herman Wouk , and Leaving Paradise (Leaving Paradise, #1) by Simone Elkeles .


message 128: by Mad Scientist (new)

Mad Scientist (madscientist) | 1119 comments I haven't started the vampire Academy series either.
I have glimmerglass at home so I'll wait to read that one.

I'v been picking up alot of indie books for smashwords & reading those. Like the Steampunk Detective and Once Bitten is what I'm working on now.


message 129: by Zakiya (new)

Zakiya LadyWings (zladywings) MS, you have GOT to start that series. You're killing me here. Lol :)


message 130: by Mad Scientist (new)

Mad Scientist (madscientist) | 1119 comments I know I Know!


message 131: by Zakiya (new)

Zakiya LadyWings (zladywings) I think we have this conversation, like, every year haha.


message 132: by Mad Scientist (new)

Mad Scientist (madscientist) | 1119 comments I think so. I'll add it to my must read list for when I get back. I need to get back to order and in a routine!


message 133: by Zakiya (last edited Jul 03, 2012 10:40AM) (new)

Zakiya LadyWings (zladywings) Please do (must read part)! When will you be coming back?


message 134: by Mad Scientist (new)

Mad Scientist (madscientist) | 1119 comments July 15th is the day I leave China. I think I'm going backwards so I might land in the US on the 15th as well. I have to double check that. But I know it will be a few days before I'm settled and really up and running again.


message 135: by Zakiya (new)

Zakiya LadyWings (zladywings) I can imagine! It'll be nice to have you in the same time zone again.


message 136: by Mad Scientist (new)

Mad Scientist (madscientist) | 1119 comments Too True!


message 137: by Zakiya (new)

Zakiya LadyWings (zladywings) :)


message 138: by ★Meghan★ (new)

★Meghan★ (starinheaven) | 1455 comments So I am now back and up and running in the reading. I haven't been reading much due to moving in to my new house on July 1st. I just got internet.

Since the last time I posted. I have finished Vampire Academy (Vampire Academy, #1) by Richelle Mead and Lover Eternal (Black Dagger Brotherhood, #2) by J.R. Ward . I am currently reading Moon Called (Mercedes Thompson, #1) by Patricia Briggs , Marked (House of Night, #1) by P.C. Cast , The Winds of War by Herman Wouk , and Leaving Paradise (Leaving Paradise, #1) by Simone Elkeles .


message 139: by Zakiya (new)

Zakiya LadyWings (zladywings) YAY!!! What'd you think about VA? You don't even have to love it, it's just the fact that you finally read it lol


message 140: by Mad Scientist (new)

Mad Scientist (madscientist) | 1119 comments Moon Called is good... I didn't get to far into the Marked series.

Should I read the Vamp Academy?


message 141: by ★Meghan★ (new)

★Meghan★ (starinheaven) | 1455 comments I actually liked VA more than I thought I would. There were things that annoyed me, but it isn't like I could really go with it. There were surprises and twists and turns. I am about 70 pages from finishing Moon Called and Only about 40 pages into Marked so we will see how it goes. I will probably try to pick up Shiver here in the next week or so too, but we will see. Lots to read and not nearly enough time to finish them all.


message 142: by Mad Scientist (new)

Mad Scientist (madscientist) | 1119 comments understandable. i need to get the next book after moon called.


message 143: by Zakiya (new)

Zakiya LadyWings (zladywings) Meghan, I got jumbled up and said all that about Vamp Acad, but that statement was meant for MS lol. I just saw M I suppose and got confused haha. But I'm glad you're enjoying your books ;)

Mad Scientist (madscientist) | 1119 comments Ok you finished three!! Whoop. Looks like you are on a roll! I wish I could say that. I've been working on making shawls because since I came back the my aunt pounced on me and said we really need some now!! Hence listening to a book and I finished three shawls in the week and will be done with the book and the fourth tonight.
