January 14, 201313 yr I was reading The Power Of Five Series. The storyline is great, I wish I have its last two books
January 27, 201313 yr I got Seraphina by Rachel Hartman and The Girl of Fire and Stones by Rae Carson for Christmas and just finished them. They both have beautiful covers and were recommended by Tamora Pierce. Although the second book was about a princess in medieval made-up land, it was entirely different from anything I've ever read. I would recommend both books, they were both incredible!
February 6, 201313 yr Author I want to read Dark Hollow by Brian Keene soon. I'm going to a book signing of his this month and I'd like to have it finished before I go.
February 6, 201313 yr I borrowed Elantris by Brandon Sanderson from a friend, but I have yet to really get into it. He's a good author, though. ^_^
February 21, 201313 yr Author Yesterday I went to my library's book store and I bought Fairest by Gail Carson Levine.
February 21, 201313 yr Richard Dawkins - The God Delusion Blends in nicely with the genres mentioned earlier in this topic huh? :D
February 21, 201313 yr I recently got House of Leaves and am looking forward to reading it, heard good things about it
February 22, 201313 yr A few of my friends from university and I are all over the world at the moment so we decided to start a virtual book club to stay in touch and Skype every month. The first book picked is The Swan Thieves by Elizabeth Kostova. I've never heard of it before, but I just picked it up from the library so I hope it's good.
February 23, 201313 yr We were reading Streetcar Named Desire (I read it last year and love it, even if it is somewhat depressing) for English, and I got a book with it and two of Tennessee William's other plays. I know it's goofy, but I'm really excited about it.
March 2, 201313 yr Author The last book I bought was yesterday at the Dollar Tree. It's At the Sign of the Star by Katherine Sturtevant.
March 2, 201313 yr I was given two boxed sets for Christmas: Divergent (2 books) and Matched/Crossed/Reached (which I'd never heard of -- apparently my sister told my brother I really wanted them for some reason). I haven't started either of them yet because I have too many library books and keep reserving more. I just watched the ALA award announcements and reserved the Newberry winner The One and Only Ivan, Bomb: the race to build and steal the world's most dangerous weapon (which was nominated for a bunch of stuff, and I think it won a few, too), and Aristotle and Dante discover the secrets of the universe (which also won at least a couple of things).
March 7, 201313 yr Author I bought three books today. I had to go to my library to pick up two books I had on hold and I went in my library's book store. They are having an Easter Basket sale also, where you pick an egg and you can get 10%-30% off. So, the egg I picked I got 30% off the books I bought. The books I bought are: Clockwork by Philip Pullman, Crown Duel by Sherwood Smith and Wolves of the Beyond by Kathryn Lasky.
August 20, 201412 yr I want to read This Is Where I Leave You. I saw the trailer today, but I didn't pay much attention to it because I want to read the book first but the trailer reminded me that I really want to read the book
August 26, 201412 yr Does anyone on here use Goodreads? I haven't read any books by Ursula K. Le Guin, but I've heard her books are good. If you like fantasy, I recommend Diana Wynne Jones. She was a wonderful fantasy author. I use it. I try to track how many books I read in a year that way. I was recently loaned "Storm Front" by Jim Butcher. I like it, it's a fun quick read. And right now I'm looking for something a little mindless to escape from my day-to-day life.

I hope you can get into the series. A great deal of it should be in a local library, the series has been going for a decent while.
August 27, 201412 yr i've been meaning to read more classics, but i haven't had the time lately. i've also wanted to read Holes for the longest time and just never got around to getting it. it wouldn't even take too long to read. lol.

A great deal of it should be in a local library, the series has been going for a decent while. I love a long series. :) I tried getting into the Sword of Truth books, but the author's political leanings really got into the way of the story so I stopped at book 8. But so far, I'm really enjoying The Dresden Files and I have a feeling I'll commit to it for the long haul.
September 1, 201412 yr I love GoodReads!! Anyone can feel free to ask for my username and I can post it or forward it along. I have way too many books that I want to read (my to-read shelf at home is stacked, plus others elsewhere), aha. One of my favourite singers (Alan Doyle from Great Big Sea) is releasing his first book in October, and anytime James Rollins releases one... I want it!!
September 13, 201412 yr I am just now reading a book called Feed, written by Mira Grant. I picked it up from the thrift store on a whim, and I have been pleasantly surprised. It is a 'zombie' tale...but, it is cleverly written and attention-keeping. Probably not worthy of a slot on my 'keep' shelf, but, it is an entertaining read! :P
