Reading . It's okay. I'm not as hooked into it as I was the first book in the series.

What Happened To Polly - Jennifer Hanning

I'm reading Lord Loss. A good kid's book with lots of disturbing descriptions.

I'm reading and absolutely loving it!

You Cannot Be Serious by John McEnroe

Finished and . Getting ready to start today. It was a random book that I picked up at the library.

I'm reading twelve things at least. Liking The Diviners, by Libba Bray, loathing Crime and Punishment (book club), about to start At Home by Bill Bryson ( book club as well). Want to get back to How to be a Woman, by Caitlin Moran.

I've got 3 books going... Sleepless which is ok so far but I'm not expecting a 5 star book, Between Shades of Gray which is such a depressing book but good at the same time, and Pushing the Limits which I can't put down!

I loved Pushing the Limits, and when I read it, I couldn't put it down, either!

I finished Lord Loss and will start Demon Thief and Extras.

It's an audiobook, so I have to keep shhh-ing my family while I listen and cook dinner! :)

I've been rereading the Anne of Green Gables series.

I need to reread those books. I loved them so much as a kid.

I just finished Maria Snyder's A Touch of Power. A gripping story that I read in a day. The writing could have been richer and more adventurous.

Okay, I'm on to 3 new books:
An Abundance of Katherines by John Green
Cinder by Marissa Meyer
From Where I Stand by Tabitha Suzuma

Haven't started any of them yet, but I'm hoping it's a good mix of action/drama/comedy. I hate when I choose more than one serious book to read at the same time.

I finished Slawter, Bec, and Blood Beast.

I've started Extras again. So far I'm liking the story more than I did the 1st time around.

Reading . It's book two in a three book series.

That's interesting, Paula. Extras was my least favorite of the series. I wonder if I'd like it better a second time around.

Angela, An Abundance of Katherines was one of the first YA books I read when I got hooked several years ago, and it's terrific. Pretty much all John Green books are!

Angela, I think I don't hate Extras like I did way back when I first started the story. It seem to be an add on to the trilogy, didn't belong. Extras is my least favored of the Uglies books, but not 'throw it against the wall' type of book. I do believe I'll like it well enough. Though the story is over 400 pages, may get tired of the superficial and shallow people.

I'm a little nervous to start it, actually. I'm one of the only people alive who didn't like Looking For Alaska, which is the only other John Green novel I've read. My fingers are crossed!!

I loved the whole pretties series, but Extras was a little hard for me to get through. Didn't enjoy it as much.

Angela, I never even finished Looking for Alaska! You should read Will Grayson, will Grayson. And also The Fault in Our Stars.

Oh! I did read TFIOS, and I thought that one was great. I'd forgotten that was John Green! Whew! :)

I'm currently reading Clash of the Demons by Joseph Delaney.

I am listening to Cinder. At first the cyborg thing threw me off, but now I'm cool with it. To me cyborg is human.

That's my take also. Androids are robots, cyborgs are humans with prosthetic parts/implants.
I'm enjoying the audio version, but I always wish I could see how names are spelled :)

This week I'm reading true stories by teens published by Zest Books. I just finished Regine's Book, about a girl from Norway who kept a blog during her fight with cancer. The book compiles all those posts and adds extras. Next up will be Zoo Station, about a girl from Germany who struggled with drug addition. Quite the contrast in attitudes!

You can read my review of Regine's Book here:

Hi Amy. If you put only the picture of the book we have to click on it to know what it is, unless we already recognise it....
Hope you enjoy the book. Alan.

If you hover over the picture, you can see the name.

You are right, Amy. Thanks. I didn't know that. Alan

I'm currently reading Devil's Footsteps by E.E. Richardson.

I am reading by Julia Crane.

I'm reading Gone Bitch: A Parody of Gone Girl
after reading Gone Girl

I finished The Fault in Our Stars which I actually enjoyed. Now I'm reading The Thickety: A Path Begins, which seems interesting.

I just finished Wonder and couldn't put it down. I've started on If I Stay and also loving that :)

Just finished 'Turn To Me.' It's kind of a 'Freaky Friday' meets ancient Greece.

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire by J.K. Rowling

Just starting The Storyteller by Antonia Michaelis.
