No, not yet. I'm waiting for the library to get it back.

Laur, what do you think of Blue Bloods so far?

Laur, and what did you think of The Dead and The Gone... it looks interesting!

I read Blue Bloods awhile back. I can't remember anything about it! My memory is horrible. I don't retain anything. I know I liked it enough to read the second one. And Revelations is on my TBR list. Hope you enjoy it.

I enjoyed Blue Bloods. The Van Alen Legacy (the 4th book in the series) comes out Oct 1 and I intend to read it right away.

I liked Blue Bloods, I still haven't read the sequels though.

Ohhh, thanks for the scoop, Linda Grace!

I though it was really good. Well written, the story line, the main charters, all great I highly recommend it.

So far it doesn't seem to bad.

I've rated it as 5 stars, too. What a great book! It's so thought-provoking, too, which I never really expected.

I'm reading The Game by Diana Wynne Jones.

oooo I hope you like it! I thought it was great, I actually wish it had been longer.

The Dead and the Gone - fantastic, although I actually liked Life As We Knew It better. I can't wait to read the third one! I personally didn't like Blue Bloods, but I gave the series another chance and read the second. I won't be reading any of the others.

I just finished two books - Amor and Summer Secrets by Diana Rodriguez Wallach, and Dreamhunter by Elizabeth Knox. Amor and Summer Secrets was a fun read about a half-Puerto Rican girl who must come to terms with her roots when her father sends her to island of his birth for a summer. Dreamhunter took about 200 pages to take off, and right up until the end I thought I would give it 4 stars. After it ended, I gave it 5. It's technically more like the first half of a really long book, so I'm glad I already have the "sequel" on my shelf.

I'm starting Anne of the Island tonight and I've also been listening to the audio version of I Am the Messenger.

Finished The Waters & the Wild and Warrior Princess, so now I'll be reading either ghostgirl or Vacations from Hell, or both most likely.

Ooohh... enjoy the I Am the Messenger audiobook! I really really liked it. The Aussie accent was fabulous!

I borrowed two interesting looking YA books today (I say, in my fabulous Aussie accent :), The Declaration by Gemma Malley, and Shadow Web by N. M. Browne - anyone read either, by any chance, and know what I'm getting myself into?

Along with my other reads, I'm going to reread Twilight. I read it quite awhile ago and I really feel that I went too fast. I don't remember much, so in order to continue the series I feel that I should give this a reread. It should be fun.

On my June reading list, I have the following YA books:
The Calder Game by Blue Balliett
Pendragon by D.J. MacHale
Princess Academy by Shannon Hale
The Sea of Monsters by Rick Riordan

I'm not sure if I'll get all four read, as I have a lot of adult fiction and a couple of non-fiction I'm trying to get to, too. Right now, I'm reading Silent On The Moor by Deanna Rayborne, a victorian mystery.

I am about to finish up AngelMonster and it's much better than I anticipated. It's a fictional tale of Mary Shelley's teenage years, mostly revolving around her marriage to Percy Shelley. I am really enjoying it but her life was very dark and sad. It makes me want to read a biography and learn the actual details. Not sure how much of this story is based on fact.

I'm now reading I Capture the Castle for task 10.2.

I'm reading Graceling and listening to The Fellowship of the Ring.

I'm really enjoying the book, it's very good so far.

I read The Declaration when it came out. I think I expected too much from it, but I was pretty disappointed. I also didn't know there would be a sequel, so maybe that adds to it, but I didn't feel it was a strong stand alone book. I think there are better books of that type out there.

Crap, Fiona, I can't believe I left off I Capture the Castle from my June list. It's on there, honest. You gotta believe me.

I'm starting Vacations from Hell tonight. :)

Thanks, Alexis, I've just started it and it's ok so far... incidentally, I've already finished Shadow Web, it really gripped me; I loved the idea of the alternate 2008 London.

I just read the blurb for Shadow Web and it sounds really good! I'll have to keep an eye out for it.

Fiona, so far I'm loving ICTC!

If You Come Softly by Jacqueline Woodson.

Now I am gonna read Beauty - Robin McKinley.

I'm reading Need and thinking it very Twilight-esque.

About to start Graceling...

thanks for linking it: ) got pretty good reviesw, added it to my read shelf

I just ate it up. :)

I'm reading Harry Potter and The Sorcerer's Stone.

I'm buried under paperwork and listening to The Mysterious Benedict Society. I was hoping to read some of The Book Thief tonight, but it's not looking good. I also wanted to start Bras & Broomsticks.

Ugh...Too many books, not enough time. :-(
I planned on starting Hunger Games tonight... Until the library called. Both Enna Burning and The Book of Lost Things were ready for pickup. I love tough decisions like "which book should I read???". Why can't all the hard questions be like that?

I'm about to start Howl's Moving Castlefor the first book of task 25.4.

Beth wrote: "I'm about to start Howl's Moving Castlefor the first book of task 25.4."

I just read that book last month. It's very good, I hope you enjoy it.

I finished The Declaration, and I have to agree with you, Alexis, it was disappointing. I didn't really care about the two main characters, and that never bodes well...

Thanks Eden, Howl's Moving Castle looks like one of those books I won't be able to put down.

Started reading Twilight last night...it's a first time read for me, and I figured I'd see what all the hype was about. I have to admit, I'm hooked!

w00t! I need to read Twilight again...

Fiona, have you read Castle in the Air too? I want to read it after Howl's Moving Castle for task 25.4. Is there a third one? Because of course I'll want to read that one too.

I am reading A Curse Dark as Gold.

Finally started Bras & Broomsticks and am halfway through the audio of The Mysterious Benedict Society.

Just starting The Goose Girl.

Let me know how you like it, Kandice. I have had it on my shelf for a while and need to get to it.

I'm now reading House of Many Ways...

I loved The Goose Girl! ENJOY!!
