| As of right now I have 24.5 hours to finish. I haven't read anything today. *fail* I just wanted to get it out of the way so that I could start the next month fresh. I guess we'll see whether I finish it by 12:00 AM July 1st. lol | |

| I still have those four NH books to read... and then Kate Daniels #1 and Immortals After Dark #1... I've also got a bazillion books on my bookshelves and an audiobook to finish. I probably shouldn't be buying anymore books since I've got so many already. lol | |

| For the first time in ages I'm not in the middle of a series. Well I am but I have months to wait for the sequels.
Which of the following series should I start first: Shiver, Nightshade or Morganville? | |

| Ash: Oh yeah, you should finish NH first. I've got 30 pages to finish Mencheres's book...I had only 100 this morning and now it's almost 6pm and I still haven't finished it. I found it got a little boring towards the end.
Ooo, tough choices Libby. I would vote for either Morganville or Nightshade. If you start morganville you'll be in it for a while. After bk 3 you just get sucked in. But Nightshade's sequel, Wolfsbane, comes out in a couple of weeks. So there's less of a wait for the next one (which you'll desperately want). | |

| Libby, I like all 3 of those series. The 3rd and final book in the Shiver series comes out in a few weeks along with Nightshade's sequel. As for Morganville, there are currently 10 books out with the 11th due to release in November.
Kim, I have the same problem right now. I have 6 library books to get read along with 4 books I've recently bought and 2 I've had for a while that I have yet to read. One is an ARC I got in March. The book came out in April : /
Bite Club (Morganville 10) | |

| Kiss of Death is book 8 m' dear. Ghost Town is 9 and Bite Club is 10. Last Breath 11 releases Nov. 1st.
I'm having a bit of trouble getting through BC. Shane is pissing me off and I keep putting the book down b/c of it. But then a little bit later I pick it up again cause I can't stay away from it : / | |

| Sorry tired, But I'm trying to think up other nicknames for myself. If I can I'll be one LB when it comes out because the series is addictive. But anyways, if my first name's Rhiannon and if you take the ending off of my last name it's Martin what could you come up with? I don't think you could do anything with my middle name since it's only 4 letters. | |

| Wilda: I won an ARC on goodreads the other day and it arrived in the mail on like Tuesday. (it was an Aussie only comp, so it get to me quickly) So I sort of feel like I should read it really soon...but after finishing 'Eternal Kiss of Darkness' I need to read something I know I'll love. So I settled on 'Wither'. I'll read my ARC next, I doubt it'll take too long | |

- Kim what's ARC?
Not Kim, but an ARC is an "advanced reader copy". They are the softcover galleys of books that sometimes circulate to reviewers and others before the book is edited for typos and published in its final form. Usually only people within the publishing industry get them because they want feedback and to create hype for the upcoming novel. It will usually say on the front cover that it is an "uncorrected proof" and "not for sale". Congrats Kim!! Which ARC did you win? | |

| 'The Language of Flowers' by Vanessa Diffenbaugh. According to goodreads, It's about an 18 year old who no longer meets the requirements to be kept in foster care. Homeless and alone, she starts growing flowers and helps people express themselves through them. It sounds pretty emotional and my mum said she read about it in a local paper a few weeks ago and thought it sounded interesting, so I'm looking forward to reading it.
I just had a good giggle on goodreads when I saw it's release date: August 23. Seriously, what's with that date being such a big one for book releases? | |

| Sounds cool. Hope you enjoy it. Yeah I don't know what's so special about August 23. All I know is I'll be starting school that same week. *fail* Definitely not going to be able to make it through all those books before homework starts stacking up. | |

| Ohhh....gomen for the mistake. I don't think it'd be very good for me to get a ARC because instead of getting angry about mistakes, I don;t even notice them because I automatically correct them.
Hope the books good Kim.
Ash, I don't know when I'll be starting school but I do know that if they forget to send my schedule again I'm gonna be a bit p.o.'d | |

| I haven't read Delirium, but Inside Out was one of my favorite books last year!! It got me into more of Maria V. Snyder's other books (Poison Study was pretty awesome as well). In a lot of ways Trella (the main protag of Inside Out) reminded me of Katniss and Rose. Oh, and Riley was way too freaking adorable. I'd definitely say try it out. | |

| Like Ash I've only read Inside Out, but I don't think I enjoyed it as much as she did. It was a good book, but I didn't find it as powerful as other dystopias I've read. I really want to read Delirium though. | |

| Okay......I'm slightly confused since I've never heard of either until now.
Would someone care to explain and maybe un-confuse my mind? | |
