What are you currently reading?

Oh man. I just finished reading Catching Fire and now I'm dying. It's only 16 days left until Mockingjay, but I'm already agonizing over the wait. Again. I'm anticipating the moment I can hold teh lovely in my hands and bring it home with me.

How is Infinite Days Amy? It's on my TBR list.

I finished reading the Wake triology yesterday. It was pretty good. I'm glad Janie decided against her choice. I'd love to read a book about Janie set like 5 or so yrs later just to see how she's doing and handling being a catcher.

Right now I am finishing up The Dark Divine. I checked it out from the library again cause I just couldn't get into it enough last time to finish reading it but now it's getting to the good part. So I'm hoping to finish it today.

I am dying to get my hands on Mockingjay too. 2 weeks from tomorrow!!!!

I haven't really had time to read too much Wilda but from what I have read it's pretty interesting. I still think it's strange how I got it but hey free book. I'll let you know more once I finish reading it.

I've finally finished The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner. It was for me "just OK". I guess I was a bit disappointed with it. The other book I've just finished is the 8th (I think?) Morganville Vampires book. That was alright. And now I've started the second Percy Jackson book. I'm only 2 chapters in, so I can't really give much commentary on it.

Please let me know when you get back, alright?

Lover Unbound

Cry Wolf by Patricia Briggs

I just remembered that I read Jane Eyre when I was 18. That was about four years ago. It's probably the only classic lit novel I ever picked up on my own. I loved it. I didn't have much interest in reading anything other than HP back then, but I managed to read that. It's one of my favorite books.

I haven't read it yet, but I think I will soon. As for the classics, I like Pride and Prejudice as well as Wuthering Heights.

Why is it that when you're required to read something for school... you hate it? lol I had to read Pride and Prejudice as a senior and it was torture. Maybe I just didn't care enough about the assignments to pay attention to the book, but I had to use Sparknotes the entire time to understand wtf was going on. lol I haven't read Wuthering Heights yet. I have the movie though (the one with Laurence Oliver as Heathcliff). I have yet to watch that as well.

As for Jane Eyre... I love it. Maybe it's because the romance in it is just so pure and innocent.

I didn't have to read these books for school (yet) so I was able to enjoy them
I love Wuthering Heights because it's a very unconventional love story and it's quite dark. Really special.

I have the book and I keep meaning to pick it up again. I've started to read it at least three times now. I haven't been able to get into it though. *shrug*

At my HS we didn't have to read the classics unless you were in the AP class. Im glad I didn't ahve to read them cause I hate crap Im required to read. I want to read Pride & Predejuce and Wutherin Heights though. I love the P&P movie with Kiera Knightley in it so that has me wanting to read the book.

I still haven't watched that movie.. I have to find time as soon as possible.

It's good but kinda long. I'm not normally into those kind of movies but I loved it. It's one of my fav movies.

I usually opt for the movies when it comes to classics. I been planning to read Dickens and Hugo for ages. Haven't quite got around to it.
Didn't have to read classics at high school but had to read Shakespeare instead.

I like that book. I think the sequel should be out soon.

13 to life but shannon delany

- i dont recalling anyone mentioning this book around here so i'll just give a quick what it's about- I actually like it. I'm a quarter of the way through. It's young adult, the first book in the soon to be series. The second comes out in feb. It's written in kind of an old school way of story telling- not saying that's bad. Just the only way i know how to describe the writing style. Nothing fancy. Nothing poorly written. But, no individual style of the author. I actually like this story because of that classic feel, with the classic mysterious new guy. It's kind of a big cliche so far. The story follows Jess, a teenager girl living in a small town where nothing ever happens, on a farm, with aspirations to be a writer but traumatized because of her's mother's passing ( no spoilers this is all on the back flap). She's in love with the jock- totally out of her league. She's trying to maintain an average enough life but is assigned the job to be a guide to a new kid who was escorted there by the police. Their antagonistic relationship is classic. It's a good read so far. OH and there is a werewolf on the loose. Are they good or bad no one knows. at least not a quarter way into the book. lol

Sounds pretty interesting And I LOLed when you tacked on the werewolf thing...because of course there'd be some kind of supernatural creature running around scaring the town, haha

I'm reading two books right now, Crimson Moon by J.A. Saare and City of Ashes by Cassandra Clare. I'm almost done with the latter.

That book sounds interesting Tasha. I have to say I was a bit surprised that there is a werewolf in it though cause from the way it sounds I didn't expect it.

I'm currently reading Dead Witch Walking. It's pretty good so far.

Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment

hehe, it was a really good book actually. I wrote a book review about it on my blog (hint hint lol)

i'm reading stolen innocence by elissa wall.. it's a memoir about growing up in a polygamous lifestyle. It's really interesting and kind of shocking to glimpse the inside of the religion and lifestyle.

I finished Infinite Days last night. It was a really good book. Different from other vampire books that I've read. I would denfinitley recommend this book.

Now, I'm reading The Fallen 2: Aerie and Reckoning by Thomas E. Sniegoski.
