Yup, I've read it (LOVED it!!). Pretty sure there's someone else on here who's read it as well. The second book in the series, The Lost Saint, recently came out. I hear it's pretty good.

So... I got Outside In today in the mail. Yay!! Been excited for this book for about a year now. lol I also ordered Throat by R.A. Nelson, Angel's Blood by Nalini Singh, and Iron Crowned (double yay!!). Can't wait to get my hands on Iron Crowned.

I just finished Josie and Jack by Kelly Braffet.
Now I'm starting on Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare.
But I'm also reading Monkey High! Volume three.

I'm reading EVER now also by the same author

yes I am one of those who have talked about it. I loved it and the second book is even better imo!

Almost done with Storm Born. I am LOVING this series. I don't think Richelle could write a bad book if she tried. She is by far my fav author.

Spoiler:

Finished 'Anna and the French Kiss' last night. Fabulous story. I adored it. It was just the sort of fun loving book I could read over and over again.

Started 'Along For the Ride' by Sarah Dessen this morning. So far I'm really enjoying it too.

Only down side to Anna and Along for the ride is that they keep reminding me of Melina Marchetta novels. I REALLY want to reread Saving Francesca, except I don't own a copy of it, I always borrowed my sister's and she took it with her when she moved for work *sigh* I'll have to go searching for my own copy soon and read a different Melina Marchetta novel instead.

reading emily the strange the dark time lol

my reading is real slow going but I'm halfway through the 4th HON book. I"m slowly re-reading the series. At this point, I'm persistent. I was going to give up the re-reading and just read the new one. But after i took my dad to the doctors and we were waiting outside for cab, i seen this girl walking down the block reading the new book. I was sooo jealous because i used to read and walk. But now i can't because when im walking im assisting someone else or lugging bags or something. And I was jealous she was reading the book i've been trying to get too for a month. So stubbornly, I fight sleep and read a few chapters every night. I'm persistent and am determined to do this re-read of the series. I always re-read the series for the latest release. It's an ocd thing i have i guess. I just feel like i'm missing something if i dont lol.

cool! i was thinkg about getting my friend Emily an "Emily the Strange" notebook but i don't no where to find one

Finished 'Along for the Ride'. I loved it! It's such a sweet story, but you feel really connected to the characters because everything feels so real. It's the sort of story you can really lose yourself in. It was my first Sarah Dessen novel and I think I'm addicted...going to have to try a few others in the near future.

Don't know what I'll go onto reading now though...I've run out of new books again *sigh* looks like there''s a trip to the bookstore in order for me.

Make sure you pick up This Lullaby and some BDB!!

Oh but Kim trips to bookstores aren't boring, they're fun cause you get new books

Ash: I'll try to find them both. Apparently the local bookstore is in a bit of trouble though, so I might have to order them online instead.

Rhia: Oh, yes! Of course a trip to the bookstore is fun. The sigh was more because I'd run out of books

Ohh OK

Same here. I used up all my vouchers yesterday just in case I can't later.
Got Matched and some ink.
I go online locally or the book depo for all my book needs. Its sad to think there might not be a physical book store to go to in a while.

Thinking of getting a kobo or kindle or sony reader. Anyone have recommendations on which is better?

Kindle! they're amazing! they don't kill your eyes when you look at the screen, they can hold up to 3,500 books, and you can search for books on it as well

That's right, there's a new zealand store having the same problem, right? Whitcoulls? I think it's connected to our Angus and Robertson/Borders problem. I don't have any vouchers at the moment, but I hear there's trouble with them over here...like you can only use them if you match the price of the voucher (eg. $25 voucher = you have to spend another $25 to use it)

I have a Sony Touch ereader and I love it! Just spent the last 3 days reading books on it, all day. It's pretty cool. There's a bit of a flicker that happens when you turn the page, but after the first couple of page turns you learn to ignore it. I didn't notice it at all reading my last book. It's designed to look like an actual book page, so I haven't had any problems reading for long distances (like glare or strain because of the backlight or anything). I really love it.


Rhia: I would have been tempted by a Kindle, but Amazon doesn't sell their ebooks to Australian residents...I think you're able to buy the Kindle, but not the kindle books....that's not to say you wouldn't be able to get other ebooks from other suppliers, but it does narrow the field a bit. I think that's been my biggest problem with the ereader, finding stores that actually let Australians buy from them. The Aussie bookstore websites are ok, but they have a limited range of books available so far...they haven't quite reached the US availability yet.

I have a kindle and i love it. I recommend it to anyone. However i do note, it's hard for me to use my Kindle. I dont like traveling with it. I'm scared it's going to get damaged in my purse or I'll drop it. Or on the train i wont even take it out. I just feel all eyes watching me and depending on the time and place i dont' think it's smart to flash things around in case someone tries to jack me. So i still read hard copies alot. But i love the kindle and if it wasn't for those issues I wouldn't have a problem with it. And a book light for the kindle works much better then a book like for books.I guess just weigh the options of availability and convenience to you and your location.

Tasha you probably have some irrational fears about using your kindle but then again all those are still possible

Well, the damaging part is a little irrational because i have a case and they aren't as fragile as i imagine in my mind. But the traveling part isn't irrational. I do pass through some bad neighborhoods when on the train. I do live in NYC. And my neighborhood isn't isolated from crime, it happens here and happens often sadly. Plus, when I'm actually commuting using the trains, its at weird times. Like with school- I always was a night student so I wouldn't leave school until almost 10pm most nights. It takes atleast an hour to get home so i used to be out traveling by myself late.

Oh well I live in Erie so crime doesn't happen to often but it can

Re-reading shadow Kissed and the deathly hallows. And trying to finish the first part of the girl with the dragon tattoo, which is so boring...

reading Saving Francesca again I couldn't find it in physical book form today, so I got all angry/book-drepressed and bought it as an ebook instead. I'll keep searching for the physical book form in the future, but at least I can read the book right now.
