I am determined to tackle Mt. TBR, so I am not touching any WL books at the moment. I am trying to get to the point where I have a small TBR of no more than 10 books instead of 80. So, I just finished Kiss Me Kill Me and I loved it! I started Confessions of an Almost Movie Star this afternoon.

I finished Illuminate and it was only okay for me.  Starting Masque of the Red Death by Bethany Griffin

Just finished Bloodrose, the final book in the Witches War/Nightshade series by Andrea Cremer.  My eyes were watering when Ren died.  I was really rooting for him to finally come up with a good way to show his love for Calla.  I really liked the ending, even though it made me sad.

Jennifer, how did you feel about the Hunger Games trilogy?  I liked it all of the way through.  Even though I didn't like the ending, I felt that it ended appropriately.

McKenna, I'm in line for "Scorch Trials" for e-audio at my library.  I hope it becomes available soon!

Jennifer- I am super excited.. I told myself that if I read at least 2 non-WL books, I could start it. I am almost done with book 2 :) I loved the Maze Runner, so I'm hoping this one is as good or better.

Val, if I read correctly, "Rift" is supposed to be a prequel.  It looks like there is a sequel planned for "Rift" called "Rise", according to Goodreads.com.  I'm really excited for it!

I just finished The Goats. It was really good. I am not sure where I heard of it, it had to be here on PBS. I will try to get my 14 yo to read it. It is like Lord of the flies, in a way, and it has often been banned.

just finished He's So Not Worth it...  It was OK.  I listened to the 1st one and enjoyed it on audio more I think.  Ally and Jake are both a bit whiney IMHO.  Finishing up A Beautiful Dark now...nothing new with this one...read the same story in Becca Fitzpatrick's and Lisa Droesher's series...

I finished Frenzy by Francesca Lia Block YA paranormal werewolf book. It was fair at best.  She really could stand to develop more plot.

Just starting Starcorssed by Josephine Angelini. It gets great reviews so I will see how I like it. Has anyone read Starcrossed yet.

 

Terrie I loved Hex Hall and its sequal.

I just got Pandemonium in the mail today, but I'm thinking I'll need to reread Delirium first--it's been awhile since I read it, and I'm a little fuzzy on the details.

i LMAO listening to Beauty Queens McKenna...

I finished The Fault in Our Stars...  Man, I mean, I knew it was going to be sad, but damn, I didn't expect how it happend!  I LOVED it though.  My favorite Green to date! 

Started The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer at work today and i'm 2/3 of the way done with Shut Out.  I love Cash and hope he stays the same the rest of the way through the story!
