Matched - Allie Condie

Anyone read this yet? This was just what I needed to get myself out of my book funk. Amazing storytelling.

School's Out! And I'm Skipping Town - Several Updates

No More Excuses Right?? --- Wrong!

I am currently enjoying very very much suffering through, the remaining Gossip Girl novels. Luckily they are easy reads and I am flying through them. I don't think they deserve individual blog's same as the Private and Privilege series, so reviews will just have to wait.

That said, I am mid two other books as well.
Paranormalcy - Kiersten White



So far so good, but I had to put it down to finish and return these GG novels that are very overdue.

AND

Beastly - Alex Flinn

 

Has anyone else read this? It is just ok and I might not finish it because my good books are VERY backed up.

What do I mean by backed up? Well, I am leaving the country for a year on my sailboat and therefore will mostly have to stick to ebooks. They take up less space and I don't have to return them to the library. Unfortunately that means I will also have to start paying for my expensive habit but that is ok. So anyways, since the library has a slim selection of ebooks I have to hurry through the non ebooks before I leave and save the ones available as an ebook for while I'm cruising. I will still blog as I have time.

I got this gorgeous book as an ARC in the mail that once I start cruising I am going to read, I am saving it for now, but if it is as good as the cover then God help us, please release the next one asap.

Wither (The Chemical Garden Trilogy) - Lauren DeStefano

N00ky!!!!

I got my Nook this weekend. Oh yeahhhh. My husband won't let me have it until my birthday but I am still v. stoked! I decided on the $149 wifi only version - much as I wanted to splurge on the color one I couldn't rationalize it. Now I just have to figure it out and get books on it! I hope it doesn't take awhile to learn because I do NOT want anything slowing me down from reading!!

Speaking of which, the college semester is winding down, only 1 week to go, then I can focus on what's really important : YA vampires<3 <3 <3

Does anyone else have a nook and have any must-have accessories for it?? I need to cute - it- up


 

Almost to Die For [Vampire Princess Series] - Tate Hallaway

This was a fun read! I was hesitant because it involved witches which I usually stay away from, but it actually turned out really great and I can't wait for the second one. (When that will be IDK but keep me updated!). One great thing about this book that I am a sucker for is dual loves. Which should she pick? Nikolai or Elias?

The Haunted- Jessica Verday

Has anyone read this yet? I am doing this awkward thing where I am forced to put it down to like read a school book or go to work (gasp!) or something else equally not as fun as reading Y.A and then... I have no desire to come back to it. I force myself to though because I am like halfway through and then I am sucked back in and wonder 'how could I have ever thought that' and then I repeat the process. Love, put down, forget, drag ass, start reading again, love. wonder why?

This book is utterly forgettable. So while its a good read, don't stay away from it for any length of time or you might be tempted to not pick it back up again and finish.

Also I am reallly confused because I thought in the first one the author spent a lot of time making her character like you know a major goth. and possibly her twin (see back cover insert thing). Ok So I get that. Slightly overweight, unruly (yet gorgeous curls) and goth. cool. But in this book, I have mention of unruly curls only once so far and no goth mentions. She is wearing white sundresses with like daisy's on them? I can't picture this girl anymore. Maybe that's why this book is so forgettable. idk.

Immortal Beloved - Cate Tiernan

This book was so amazing! I was devastated that on the last page it showed that we would have to wait until Sept 2011 for the next in the series. This is one of my favorites, but having to wait a year is not cool. By then I'll have forgotten how in love with the first one I was. :(

Extraordinary - Nancy Werlin

This book started out strong, a nice good fairy tale that kept me engaged and wanting to find out how it ended, but then I was kind of disappointed at the ending. Anyone else read this and have an opinion? That cover sure is pretty though and I would still recommend reading it.
