I'm about 70% through The Raven Boys.

For the first few pages I was like "yeah, OK... It's not bad, but I don't get what the big deal is." Then it started to pick up. Now I'm loving it, and the only reason I haven't finnished it yet was because it got to about 2:00 am, I really needed sleep, and haven't had time to put my Kindle back on today. LOL!

So glad you're liking it, Victoria! :)

Wasn't that CRAZY, Brigid!! I LOVED it! :)

So to help with my Raven Cycle series hangover, I grabbed something really light to read. . That seemed to work, especially since I had read these novellas before although to be honest, I barely remember reading them. Whoops.

I'm heading out to BookCon in a few hours! So I'm obsessing right now over which books to bring to be signed. ;)

The cover is amazing � I just started this series! Just finished Throne of Glass and purchased Crown of Midnight.

OMGosh...just wait until you get to the end of Crown of Midnight!!! I read those last couple of pages over and over when I read it the first time! I still get chills!

Today I finished my audio of and I really loved it!

Also read today. It was just what I needed to get myself back in this world! Pretty good stories, too. They are both great background info that is helping me a lot in the next book!

Tonight I started for a buddy read, and I'm LOVING it so far!

Also still reading and my reread of

When I finish at least one of these books, I'm going to FINALLY finish ! Darryl's been waiting to watch the movie with me far too long, and I want to read the book first! I'm horrible making him wait :P

I finished my reread of Fire (Kristin Cashore) today, and I thiiiiink I'm going to start The Raven King some time tomorrow if I can find the time!

I finished both and both great reads.

I'm planning to read The Martian soon too. I've been meaning to read it for some time, and it's one of the books of the month on another group I'm on, so I'm hoping to read it before the month is out.

I'm almost finished with . Pretty good overall, I'm definitely glad I gave it a second try!

I am about halfway through , which I won an ARC of through a giveaway on here, and I am really enjoying it thus far, for the most part at least.

I hadn't heart of The Invisible Library, added it to my TBR! Looks good :) I am LOVING Glass Sword!

Just started Shatter Me. A little unsure about it right now but I'm going to power through because it sounded so good. I also added The Invisible Library to my TBR list cause it sounded like something right up my alley.

I've read it twice. One of my absolute favorite books!

Guess who I was with today and we saw Justin Cronin and I got my book autographed? I was with Karen!

Silly us didn't get our pictures taken with him.

So fun!!! Yeah, sometimes you just get so excited, you forget about the picture!! That's happened to me a few times :)

That's always the best, when you end up liking a book you didn't think you'd like or couldn't seem to get through before :)

Huh. I talked about the insivible library non stop when I read it in the fall... Or was thar just to the voices in my head?...huhh..
Well, know you know the importance of the series and how much you should read it next week!
Yes, glass sword was great.

I am reading which is part two of a series. Am listening currently to which is tuning out to be more of a romance than an adventure story so I may leave that one.

I finished 6 stars

starting next.

- My current reads :)

I'm in the mood to read but I'm also sick and lazy, so last night I started listening to . I'm looking forward to listening to more, hopefully tonight!

YAY! I love Strings :) Still need to listen to the audio yet, though!

Strings is a good choice!

Having both read the eBook and listened to the audiobook, I can tell you that it's amazing as an eBook, and even more awesome as an audiobook!

I've finnished The Raven Boys, and loved it. I kind of wish I'd waited until I have the rest of the series to read, because now I'm absolutely dying to read the next book, and have to wait. *pouts*

Since I do have to wait, however, I read The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, and then started The Martian.

I've read three of the four books. Book two, to me, is the best so far in my opinion. Gotta get my hands on that Raven King. The series is great, I just really reeeeeaally hope it ends strong.

I hope it ends strong too. Either way, I'm dying to read the rest of the series, and can't wait until I can grab copies of the other books.

@ Victoria and Tommy:
In my opinion, the series ended fantastic. I can't think of a better way that she could have written The Raven King--it's still one of the best series I've read. And after finishing them all, I will say that book two is the best. :)
When you guys finish, hop on over to the buddy read thread and tell us all what you think! :)

May be a while, but will do :0)

I agree completely with Elora. The Raven King ended a wonderful series on a wonderful note. The more I think about it now, the happier I am with it. The Dream Thieves and The Raven King are definitely my favorites but I adore the entire series.

Will do... Might be a few weeks though, since I need to wait until I can buy copies before I can read them. (Hence the pouting, LOL!)

@victoria....if I were a millionaire, I'd just buy books (and then I'd be broke) :)

Elora wrote: "@victoria....if I were a millionaire, I'd just buy books (and then I'd be broke) :)"

Ditto!

I'd end up living in what would essentially be a library with a small kitchen and bathroom. Oh, and an area set aside for writing, of course. I won't worry about a bed... I'll have comfy reading spaces anyway, so I'll just curl up and sleep wherever I happen to be when I get too sleepy to read any more. ;)

I just finished and it was fantastic - easily a new favorite middle grade novel and a top notch mystery.

I'm still working my way through - I'm about half way through right now and I hope to finish it tomorrow. It's been a crazy weekend and I worked full shifts both days and got roped into staying overtime as well...

Wahoo just finished the dwellers series on audio book for my David Estes reread! So good!!! Now bout to start the country saga!!!!

YES!! Nancy and I got to meet and hang out at BookCon! So much fun!! I JUST got home and I am beat.

But we met Justin Cronin!! And I was fangirling too hard to remember to get a picture. *facepalm* I'll see him again in June, so I'll get pictures then!

Nancy and I did get a picture together with Scott Sigler though. I'll post to the Author Sightings thread sometime this week! :)

No worries Lauren! I'm still working on my read as well, very busy weekend for me too!

Can't seem to finish Crown of Midnight so I am picking up

You're so lucky, Karen!

That's awesome Karen!!!

You went to bookcon?
Lucky,lucky you. So jelly.

@Victoria - I'm so glad you loved The Raven Boys! I agree with Tommy and Elora that book two is probably the best one, and it seems a lot of people feel that way. :D The whole series is brilliant, though! Hope you enjoy the rest of it when you get to it.

@Karen - Omg yes, UnDivided was INSANE. Neal Shusterman truly outdid himself!

@Karen - That is so so exciting! Congratulations!!! Between her books and her social media account, Maggie seems like a great person so I am so happy to hear that she really is!!! That's so awesome that you got to go to BookCon and meet her (and all the others)!!!

How exciting! She and Julie Kagawa are my favorite authors! I love everything she writes!
