Have you read any of the books we’re currently reading? Or are you reading something AWESOME right now? Let us know!
What a great list! (I’m embarrassed by the fact I’ve never read some of the classics listed here, but I’m really loving THE BUTTERFLY CLUES!)
Me neither, Julie!! I haven’t read those classics either… :-/ OOPS!
Oh, I keep meaning to read Howl’s Moving Castle. But I keep getting distracted by other books, and I may save my money in Paypal for a giveaway:P
Wow the book Shadowqueen looks kind of kickass. Hmmm, anybody else think the cover looks a bit like the actress playing Cersei Lannister?
Yeah Touched looks pretty cool as well, actually very, very cool. It looks like something out of a John Connolly book
And I have definetly herad of Finikin of the ROck(not entirely sure if its called that) and it’s meant to be bril.
Oh, and I may or may not have cackled when I read that someone finished a Storm Of Swords. It’s very hard not to express my feelings about that book without spoiling:P But did anyway one else find a rainy, feverish hound so depressing? God, almost as bad as the werewolf.
READ HOWLS!!! IT’S AMAAAAZING! 😉
Read FINNIKIN OF THE ROCK! It’s AMAZING! And BRILLIANT! And and and…. just read it!
I love this list — so many wonderful titles!!! We’re having a movie-night birthday party for the oldest girl tomorrow, and what movie did she choose? Howl’s Moving Castle! She would heartily approve of your choice, Sooz!
Huzzah! Your eldest is a smart, smart girl. I heartily approve of HER choice! 😀
I love The Thief! It is one of my favorite book of all time. I definitely just did a re-read this past weekend!
Ack! I KEEP meaning to pick this up. I swear, I’m moving it up in my TBR stack right now…
THE THIEF is one of my ALL-TIME FAVES! Seriously – I re-read that book every year!
A Storm of Swords is my favorite Martin, hands down. Howl’s Moving Castle–good book, GREAT movie. Shadow and Bone = Russian kickbuttery brilliance (and the new book trailer kind of blew my mind.).
I’m reading Nix’s Sabriel, for the 5th time, Little House in the Big Woods, for the ? time, Witchlanders, am almost done with the superb Under the Never Sky, and am itching to start Red Seas Under Red Skies.
SABRIEL. Oh…that series. Oh. My heart. I should’ve put that in my Coverlust post–darn!
I’m reading three awesome books right now. Though I feel like I’ve come late to the party, I’m working my way through The Night Circus, re-reading The Gargoyle, and reading the second book in the Dante Valentine series, Dead Man Rising. I honestly couldn’t pick a favorite right now, and I’m switching between them practically every day.
Ooooh, THE NIGHT CIRCUS. I’ve heard such mixed things about it. What do you think?
Howl Pendragon = my fictional husband.
Thank you very much.
You guys all have AWESOME taste. I’ve read most of what’s displayed (excepting A Storm of Swords and the Anne Bishop book). I just finished the latest installment of the Gallagher Girls by Ally Carter – I seriously started tearing up, no lie – and I’m debating between When the Sea is Rising Red by Cat Hellisen or Rampant by Diana Peterfreund, or both. Also, I have an ARC of Timepiece that’s calling my name.
Decisions, decisions. 🙁
YOU CAN’T HAVE HIM! HE’S MIIIINE!!!
What amazing reads! So jealous of the people reading SHADOW & BONE and BITTERBLUE! Haha. I’m currently reading SPELLBOUND (Hex Hall #3) and loving it. It’s so very fun.
And I just have to mention I LOVE Howl’s Moving Castle. That is an excellent read!
SPELL BOUND! I’m reading that too! Sophie’s snark is just so…so priceless!!
What a great list! I’m sad to say I’ve only read 1 out of the list (“A Storm of Swords” by George R. R. Martin”
But I’ll definitely check out some of the ones you all are reading 😀
You must read HOWL’S!! (Though I’m partial since…I love it. ;))
Wow! Howl’s Moving Castle and The Thief were some of my favorite books growing up! This is a great list!
Ack, again THE THIEF! I must read this book. I am going to the library today. PERIOD.
I’m currently reading FROI OF THE EXILES after gobbling up STARTERS. Both are AMAZING! Jodi, you MUST read Marchetta’s sequal after finishing FINNIKIN OF THE ROCK. Happy reading, Ladies!
FINNIKIN–that’s another one I keep meaning to pick up. I assume by your praise that FROI is just as amazing?
I loved it, Susan! Though I was in denial about being at the end. “No…? No! I have to wait?! Ugh!” Guess there’s no denying the chapter title “Epilogue” lol.
AHHHH! I still haven’t picked up FROI! (I know, I know – FOR SHAME!)
I can’t wait to start reading it! Perhaps I’ll bring it with me to the Bahamas next week :p
Yes, you must!
FINNIKIN OF THE ROCK!!!
*faints*
I always have trouble breathing when I think of that book – it’s just THAT good! Oh, Finnikin…. <3
