What are you reading? (Book Recommendiations)

I get to double post only because I'm an Admin and I'm cool like that. And the fact that this post has been dead for 5 days helps.

I finished my summer reading list book #1. And no. It didn't get any better. It was actually really awful and hard to read. I'm not a person who's bothered by like sex in books and stuff, but all the shit in this severely bothered me. I really hated it. So yeh, my advice to you, do not read Snow Falling On Cedars by David Guterson.

Oh, and I'm about to start Masquerade by Melissa de la Cruz right now

Tegan,
Masquerade is the second books in the Blue Blood series. They're all vampires. They have an orginization similar to the Volturi but nowhere near as powerful or important. Basically, they're all vampires who are immortal, but they do so by reincarnation. They have memories from all their lives, and when they begin their transformations at 15 they start getting all the memories back and learn to control their powers.But they are most defenseless from 15 - 21 when their changing. And now these things called Silver Bloods or Croatans or Lucifer's minion - y peeps are hunting them. They don't feed on Red Bloods but instead they feed on other Blue Bloods. Blue Bloods take human 'familiars' on whom they feed regularly. Theres a lot to it, but their really good.

In Masquerade they're all faced by the possibility of Silver Bloods popping up again after several Blue Blood kills the past year. And Jack and Schuyler are in a weird twisted romance that's not supposed to happen because Jack is supposed to be faithful to his twin sister in this life, Mimi.

That was not a very good description but you get some of the basics.

Gone by Michael Grant

I just finished reading it yesterday. It's the first book out of supposedly six. Really good, I recommend it.

It's probably on here already, but w/e. I just read Elsewhere by Gabrielle Zevin. (The book isn't in front of me, so I don't know if the name is spelled right). Omfg, that book was good. I read it in a day.

Now I'm reading Tithe. I didn't know if it would be good, 'cause it started off slower than I expected, but now I'm really into it.

Loved Tithe, and Valiant ... and Ironside.

Just finished A Great and Terrible Beauty, and Rebel Angels. Currently working on The Sweet Fat Thing. For those of you haven't read/ heard of them, its the Gemma Doyle series and they're by Libba Brey. Oh yeh, and they're fucking awesome.

No we don't. We all get to edit our last post if we have something to add-even if it is an emergency! There is no reason to allow double posting under any circumstances since there is not time limit to how long after posting you can edit posts.

I've just started Bitten so I wouldn't reccomend it yet, but watch this space.

That's recent, Ben. Or, at least, it never used to be a big thing. I know that people aren't meant to double post now.

Madame Bovary by Gustave Flaubert was a very insightful book. It's a classic about a wife trapped in a...boring marriage. It's interesting.

Edit-Ben: Actually it's always been a rule and it's also always been common sense. Some people just ignored it because they wanted to boost their post count. The only difference now is that we're enforcing the rules better.

Edit - Tegan: Either way, you don't need to warn me. I get it

WOO! Ka-ching Ka-chang for enforced rules.

The Merlin Conspiracy, by Dianna Wynne Jones. I think I suggested it to Ben, once, but I gave a really bad summary. XD

She's, like, a legend in fantasy writing. It's amazing.

Also The Barimeaus Trilogy, by Jonathan Stroud.

It's long, very long, but the story (and what you get out of the story) is so incerdibly worth it.

I jut finished reading "Wicked Lovely" by Melissa Marr. It's amazing Good book, good book....

is it? I've heard about it, but I wasn't sure if I should read it.

I just finished reading 13 Reasons Why by Jay Asher and now I'm reading The Book Thief by Marcus Zusak

It is, and you should.

I just finished "The Summoning" by Kelley Armstrong not too long ago. It's the first book of a series called "Darkest Powers".

i'm reading The NOtebook right now, so far its an pretty good book....

I just finished Nick And Norah's Infinite Playlist by Rachel Cohn and David Levithan
Now I'm sorta reading The Book THeif by Markus Zusak
