Ok…I went to the bookstore and picked up Till We Have Faces, and read it in about 5 days. i enjoyed it, but the ending was alittle hard to follow.

2. Buying In: The Secret Dialogue Between What we Buy and Who We Are by Rob Walker
3. Jesus for President by Shane Claibourne

Finished reading City of Ashes and it was fabulous. It’s killing me that I have to wait until March 2009 for the last book though.

Currently reading Tantalize and it’s definitely not living up to my expectations. Way too draggy and I don’t really like the characters either. I just want to finish reading it since I spent $18.50 on it and I also want to know who killed Vaggio.

Also reading Goong, a manhwa. The art’s a bit annoying but it’s kind of addicting. The K-drama is awesome too.

So I’ve read The Thief which was great but the Queen of Attolia which is the sequel was terrible, IMO. It almost made me hate the first book and I certainly haven’t read the last book in the trilogy. I don’t want to read about our hero who turns out is a total masochist.

Read City of Bones and Suite Scarlett and they were both really awesome and highly entertaining. Can’t wait to read the sequels.

Tried reading The Book Thief except I hate the way it’s written. It could be the best book in the whole entire world but there’s no way I can enjoy it with that writing style. I’m a little disappointed since it’s supposed to be this amazing story/book…

Her Majesty’s Dog Vol. 4 – 8 were also super fantastic! It’s coming to an end soon though…

Finally bought Tantalize by Cynthia L. Smith and City of Ashes by Cassandra Clare which is the sequel to City of Bones and second in the Mortal Instruments Trilogy.

Currently reading City of Ashes.
