We want to know your thoughts.

I'm currently reading Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare. I'm just over half way through it so far and really enjoying it. I'd say if you've read her other series, The Mortal Insturments, and liked it I'd definitely recommend this book to you.

I'm reading , sweet books.

I have a busy September lined up for books to read, but before that starts, I am finishing up and I'd like to squeeze in before Saturday (the 1st and when all my other reads start). I can't offer up any opinions just yet, but I'll keep ya'll informed.

Kate? I haven't read the Halo series yet, but my problem with YA novels is the teen angst thats in a lot of them. I just tried to read one...Nevermoreand for me, it was awful. Typical cheerleader, teen angst, mysterious boy vs. mean current boyfriend...it was just terrible for me. Is the Halo series different from that? That's the make it or break it for me. What do you think?

I'm currently reading by Nancy Lee Parish

I haven't seen that one before. Is it any good so far?

Is it written like a fairytale at all?

Thanks for the input Kate. :) I'm glad to hear what you said. I'll get around to the series soon although it's not a rush for me. :)

I'm still pushing through which I am determined to finish in the next day or so since I have so many books on my plate for September.

A lot of farytales I've read aren't all that happy. And the original ones weren't either. They're quite dark, but I like them.

I'm now reading Fifty Shades Darker by E.L. James. So far, so good.

Reading Louise Penny's latestThe Beautiful MysteryI love this series

I'm reading . Not really liking this book as much as the other books in the series.

Well, I finished the book...eh, not so great a book if you ask me. I've started which, so far, is delightful. Next up, is our read for here which I'm looking forward to.

I am reading the following: , and . Enjoying them all so far.

Just finished , it was a lot better than I thought it would be.

Thanks for the heads up Sue

I am reading The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks - thoroughly enjoying it.

I am now reading .

I just finished Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare. Really liked it and can't wait to continue the series.
I think I'm going to go back to reading The Forgotten Garden by Kate Morton now and see if I can finish it.

I dunno if I'm going to be able to get in The Forgotten Garden before the end of the month or not. I'm really trying but I've got other obligations. My time got away from me this month.

Heather? The second book in that series, Clockwork Prince...is hands down one of my favorite books of all time. It's so much better than Angel. I was not that big a fan of Angel but Prince? Oh my gosh...loved it!

I want to get into that Kate. I've heard such good things about that author and both of the series. I gotta read those!

Trying to finish up by Chad Harbach I'm having a hard time getting into this book. Its not bad just not keeping my attention. Also started by Fannie Flagg

I gotta do it Kate! Carrie? Have you read any Fannie Flagg books before? I've always wanted to but never have. You'll have to let me know how you like the book.

I just started Jessica Rules the Dark Side by Beth Fantaskey yesterday.

No I haven't read any of her books before this is my first. Will let you know what I think. So far its very good.

I have just finished . Wow, what a fantastic read.

I am just about to start . I have never read anything by this author, so it should be interesting. Definately not something I would normally pick up.

I finished and I'm reading by Max Lucado, by Ted Dekker and by Walter Mosley.

I am reading and . Hope to finish them by the end of the weekend.

I started reading The Help today. This mainly because I wanted to see why the book was so popular. Yes I know it's not so new now but I'm reading all of the books I wanted to read when i was in grad school....so here I go! Please share your views if you'd like :) also, how do you paste the book covers in your comments? That's pretty cool!

How is it so far?

Would you recommend it to others?
- of course.

Finally picked The Forgotten Garden by Kate Morton back up. Haven't read since the semester started.

Finally I finished reading this book. I think the best part of the book is the comments the author made at the end of her book. She talked about "The Help" her family had. To me,it sounded as if she was redeeming herself some kind of way by writing this book. Yes it's fiction, but even in fiction, I find it hard to believe that in Mississippi in the '60s a white woman was able to secures job for a black domestic worker writing a newspaper column. Maybe in some strange way this did happen, I find it hard to believe. It sounded as if she was trying to hard. Overall, it was a decent work of fiction.
