For those of us who like to read, feel free to share what you have been enjoying in your reading lately.

i have been enjoying fantasy books lately but, on June 20th [ the first day of summer] I will be reading summer romance books along with fiction sport books.

i'm reading alot of history books, british history to be infact and the one that i'm reading right now is "THE WAR OF THE ROSES by Alison Weir, which is very good so far

I will be buddy reading uglies with a person on good reads.

That is on my to-read list! Hope you're enjoying it!

I been reading Destiny and percy Jackson series!

I'm reading mostly things by Kevin Follett. I'm in a lull though in my reading.

I adore historical fiction so I devour his stuff.

I'm reading the keepers series and I'm finishing the night world series.

Just started The Stand by Stephen King. It's good but REALLY LONG (over 11,000 pages)! I've been getting more into adult books instead of YA just because I needed a change of pace. And I finished a few days ago Looking for Alaska by John Green, which was incredibly sad and I don't suggest it to anyone that gets upset easily

@Zach: I think that should be Ken Follett, not Kevin.

I'm rereading The Shining by Stephen King just in time for the sequel, Doctor Sleep, which comes out this week! I've read many short story collections this year, but am taking a break. I almost always look forward to a new novel by King.

I am reading My Beating Teenage Heart by C.K. Kelly Martin and Fallen Angel by Heather Terrell.

I am currently reading The Book Thief

Just started The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck. I'm dreadfully backward in classics.

Just started the book thief, posion, the secret circle series, I am number four,Insurgent, a break for charity.

I had a professor who once told me that if I want to be a young adult author to go back and read all of the "foundation" novels of young adult. I've been trying to do that lately, (I've been using the Caldecott list) but I have really enjoyed the Alan Bradley Flavia de Luce novels. So spunky and fun and lighthearted!

I really need to read the Book Thief before the movie comes out!

Just started rereading The Fault in Our Stars by John Green.
That is the book for our review contest! If you're interested, check out the topic under "Book Suggestions"

I'm currently reading House of Secrets, and the four book of Harry Potter.

I'm reading The Fault in Our Stars {like, right now}, Allegiant {on page two hundred something} and Clockwork Angel {about to...}.

Currently just reading some things my mom has bought for her nook. Right now: Bellman and Black by Dianne Setterfield
Next: The Ocean at the End of the Line by Neil Gaiman

Blue Star Over Amritsar , by Harminder Kaur

I am now reading Raven's Gate, {finished TFIOS, Allegiant and Clockwork Angel already} but I'm about to be finished with it, so it's either Percy Jackson series next or the Lair, Champion and The Fifth Wave? Suggestions?

Percy Jackson

Okay. I'll start on that once I'm finished with The Lair (I started reading it already). :)

I just finished the Confessions series by James Patterson. Have any of you read it before?

I'm on the last book of the Titanic trilogy by Gordon Korman. I really love his writing, and I've only read five books by him so far!

I read the first book of Confessions, but not the second one yet.

Does manga count?

I'm reading Speechless by Hannah Harrington

I'm finally getting aliens to World War Z (completely different from the movie) and we're reading The Great Gatsby in English soon.

Cool.
