I've read the first 5 stories and I'm enjoying the book so far. If you like to read science fiction this would be a good book to read.



Now im about to start reading "The child called It."

Have recently ordered the sequel to the Girl With the Dragon Tatoo, and the first book in the Blood Ties series...hope it lives up to expectations.



I'm going to have to check those out. I'm a sucker for historical (historical fiction, historical fantasy, etc.) novels. Thanks for the rec!
I'm a few hours away from starting "My Soul To Lose" by Rachel Vincent, and "Hold Still" by Nina LaCour. Just finished "Hush, Hush" by Becca Fitzpatrick and "The Adoration of Jenna Fox" by Mary E. Pearson.
"Hush, Hush" was pretty similar to Twilight, but (I think) a lot better. The main character, Nora, is very well aware of the danger that the Leading Boy (Patch) poses, and she's doing her best to stay away and stay safe--but she can't quite manage it. I'm kind of tired of vampires, too, so the fact that Patch was something else (go find out what) was really refreshing.
"The Adoration of Jenna Fox" was just amazing. Futuristic sci fi utopia. A girl who's struggling to find out who she is and how she fits into society. It's not heavy-handed with a theme or message like a lot of utopia/dystopia novels are. And the writing itself was gorgeous. I think I have a fangirl crush on Pearson.
(As well as being a historical nut, I have a thing for young adult literature. In case you couldn't tell.)

Keri, I read the Guild Hunter series pretty recently and enjoyed it. It wasn't my favorite thing I've ever read but it was a refreshing new spin on vampires in my opinion. I take it you've read the Gardella Vampire Chronicles?
