What Book is Your Nose in Right Now? 2011
Evernight. I am meh about it right now. I like the concept and the writing is decent, but I don't like Bianca. She's very Bella Swan, twilight, a whimpy, whining, weak heroine. I know she's 16 and that most teenage girls aren't super strong, but I prefer my literary characters to be strong and confident. I hope she grows so she's not so dependent on Lucas, he love interest...
I have not heard the greatest things about those books. However, I cannot concur because I've yet to try for myself.
I keep hearing mixed things. Oh well, I'm more than half way done so might as well finish. I keep hoping it will get better!
I hope the ending with me nicely tied together for you.
Currently reading Lord of Snow and Shadows. A friend was getting rid of some books and gave it to me saying she'd never read it but had heard very good things. Only a couple chapters in and some of it's quite interesting but it hasn't grabbed me yet...

Good! I've been wanting to read The Angel's Game for a while now and finally picked it up at the library last weekend. I finished The Chocolate War today. I now understand why it has been challenged before. Nothing too shocking by today's standards; however, I can see the uproar when it was first published. Interesting characters.
I finished Julie and Julia: My Year of Cooking Dangerously andThe Remains of the Day today. I made a mistake earlier. I don't have The Angel's Game, I have The Shadow of the Wind here to read.

Right now I am TRYING to read Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell....I'm not sure if I can finish it or not. I was really excited about it when I read the reviews, but it seems to be getting more into politics and the French War...Does anyone know if it is like this through the WHOLE book? If so, I'm not going to try to get through all 800 pages...

This book honestly was better then I expected it to be. I bought it with a handful of other books. I think it was the cover that drew me in. I've had it for awhile and the angel theme was calling to me for a few challenges.
I will be reading book 2.

Currently reading: Night Star. haven't had much time lately, but i'm hoping to finish it soon. I'm really liking this series ^^
Working on divine by choice by PC Cast. Took me a few days to finish the first book in this series and I've read a couple since, so hopefully this one won't take as long as the first!

this week and it was wonderful!!! Carlos Ruiz-Zafon is a master storyteller."I LOVED that book! Just recently finished reading his 2nd novel
... HIGHLY recommend it! :D
Currently reading Principles of Angels. It's a sci-fi but not too tech-heavy which I appreciate. Going ok so far but not amazing or anything.
Just about to start The Great Hunt and I'm rather excited! Hoping it's as good as The Eye of the World!

I think I am going to reread Any Witch Wayagain, it was super great, and then go to The Gargoyle Prophecies, Part I, The Savior Rises followed by Heroes of the Valley...aahhhhh, I love my book time!!
Well i just finished Fallen, I'm going to start reading the second for it soon. But before that i just started the Graveyard book. Not sure if i like it yet though.
