[Pound Foolish]

I just read The Inheritance Cycle through for the second time. Again I'm reminded of how much I love the characters, and again I'm reminded of HOW MAD I AM ABOUT THE ENDING

Eesh. I keep hearing foreboding things about that ending. Fingers, toes, arms and ears crossed it's not as bad as people seem to warn.

I literally only finished Mockingjay yesterday, I promise not to spoil it for you.

Hah! Wow, well, we all go at our own pace. Isn't HG brilliant?
I actually have only read the first two Divergent books, hopefully I'll get around to the third, I do like them a lot. I'm not sure I'll ever get to Maze Runner or Fifth Wave or anything though, I think I'm finally boarding the getting-over-dystopia boat.

I started Do Hard Things by Alex and Brett Harris.

[Stella C.]

Hmmm I haven't read for fun in such a long time. I legit just finished the last book in the Cinder series, Winter, even though I started it at Christmas.

[Helios]

I started Do Hard Things by Alex and Brett Harris.

You're only starting that now? And you call yourself a good Christian girl!

Black Butler volumes 13-19. Edward Midford is awesome. Also, now I know how to play cricket. And "taking a wicket" makes so much more sense. Thank you, Baldo.

My mom bought me a copy of Anxious for Nothing by John MacArthur. I'm looking forward to reading it, what with me feeling like I'm having an existential crisis every other minute these days. ^_^;

[Miss Friendship]

I just finished Surprised by Christ, a book the Priest at the church I'm currently attending, wrote.

[Mickey]

I just got into the series, The Quest for Truth, by Brock Eastman. They are really good!

[Helios]

Comic books. I read comic books. I am such a child. I lived through the deaths of Billy and Snake-Eyes in one night. It. Was. GUT-WRENCHING. Curse you, Larry Hama. *shakes fist* Also, Aeternus Mallum. Forever Evil. In which Lex Luthor is somehow cooler than Batman. "And I've just discovered something that will change...everything. Bruce Wayne is Batman." New 52, you have done many horrible things, not the least of which is Harper Row, but this....this was gold. Pure gold. So much gold.

I just got into the series, The Quest for Truth, by Brock Eastman. They are really good!

Oh my goodness. OH. MY. GOODNESS. This series is awesome! SOOO GOOOD!!! *faints* I will never look at the name Snookums the same way again.

[Miss Friendship]

I'm reading Divergent right now... what kind of book is it anyway? Does it have fans?

[Helios]

Does it have fans?

*laughs hysterically*

Your naivety is refreshing.

But yeah, it's like one of the big ones, like Hunger Games. They made movies out of it.

[Mickey]

Wow glad I found someone who likes them, I don't know if I can wait fro HOPE to come out! I'm borrowing them from a girl and she said TANGLE ends in a big cliffhanger!

[Helios]

Oooo! I can't wait to read Tangle! I've got only the first two books, and I've read like the first two chapters of Unleash. One thing I love about the books is that the weird names and phrases are all Latin/German mixes. (I love the German language, so I totally fan-girled over that). I think Brock Eastman is a really cool author to use it in his stuff.

[Mickey]

I agree I think Latin Greek, and German make good names for this genre of writing! I am almost finished with Unleash, and I love it!!!
