    All Unquiet Things by Anna Jarzab. It's starting out dull and will hopefully become more action-y, but the depictions of the scenery and how it affects the people in Northern California are wonderful. :)

    I loved that book. I'm reading the sequel Pretties right now.

    It's so far a really good book.

    The Book Thief.


    It is really good. The narrator, Death actually makes me laugh sometimes.

    I am now reading Specials by Scott Westerfield. It's the sequel to Pretties. I've only just started it though, so I can't say much about it.

    At the moment I'm reading The Sirens of Titan by Kurt Vonnegut. Pretty slow, but it's okay. Just finished Animal Farm by George Orwell, which was very short but made me go 'wtf'.

    I am about to start City of Ashes by Cassandra Clare.

    It's only now they I got my hands on the second novel, I love the romance in it though, absolutely different, but twisted. So fun!

    War of the Worlds. It's pretty dry in the first chapter of two but it gets better as it goes on. I'm about halfway through it and the whole concept of it intrigues me.

    I just started reading Cirque Du Freak: A Living Nightmare yesterday. I'm almost done with it. I'm enjoying the story, but I dislike the fact that it's clearly written for children :/
    It kind of sounds like I'm being talked down to. Again, still enjoying the story.

    Re-reading through the Harry Potter series to familarize myself once again (also because this summer has been really dull). Right now, I'm on Prisioner of Azkaban. This is one of the best that Rowling had wrote in my opinion. It't darker than the first two but really gets the story rolling!

    I love that series, although I think that this was the weakest of the three novels translated. The third really picks it up story wise and in character developement.

    I am taking my precious, precious time to read Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men, which with my current procrastination I will not finish by the end of this season.

    I did the exact same thing with "It". I literally read it on and off for a year. I could have read it in 3 days if i just focused on it.

    I stayed up until two a.m. finishing The City of Glass by Cassandra Clare. It had a good ending! Most books I've read don't! I thought that it was the end of the series, turns out there's another one coming!

    EDIT: I'm currently reading Pet Shop of Horrors, thanks to a member mentioning it. I don't remember who it was.

    "We Who Are Alive and Remain: Untold Stories from Band of Brothers"

    I'm actually liking this more than Ambrose's book (and this beats Webster's one 6-0) O.o

    I'm now in the 'Memories of Our Fathers'-part. Jeesus Christ, Sobel's part had me crying hysterically, I'm kinda afraid of the mess I'm gonna be after I get through George Luz's part ;___;

    Just finished reading 'The Lost Symbol' by Dan Brown... Really gets your brain going and it's a very good book. (:
