    I've toned down my reading a lot since I've been playing games in my spare time. That and I just forget I have a book ni my purse when I'm at lunch or something, and thus can't make any progress. Still on Game of Thrones! I did pull it out to read during the lit previews at the theater I went to today, though. I'd like to finish it by the first so I can move on to something else.

    Not so! More like, if I posted in this thread every time I finished a book, I'd be double posting constantly. xD

    I've finished the tenth and eleventh HoN novels. The final books comes out next October. I'm reading the two (out of four) novellas that my library carries, then I'm moving on to The Ghost Bride.

    I'm currently reading underworld by delillo and i'm like only 30 pages in. there's a lot of baseball lingo because this particular section of the book is based around the famous "Shot heard around the world" game or whatever. I know next to nothing about baseball aside from "hit ball with bat and run" so I am spending more time on wikipedia looking at what a shortstop is rather than reading the book but it seems pretty good so far.

    i am also reading a lot of uni textbooks

    Ohmygoodness I love those books!

    I'm kinda struggling to get through Mostly Harmless. I don't know why, but after the first Hitchhikers book, the rest are kind of a chore to read.

    Still trudging through Chainfire by Terry Goodkind. I don't want to give up on the series just yet; I already have two of the three books I have left to read.

    My friend recommended that I read Rosario Tijeras by Jorge Franco because she thought I'd like the heroine. She found an English translation for it, and now I'm reading that on my phone. Right now, I'm interested enough in it to continue, but I've yet to get reaaaallly into it.

    I was all ready to sit down and get through a chapter of my book during lunch but then I discovered I'd left it at home this morning!

    I am reading Insurgent, the second book in a three book series. It is good.

    Horus Rising and Headtaker are two books I'm moving through with a big ol' grin on my face. Whenever I visit a friend of mine I wind up reading Ender's Game while she grooms me or plays assassin's creed 2, and whenever I wanna think about science fiction I read Armour by John Steakley.

    whenever I'm exceptionally lonely and in the mood I sometimes read the Anita Blake novels. They're like the nintendo power glove, so bad.... it's good!

    Divergent and Insurgent were soooo good, but Allegiant SUCKS. I hope you like it better than I did!

    Finished Dragon's Oath and Neferet's Curse. On to The Ghost Bride! Despite loving the HoN series (although I'm ashamed to admit it...) I'm REALLY glad I can move on to something else now. I've been reading this series for the past 3 weeks.

    I agree that the first two books were much better than the third.

    I also recently saw a trailer for the Divergent movie and... it didn't get me hyped. Like, at all. And I didn't like their casting for Tris or Four.

    I thought their casting for Tris was okay (ugh no, for Four) except the fact that Shailene Woodley is goddamn beautiful, and Tris is supposed to be kind of ugly and plain.

    So is Four, kind of. He's supposed to be more average than the pretty, ripped boy that they chose.

    Hollywood has to be pretty, I guess. I imagined Tris to be blonder, skinnier, and more mousy-looking over all. And I thought Four looks a little too old and too good-looking.

    WHAT IS THIS I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THIS WAS A MOVIE.

    I hadn't even heard of the books until my mom sent them to me because she said the author's writing style is similar to mine.

    Now you guise have me scared to read the third one
