What is everybody reading these days?
What are you...

What are you reading?  What book did you just finish?

I'm not as crazy about it as I was Divergent.  It's the kind of book that you like well enough but get sidetracked without feeling too guilty...

Yesterday I read all of Peter Pan in Scarlet in a panic when I realized the next day (today) I was supposed to have read an entire book of fiction over Christmas break (The only book I started during break was Allegiant and another non-fiction book) and we had checked out books from the library for that specific purpose so I read it all.

Today I started re-reading The Sherlock Holmes Handbook because I like to read books without much brain requirement during breakfast.

Paper Towns has different meaning for me, as a book. All the stuff about the strings, I can relate to it now.

Ohh, I LOVE LIW!!!!!!!!!!! Did you know that there are books about her mother, grandmother, great grandmother and daughter? Look them up.

I highly recommend them!! They aren't written by Laura, but have the same feel.

Finished Keeper of Lost Cites (AWESOMENESS!!!!!!) and am currently reading . . . um, I forget the name. Those three books the movie Rise of the Guardians was the made after (the movie with the really cute Jack Frost. Yes, that one.)

Guardians of Childhood?

I finished Allegiant and HOLY SHMERG, that ending.  It was rather refreshing for a dystopia trilogy ending, though.  And there were minimal amounts of deaths, which is always a nice change.  The ending was definitely good.

I read all of There is No Dog by Meg Rosoff and started Pretties, but am not very far into it because SHAKESPEARE MASTER CLASS STARTED TODAY HUZZAH!  Including the most awkward scene I've ever acted, but still.  Super happy.

Spamster in his spamster cage says piwk.  Pinkwater?  Yes!

Who-ology

No, it's not. It's really badly written, but the idea is good. I think I ranted about it on the Dislike of Popular books thread

 

Hey, this feels like kind of a jerk move to me, but could you change your name? It confuses me to have 'the Doctor' also posting, so I think I posted something but can't remember it. It also could confuse other people on the CB. But if this was your name first, I'm fine with changing mine. Thanks. Sorry again, cause that whole thing felt like it was kinda rude to me.
