Currently working on Big Day Coming by Jesse Jarnow. Great book on the band Yo La Tengo, and other things happening in the "indie" rock music culture.

Dork Diaries by Rachel Renee Russel.
Currently I'm reading the Mysterious Benedict Society series by Trenton Lee Stewart.
I have a little addiction when it comes to books. When I finish the first chapter aka the 'point of no return' I tend to zoom right through the book.. I can finish a whole book in an hour. I speed read and if I liked it a lot, I read it again.. a little bit slower.

Currently reading Catching Fire. Finished Hunger games a LONG time ago, before the movie came out. Just now got to starting the second book in the series. Amazing series if you've never heard of it, the next movie should be out soon too.
Also, not what I'm currently reading, but a long time ago I read a series by Angie Sage called the Septimus Heap series, which is kind of like Harry Potter, but not as confusing. I was in middle school at that time, yet it was an elementary school book supposedly, and I still liked it. It felt like I was actually there. I've read all the books in the series, even the bonus book (Unless they've released more now):
Magyk
Flyte
Physik
Queste
Syren
Darke
Bonus Book: The Magykal Papers
(They spell everything wrong in the titles only on purpose)
I recommend it to anyone who has read the Harry Potter series, the Avalon series, or the Lord of the Rings series.

Gizmodo - I've never been a huge fan of Wuthering Heights, but Jane Eyre is one of my favorites. I tend to read that once a year or so.
ACE - I've seen the Septimus Heap books, but haven't tried them. Maybe I should give them a try.
I've finished reading Mary Stewart's Arthurian books, as well as Watership Down, which I loved! I've picked up a couple of new Kindle books, so I might read some of them. One is the third in a series based in Salem, MA by Heather Blake. The book is called The Good, the Bad, and the Witchy. I really enjoyed the first two, so this should make for an entertaining evening. I've also gotten hooked on some comics and am catching up on them in the collections. It's the Archie: The Married Life series.
I thought it would be a nostalgic trip back to something I enjoyed when I was a little girl, but I really liked the stories. Making the characters adults gave them a whole new set of things to deal with, many of which I can totally relate to. Anyway, it'll be a fun series to follow.
Next month is Mystery Month for my read-along. I have an Agatha Christie and a Ngaio Marsh book lined up. I'm really looking forward to September, which is Non-fiction Month. For that, I have Eats Shoots & Leaves (awesome book!) and Harmony, which was written by Prince Charles. I've actually had that one for a while and will be sitting down to read it then.

You HAVE to find time to read them. They are so amazing, and it's Angie Sage at her best. I don't think age really matters with this book, even though it's in the kids section at my library. If you don't know what it's about or haven't read the summary on the back, here's what it says (what I remember).
Septimus Heap, the seventh son of the seventh son, went missing one day. A small, baby girl was found in the snow one day by the Septimus Heap family. Could these events be related somehow? The Septimus Heap series creates a fantasy world the reader will be sucked into, taking them on adventures with the Heap family through the different books. Angie Sage has clearly mastered the art of a beautiful, magical, real-seeming adventure that will leave readers wondering what will happen next for hours on end.
I'm reading a biography on Frank Lloyd Wright, an amazing architect. He designed Fallingwater, if anyone is familiar with it.

i really just love anything John Green writes. i read his book The Fault in Our Stars about a girl with cancer. John Green is the sort of writer that really makes you think about people. and reading just one of his books puts you on a rollercoaster of emotion.

Sold! I've never worried about reading books that were marketed for kids because I'm "too old". I'll definitely check these out. Thanks for the recommendation!
