Been awhile since I've checked in, but I've completed quite a few books over the last week! I finally finished The Van Allen Legacy by Melissa de la Cruz, and then I dove into Spirit Bound by Richelle Mead and finished that in like, 2 days, and then I dove into Last Sacrifice by Richelle Mead and finished that in like 2 days. Now I'm reading Chosen by P.C. Cast and Kristin Cast and will probably read my way through the rest of that series since I own all of it. I just realized that Richelle Mead has a TON of Vampire Academy spin-offs (Sequels?) that I now have to add to my list. I also have to order in the rest of the Blue Bloods series so that I can finish that. This is the most reading I've done in quite awhile due to my eyesight, so I'm pretty excited! <3

Just went through and updated my reading list! What started out to be a Summer 2014 reading list, has turned into a 3 year project that still probably won't be done until like, 2020

I had an accident after Mother's Day where I fell down my steps and slammed head first into my car, so reading has been zilch since then, but I'm hoping to get back into it again soon! I'm pretty much recovered for the most part, but I'm also boycotting Burned by P.C. Cast & Kristen Cast - Tempted left me heartbroken and furious so I'm like how I was with Blood Promise by Richelle Mead - hopefully it won't take me 3 years to continue the House of Night series though because it's really good!!

Hiya Car'a'Carn! :D <3

By Mother's Day I had read through Chosen, Untamed, Hunted, and Tempted by P.C. Cast & Kristen Cast! Once I get on a reading spree there's no stopping me xD;

Out of the ones I initially listed, I would say Last Sacrifice was my favorite. It has such an amazing flow throughout the whole book - it answered questions, brought people back together, gave a little forward at the end that I believe may be the opening to the sequel series, but if it isn't it still was a fabulous open-ended ending where we got to determine how we felt the characters lived the rest of their days. It gave us a start, but while reading the ending it's like it all just fell into place and we just KNEW what was going to unfold afterwards. I'm sad I boycotted the series for so long, but Blood Promise pissed me off so badly with what they did to the characters

Of the ones I've read afterwards, Tempted was my favorite but it also pissed me off just as much as Blood Promise did! I cried hysterically I swear at the last chapter - I was reading in my room and next thing my Mom knows I'm crying my eyes out and she looks in on me and I'm trying to read through my tears the last few pages of the book It was an emotional roller coaster and I can't accept the ending of that book - we need to reverse it and fix it! The Authors assured me it's good if I continue forward, as more develops, but I think it's a double edged reunion

Have you been reading anything lately?

Bwahaha It really is!! I watch Freeform's Harry Potter Weekend like, every time XD;

Omg you MUST read it!! The new play right?? I LOVED it!! It really did a role reversal and put a lot of characters in perspective, and I felt that it really evolved the characters in a realistic way. A lot of people give it crap, especially with the casting in the actual play, but I loved it! It's certainly a bit of a different take on the Harry Potter realm, but I honestly wished it were longer. The 2nd half really went quickly after the long lead up for the 1st part. Given that it's a play, I understand the time constraints, but there was so much happening in the 2nd part that I'm just like "I WANT MORE!!!!"

I would not be opposed to an extended edition, let me tell ya

Ooh, ooh! Thanks for posting here, Zig, I forgot all about it.

I don't think I'll ever allot the time to read 50 books in a year (although my goal is to glacially get there in life - last year, the year I turned 25, I read 24 books; this year, my goal is to read 25; by the time I'm 51, it'd be nice to think that incrementally increasing the number of books I read annually by one per year will be feasible and, er... be something I follow. ). But I am a very active Goodreads user, and readily welcome any of you to friend me on there!

Here's what I read in 2017:
