I don't have quite as many going this week, so this post shouldn't take me all day like it did last week. Without further ado...
What are you currently reading?
Human.4
by Mike A. Lancaster- I picked this book up because the cover is pretty wild. 2/3 of the way through, and I can tell you, the story is pretty wild too! This would make a great movie. Look for my review soon!
by Andrea Cremer- I just started this one on my Kindle. I didn't really have any idea what it was about when I picked it up. I just loved the cover and title (Nightshade is a beautiful, but extremely toxic flower). Stay tuned!
by Gwen Hayes- This is my audio selection of the week. Again, loving the cover (anyone see a pattern here?). Romance and intrigue. I'm hooked!What did you recently finish reading?
The Dark and Hollow Places
by Carrie Ryan- Abso-freakin-lutely AMAZING! If you are a fan of the series, just know that this is the best one yet! I LOVED it! I will be posting my review tomorrow. I kind of need to let it digest some... Carrie Ryan totally outdid herself with this one though. I'm sad that it's the last. Boo hoo!

The Reformed Vampire Support Group
by Catherine Jinks- This was very good, but not as good as I expected it to be, based on her Genius Wars series. I'll have a review up later this week. Stay tuned.

The Lipstick Laws
by Amy Holder- The awesome cover does this book justice. It's exactly what you would expect it to be based on it. Check out my review of this book by clicking HERE.

City of Fallen Angels
by Cassandra Clare- Two words. Effing Awesome! If you are a fan of the series and haven't read this, run right out and buy it! You won't be disappointed! If you haven't read any of The Mortal Instruments books yet, you need to. NOW! Check out my spoiler-free review HERE.

Where She Went
by Gayle Forman- I've been waiting on this one for quite awhile and am so happy to finally have it. I loved If I Stay, it's predecessor, and I'm sure this one will be no different. It is next on my list. As in, I will be starting it today! Yay me!

Shine
by Lauren Myracle- I'll also be starting this one this week. My daughter LOVES Lauren Myracle and is itching to get her hands on this one, but it's definitely a "Mom reads first for content" book (my daughter is almost 10), so I need to get moving or I will find it hidden in her room like I did Twilight (when she was 7!!).

So, without further ado, the book I am highlighting this week is....
Everfound by Neal Shusterman
While Mary lies in a glass coffin aboard a ghost train heading west, her minions are awaiting her re-awakening by bringing lots of new souls into Everlost to serve her. Meanwhile Jackin’ Jill has met Jix, a fur-jacker—a skin jacker who can take over the bodies of animals, most notably jaguars. Jix serves a Mayan god who collects Everlost coins, and has his own agenda. In the concluding volume of The Skinjacker Trilogy, Neal Shusterman reveals new sides of the characters of Everlost, who are pitted against each other in a battle that may destroy all life on Earth.

This is the third and final book in Neal Shusterman's Skinjackers Trilogy. It drops on Tuesday, May 3rd, and I cannot wait! I have been waiting for this book for what seems like forever! It is by far and away, my number one most anticipated book of 2011! The first two books Everlost
and Everwild
are two of my favorite books EVER (pun totally intended). So, just a forewarning... The people that rely on me should expect nothing from me next Tuesday and Wednesday because I will be busy! If you haven't read these books, you are missing out on literary greatness! (Also, check out Shusterman's Unwind
, which is even better!)

Yes, to anything by Neal! He is coming to TX next month...can't wait to meet him.
ReplyDeleteGreat books up there!
Neal's Unwind is really awesome I'd love to read more of his works. I agree that you should read Where She Went next. It's also pure awesome!
ReplyDeleteChel @ The Procrastinator's Corner
I've been wondering about this series but I hadn't heard that much about it. Being your number one most anticipated book of 2011 is pretty convincing :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't even picked up The Mortal Instruments books, so I guess that message is intended for me! Lol

i haven't heard of the skinjacker series but it sounds interesting. i'm always envious of readers who can read more than one book at once. you have so many great reads--enjoy them all!
ReplyDeletePlease stop by my WoW this week.
-Michelle
Falling Under was SOOOO good =)! I loved it!
ReplyDeleteAlso, I have been wanting Shine since I first saw it on a blog. I read the first few pages though and it is pretty brutal. One of those disturbing but can't-put-down reads (by the looks of it). I just have to brace myself and buy it. I will look forward to your review!
Ps - your daughter read Twilight when she was 7?! Wow!! I am impressed! That is a genius in the making ;)
ReplyDelete@Chelsey She TRIED to read it at 7 and promptly got it taken away until she is 12. She COULD have read it, but I wasn't ready for her to just yet... I have a feeling Shine will also go on the wait-a-few-years shelf...
ReplyDeleteI read an eGalley of Everfound recently--it was incredible!! Hope you love it!
ReplyDeleteHuman.4 sounds fascinating. I saw it at the books store but passed it over. I'll be waiting for your review.
ReplyDeleteWow, looks like I need to read the Skinjackers trilogy! Sounds very exciting.
ReplyDeleteThis series sounds good. I may have to check it out. Thanks for stopping by my blog.
ReplyDeleteGreat books you have there! I should check them out!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like an amazing series! I notice that Publisher: Simon & Schuster Children's Publishing publish some amazing Young Adult books. The Monstrumologist is one to consider by Rick Yancey. It is amazing, same publisher.
ReplyDeleteWhere She Went was really good; I hope you get your hands on a copy soon!
ReplyDeleteThanks for commenting on my WoW (:
ReplyDeleteGlad to see you liked The Lipstick Laws - I really want to read that one! I haven't heard of this series yet, but it sounds interesting - I'll have to check it out! Hope you enjoy it when it's released (:
I've never heard of this series, but it looks like one that I would love!! Book 3 already, I need to catch up.
ReplyDeleteWow, I haven't seen this series, but this book looks great! Thanks, I'll have to check it out:)
ReplyDeleteI loved If I Stay as well, it had me in tears. I can't wait to read Where She Went!
Wow! Cool books! Adding Human-4 to my list!! And CoFA IS THE BEST BOOK EVER!!!
ReplyDeleteIf I Stay and Where She went were amazing as well as Nightshade! Neverfound looks interesting!
ReplyDeleteGreat WOW.
Wow, we have a ton of books in common! I really need to get on the Skinjackers series. Thanks for dropping by and being my 100th ;-)
ReplyDeleteHi, Karis. Thanks for stopping by my WoW post. Pining is a good word. At least I have the entire Mortal Instruments series waiting for me, though they probably won't last until December. LOL
ReplyDeleteI just heard about this series last week! It sounds good, but a little too spooktastic for my likes.
ReplyDeleteNewest follower :)
I've seen your WoW choice around but I've not read any of that series. Shine looks awesome hope you and your daughter both enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteHey!
ReplyDeleteSo you read more than a book at the same time too! Cool!:D
I have Nightshade on my TBR list but never got the chance to read it. But it sounds great and I love the cover too so I hope I'll get to it soon!
And how is the Falling Under audio version? I recently got the audiobooks fever but I'm very picky with the narrators.LOL They've got to have a nice voice and intonation! Speaking of which, I LOVE the CoFA audiobook!<3
As for your WoW pick... I need to check out that series, you got me all intrigued here!
xoxo
P.S. I'm also a new follower, so see you around!;)
great batch of books, I loved where she went! I'm hoping to read Shine soon myself, your comment about finding twilight hidden in her room made me laugh, got to love young readers :)
ReplyDeleteEverlost and Unwind have been on my wishlist for a long time and your amazing praise makes me want to get them right away! I am your newest follower as well and will you please stop by my blog to follow me back. :) Thanks and happy reading!
ReplyDelete-Sandra from http://sandrathenookworm.blogspot.com
I read Nightshade and I'm in the middle of reading Falling Under. Two terrific stories. I love the dark, intricate stuff!
ReplyDeleteI love that one of your labels is "so freaking excited"!
ReplyDeleteYou're reading some great sounding books right now! I'm waiting on Nightshade to come in the mail. I can't wait!
I've never heard of the Ever series (love your pu, by the way. LOL). I'll have to go check it out!
Jennifer of Little Shelf
I really enjoyed Unwind, but I haven't read any of his other books. I'll have to give this series a try. Great pick!
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of the Skinjackers series! It sounds pretty interesting and I'll have to find it! Thanks for the heads up and for posting on my blog! I'm a new follower!
ReplyDeleteI sooo need to get my hands on Falling Under and Nightshade! Hope you're enjoying reading it! and how was City of Fallen Angels?? I love Cassandra Clare's books, and unfortunately I haven't been able to get my hands on the latest one :S. I still need to read the Lipstick Laws as well...Shine is AMAZING! you'll really love it :) How's the "If I Stay" series and "The Forest of Hands and Teeth" series?? I haven't managed to get my hands on them (yet) but they sound amazing! Thanks so much for stopping by my blog and I'm your latest follower! :D
ReplyDeleteEverfound sounds great! I'm looking into the first book right now and adding it to my TBR! :) Also, I hadn't heard of Human.4, but you're right about the cover. I think I'll have to read it!
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy Falling Under! It's so awesome!! ;) I haven't heard of Everfound or the Trilogy, but I'll definitely check it out! :)
ReplyDeleteI've read Everlost, but not the others in the series. I did list Unwind better, I think. Thanks for visiting my blog!
ReplyDeleteAre you loving Nightshade? CoFA is on my shelf and I just haven't gotten around to starting it. I know I'm going to want the next one ASAP. Sigh, stupid awesome series with cliffhangers. Grawr!
ReplyDeleteWow lots of great books in this post and a couple I've never heard of and that includes the books in your WoW post. I do believe I've heard of Unwind though. I'll have to check them out :)
ReplyDeleteSandy
I loved this book! It's a very interesting premise, and Neal's writing is awesome!
ReplyDeleteI like the WWW Feature! I might have to add this to my blog!
Thanks for the follow by the way, and I'm following back.

Hey, in response to Wings vs. Illusions, I would say they were both equally good to me, the second one got more into the chemistry aspect and potion-making, which I found to be really fun. However, if you didn't get into the first one, I doubt you'd be impressed with the second one and I've heard the third isn't as good as the first two, so perhaps this can be a series you skip and save yourself some money and time. :)
ReplyDelete-Sandra from http://sandrathenookworm.blogspot.com
Thanks for your comments everyone! I can't believe that so many of you haven't had the joy of reading Neal Shusterman! He really is a genius! Also, thanks for all the follows! Ya'll made my day! *sniff* *cries tears of joy*
ReplyDelete@Deea The Falling Under audio is quite good. There are two narrators. A boy and a girl. The guy annoys me a little, but I've only heard him for a snippet here and there. The girl is doing 95% of the reading and she's quite good.
@iLuvReadingTooMuch Both series are fantastic! I just read Where Shew Went in 1 sitting and I did the same with If I Stay. The Forest of Hands and Teeth, et al. are amazing as well. All 3 are on my favorite-books-ever list.
@Megan Nightshade is good so far. My husband has commandeered my Kindle at the moment, so it will probably be a few days until I get it back... :(
@Sandra Thanks! I guess I have enough books on my TBR! :)
I must be living under a rock, because I haven't heard of Neal Shusterman's series before!! Sounds great, I can't wait to check the series out!
ReplyDeleteSo many good picks here! I cannot wait to read The Dark & Hollow Places, jealous. :P
ReplyDeleteGreat books on your WWW. They're all on my tbr list / wishlist, and I'm especially glad that Human.4 is good :) As for Everfound, one of my most expected reads this year, too & it's just as amazing as the previous 2. Haven't finished it because of the lack of free time, but I'll probably finish it today. I've read Unwind, too & Neal is one of my favourite authors! Happy reading.
