I'm currently halfway through The Strain by Guillermo Del Toro. I'm reading it for the PopchiX Book Club. So far, I really like it.

Synopsis

The Strain They have always been here. Vampires. In secret and in darkness. Waiting. Now their time has come.

In one week, Manhattan will be gone. In one month, the country.

In two months—the world.

A Boeing 777 arrives at JFK and is on its way across the tarmac, when it suddenly stops dead. All window shades are pulled down. All lights are out. All communication channels have gone quiet. Crews on the ground are lost for answers, but an alert goes out to the CDC. Dr. Eph Goodweather, head of their Canary project, a rapid-response team that investigates biological threats, gets the call and boards the plane. What he finds makes his blood...

I'm reading Manic by Terri Cheney. It really gives you an insight into people who have bipolar mood disorder. Pretty crazy things happen.

If you're a psych major I suggest you read it. Text books don't really do any of the disorders justice.

The Stories of Eva Luna by Isabel Allende - for my college writing class.
Its actually not too bad. Its a bunch of 'mystical realism' [as quoted by my teacher 8000 times] short stories.
Im going to pick up the glass menagerie sometime soon, probably this weekend.

I'm reading The Harlequin by Laurel K Hamilton. It's from her Anita Blake series. I'm plowing though this series, having started it back in October and now being only two books from the end!

][from amazon][
From Publishers Weekly
At the start of bestseller Hamilton's solid 15th adventure to star vampire hunter Anita Blake, Malcolm, the priggish head of the Church of the Eternal Life (the vampire church), is so desperate for help in dealing with the Harlequin, a troop of vampire enforcers and spies so feared vampires are forbidden to speak its name, he turns to those he considers sinful and corrupt—Anita and her sweetie, Jean-Claude, St. Louis's Master of the City. The Harlequin may have targeted Anita and the powerful triumvirate she has forged with Jean-Claude and Richard Zeeman (aka Ulfric of the werewolves). According to the rules, the Harlequin must make contact through delivery of a mask—white to indicate they are watching, red for pain, black for death. Anita receives a white mask, but the members of the Harlequin aren't playing by the rules. Shorter and more tightly structured than the previous entry in the series, Danse Macabre (2006), Hamilton's latest should prove more satisfying to longtime fans with its straightforward supernatural politics and steamy (but not extreme) sex.

I'm reading "Wizard and Glass" book 4 of The Dark Tower Series by Stephen King.

It took me about 10 years from the first time I read this book, which I got as a gift for Christmas one year, before I was finally able to buy all 7 books in this series and start the series from book 1. Someone told me that I shouldn't read past book 4 because apparently the quality of the story went downhill. But after 10 years, for better or worse, I'm gonna read this series to it's end, like it or not, hehe.

I love the Halo novels. I'm really into kids in the army, strategizing and all, so the author's writing was no match for my love for the content. I'm also really into Ender's Game (very much of the same stuff in Halo where the kids are training) and Among the Hidden. Kids books, but fun.

I'm currently reading The Historian (http://www.amazon.com/Historian-Elizabeth-Kostova/dp/0316011770) by Elizabeth Kostova.

It is a modern day Dracula tale. Very good and I don't usually read vampire books. It's terrifying in a subtle way. The link above is to Amazon. Here is its synopses:

If your pulse flutters at the thought of castle ruins and descents into crypts by moonlight, you will savor every creepy page of Elizabeth Kostova's long but beautifully structured thriller The Historian. The story opens in Amsterdam in 1972, when a teenage girl discovers a medieval book and a cache of yellowed letters in her diplomat father's library. The pages of the book are empty except for a woodcut of a dragon. The letters are addressed to: "My dear and unfortunate successor." When the girl confronts her father, he reluctantly confesses an unsettling story: his involvement, twenty years earlier, in a search for his graduate school mentor, who disappeared from his office only moments after confiding to Paul his certainty that Dracula--Vlad the Impaler, an inventively cruel ruler of Wallachia in the mid-15th century--was still alive. The story turns out to concern our narrator directly because Paul's collaborator in the search was a fellow student named Helen Rossi (the unacknowledged daughter of his mentor) and our narrator's long-dead mother, about whom she knows almost nothing. And then her father, leaving just a note, disappears also.

I wasn't to excited about the Twilight books either. The biggest problem for me is they aren't Horror or Adventure genres... they're romance novels. I'm not to big in romance novels because usually it has pages and pages of crap (i.e. pages and pages where nothing happens).

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

I fell in love with this book. Could not put it down. It is a young adult book but it's still very good.

The story is set in a post apocalyptic America. The government has gained control and forced the people to live in 12 districts, basically living as slaves. To keep the people demoralized, every year the government forces a teenage boy and girl from each district to compete in a reality show where they must fight to the death, leaving only one as the victor. The story follows a 16 year old girl Katniss who must survive the games yet keep her principles/morality.





Give your teenagers The Hunger Games instead of Twilight.

I'm currently reading the first book of the second trilogy of a kind of modern heroic fantasy it's called "Les Mondes d'Ewilan - La forêt des Captifs" by Pierre Bottero (meaning "Ewilan's Realms - The Captives' Forest"). I don't think it has been translated in English. :( It's about a girl named Camille who has the power to materialize things she can "draw" in the "Imagination", a realm only accessible by one's mind. If some of you speak french I highly recommend this book! Feel free to message me if you want more informations :).

Okay, so I got sucked in and thought I'd try them. I'm currently reading the Twilight books. I've read the first one, and am on New Moon at the moment. NOT something I thought I'd read, but they are better than the movies, and a page turner. I am not a Twilight superfan, mind you, but I'm giving them a try to see what all the hype has been about.

I will add, I'm looking forward to reading this next:

The Year of the Flood: Margaret Atwood (it's her new book). She's my favorite author, and it's her new book. I was going to wait until it comes out in paperback, but I think I'll do an ebook now that I've discovered them.

The Year of the Flood reminds of another book I just got done reading. It's the Life As We Knew It trilogy by Susan Beth Pfeffer. The 2nd book is The Dead and the Gone and the 3rd is This World We Live In. The trilogy is about what happens after the moon gets knocked from it's orbit and pushed closer to the Earth. Natural disaster's engulf the Earth and we follow these two families. They're not the best books you'll ever read and the writing is good, not great, but good, but I still enjoyed them very much!!! However, after just finishing the 3rd book I'm not so sure I would recommend them. The first two books are filled with trial and tribulation. Characters who are pushed to the brink and at their hour of most desperate need, and then come out triumphant. Their defeats and victories make you love the characters and appreciate their sacrifices. But then I read the 3rd book and was perplexed. I won't go into detail about it but it was like the author no longer cared for the characters or even, well, the book. It was written so nonchalant and kinda poorly. "Stuff" just happened. There was no depth to it and the author wrote about the characters like she didn't give a [insert 4 letter word here]
I'm almost convinced the writer only wrote the 3rd book because she was stuck in a contract she impulsively signed on to. It's to bad.

06-17-2010, 04:06 PM
Those first two books in the It's the Life As We Knew It trilogy sound quite good, I might buy them if I see them in the shops. I'm currently reading two books, one is called Stray. It's quite good but gets a bit frustrating at times, because the main character has to follow all these rules and doesn't try to break them or anything, which makes it a bit boring.

The other one I'm reading is called Dark Visions. It's about a girl who can kind of draw the future. She gets this really strong urge to draw and then doesn't really notice what she's drawing, but when she's finished it shows something bad that is about to happen. Then she goes to this college where there are other students with powers but a load of bad stuff happens, it's quite good actually.

I was trying to remember the name of this book the other day... thanks for reminding me, I've been wanting to read it!

Right now I'm working on a couple of books... Jonathon Strange & Mr. Norrell, then the new Dan Brown book (I can't remember what it's called). JSMN has been pretty good so far. I've only gotten through a page so far of the Dan Brown book so I can't say much about it yet.

I just finished Mirabilis by Susann Cokal which follows a wet nurse through 1400s England... and if I say any more about it then I'll give away a lot. But this is definitely not an innocent story at all, a lot of sexual themes.

Before, I read Dragonsong by Anne McCaffrey. It was a pretty light read, but it was nice and refreshing :). My first book by her.

Yeah, so, uh... I read the final book Mockingjay, which was the most anticipated book of the year for me. There is only one word to describe how I felt... "disappointed." There were still good parts in it and it was very very exciting. But there are things about that that I won't go into right now... cause it's so irritating.

Anyways, I'm in charge of the book club so I'm rereading it and formulating questions / discussion topics. I assumed I would like the book more the second time around but instead more irritating things are being revealed to me. I'm having a hard time finishing it. ME!

Right now I'm reading 2 books that are complete opposites: Fable: The Balverine Order and Ladder of Years. So far I'm really liking them.

Yeah, so, uh... I read the final book Mockingjay, which was the most anticipated book of the year for me. There is only one word to describe how I felt... "disappointed." There were still good parts in it and it was very very exciting. But there are things about that that I won't go into right now... cause it's so irritating.

Anyways, I'm in charge of the book club so I'm rereading it and formulating questions / discussion topics. I assumed I would like the book more the second time around but instead more irritating things are being revealed to me. I'm having a hard time finishing it. ME! Having a hard time finish a Hunger Games book!?!?! I'm disliking the main character more and more, and I loved her before!
That's what I get for loving a young adult book.

UGH...I'm just started reading Catching Fire last night. I'm sooooo intrigued with this series. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't let it be a disappointment >.<

Just started A Game of Thrones - in the Fire and Ice series by George R. R. Martin. It's taken me a couple times to start it, but now that I am getting a little further into it, I won't be putting it down any time soon.

I've tried reading this a couple times, I just couldn't quite get into it. Its not that I don't think it's any good, it's just a little different...

Currently re reading Lords of the Underworld series by Gea Showalter...
they are paranormal romance novels and are extremely amazing... About 12 men who were created to be guards for the Gods (yes greek mythology) and they were mad a woman (pandora) was chosen to guard pandoras box... Being jealous as they were they opened the box setting the demons inside free and as a punishment from the gods were chosen to house one of the demons inside themselves permanently... (death, violence, pain, doubt, distrust, promiscuity, disaster, disease, misery, lies, defeat, hope and so on) its the story of thier quest to find 4 atrifacts to locate pandoras box and distroy it before the hunters (their enemy who wants to find the box and suck the demons back inside killing the lords) along with their individual romances... its pretty awesome if you like romance violence and mystery all curled up in one

^Those sound really good. :D I might have to look them up sometime.

I'm in the middle of Marjorie Liu's Hunter Kiss series, but I was reading them on my iPhone and iOS5 has kinda broken the app I was reading them on so.... I took a break and am reading Richard Castle's Heat Rises.

I love those Castle books and I'd love to know who's doing the ghost writing on them. They're really great.
