The Beautiful and the Damned by F. Scott Fitzgerald.
wanderlust consumed her;
foreign hearts & exotic minds compelled her.
she had a gypsy soul
and a vibrant heart for the unknown.

I'm re-reading Al Carraway's book. 'More Than The Tattooed Mormon.' It really is such a great book.

I'm just binge reading a bunch of fanfiction. (I haven't read some in a while, and figured I might as well find some more stories.)

I just finished Attachments in one day, and now I'm reading Paper Towns and rereading The Beginning of Everything, which is one of my favorite books of all time.

Angsty Brennan-centric fanfiction. Love those stories where Booth comes in and saves the day.

Gregeor the Overlander. Jordan had read it, and really enjoyed the book, so he bought the entire series for me to read.

Used to read her books a lot in the past but then I stopped and trying to read all the books I've missed since then. Burned was probably one of my favorite books so I am excited to read this. Funny enough she never planned on making a sequel. Her fans talked her into it.

Also, you reminded me that I used to want to read this series. The author is famous for the hunger games but I remember looking into the other stuff she had written and being curious about it. If you see this let me know if the series is any good or at least if the first book is worth the read!

Is American gods good? It's gotten mixed reviews from my book clubs. Some of them had no ideal what was going on it it and then some loved it.

So, I've started reading the Gregor the Overlander series per my husbands request, and I'm not going to life, for a children's series, it's amazing, and I honestly can't get enough.

I have put this on my goodreads list. I'll look into reading it later this year or next year some time.

I'm reading this one currently since it was recommended by someone at our Church and it's really good.
I'm also rereading this series.

Her books are so good. I am almost finished reading all the books she has written. I just have three left. I am kind of sad that she doesn't have more. Although, I believe she might be coming out with one this year.
This is the book I am reading now. It's told from the perspective of the kids from her adult novel Triangles. Some of it is kind of repetitive since I just finished triangles but it's cool reading it from their perspective.

I'm currently on the last book in the Gregor the Overlander series. (I really don't want it to end. I really enjoy this series too much.)

This might be the one Ellen Hopkins book I don't finish. The character is just so unlikable.

Couldn't get into this so I started reading:
It's a weird title but it's kind of good. Read the synopsis before making a decision about reading it or not.

Finishing up the trilogy. Loved it but I know a lot of people said it kind of sucked. I am also excited for the movie even though they changed powers. Making my boyfriend take me to see it.

All The Bright Places is great, I was just a little disappointed with the end, personally.
I'm reading Be More Chill by Ned Vizzini.

It was an alright book. I think it got so much hype as being good that I didn't enjoy it? I think if I had gone in blind I might have enjoyed it more.
This is what I am reading now. I started it last night but didn't get that far.

I think it's the same with A Girl On The Train and I didn't feel like it was as good as all the reviews of that time made it out to be.
I just finished the epilogue of A Storm of Swords, next up is A Feast For Crows

The Other Queen by Phillipa Gregory. It's a historical fiction about Mary Queen of Scots's time imprisoned, told from the point of view of Mary, and the husband and wife whose house she is forced to stay in. It's quite good, not sure about the writing style sometimes but the plot is very gripping (it's why I love history, it is so dramatic!)
