I was not impressed by Grave Sight, even though the idea behind it intrigued me and I thought that was interesting. The characters suck though, so I won't be continuing on with that series unless I really need something to read. I did enjoy Dead Until Dark, mostly because the roomie and I have been watching True Blood and I will keep up with that series.

I loved, loved, loved The Subtle Knife, and I'm waiting to read The Amber Spyglass for a bit because I want to savor the rest of the series.

Also adored A Great and Terrible Beauty and Rebel Angels, even though I wanted to punch half the characters in the face in each book. I'm also waiting to read the last book in that series too.

Currently reading: The Mysterious Benedict Society by Trenton Lee Stewart. I'm starting to love this one, but I'm only 150 pages in and there's about 300 more pages to go.

Up next: The Oracles of Delphi Keep, Sloppy Seconds, Coraline

Still on the list: Peeps, Atonement, Maximum Ride. I actually have a small shelf in my room dedicated to books I haven't read or have started reading and then stopped for some reason or another.
