Mercy Thompson series by Patricia Briggs.
This is on my list!

Anyone here on Goodreads? I'm completely addicted to that site.
I'm such a Good reads addict!

I might have the app.

I'm going to register, I thought about it last month and then didn't. Seems like it would really help me keep track of/discover new books to read.

I am not real thrilled with my library's selection of online material, any suggestions on places to "rent" books for my Nook?

Just finished Divergent
Also on my list :)

I haven't read Allegiant yet, I've heard it's awful and I'm scared to. I really enjoyed Divergent and Insurgent though.

Definitely looking forward to the movie, too.

I read the Divergent series 2 weeks ago. Yeah the end was disappointing, but it wasn't as awful as I thought it would be from the reviews.. you're still sucked in the story (it took me forever to finish the first one because it was an audio book, then I read the other two in 2 days). Really loved the first one though, and definitely going to go see the movie on Friday... although the actress just doesn't look like I imagined Tris would look like (and Four neither, but oh well).

I finished Words of Radiance from Brandon Sanderson this week (second volume of The Stormlight Archive). It was SO GOOD. Seriously in love with this series. Going to be a long wait for the 3rd. If you like fantasy, you got to check it out (the first one was the Way of Kings). I'm going to have to re-read it soon.

Next is the Wind in the Keyhole from Stephen King, got it ages ago and should really read it... but after Words of Radiance I think everything will be disappointing.

I need to get around to reading Allegiant someday.... my plan was to re-read Divergent before the movie comes out, and THAT definitely didn't happen. But I think I need to at least re-read Insurgent so that I can refresh my memory on where the series left off, before I get into Allegiant.

Currently, I've just started reading A Storm of Swords. God the books in this series are so long. I'd also like to watch Game of Thrones, but I will only watch as far as I've read, so it's going to take FOREVER.

Out of all the Stephen King books I have read, those are the ones I HAVEN'T read lol...
Well wind through the keyhole is an addon short story to the dark tower series. It actually can stand alone as 90% of it is a story told by Roland to his group during a storm.

ETA: oh and read the dark tower series it's awesome.

Except the end... lol. But yes, great series. I'd read that first, and just read the Wind in the Keyhole after the 4th, where it's supposed to be in the series anyway (it's been ages since I read it so it's a bit confusing so far, to be honest).

Well yeah I don't think many really liked the ending but the series as a whole is great. I'd already read through the entire series at least twice when Wind through the keyhole came out so I just went straight to it. Kinda making me want to read through the series again, it's been years since I last did.

Speaking of bad endings, I have to say I was less disappointed in the dark tower ending than the wheel of time ending. Not sure how many would agree with me though. Dark tower ending felt disappointing, wheel of time ending felt like a cop out to me. Still really enjoined both series though.
