Happy reading, y'alls!

I love the way Zarr writes and I'm really enjoying this one so far. Happy reading y'all.

"And this is my greatest fear: After 301 years, when they pull my glass coffin from this morgue, and they let my body thaw like chicken meat on the kitchen counter, I will be just like I am now. I will spend all of eternity trapped in my dead body."

So far Across the Universe is good, but a little confusing. But I'm still only 50 pages in, so I'm hoping that clears up. I like how the chapters alternate between Amy and Elder though. So what's your teaser?

Identical has been fantastic so far. Haunting and disturbing, but still great. What's your teaser this week?

"We must go as quietly as we can," said Mr. Tumnus. "The whole wood is full of her spies. Even some of the trees are on her side."

 I read these books a couple times as a kid, but I never totally understood them, so I decided to to read them again. I've really been enjoying them so far. My only complaint is this book weighs about twenty pounds and I'm getting back pains from carrying it around.

I absolutely love this book so far. The romance is hot, the story is action-packed, and the characters are witty and loyal. I'm only half through but already dying to get the sequel.

This book has been really good so far. I haven't gotten all that far, even though I've been reading it since Saturday, must be all the other non-bookish distractions out here in Alaska. I'm gonna try to finish it tonight. So glad I have the next 2 books already!

Geez, this book is great so far. I know that's technically three lines, but I couldn't leave it at two. Definitely not getting rid of this meme. It's one of my favorites. :)
