I love this (:
hey, im a big reader too. have you read the hunger games by suzanne collins? or changeling by steve feasey? they’re some of my recent reads.
Yes, I loved HUNGER GAMES by Suzanne Collins. I haven’t read CHANGELING though. I’ll have to look for that one. Thanks for the comment.
this is cool web
wow, i cant believe someone besides me has actually read the Hunger Games! i recommend Unwind (idk the author) and Uglies by scott westerfeld.
AHHH! I’m doing a 2009 100 book challenge and I’m so far behind!!! I’m on 8!! In my defense, there’s been a hospital stay and a cruise with 25 bands. I like reading about your reads and am now putting in a shameless plug for my own blog! I was wondering if you could take a look, give me any pointers on my reviews, etc. I hope you don’t mind!
http://surroundedbywords.blogspot.com/2009/03/number-eight-arc-review.html
Just finished “The Forest of Hands and Teeth” by Carrie Ryan … it was an excellent read, and I highly recommend it.
Loved the Hunger Games. that was an amazing book. I think i’m gonna read some of these books you’ve recommended. Thanks =]
I loved the Hunger Games too! it was amazing! i also read Uglies and that whole series as well pretty good 2. Theres a sequel comming out to hunger games apparantly but im not sure when……..Ohhh i good book/series to read is The mortal instruments if you havent already its AH-MAZING!!!
If u have any reccomendation pls let me kno!!! =)
Thanks so much <3
This is cool! I am jealous of how much you read, haha.
What did you think of Betwixt? That was the last book I read and I have mixed feelings about it. I loved the first half or so. It was really addicting. I didn’t like it towards the end though, and the ending was unsatisfying. It left me confused. What did you think of the end?
And I’m reading Evermore right now. I’m about half way through. I love Alyson Noel, so I’m surprised that I’m a little bored with the book right now. Does it get better?
Evermore does get really good. it gets very sweet towards the end. to me, it was an awesome book. i was a little bit at the beginning with all the cheesy flashback but it keeps getting better and better. this is my opinion =D I LOVE THE BOOK! ^^
Hi, this is my first entry here… Anyway, just refering to Marissa’s comment on Evermore, yes, it does get better, and i can’t wait for the sequel! Good luck to you!
Hi Karin – found you on the wordpress linkbacks w/ our Rosemary Clement-Moore posts. Love the site. Can’t wait to see what you’ll read next!
bria
What do you just read all the time and never do any thing else I mean I love to read to but if I read that much that would be all I was doing. Cuz each one of your books the dates are like march 5;next book march 6;next book march 8. That’s crazy how do you do it and were do you find all these books and have the money to buy them all you must spend like 500.00 a month on books. And can you tell me all the books on your background ecpecially the one with the cartoon fairy looking book. And the one with the blonde chick. I’d like to know what all of them are but I can’t tell.
Thanks, Samantha
Hi Karin, i just finished reading Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead… Well, gotta tell you, LOVED IT! but i was really upset on how it ended on #3, now i can’t stop thinking about it… The 4th one is coming out in August, and i can’t wait! Please let me know if you read it, and your thoughts on it! Thanks!
I really want to read Interwined it looks great. I just finished reading Dead Untill Dark the first in a series and it was really good. So if you like vampire books you should check that series out!
I love that series. It is by Charlaine Harris. It is the series that the Showtime or HBO show True Blood is based on.
Hi Karen, I love the Vampire Academy series; they rock! Can’t wait for Blood Promise to come out…>_<
Anyways, i don’t know if you’ve read it already or not, but i really reccomend Graceling by Kristen Cashore. Fire, the prequel and Bitterblue, the sequal are coming out later in fall, but read Graceling. i think it might even be able to challenge The Uglies!
I read Graceling! Well, I have like 20 pages left. It was pretty interesting, but a little bit predictable… I didn’t know that more books were coming out in the series, though. Thanks!
I picked up Evermore last night and am reading it. I’m not that into it though I kind of just want to read something else. I’m only about half way through it. So I was just wondering if anyone else felt like me while reading it.
hey i wanted to read that book is it any good at all?
You’re so not alone. I’ve read it 2 weeks ago and… I don’t know, I just don’t feel it. I honestly tried to like it (with the reviews and the money I paid for to read it), but no good… peace out everyone!
On another note: I CAN’T WAIT FOR CATCHING FIRE!! That book is gonna be awesome!
Oh, I know! I’m so excited about reading CatchingFire!!! I read TheHungerGames in January, so the wait has been torture! I heard that the third book is coming out in 2010; does anyone know what it might be called?
i ment i wanted to read Evermore
hi! Your blog inspired me to start my own. Here is the link if anyone wants to check it out. http://inkblotter-kate.blogspot.com/ Most of the book I found from reading this blog! I loved Evermore! That was a great book!
I’m so glad you started your own reading log. Thanks for visiting the blog.
Evermore is great! I can’t wait for the sequel!
Evermore is great. I can’t wait for Blue Moon (August 4th)
The Hunger Games is the best book I’ve ever read, Catching Fire should be great (September 1st)
Wow, this is a really great idea!
Not only are you keeping up with the books you’re reading… you’re sharing them with the world.
I’m so inspired by you right now. ^_^
Thank you so much.
God bless…
and have fun.
I can’t wait to read Dull Boy by Sarah Coss!
i’m not much of a reader, but i like vampire romance stories or even just vampire stories now days. But I think my most favorite book is…
… thinking,
… still thinking,
… still thinking,
… idk. But i wacthed twilight and i thought it was pretty good!!!
Evermore is VERY good!!!
I can’t wait for the 2nd book to come out!
It already came out! i have Blue Moon alreadyy. It came out July 6th i think. around there. i cant remeber. I LOVE THE IMMORTALS SERIES THOUGHH!!!(:
ahh, i juss cant believe i have to wait till
February in 2010 To Get The 3rd book called Shadowlandd.
WOW! Your blog is sick! I LOVE the backround! REALLY tight! I read a lot too! I’ve read 112 books since the summer and I started “Hunger” by Michael Grant last night! I LOVE that series! Some people thought it was stupid, but I thought it was SO COOL! I mean, that could be usefull info in case everyone over 15 POOFED! HAHAHA! jk!I LOVED the “House of NIght Series” by P.C. Cast and Kristen Cast, and the “Daughters of the Moon Series” by Lynne Ewing… I LOVE Alyson Noel, and Sarah Dessen. I have a blog of my own, maybe you could check it out and we could comparebooks? http://nataliesbookshelf2.wordpress.com/
This may be a stupid question, but I was wondering how you can read Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins when it doesn’t even come out until September 2009 ? I’m just curious because Hunger Games is one of my favorite books so I’d love to read Catching Fire. Thanks..
I was lucky enough to get my hands on an ARC (Advanced Reading Copy).
Are you serious??? Can you please, please, please do a review on it?? Haha I’m practically going psycho about this book!
I wondered that too…
Hi Karin,
I love your website. You have many great books listed-I should know, i read a lot of them. If you are looking for interesting books, I have a few recommendations…
1) Deadline, by Chris Cautcher
2) North of Beautiful, by Justina Chen Headley
3) Just Listen By Sarah Dessen
Wow, I’m a big reader too, but nowhere as much as you.
I truly admire individuals who can balance it all out.
A great blog, and read so many novels!
Keep up the good work, praises for you. (:
I recently read Evermore, which I fell in love with and The Tenth Circle by Jodi Picoult.
I love Evermore! but my friend got me all confused cuz she was reading Evermore and Evernight and i thought they were in the same series and they are not! im a big reader too but this is really amazin she is doing a great job!!
OMG!!!!!!!!!! I love this site!!!!!!! found some excellent books here!!!!!!
I love the vampire academy series!!!!!!!!!
I didnt really like how shadow kissed ended like seriously, she practically killed Dimitri. Granted, I have a funny feeling that blood promise will make up for it, and that Dimitri will still be tugging at Rose’s heart strings.
Oh and for anyone who love’s vampire books, the house of night series by p.c and kristin cast is a must read!!!!!!!
Again, LOVE THE SITE!!!!!!!!!!
how did you get catching fire already!!
Thats what I said! and Ballad (which is the currently being read book) doesn’t come out for 3 more months!
i love charlaine harris sookie stackhouse series! i’ve read all of them. does anyone know when the 10th one will be coming out.
You have a very wonderful list of books; I’m looking forward to getting some good recommendations for it.
Here are some books that I really enjoyed,
Oh.My.Gods. – Tera Lynn Childs, both this one and the sequel are cute, funny, and quick reads.
My Most Excellent Year – Steve Kluger. I just finished it, and loved it.
Also by Amella Atwater-Rhodes has some really cool books out.
Man i love this website im a huge reader and this is like a dream (sorry i no im a big dork and bookworm…)! and for summer im planning on reading like 50 books, so far i have read 20 so i might raise my goal…but i really needed some good ideas and this SOOO helps!!!!

Hey! Just wondering, how did you read CatchingFire already? That book doesn’t come out until September 1st (I’ve been counting down the days

The Adoration of Jenna Fox
Hmmm This is a little inspiring. I have a deep love passion for books and reading. My most favored place in the world is the library. I just love everything about it, Especially the smell! The smell of the books and the sound of turning pages. All of it! I think I’m going to start my own book review/log. Something similar to this. People deserve to know excellent books to read. Also, a really good series, For those who haven’t read it, Is the Private Series by Kate Brian.
i wood just like 2 say that u r now 1 of my all time heroes. i go thru books so fast & my frends & family say its unhealthy cuz i spend way 2 much $$ on this “obsession” but im just like its not yur $$. plus wuts rong w/ an obsession w/ reading?? at least im not illitereate like half the kids in my highskool wer! keep up the great work i cant wait 2 read all these books yur suggesting
I was never really a reader until someone covinced me to read Twilight. I was immediately sucked into it and quickly read all four books. I stumbled across this website trying to quench my thirst for more. So far the books that have had a strong effect on me are the Mortal Instruments series and the Hunger Games (I’ll be picking up Catching Fire this evening) Are there any recommendations for books w/ the same feeling as these?
I kno wut u mean thats how i was but w/ the Harry Potter books lol… ive nevr read those books but a rly rly rly great book is Shiver… ooh and the Evermore & Evernight & The Immortals & Blue Bloods series … Academy 7 was good 2
I am totally jealous! I love to read. I walk into a bookstore and I feel like Charlie Bucket and the rest of the kids when they first enter the candy room of Willy Wonka. The problem is I’m a horribly slow reader. Part of the problem is that I have limited time to read, but more importantly, I am a dreadfully slow reader. If I get through a book in two or three weeks it is a feat. Looking at your list make me seethe with jealously!
Quite a list!
[...] is a voracious, gluttonous, book sponge. I know this because she posts a page that shows her reading list for 2009. As of October 21st, Karin has read 85 books! In 2008 (she also has that year’s list published, [...]
I have been inspired my your love for teen books , so i have set my own book review blog and hope that you will give me advice on how to improve it!!!!!!!http://jawhariyo-readit.blogspot.com/
I love when people recommend a really good book to me but especially a series (so i don’t have to search for another book in ages) so I’m going to try Evermore since you guys all like it.
BTW… my favorite book of all time is: The Ancient Future: The Dark Age. and the sequel is good too.
i hope i can inspire someone to read it
