I just finished Imaginary Girls by Nova Ren Suma - loved it. Very thought provoking and strange.
Next up is Sloppy Firsts by Megan Mccafferty (a bit late to the party!).

ANNA DRESSED IN BLOOD. It's good so far. Nice and creepy.

I'm halfway through ANNA AND THE FRENCH KISS, but I left the book at work, and it's due back at the library on Tuesday, so I'm just going to call it a DNF. It was a fine book, but I didn't really fall in love with it the way so many other people have. I liked it enough that I would have made an effort to finish it if I had time (and the physical book during that time), but it's not really going to bug me if I don't finish it.
Next up will be WHITE CAT by Holly Black
I picked up EYES LIKE STARS by Lisa Mantchev, planning to read the whole series. Loved the concept.
Unfortunately it's a DNF. My brain went on strike after two or three pages -- dialogue overload and too many characters introduced all at once.
Still nibbling at SHINE by Lauren Myracle. It had a strong first half but the middle is starting to lose me.
My problem with ELS was the style of writing. I felt like she skipped describing what was happening too often and all of a sudden it would click after paragraphs to pages of confusionI picked up EYES LIKE STARS by Lisa Mantchev, planning to read the whole series. Loved the concept.

I've started THE FEAR by Charlie Higson, which is the third in his zombie novel series and it's as brutal and scary as the last two. Fab - I love it! He kills all your favourite characters. He's like an abusive parent, but in a good way.

Thanks to you posting this, I went out and bought the first book in the series! Hope I like it :]
Does his Leviathan series read differently than his Uglies series? It took me a whole summer to get through Uglies, about two years ago the intrigue threshold for me was like 100pgs and only then the story only got slightly better. I bought Pretties during my borders haul 3 months ago and I tried to read it today and saw the "I just can't get into this" feeling coming a mile away.Because I'm such a Westerfeld fangirl - Goliath. Only complaint is that it's almost over.
I liked Uglies just fine, but something about the covers of Leviathan and Goliath turn me off...

I'm almost done with SHINE (less than a hundred pages to go), but it's still slow-going. I keep putting it down after each chapter because I think I have the whole thing figured out already so it's kind of annoying to read. Also, I almost threw the book across the room when there was a sudden slip into a giant infodump of backstory RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF AN ARGUMENT in the front story.
