    Currently reading Fireflight by Brandon Sanderson. I am really enjoying this series. Took a chance on the first book, Steelheart, for $1.99. I have really enjoyed his Stormlight Archive books as well.

    I've never read a Sanderson novel; what would you guys suggest as a starter?

    I don't care much for the Alcatraz series but otherwise I really love all his stuff. And the Way of King/Words of Radiance is definitely my favorite series, but you might want to think twice before investing your time in the beginning of a very long series with only two 1200 pages books released so far, lol.

    I'm rereading Reamde by Neal Stephenson. I love everything of his that I've read, Anathem is my favorite book and I read it at least once a year.

    Cheers to all the fellow Sanderson fans! I just finished Elantris and The Emperor's Soul. Both are highly recommended. I also recently devoured Ready Player One. It's a really fun read for any geeks and fans of the 80s.

    Just got done with House of Hades, now on to Blood of Olypmus, the last Percy Jackson Heroes of Olympus book. To be honest, I have a lot of books I picked up at Goodwill/Habitat for Humanity I have yet to read.

    Currently on the third book of the Raven Cycle (Blue Lily, Lily Blue) by Maggie Stiefvater. Nearly finished, and I've got the last book checked out from the library, ready and waiting!

    I'm reading the Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer. It's a sci-fi twist on classic fairy tales(cinderella, red riding hood, rapunzel, snow white). I've read 2 out of 4 so far. Very quick reads as it's a juvenile series. Lots of fun and a good story.

    I love that book!!!! I randomly picked it up at lending library at my work. I'm excited for the movie adaptation. It'll be fun to see the visuals from the book, like the RV towers.

    Any Dark Tower fans? I've read through the series twice. Once I finish the Lunar Chronicles and Assassination Classroom, I think I'm going to pick it up again.

    I read the first 4 twice.. then rushed through the last ones when they all came out so close together... I didn't enjoy them as much. And wanted to throw out the last book when I was done (hated the ending).

    Looking forward to the movies though!
