    I finished "A Court of Thorns and Roses", which I loved.

    Still trying to get through my DIA re-read. But I'm book hungover from ACoTaR.

    I finished Dark Sparkler (poems by Amber Tamblyn about actresses who died before their time/the nature of celebrity) and The Walls Around Us (so good, but i'm still a little confused).

    I started So You've Been Publicly Shamed by Jon Ronson.

    I completely neglected Great Expectations.

    I finished The Warlord Wants Forever and I'm almost finished with Alice in Wonderland High by Rachel Shane. Alice is really cute and I love the creative ways she included touches of Wonderland into this retelling.  
    I also listened to a wee bit of The Mime Order, but I mostly do audiobooks during the week when I'm driving.

    I finally finished Dead Wake by Erik Larson. It was totally fascinating and I highly recommend it for non-fiction lovers.

    Finished my "secret book" which was Blue Lily, Lily Blue.  It was the best book in the series so far.  LOVED IT. I'm suffering from serious book hangover.

    Good question???  I don't know, but from now on, expect lots of drunk dialing from me in the future.  
    It will go something like this

    Finally finished Mara Dyer #3, and didn't care enough about it to look up the title. It was very, very disappointing.

    I read some of Gone Too Far (finished last night).  It was a good quick read.

    Bummer. I really liked the first one, but have yet to continue the series.

    @j*&amp;p* don't waste your time. I hate not finishing series, but it's really not worth it.

    @hoycie, I know, but in my defense I had already read 2 1/2 of these before you warned me. At that point I was already way too invested.

    Thanks for the warning. Plenty of other books on my TBR anyway.
