I plan on reading the Iron Fey Series. It seems a lot of members really liked the books so I am going to give them a try.

Right now I am reading Destined by Jessie Harrell. So far its a great take on the Cupid and Psyche mythology.

So I finished 'So Yesterday' by Scott Westerfeld and 'Mockingjay' by Suzanne Collins and gave both 4 stars on GR

Now I'm reading 'Red Riding Hood' by Sarah Blakley-Cartrwight, but I'm still on the first chapters

I just finished The Gamble by Kristen Ashley - it was really good. I am going to keep going on my Kristen Ashley kick she is just awesome.

Suike76 you are my hero!! btw- The Iron Fey series rocks but I would recommend NOT reading the 4th book (it really sucked- if you feel the need to know what happens, then read the first and last chapters and that's it. if you do decide to read the whole book don't say i didn't warn you.....)

Another good book is The Iron Witch by Karen Mahoney- i absolutely LOVED this book and feel it's not getting enough publicity so i'm going to make it my mission to 'upsell' it at every opportunity.

I just finished The Scorpio Races... I can't remember who recommended it (someone from the Nov thread) but THANK YOU! I loved the book. I had really liked Stiefvater's Lament but hated the rest of her books (Ballad, Mercy Falls series) so I was iffy about reading S.R., plus a lot of people said the romance in the book sucked- I beg to differ. I think it was a lot more romantic then people give it credit for. It was sweet.

I have no clue what to start next...think I'm going to try and hold out for Clockwork Prince because I am desperate to read it and don't think I'll be able to focus on much else until then

Jessadia - I might have to try the Scorpio Races too. I've also heard the romance was lacking in the book so I've swayed against reading it.

Just finished reading obsidian. I highly recommend to anyone who loves sci fi with a steaming romance. Definitely a book I will read again.

That's the perfect description of the romance in all her books I think. Sweet. Her romance is very subtle. Which is always a nice change.

I finished The Eleventh Plague, and I'm still working my way through Zone One. I'm not sure how I'm feeling about this book yet. It's definately not an easy read. I'm also about halfway through Dark Inside and I'm really loving it.

I finished The Eleventh Plague. It was pretty good and I gave it a 4 out of 5 stars on Goodreads. I still haven't picked back up Zone One. Instead I read Dark Inside by Jeyn Roberts. I really enjoyed this book and the way the author devoted each chapter to an individual character. I just started Sudden Independents by Ted Hill.

The ad when I was reading this right above your post is for the series, how freaky is that?

Finished Meg:Origins by Steve Alten (too short imo and not enough of the giant killer shark) and might start Shattered Dreams by Ellie James if I get more time this week.

I just finished For You by Kristen Ashley and it was really good too. With each of her books I keep thinking that one is not going to be as good as the other. That is not the case each was one has been awesome. I am going to keep on with the rest of her books.

I am afraid I don't have much to add.
My completed list
1.Clockwork Prince - Cassandra Clare (Completed it on Dec 7th - My new personal best

)
2.A Rare Gift
3.Forever ... - Judy Blume
Sorry but that's all I got for now. Hope to increase it significantly.

The Scorpio Races was def. a good read

I just finished Obsidian and I absolutely loved it- one of the best books of the year! I am having a hard time deciding what to start next so I think I'm gonna read Half-Blood by Armentrout then decide from there...
