I consider this to be a fun way of getting to know new books in no time!
What are you reading right now (1+ book/s)? How do you know this book (recommended by friend/GR...)? Where are you so far (beginning?end?)? What do you think so far?
And for when you finish...
You may add a little review if you feel like it
Or simpy rate it :)
Who'd you recommend this book for? (adventure-lovers, children...)

So...
Am currently reading an ebook of Invincible Summer, which is alright so far. Am around the middle of the book. I must say the writing's good, although the plot isn't the best. Seems like a nice book to read after coping with a 'heavy' read, to relax the body and certainly the mind also. This is not the bomb though :)
Also, reading a paperback of Graceling which is wow, really. Well, this is not a wowish plot. Not yet. But there is something about this YA book that keeps me thinking about it. Katse, for whoever read this book, really very extremely (and weirdly though) reminds me of Katniss Everdeen (out well known Hunger Games 'hero'). I mean, both are girls about the same age who live under such authoroties, can kill something within seconds, do well in bow and arrows, their mentality is pretty much the same, the names of course (Katsa Katniss huh?), both warriors who has a best friend (Gale, Rafin) who's possible in state of deep feelings for her, and a guy she never liked at first but then came to like and be friendly with (Peeta and Po, although I admit it's a shame to compare them cuz Peeta's not my fave character in the world not even a bit close and Po... It seems as if he knows everything and he's so good looking and all so whoops I see a tangled love just around the corner. Nice, isn't it?
