Let me know what the first book you are planning on reading this semester. What's the title? What are you excited about in terms of the book?
For me, it's all about "How Children Succeed". I am excited to read this to read more about child psychology.

I have a long list of books on my "to read" list. I have just added another title based on what 2 students in Readers' Workshop have recommended....PURE by Julianna Baggott. Thanks for the recommendation, girls.

I am going to read The Mountain Between Us by Charles Martin. Charles Martin generally writes love stories, smilar to Nicholas Sparks. I have enjoyed all of Nicholas Sparks' books so I am looking forward to reading this one.

I'm planning on reading Before I Fall by Lauren Oliver. I' excited to read this because it's all about life and how you spend your time on earth, through the eyes of a teenage girl which sounds very ineresting to me.

I am going to read The Replacement by Brenna Yovanoff. I'm excited to read this book because it seems to have a mystery to it. The main character was put in place of another baby when he was little and the mystery is trying to figure out why.

The book I am reading is called A Million Little Pieces by James Frey. I was very excited to start reading it after a friend recommended it thinking I'd enjoy it. It grabbed my attention right away and already I'm half way through the book.

The book I just read was called BoyMeetsGirl by Meg Cabot. Mrs. Shaw recommended it to me. I found it to be full of humor and it was a page turner for sure.

Million little pieces is gruesome in the beginning. His description of a root canal sans pain medication is greuling.

The book I am reading is Looking For Alaska by John Green. I have heard several good things about not only this novel, but John Green as an author. I chose Looking For Alaska in particular because I put one of my favorite books into Library Things and this novel came up as a recomendation.

I have read many of the books discussed here. Glad to hear the recommendation feature of Librarything is helping find some other books to read :)

I'm reading A Child Called "It" by David Pelzer. I wasn't really excited to read it. I just read it because my friend told me it was a good book and it's something i haven't read before. I was expecting it to be sad but it just amazed me the things that happened.

I am reading "Sharps Battle". I am exited to read it. It takes place during the Napoleonic Wars from the British point of view and sometimes switching to the french side.

I am currently reading Seraphina by Rachael Hartman. I had a friend who tried to read it, but couldn't get into it, but I found that after the first several pages, it startes to get rather interesting. Now nearly halfway through, I throughly enjoy this book.

The First book I read was Saint Iggy by K. L. Going. It was the worst book I have ever read. I dont recommend it. I read a book by the same person last year and it was so funny and i really liked it but this one was really crappy. >:p

I read Seventeenth Summer by Maureen Daly. This book had interesting parts, but overall was rather dull. If I had time to switch books I definitely would have I would not recommend it.
