It's actually not that bad out. The sidewalks aren't icy anymore so I won't be slipping on my way to class today! There's still some snow in various parts on campus, but for the most part it has all melted.

His lips biting at my sleeve is what wakes me. Reborn by Tara Brown Side note: The main character has a pet wolf...Just thought I'd point that out so the sentence didn't sound kind of weird

Welcome to the forum!

Welcome to the forum!

This is so sad...Alan Rickman was an amazing actor and I enjoyed all of his movies. He will definitely be missed. "Always."

I usually read books on my kindle as well, but when others purchase books for me for Christmas they're usually a physical copy. That being said, with the physical copies I got this year, my mom also got me bookmarks that you can color on to go with them! Each bookmark has a different design outlined that you can color in. I've already colored on one and put it in one of my books. I love it!

I missed the read-a-thon for this month, but I'll definitely participate in the future.

I also have not read any books for 2016 so far. I was going to start over my winter break, but I somehow managed to forget my kindle in my dorm room which happens to be almost 2 hours away. However, I was fortunate enough to receive a ton of Barnes and Noble gift cards this Christmas that I was able to surround myself with some amazing titles! I'll probably start reading again tomorrow if I can get over this ridiculous feeling of anxiety I get when I read more than one book at once - it almost feels like guilt. It's weird.

Thank you so much

The last book I read in 2015 was Weavers by Kate Avery Ellison. It wasn't as good as I was expecting it to be...I didn't feel connected to the characters as much as I did in the earlier books, so that was disappointing to me.

Thanks, I'm happy to be here!

Sure is, Peacefield. I can't wait for it to come out, especially since the first book is becoming a movie!

I have a lot of books I'm looking forward to in 2016 even though I still have to finish my list from 2015. I'll get caught up eventually! In the meantime, here is a list of some of the books I'm excited to purchase in 2016: The Winner's Kiss by Marie Rutkoski The Last Star by Rick Yancey The Crown by Kiera Cass The Glittering Court by Richelle Mead

I agree, Athena. The fifth book was kind of a let down for me, but that's okay. Doesn't diminish my excitement for the 6th one. I think you'll really like the 5th season! I love watching the TV show - I have all the seasons on DVD so far and I watch them all the time. You won't be disappointed! Yeah, I figured it would be awhile for the 6th book to come out. My brother showed me an interview George R.R. Martin participated in and he explained how he can only write in his own house when he feels like it. He doesn't like writing while traveling, which I think makes sense!

I actually love Goodreads! I use it quite often - usually to find recommendations or ratings. I really like setting my reading challenge on there because after the new year, it shows you all your stats from the previous year! I didn't make my reading goal of 50 this year due to school, but I hope to make my reading goal this year!
