As I have stated before on The Classy Bookshelf, I enjoy, no, LOVE, a good series book. Heck, I enjoy a bad series book. (See: Sweet Valley High in my middle school years)
I have been on quite a reading kick lately. Despite the fact that I haven't been paying for books lately (GO ME!! Go public library!), I have still managed to find some decent books to check out and devour on my kindle.
First up, somebody mentioned a million years ago that they had started reading this series. I hadn't a clue what it was about... but now that I know, it's totally up my alley.
The Gallagher Girls' series is a book about young female spies and their top-secret all-girls spy school. It's totally adorable, and yes, young-adult but I'm into it. They are quick, easy reads. Perfect for the pool!
Next up, the Fallen series by Lauren Kate.
These books could be considered science-fiction. It's about fallen angels, demons, and magical powers. I know it sounds cheesy, but there's a love story woven in and it's very compelling. After adjusting to the mythical element, I flew through these books. The fourth book is soon-to-be-released and I found out Disney has purchased the rights to all four books. Yes please!!
Next up... I've got the 50 Shades books ready to go as well as Insurgent. I can't believe I haven't ditched my current book to read that one, actually.
Soo... what are you reading this week??

The Red Queen by Phillipa Gregory. She's an amazing writer :)
I am reading The Fault in Our Stars by John Green (tearjerker!).
I cannot WAIT to see your tweets/comments when you start reading Fifty Shades...
I can't wait to read Insurgent! I had to finish the 50 Shades books first (didn't love them) but now I'm ready to start. I'm also waiting on a book called Flagrant Conduct to arrive from the library. (It's about the landmark Lawrence v. Texas Supreme Court case.)
I am trying to read the first 50 Shades book. Not sure if I like it yet. LOL
I don't get a lot of time to read these days, so I take my time in 15 minute increments. :)
The Fallen series looks right up my alley! I love science fiction and fantasy books!
I love you and your trashy reads. No seriously, I do...
Just finished the last book in "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" series...so, so, good. And different from what I usually read.
Up next...50 Shades and "The Fault in Our Stars" by John Greene (sp? Green?)
Thank you for the book suggestions! I'm such a sucker for Young Adult books these days.
