I just finished up The Maze Runner, Girl on the Train, Infinite Sea and now I'm reading Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children. I asked for books for Mother's Day and just got Cinder in the mail, so I have lots to look forward to in the book world!
What are you reading? What have you read lately that you love, or books that you are looking forward to reading soon.

Currently reading Crown of Midnight, book 2 in the Throne of Glass series. Really Good.
Just finished Rooms by Lauren Oliver. She wrote the Delirium series which I loved, this one was good, but not a fav.
Next up is Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard.

I'm currently reading Siobhan Vivian's brand new book, THE LAST BOY AND GIRL IN THE WORLD. Loving it so far!
@josina: OOOH, loved The Red Queen! ETA: The sequel was good, too, but I liked the first more.

Currently reading: The Iron King by Julie Kagawa. If I enjoy the end as much as I'm enjoying the middle, I'll have to get the next books in the series!
Recently read: Blood Song and Tower Lord by Anthony Ryan - soooooo good! And before that was the Red Rising series by Pierce Brown, which was FANTASTIC. Also recently read the Traveler's Gate trilogy by Will Wight, which started off slow, but got pretty good at the end.

@pregnantbee: The sequel to Red Queen came out earlier this year! Have you read that one yet?
I just finished The Raven King (last book in the Raven Boys series) and it was great. The last book in a series is always bittersweet. I'm re-reading The Heir so I can read the next book in the Selection series, which came out yesterday. I haven't started it yet, but I just received Raising Cain, too.

I just finished After You, the sequel to Me Before You and it was really good! I went into it thinking a sequel to that book would be really crappy / not well written but I really enjoyed it.

@twodoghouse: Eek. Yes, I did read the sequel. Completely mixed up this one with a different series AN EMBER IN THE ASHES, by Sabaa Tahir -- that sequel comes out at the end of August.
Also, I can't believe I missed that The Crown came out yesterday!

I just finished What Happened to Goodbye by Sarah Dessen (LOVE her, rereading a lot of her books lately) and now I'm reading No Angel by Penny Vincenzi.

@pregnantbee: Oh, I loved An Ember in the Ashes too! Excited for the sequel! I kept remembering that The Crown was coming out because it was out the same day as A and B's birthday!

@Bao: did you love any of these? Looking for some new books for our book club
So far this year I've read:
All the Light We Cannot See
Inside the O'Briens
The Light Between Oceans
What Alice Forgot
Me Before You

I liked all of them - some more fluffy than others but I enjoyed them all
Currently reading The Storied Life of AJ Fikry

@sandy: I enjoyed all of them, the Infinite Sea was a little boring and confusing in spots but the rest I gave 5 stars!

Rereading Harry Potter, currently on PoA. Garbo (book about a spy in WWII). Project Based Homeschooling. It's Okay Not to Share.

@sera_87: what was your thoughts on Salt to the Sea? I have that one on hold
pomegranate / 3604 posts
@Bao: fairly decent. interesting to learn about that particular piece of history since it doesn't seem to be as well known and it was worse than Titantic.

@Bao: I've made it to page 197 
where are you in the book?
