Emma (M)’s comments from the Nothing But Reading Challenges group.

Erica, for me the narration of Gone Girlwas fabulous and I enjoyed the book more for it.

Also, The Helpwas fabulous as an audio book.

I am listening to Poison Princessat the moment. Which has a MC with a cajun dialect. I think this would be painful to read, but I love listening to on the audio book. I also think reading this book would be a bit tedious as it is quite slow in parts, but I love the narration so much that I am really enjoying the book.

Same here V. They can make a book fantastic or completely ruin it.

I am about 20% of the way in right now and I have to say I am really struggling to get into the story. I have seen reviews say that it does start to suck you in around this point, so I am really hoping that is the case. At the moment it is too easy to get side tracked by other books so i can going to make myself read another couple of chapters tonight.

So I'm about half way through and I can just feel the tension building. Mr Mercedes, the 'badie' is very disturbed and so very creepy, which I love. Everytime I listen to it in my car I get totally absorbed in the story.

I really like Bill Hodges as the protagonist. I just can't help root for him, and I love that the lead character is a 62 yr old retiree!

I have just started reading if any one wants to join me.
There was a revisit of the BR for this book in December and the link is Here for anyone interested.

I've just started reading this. So far it is better than I expected, but isn't really blowing me away. I'm in two minds if I like Clary and Jace much at the moment, although I am sure I will decide either way once I get to know the characters better. I hope Simon makes more of an appearance than he is so far, (view spoiler)[ and I hope he gets to spend some more time with Isabelle :). One thing that is annoying me is clary getting upset that he likes Isabelle. I have to roll my eyes when the female lead treats their male buddy as just that for years, until their buddy likes someone else,then it's all jealousy and 'I didn't realise he was handsome' ugh (hide spoiler)]

Yay ST!

I've been eyeing too - looks good!"

It's a bit slow going but I am still enjoying it. I really like the female narrator. I think this book is better as an audible than it would be to read because of the Cajun accents.

I saw the thread for those challenges yesterday. Looks like a lot of fun so will be giving it a go when it starts again :)

This is the first I've read of SK's newer books (last book of his I read was in the 90's!) and it's been really good so far.

So, as you guys probably know Audible has a sale on first of series books. I just went and had a look and am so stoked because I was able to pick up a series I have wanted to start for a while but has been too expensive for me at the moment. Plus, based on everything you girls have been saying I was also able to pick up . I am so excited :). I also threw in for good measure. I can't go past a sale!

Crap, I just checked out The Challenge Factory after V popped her challenge links in and I couldn't resist and have joined up. So many challenges, so little time!! I think I am addicted :(
