I cannot get past the third chapter of . The MC is pissing me off already.

I'm also trying to read . It's not so bad. But both books seem to be making the same mistake.
Why do so many authors tell us how incredible a character is instead of showing it to us by their actions? No, I don't want a secondary character to comment how smart and witty you are, I want it to be present in the way you carry a conversation. No, I don't want to be told of the great skills you have in >insert whatever here<. It means nothing if you don't use your skills anyway.>rant over<

I couldn't agree with your rant more! Hate it when an author tells the reader instead of showing. For me it's the difference between a great author and an okay one.

Exactly. In YA it feels like the author thinks we, the readers (though I'm not a teen anymore, so I'm not the targeted demographic, but still), don't have the capacity to notice things and understand stuff ourselves. I take it as an insult to our intelligence.
In adult novels, it's simply unforgivable.

I'm not about to give up on it. I read great things, so I hope I will start enjoying it soon. Just something about the mc rubs me the wrong way, and since it's from her POV, I'm having a bit of a difficult time.

[Vega_girl]

Agnes I could not agree with you more!!! Throne of Glass took forever for me to actually get into and then....it was just okay. You should read that one is nonstop!! I loved it!!

Thanks for the suggestion! I will definitely give it a go, once I got through these two books first.

[Karen]

I'm reading and I agree with Barb! is very fast paced with lots of showing, not telling! I really enjoyed it!

[Vega_girl]

Karen keep me posted on your thoughts on the rest of the TMI series......

Yes yes. I like the style of writing, two persons POV.

I'm so excited that you are trying another M/M Romance and I absolutely loved that book!! Maybe I won't be the only M/M reader around here. hahahahahaha

It looks like I can't help myself and am going to read book 3 after finishing book 2. :D But I'm dying to start for my pick it for me challenge and I'm using it for my other challenges. Plus, my son is reading in school, so I'm doing a re-read (it's been 30 years), so I can help him and use it for the 2015 Challenge. Always too much to read and not enough time!!

[Vega_girl]

I know!!! Way too many books and never enough time!!

[Chris]

Christine I don't read M/M novels xD but have you read . It seems a hit when it came out

[Chris]

Barb is it true that there is a movie adaptation for "obsidian" ??

If that's so, maybe I'll read this before I continue Throne of glass series :D

I thought it was really good. The M/M thing didn't bother me. It reminded me a lot of Him, but since Sarina Bowen wrote that one too, it makes sense. I think she's good at addressing all sorts of issues and sex doesn't matter.

[Ági]

Okay, after days I finally finished with . I think sometimes I'm too kind with ratings, but I'm really torn.

So now I'm starting with ! Can I just say that I love maps? I think it's the first most important thing in a fantasy novel.

It's been optioned for a movie in 2013. I don't know of any other developments, but according to the author things are moving along.

I'm reading for my two month challenge

Hey, did you guys see Amy Harmon's is only $.99 right now on Kindle? Have you guys read that one yet? I still haven't read an Amy Harmon book, so this is going to be the first! Here is the link.

Yea I did. I read it, and like all of Amy Harmon books, I loved it. You should definitely read it.

[Deanna]

Awesome! Thanks!

I did ....but this was not a favorite of mine....I would start with if you want to be blown away by her!!!

[Vega_girl]

@ Agnes, I agree 100%!!! My husband makes fun of me because I spend a good 10-15 minutes studying a map before I start the story!!! Maps make everything so much simpler!!! If you are big in this genre you should check out my shelves. I probably read dystopian sci-fi fantasy more than anything else!! I love the fight!!

Yes, I read him and gave it 5 stars! I'm happy to see some popular M/F Romance writers starting to write some M/M Romance books.

Yes, a 5* book for me, but every book I've read to date of Amy Harmon has been 5 stars. Like Barbara mentioned Making Faces is my favorite, but I would recommend any of her books.

So glad you enjoyed The Understatement of the Year. It was similar to "Him" but

[110099]

Reading I know this book will definitely ruin me

Yeah! It's so nice to actually have real visual of the world building, it's what I missed the most from the Hunger Games series.
Thanks! I'll definitely check your shelves out! But I have waaaay too many books I want to read as it is. I haven't heard about the Covenant series before. I just hope they stay true to the books. I really hated The Duff movie. That was not at all what the book was about. So just no.

[Deanna]
