You're already rereading Storm Front? Didn't you just read it like a week ago?!

[Zeenat]

3 weeks ago! sheesh that's a long time :P LOL I decided to reread now that Claire, and possibly Mello are reading the rest series.

[Mello ❣ Illium ✮Harry✮ ☀Myrnin☀ Torin]

No possibly! I told you I was about to start reading them again.

I just finished and it was a pretty good sequel. A lot of insanity in that book.

Now it's time to reacquaint myself with Harry Dresden and start

[Jax]

Just finished Starting

And then I plan to read:

[Zeenat]

woooooh, it's a Harry Dresden Parttttty!

[Mello ❣ Illium ✮Harry✮ ☀Myrnin☀ Torin]

It really is.

[Claire]

Hahahah I want to start book 3 soon

[Gin]

I'm up to book 3 as well

Mello did you like . I couldn't get through it. I think I had overdone YA at the time and it felt very young to me.

[Valerie ~ Val Hall ~]

I did not read this book but many like it...and it looks it's free on Amazon, don't know for how long: (YA Fantasy).

[♥ Ashleigh ♥]

finished

I loooooved this book!! One of those YA that completely caught me off guard

[Arushi]

@Zeenat - Maybe amazzballs will catch up? Its a small maybe... but you never know.

@Jax - That is a totally awesome pic!!!!

Death's Rival (Jane Yellowrock, #5) by Faith Hunter

Getting this book reminded me about Raven Cursed, I read that then this one ... and could not stop reading it till I was done.

I did like it. It's not the most mature YA and there's almost too much going on in the story, but I'm really curious to know how things will end up. I didn't realize the third book came out last month, so I will be reading that, too.

I love that book.

[Sarah ♥ dog crazy ♥ , Mircea's Moderatrix]

I'm reading Fevre Dream.

[Dale]

I just finished my 5th book this month, titled Unleash the Night (Were-Hunter #4) by Sherrilyn Kenyon. My next book is Dark Side of the Moon (Were-Hunter #5) by Sherrilyn Kenyon

[Llaph]

@ zeenat:
It is my favorite of the series so far. The love interests are ... though.
(view spoiler)[
It was iffy enough with Rick and Bruiser, now there is Eli and with a weird comment from Beast at the end of the book Leo ... Arre they all needed, really?
(hide spoiler)]

[Valerie ~ Val Hall ~]

I'm on a total Romance binge...on to , and for a change of pace.

[Margo]

Finished Kissed by Darkness and I have to say it was pretty good so I'm reading Kissed by Fire now

[Lannister]

Awesome! I can't wait to hear what you think. I bought it a couple of months back, but I haven't got round to starting it yet.

[Llaph]

@ val:
Conspiracy and Deadly game are two of the books I like best in that series ... I <3 the twins.

(view spoiler)[
Carpathian series ... have nfi why I started it and after finding so many other books to read I don't even want to read it again. Her other series are blah to me too except the Leopard people one for the most part. They are too sappy and the stories are boring in comparison to other books.
It may be stupid, but if she is gonna talk about new orleans and bring up cafe du monde and gators she needs to not call beignets baggettes and refer to gators as crocs ... but I am weird for details sometimes.
(hide spoiler)]

[Valerie ~ Val Hall ~]

Llaph, I can understand you not liking incorrect references. The worst for me is when the author drops sentences in French just to make it look authentic and totally f*cking up the wording. I'm not from New Orleans so I can't confirm if they have saying as grammatically deficient or not like I encounter in books but it makes me wince every time.

[Llaph]

@ val:
I don't know any other languages, but I get what you mean. I can get people screwing up language and terms (which makes me embarrassed for them sometimes for some reason), but actual things that would take a second with google to verify is just dumb.

Finished:

Prince of Power (Chronicles of Yavn, #2) by Elisabeth Staab

I get the same way with medical references. When an author tries to go too much in to detail and uses terms incorrectly, it makes it hard for me to buy. The one I frequently see that irritates me, is when they refer to the jugular pulsing and getting a fresh spray of arterial blood. It's not a friggin artery and it doesn't pulse......that would be the carotid!!! It would take two seconds to look that up. OK, rant over!

[Zeenat]

I get that way about anything psychology or social science related stuff...

[Llaph]

See, a few seconds with google and a person would know, years of experience here with that....
"are there crocodiles in louisiana?"
"what is that thing cafe du monde is famous for selling besides coffee?"

There are the ones who "research" too hard and you get nifty info dumps about a subject you did not really need to hear. Then there are the authors that "wing it" and you are just embarrassed for them ... well I am when I don't get annoyed and have the urge to throw my reader.

[Gin]

Those authors info dumps give away the fact that they just researched it. Spitting out a bunch of facts and terms doesn't make something seem real. The author needs to research so that they know it in their own head, but only write what's necessary to carry the plot.

[Mello ❣ Illium ✮Harry✮ ☀Myrnin☀ Torin]

Ahhhh! I just finished and I cannot believe everything that happened in it. It really amazes me that Harry isn't stark raving mad. He's already seen and done way too much, but after that, he should be at the bottom of the deep end of the pool.

Starting

Exactly.

[Dale]

I just finished my 6th book this month, titled Dark Side of the
Moon (Were-Hunter #5) by Sherrilyn Kenyon. My next book is The Dream Hunter (Dream-Hunter, #1) by Sherrilyn Kenyon

[Sarah]

Finished and I liked it. Not a favorite but interesting premise.

[♥ Ashleigh ♥]

started tonight, i was quiet enjoying the first part of it but now that im half way through the characters have changed heaps and pretty quickly and its turning me off. hopefully it'll get better soon

[Gin]

I've finished I enjoyed it, but there were some details that didn't quite make sense to me. Plus I guessed the bad guy in the very beginning. Even so it was a great first of which I can tell already will most likely be a 5 star series.

Now I think I'll start and I'll probably get through today too.

[Arushi]

@Gin - Will you please review the Greyfriar? I left it unfinished and I need motivation to go back.
I should finish my re-read of the Gauntlet too :)

[Zeenat]

Finish book 14 and you'll wonder how he's even alive with everything he goes through.

Sarah wrote: "Finished and I liked it. Not a favorite but interesting premise."

I know a lot of people are iffy about those books, but I really liked them. I really liked the way the series ended.

[Margo]

I'm not sure about the "better soon" part but I know that there is a movie going to be based on the book.

I actually thought it was cute love story but nothing special and yes halfway through I thought that the author had changed or she lost the concept of the story :/

[Margo]

Oh and reading Kissed by Smoke :)

[Gin]

Will do. It looks good, I've been eyeing it a while now. What was wrong with it that caused you to not finish?

[Valerie ~ Val Hall ~]

Started and really don't know what to expect.

[Sarah]

Yes, I'm reading because you recommended! I like the characters and story and will see where it goes. What I didn't like was some plot holes. Reasons for some things didn't really make sense, but I'm trying to ignore that. The whole Ben thing is sad.

[Llaph]

@ Ashley:
I heard good things about that book, but I did not get past the first few chapters. I can't fathom why other than it seemed so cliche to me. I did skip around and read some parts and thought they were interesting, just didn't want to read through the book. I think I ruined it for me with the skipping. :x

@ Sarah W:
Ben is one of the reasons I did not get past the 1 st half of book 2. Just too sad ... I am such a girly girl sometimes.

[Zeenat]

Finished . It was REALLY good.

Will start a new UF series tomorrow. . Rereading

[♥ Ashleigh ♥]

@ Margo,

yea i liked how trav was strong and confident, now he just seems like a little boy who constantly throws wobberly's. Abs was cool cause she seemed fairly innocent but still had a past. i cant even explain how she's changed im just not impressed with it. lol.

it kinda feels like the story should of ended by now but the author randomly decided to keep going.

[♥ Ashleigh ♥]

@ Llaph,

yea the reason why i picked this book up was cause of all the good stuff i was hearing about it!! but so far its really lacking. i'll keep reading and if it doesnt get any better soon i'll prob put it down and just wait for the movie.
