Cleaning out my kindle. :) finished The Weird Girls. Starting .

[Claire]

Ugh I started another book last night but I'm not into it either.

I think I'm in the mood for something sightly more fluffy and upbeat, since it's summer. But not necessarily sappy.

I was having this problem the other day, Claire. After reading Anne Bishop, Jim Butcher and CJ Roberts this month, not much else compared. I did read a few pretty good books, aside from those this month, though.

I finished last night and enjoyed it even though the heroine was quite fickle.

@claire:
By light and fluffy do you mean funny too? You could start a Molly Harper series ... you don't have to read them in order and there are around 3 series I think. I prefer her latest Half moon hollows that starts with Driving Mr. Dead ... then there is The Care and Feeding of Stray Vampires, followed by the latest A Witch's Guide to Kisses and Curses. I like her naked werewolf series two, there are only 2 in that series so far.
It all starts with her nice girl series with Jane though, she gets turned after being mistaken for a deer by a drunk redneck and being shot.... Oh, and that day she gets fired from her librarian job.
Not everybody will find the funny though ... I will say that I laugh @ her books as much as I laughed at Jane True books, if not more. They read fast too, not saying much since I tend to read fast anyways. For me the funny isn't over done, but I have a weird sense of humor.

Oh, and any romance is, to me, on the funny side and not the main focus of the book/series and not sappy as hell. (I tend to skip sappy books though.)

[Claire]

@Llaph Yes, something like Jane True. I guess the series is just stuck in my head. I'll check out Molly Harper.

Forged Of Shadows (Marked Souls #2) by Jessa Slade

I didn’t really get the first book, I am still kind of confused. This is what happens when I run out of books to read….

I really liked Driving Mr. Dead … maybe I will read it again.

[Mon]

hey everyone! Did you guys have ever read Angelfall by Susan Ee??

Seriously, is YA, but is freaking good. I'm reading it again now, and really, sooooo much fun fun fun!

If you haven't yet, check it out!

Lannister and I have read it. I can't remember if everyone else has or not. I need to check their lists. We finally have a release date and blurb for book 2! I'm so excited!

[Margo]

Yeah, I've read Angelfall, but I didn't like it much. Dystopia is really not my favorite genre so it wasn't to my taste. But good news for those of you who have read it. They are making a movie out of it, so soon (2014 or early 2015) you will be able to watch it in cinemas :)

YEEEEEAH! I mean, susan managed so many creepy scenes, with humor, romance and action in such a short book... and the heroine is amazing. Can't wait for the next one too :)

awn @Margo, I think it will be only 2015. but it suck's it wasn't to your taste :/

I lol a lot when I read the queen Betsy series by Mary Janice Davidson mostly at the ridiculousness of Betsy .The books are also fast reads but the last two were a little dark and different tho.q

[Amber]

Finished . Not sure what it was that didn't sit right with me about the book. I think the relationships that just popped up and were serious overnight kind of distracted and didn't feel right to me.

[Llaph]

re: Angelfall
I loved that book and I usually don't read much YA. The movie can go diaf though since I rarely if ever saw a movie made from a book that I liked.
I like dystopianish books for the most part, but it is not a serious got to read this sort of thing to me. I tend to compare them to awesome books that I have already read....
Ooo blurb on the next book--going to check it out now.

@amber:
I have read the first few books of that series, but it got to silly.weird to me so I didn't read past the 4th book I think. Prolly because I couldn't really relate to Betsy ... she is a girly girl ... I so am not. Jane Jameson is more of a girl that I can relate to. Plus the whole redneck/south thing really makes me laugh because, sadly, it is so true.

[Amber]

@Llaph
I haven't read the Jane Jameson books so I couldn't compare. I completely understand about Betsy being too girly I laughed at how rediculous she was especially about her shoes.

[Llaph]

@ amber:
I highly reccomend anything by Molly Harper. It looks like I am a massive fangirl right about now too ... lol.
I don't get shoes or purses ... I am happy with my tennis shoes. I am a simple person, my sisters though love expensive shoes. Weirdly, my sister Angie collects comforters, bras, and shoes ... figure that out.

Apocalyptic Moon by Eva Gordon

I read this book a while back, I normally don’t like zombie books too much, but I loved this one. It is a mix of scary/funny. You know how it is, you read a book that is not normally one that you would pick and it ends up being an awesome read.

[♥ Ashleigh ♥]

its taking me forever to read so I might put it down for a bit and get a head start on before it has to go back to the library.

Only once? I find myself wanting to mentaly throat punch her in frustration a couple of times a book ... lol. I think Terrible makes up for it though. :)"

LOL, I do know how you feel. Chess has to be the most self-sabotaging character I've ever come across. Just when things seem to be going right, her complete lack of self-esteem wakes up and ruins things. Sometimes I feel angry with her, but other times I feel so sorry for her cos she's been through some hideous stuff and she's a mess.

She's definitely one of the most interesting UF characters though, and I've actually teared up once or twice at her scenes with Terrible and that's not something that happens often when I read UF.

Amber, I read this too and I did like it, but I agree about some of it seeming unrealistic.

I was annoyed with the relationship with the sisters. It felt like they had no other friends beyond each other. They all lived together, they worked together and they hung out together. That's just not realistic. Even the closest families need a break from each other now and then. And I agree with you about how they went out that night and all met guys at the same time. That kind of thing just doesn't happen. It was all too neat and perfect and it makes you roll your eyes.

I felt it's a series with a lot of potential and I will probably read the next one to see how it develops, but I think the author's hurting the story with her sisterly relationships. It doesn't feel real to me.

Mon, I loved this book! And I say that as someone who doesn't read YA. I hadn't realised that the release date for book two had been announced so I'm totally excited for that!!

Roll on November! :D

[Llaph]

@ lannister:

I am in agreement, it is rare for me to tear up with any book too. To me Chess feels so much more because of it. :)

[Claire]

I've never really liked YA books, and I really hate dystopian novels. I'm not a fan.

[Lannister]

Llaph, I think it's because Chess goes from such highs (quite literally!) to real lows that you're on the emotional rollercoaster with her and everything affects you so much more. I want to scream at her sometimes when she's screwing up things with Terrible AGAIN!

Do we have any idea when the next Downside book is due? It's been a while, I think.

Claire, I feel exactly the same way! I haven't even read Hunger Games since I don't like YA or Dystopian, and yet somehow I was persuaded to try Angelfall, and I was slightly amazed by how much I liked it!

[Claire]

It sounds like I'd hate the Downside Ghosts series too. Not really my cup of tea.

I'm really not in the mood for anything dark right now. I have to go on the hunt for something good. I'm almost tempted to start another Demonica book, but that's probably because my habit when I've started a series is to read all the books available to me. I did that with Dark Hunter and got all the way to book 11/12 before I got burned out =p

[Llaph]

@ lannister:
GR lists the next as coming out July 4th, but it has no title or blurb so who knows? There is supposed to be a shortish story coming out from Terrible's pov.
I think it is mainly because it is a believable high and low ... not something just switched between extremes. Hard to explain!

@claire:
I gave my reccomendation! I have others, but they tend to lean towards the down right silly and not just funny. I save those for when I really am feeling crappy.
So many genres....

I still say you should set up some sort of randomizer picker and use that.

[Claire]

I think it'll depend on what I can get from the library or borrow from somewhere else.

[Diane]

Since we're talking Downside has anyone heard when the next book is coming out?

[Diane]

Sorry I see that question was already answered

Diane, you should give it a try. It's well worth a read.

A little over halfway through . Can't wait to see what happens.

[Claire]

Still haven't started reading anything new. I feel vaguely empty

[Margo]

@Claire - Well to be honest, I was a little disappointed by Tempest Rising. I liked it, but there was too much romance and not enough action for my liking.

I enjoyed Tracking the Tempest. It was funny and there was less romance and more action, but still painfully predictable.

I really liked Tempest's Legacy for the same reason I enjoyed book 2, except, I have to say that I really didn't expect the ending like that. So that's a huge plus.

Well for now that's it. I only just started Eye of the Tempest late last night, so I don't have an opinion yet.

[Claire]

I also didn't love Tempest Rising. But the books got better. By the time I read Tempest's Legacy I was hooked.

[Zeenat]

my favorite was eye of the tempest.

[Amber]

Ok I needed a light and fluffy and took ur advice. @Llaph.

[Llaph]

I really like the main series but love the spin offs more. :x I hope that you like it enough to try the other 2 series ... though the werewolf one is set in alaska not kentucky.

[Amber]

Well only a few chapters in and I'm laughing so it looks good so far.

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

Finished and . Totally loved this trilogy. Will definitely be a reread in the future.

Starting the sequel series with

[Amber]

Finished which I enjoyed very funny. Also finished this one was not as good but still had hilarious moments just not much story. Starting .

[Llaph]

imo the best books are the half moon hollows and naked werewolves ... jane was just a starting point. :x

[Claire]

Just read . I loved it! I definitely plan on reading the next one. It was just the sort of light, fluffy book I was looking for. I really liked the main character, minus her complete and utter lack of fashion sense.

[Llaph]

Mortal Ties (World of the Lupi, #9) by Eileen Wilks

Now to wait till September for Ritual Magic and however long it takes to get a hold of it to read. Heart of obsidian and Siege and Storm came out today … but I think it will be a while till I will get a hold of them to read. Bleh

@Claire:
I read that book … it was too silly for me lol. There is a sequel also, but I did not check it out.

[Claire]

Llaph, have you looked at the Molly Harper books you recommended?? Some of them see patently ridiculous!

[Llaph]

@ claire:

Yes, I know! The type of silly is what is different to me. I like her books while that one book just annoyed me.

It is like pepsi vs coke....

[Claire]

Interesting. I also read which I really enjoyed.

[♥ Ashleigh ♥]

read have to say i really enjoyed this series, its YA but doesnt feel YA peob cause there's some pretty serious shit going on in these books.
started which i have been enjoying from the get go!! way more than i thought i would based on the cover, i know i know dont judge the book by its cover but sometimes you cant help it. cant wait to keep reading it

[Amber]

I finished the Jane Jameson series it was alright the first book was the funniest. I will prob start the spin offs later I have had my fill for now.

[Luichy]
