It's good but the ending is kinda flat but it sort of left it open for a sequel. Here's my review http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

[Barb]

According to an author interview I watched here on Goodreads, he isn't planning to do a sequel. I'm one of the folks who really liked this book, even though the ending wasn't what I expected.

Here we go! Join in for one week, two weeks, or all - or none - of them. As long as something that color on the cover catches your eye.

Lisa Kay I actually read one more pick cover - message 1087 - That I finished reading yesterday :-D



Kinda just happen the reading of not 1 but 2 pick covers. We'll just have to see if I just happen to read any Red covers this week ;-)

Just check this month's TBR and I have 1 red, 1 purple, and 2 white covers. But one white cover is book 1 in a series with book 3 being the red. Im right now reading an extra book that has a red cover. Surprise, surprise. And I have a couple on stand bys or extras that have the color of the week. So I might get a few more books with the right cover in the right week. :-O

thanks for the link,Barbara!

[Christal]

I'll join in for the red cover since I had already planned to start today!

Ah, yes. I was wondering if that was pink. I thought it was red, but I can see other editions that look more pink. I'll edit your number, ★gwendolyn★. Well done.

Thank you Lisa Kay

Yes, I finished on the 8th but my computer was having problems and I haven't been on in a couple of days. I'm finishing up hopefully tonight or tomorrow so I can start reading for red cover week!

I loved and keep saying eventually I will read the second one and haven't got to it yet LOL

[Lisa Kay]

Great, Nancy. I took away the ???

[✿Claire✿]

Finally seem to be getting back into the swing of reading again after a busy couple of weeks. Read yesterday so managed to get one red cover done already :) I also finished but it took me several days to read it so I don't think that counts for the bookcover challenge.

[Jess]

Finished and although that edition says it's over 170 pages my version was 147, so just a bit too short for this challenge. I think the next book in that series is too short by about 5 pages too, how rude of them :P

[Midu]

read the last page 5 more times? lol

[★ gwiz ★]

Finished Reading and it's a Red Dress on the cover :-D



Up next is Incarceron series
Which has 2 more Red cover ;-D

The paperback version (as long as it is NOT a Large Print edition) is acceptable to go by for page count, Jess. Go ahead and "tag" it with your bookshelf for this challenge.

[Lisa Kay]

Claire, I think we should allow this, as long as you finished it this week.

I liked it too (4 stars) and I'm not sure how he would do a sequel it just seemed to me as if he left his options open.

[Barbara ★]

finished and .

Still working on and starting - both buddy reads.

[Vikki]

Barbara - what did you think of Shadow Of Night?

Yeah, I know what you mean. Until I heard that interview with him, I thought there was a possibility of a sequel too.

Thanks for the info, I've tagged it now :)

[Jess]

Bit the bullet last night and made an account on Audible.com, then found a sale on so I bought , and all for under $15, so happy! Started listening to House of Suns last night but I'm guessing it will take me a while to get through 18 hours worth of book.

Sandy, what did you think of Rules of Civility?

Jayme VA wrote: "Sandy, what did you think of Rules of Civility?"

Jayme, as I was reading it, I kept thinking I didn't like it very much. But when I was done, I gave it 4 stars. I really liked the setting (1930s New York)and historical aspects, but the characters weren't very likable and you just want to slap the main character!

[Lisa Kay]

Sandy, glad to see you enjoyed DoS&B.

[✿Claire✿]

Just finished , really really good book. Also finished , really really not a good book!

I'm currently reading lots of books at once - and for buddy reads and several others as well. Making the most of the fact that I don't have much to do in the lab this week to catch up!

[SandyC]

Lisa Kay wrote: "Sandy, glad to see you enjoyed DoS&B."

Yes I did! I listened to about 3/4 of it. The narrator was so good! I want to read the next one, but waiting since book 3 won't be out until 2013.

[Lisa Kay]

Yeah, I feel the say way... but I do have #2 in both audio and Kindle... or maybe it is paperback. I'd best double check. LOL!

I really liked it though it has a slow start and it kind of drags in the middle. Here's my review http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

[Nancy]

I have just started . Haven't gotten too far into it yet and haven't had a lot of reading time. But hoping to get it read so I have one book for red week!

What did you think of Life As We Knew It? I've had it on my shelf for a couple of years now but have yet to read it.

I finished last night and am now reading and listening to

Jess, it is written in a journal style and that puts some people off. I liked that. And since the MC's a teenager, she "hated" her mom one day and "loved" her the next, it made it feel real. The second one is about a different kid, so I'm thinking of skipping that one & reading the third.

I meant to say it won't be out until 2014! Let me know if you want to buddy read #2 some time. :-)

Okay, however, I might want to read the next Lady Emily before then.

I loved the Life as We Knew It books and can't wait for the next one! Midu, I would not recommend skipping the second one and I'd read them all in order. For people who like audio, these were really well done.

Thanks for the info Sandy! I've wanted to read this book since it came out, but something has kept me from actually picking it up.

[Krystal]

Finally finished the book I was reading now on to book 3 for the year :)

I'm so excited to get started on it!

[Krystal]

I also didn't even realize it was read cover week! Whew go me!

[Skandia]

Finished . I just couldn't stand the heroine Mac, she ruined the book for me.

Now reading and starting

[Kirsten]

Just finished not a red cover but I enjoyed it anyways. I got the second in the series as an ARC copy from a local book store (they are naughty and sell their "not for sale" ARCs super cheap) so hoping to get to reading that before it is published officially March 1st. (sounds a bit too ambitious for me lol)

That'll be after I start and finish reading for my book club meeting near the start of March as well. eek.

[Barbara ★]

Today I finished both which was ok but way too religious for my tastes and which I absolutely loved. The writing style reminded me of .

I am currently listening to and since I will spend tonight updating all my challenges, tomorrow I will start a red book .
