What are you reading? (part drei)
Finishing
which was ok. Not sure why everyone is so excited about it. I'm going to start
It got moved to the top of my tbr pile because I only need F to finish the character name challenge and the heroine's name is Faith....lol

- which was a fun read but not exactly the brilliant masterpiece I was expecting given the hype. Cat and Bones's banter is great but their romance ..."I like the Cat & Bones book but I agree. I think they're fun but I consider them kind of a "starter" vampire book. As you read more in the genre you find books a lot more detailed, complex, etc.

I know there is one more in the Vlad series too but that won't be a read for me probably.

I wish that Vlad would have only been one book. I will probably will read the next one, but will get it from the library.
@Darcy and Alisa that is just disappointing about Twice Tempted. I was looking forward to it. But I am in total agreement about Cat and Bones time to wrap that one up.

It might just be me Dawn. There have been a ton of 5 star reviews & happy readers.
Took a break from fantasy and went into historical romance. I read
I tried
and I just could not get into it so it ended up being a DNFStill not quite ready for fantasy just yet so I am going to read
Finished
A unique take on vampires but it was just ok for me. Not sure why I'm not clicking with this series. FINALLY reading
and loving it. Don't know what took me so long to get to this series.
I tried reading Fifty Shades Darker but could not get into it as much as I could the last two. I'm thinking that it was because I haven't read a PNR/UR in awhile and needed to get back to my roots so to speak. So for now that book is still on my to read list. But I have started The scent of Shadows (First sign of the Zodiac) by Vicki Pettersson. I've heard a lot of good things about this author even from Kim Harrison when I went to a book signing not that long ago. Kim Said that Vicki was one of her favorite authors in the PNR/UR genre. So I'm really excited to see what this book has in store for me.
read
, ended up rating it 4 stars. now thinking of reading

I haven't started them yet.

which I'm enjoying. It was weird at first because this character's been in every book in the series & all of a sudden she comes w/this new plot for him with no set up. He's always been the good guy now not so much. Also listening to
(thank you Dawn) I'm soooooo slow at audio books though I probably won't finish this for months.

next. I've been wanting to read it for awhile & just realized I could get it free w/my Prime membership. Yay!! Just downloaded it last night.

will do - though so far i can tell you Levianthan is one of the best sci-fi books i'v read.
you know how sometimes in sci-fi the authors can go a little... out their in their discriptions? well Levianthan has little drawings ever now and then to help you figure out exactly what the "thing" looks like. lol. very helpful indeed.

I'll give you a more in depth review/opionion once I've finished it tho.

I'm not too far in but I'm reading our BOM
and I'm really enjoying it.

How is Unwind? I keep looking at that book. Unique plot concept. Is it any good?
I'm only 26% in, although I'm liking it, the changes in POV were a smart move from the author, the concept is so unthinkable that I'm drawn to the book and scandalized by it at the same time. The nonchalant way that people deal with the process and the politics is almost crude. Kinda like the fight to the death issue in the hunger games.
Alisa wrote: "How is Unwind? I keep looking at that book. Unique plot concept. Is it any good?"It is a book that will make you think and will stick with you long after you are done. What is wrong and what is right?

while working. My inner junior high boy is loving Bourdain's filthy mouth & crude descriptions of the cooking/restaurant world.

Finishing
which is really good!!Time to get back from UF
I finished
which I thought was really good. Will definately be reading the other books in the series. I got sidetracked a little and read
which was great. I don't usually read contemp romance but I had heard a lot about this book. It lived up to the hype. It was hysterical and was a great romance story. Despite it's greatness I can only dwell in the "real" world for so long. Back to PNR. I'm starting
I am reading
. Will be starting
tomorrow.
Nearly finished
then on to

i ended up devouring the Leviathan series in a few days!! it was fantastic!
read
was fantastic!! super sad its over actually im going to miss Dylan and Alek.now reading
, it started off pretty slow and meh but its getting somewhat interesting now.
Glad VN is picking up Ashliegh, I've got that one, I liked the premise ;)
Sandra wrote: "Glad VN is picking up Ashliegh, I've got that one, I liked the premise ;)"the idea is fantastic, just at the start theres a lot of tech jargon (which to me was a tad confusing, until i got the hang of it) and some other stuff that was somewhat necessary i just found it a tad boring, but my house mate read it the day before me and loved it.
GTK, thanks ;)
about to start, just finished
. It was a nice series.

I don't usually read YA but I thought this was a great series.
April is my month to get caught up on all the series that everyone else but me has read. I'm trying to at least read the first book or two in each this month. So far I read
I liked them both. I am now reading
which I'm also enjoying a lot.

I'm now over half way through and I'm enjoying it a lot more then the first time. Enough that I will read the next one.

I just finished
it was blah for me. I liked the unique world she created but I didn't like the heroine. Not even a little. She was one of those ones where you keep hoping the bad guy will actually get them. I will probably try the next book because I hear the series gets much better. Not going to be on the top of my tbr list though. I was then cruising through my kindle trying to decide what to read & I came across
I had no idea I had it (one of the many signs that I need to go to book rehab). It must have been on sale awile ago or something? (& yet another sign I need to go to book rehab). I'm quite happy about this development so I will probably be starting this tonight.

Just finished
whilst I know a few of you thought it was hard to keep track of the characters, I still enjoyed it.It was strange. Every character. including from the Magnus Pack, made an appearance or was mentioned, yet it all made sense.
It was like real life, where you know a lot of people and some of those people know other people who know some of the people you know. Overall, I found it quite well done. Plus that bit towards the end with Miki & Connall & the computer geek daughter was hilarious.
Finished
and it was yummy. Onto
