Just finished
and whilst it was good, chuckling rather than LOL, and I enjoyed it; not sure if I'll continue with the series. Steampunk can be rather hit or miss for me.
I'm currently reading
and
both of which are new to me series that I'm loving. I love finding new series despite that I have like 20 I still need to read. :)Listening to
on audio.

I'm reading

I'm loving both of these series and will probably stick with both of them until I'm caught up on them.
I've been binging on this genre lately and have read

Since the last time I've posted I've read
and to complete the entire series so far, I'm currently finishing up with

Mike wrote: ow is Perdition compared to her other books? Same with Holly Black's new one."Perdition was good, set in the same world as her Sirantha Jax series, even has a character from that series that shows up in this one.
The Coldest Girl in Coldtown ended up dnf for me. I find Black to be hit or miss for me, this one was a miss.

Did you like Tithe,Valiant, and Ironsides?
Mike wrote: "Did you like Tithe,Valiant, and Ironsides?"Tithe was dnf for me, but I did like her Curse Workers series.
Holly Black is a dnf for me as well, haven't read anything of hers I like, so I don't bother anymore.

Forgot about the Curse Workers series.
I think I liked that book...
Mike wrote: "Did you like Tithe,Valiant, and Ironsides?"I liked all three Tithe I think was the weakest in the bunch
Wow I have really been MIA from here recently, life kind of got a bit crazy there for awhile but has finally calmed down. I don't know what i was reading the last time I was on but I have recently read
and liked it. I will be reading the next one eventually. Now I am reading
and like it. I have really been reading a lot of YA recently.
Finished
and
loved them both. The Toby Daye books just keep getting better and better. Started listening to
and I'm reading
.
finished listening to
my first ever audio. not to bad. really liked the Narrator.now reading
so far its actually pretty good.

I'm in a huge book slump. I've had like 5 dnf in a row. The last two being

I hate to say this, but I am glad to see someone else not like Bound by Night. I felt like I was the only one.
Hope you get out of your slump soon!

I could probably go on a tangent about how annoyed I am by this book. I can not believe this was a Larissa Ione book. Dreadful world building and character building. If it had been a new author I may have finished it but seriously? How can you build a world like in LOD & build a character like Reseph & then hand me this crud-o-la between Riker and Nicole (who is TSTL, IMO)? In one moment she's all "He's a brutal murderer" & then 2-3 paragraphs later she's crushing on him cuz he's such a great guy. What? When? Why? How did we get there? My biggest diappointment this year. :(
AND apparently I did just go on a tangent. LOL
She better get her mojo back for
[bookcover:Reaver|11512718]or I'm gonna cry like a little girl.

Sandra wrote: "Finished
and loved it. I know some thought the case took over but I loved it nevertheless."I'm still on book 7 but this series can do no wrong IMO.
I'm reading
which I'm really enjoying. Creepy ghost story that's made the hair on the back of my neck stand up a time or two. Perfect for an Oct read.
The Only Way Out by Don De Lene – Book ReviewProblems, problems, problems… Solutions?
Hannah Lane, the seven year old girl we remember from The Power, The Miracle and The Dream, is now 22 years old and a “Pulitzer Prize winning photographer and renowned peace activist” (Ch. 1). She is with a National Geographic team that has just landed on Mars, and has become officially the first woman to set foot on the planet. Hannah has come a very long way since her loosing childhood days as an asthmatic, but how exactly did she get here? Was it really the secret of “the power within … [her] … mind” (Ch. 12) that brought her to these heights?
The Only Way Out: Forgiveness - The Path To Peace & Happiness takes us deeper into the spiritual philosophy set out in De Lene’s earlier book, concentrating on our desire to hurt others, and the solution of reconciliation through absolution. We can never really be at peace unless we are willing to forgive wrong. In this book De Lene digs deeper into a metaphysical view of the world, particularly the idea of God, however, the philosophy presented is not at all ‘orthodox’ religion. De Lene instead derives his inspiration from the non-fiction book A Course In Miracles (Helen Schucman, Foundation for Inner Peace:__ 3rd ed.:__ 2007). De Lene’s book is an unusual blend of novel and teaching manual, and is a very enjoyable and easy way of looking deeper into philosophy.

So I read a bunch of freebies that were stuck on my kindle - none of them were very memorable so I will not bother to list them.Swammped again with work so I am reduced to listening to
I kind of like it but this two angels or whatever on Justin's shoulders is just odd. I am also trying to figure out what Tessa brings to the story??
Also the narrator is pretty good she sounds like someone I have heard before though...I should probably look into that.
read
pretty fantastic book though gosh the ending was so annoying!! I cant believe they ended it there!! I need to know what happens next!!also read
which I actually really enjoyed, for some weird reason I find books like these rather interesting (weird cause I usually dislike historical fiction) the ending was a little anticlimactic though :(now to do an EPIC buddy read with a bestie -
its going to be AMAZING!!!!while im waiting to start I might give
a go :)
