message 1501: by Sandra, Need more time to Read!! (new)

Sandra | 4734 comments You must of enjoyed them Sara, to read so many in a row :)


message 1502: by Sara (new)

Sara | 860 comments I did. I read the first book in the series a long time ago - it was okay. This summer I purchased the latest in the series - it was excellent and I decided to purchase the rest. I have two more volumes to go and I will have read the entire series to date.


message 1503: by Sandra, Need more time to Read!! (new)

Sandra | 4734 comments It's very satisfying when a series is up-to-date. Feels just like decluttering or a clean and tidy house. LOL.


message 1504: by Christina (new)

Christina | 35 comments I followed the free serial on the website, but bought and reread Clean Sweep (Innkeeper Chronicles #1) by Ilona Andrews . Love, love, love!

I was kind of the same, I read the first one and thought it was ok, then I read the second one and it was great. I fell like they just keep getting better as they go.

Sandra | 4734 comments Christina, I purposely didn't read Clean Sweep (Innkeeper Chronicles #1) by Ilona Andrews on the website, once she said they were going to publish it. I like reading the whole thing in one hit.

I read it last week and loved it. I want #2 now; I wonder if they are going to write it or get the readers input like they did for #1.

Was there a big difference between the two?

I went the route that Sandra did, waiting to read it until it was all together.

Interesting the first one was a DNF so maybe I should try again

Sometimes I wish I had more self control… lol If it is there, I'm reading it.

No, it was the same story-wise, but the pictures and epilogue were added for the book. I do hope they do the next one as a serial as well.


message 1511: by Christina (new)

Christina | 35 comments Just started Mind Games (The Disillusionists Trilogy, #1) by Carolyn Crane . I don't know what I think yet, it has a very unique premise and heroine.

I liked that story quite a bit something about the writing felt unique.

Ok that is hilarious because I just brought it like New Years Day I think and as I am buying the book I am thinking my TBR pile of books I own is already ridiculous.


message 1514: by Sandra, Need more time to Read!! (new)

Sandra | 4734 comments As I type my tbr is sitting at 2842, so that is totally ridiculous as well, cause I own most of them. And I still keep buying stuff :)


message 1515: by Christina (new)

Christina | 35 comments For favorite authors (e.g., Ilona Andrews and Patricia Briggs), their books will always leap frog over other TBR. I always hate that new books come out on Tuesdays. I try to wait until the weekend to avoid pulling an all nighter on a work night :P

Sadly Sandra I think I maybe in the same boat...maybe that will be my goal for the month to get all the books I own on my GR TBR account!!


message 1517: by Sandra, Need more time to Read!! (new)

Sandra | 4734 comments I really rely on GR to know what I own, so its pretty automatic that I buy it then log it here. Of course, I occasionally come across books that didn't make it on here, especially if it was bought before 2009 when I joined.


message 1518: by Darcy (new)

Darcy (sunnytat462) | 3123 comments Next up for me are Fortune's Pawn (Paradox, #1) by Rachel Bach The Accidental Werewolf 2 Something About Harry (Accidentally Friends, #8) by Dakota Cassidy Shadowdance (Darkest London, #4) by Kristen Callihan


message 1519: by Mike (new)

Mike | 353 comments Finished Magic Slays (Kate Daniels, #5) by Ilona Andrews and Discount Armageddon (InCryptid, #1) by Seanan McGuire both were good but I really loved Armageddon. I am beginning to think that Seanan McGuire can do no wrong.


message 1520: by Sandra, Need more time to Read!! (new)

Sandra | 4734 comments Yay!! I loved it too Mike :)


message 1521: by Sandra, Need more time to Read!! (new)

Sandra | 4734 comments After taking 2 days searching all my bookshelves I found the book I was looking for Nice Girls Don't Live Forever (Jane Jameson, #3) by Molly Harper

Which I thought I'd already read, but GR tells me I hadn't despite buying it nearly 4 yrs ago. LOL.

She is an awesome writer!
I like the InCryptid series a lot. In the third book she is switch narrators which normally would turn me off but I am so curious about the other family members I find myself a bit excited.

message 1539: by Mike (new)

Mike | 353 comments It's started off with a bang, I just wish she would do more in the series. Also I've been reading a lot of stuff I've been putting off. It has been nice.

Sandra | 4734 comments That's great Mike, I like em starting with some action ;)

Sandra | 4734 comments Reading Dragon Awakened (The Hidden, #1) by Jaime Rush and really like it so far.


message 1545: by ♥ Ashleigh ♥ (new)

♥ Ashleigh ♥  Contrary to popular belief I'm not actually mad! (cheshire_red) finally finished Spirit Gate (Crossroads, #1) by Kate Elliott , only took me like 3 weeks. have to say im not the biggest fan but i read the whole thing anyways - mainly cause i bought it and i heard kate elliot was meant to be a pretty awesome writer.... im not willing to give up on her yet, but i think i'll try some of her other work instead next time.

now reading Stormdancer (The Lotus War, #1) by Jay Kristoff which i have been looking forward to forever! and so far not too bad. i just need to get use to the Japanese words that are randomly chucked in throughout the book, alright so there not actually random, im just not use to them as of yet. i have to keep googling what they mean. lol.

How did you like Unshapely Things?

I really enjoyed Carniepunk.


message 1549: by Karena (new)

Karena (karenafagan) I need to read Carniepunk. I'm rereading Chloe Neill's Chicagoland Vampires series, even though I barely just read them last year. I'm doing a lot of "serious" literature this year and CV is a nice touchstone to go back to, to unwind from some of the heavy plots and depressing tones of some of the novels.

Sara | 860 comments Dawn wrote: "How did you like Unshapely Things?"

I enjoyed it. I have a fondness for druids. Nice world building and cast of characters - especially Meryl and Stinkwort. The fey-elf rivalry was interesting.
