What are you reading? (part drei)
Finished
, the ending was like wow, what will happen next?Next I'll be reading
and
, still deciding which one - got both on audio *crossing fingers to a good narrator*
Let me know how the audio of
turns out Sonia. I was thinking about listening to that as well.
He has a deep voice. Good for a zombie. Is not that bad, but I'm getting sleepy...

OK, so he isn't James Masters, maybe my standards for audio are too high. Both Dresden and Daughter of Smoke and Bone's are 5 stars narrators. I tend to be, you now, spoiled :o)
I had worse, but I also had better.
Finished
Not sure what I'll start next. I loved the curse in The Chieftan.

I did and really liked it but it took several chapters before I got hooked in.
This is a little late in the day but don't forget our buddy read of
starts today, Feb 10. Even if you haven't signed up you can still joim us.
Busy week. I re-read
this week. All for one of our clubs series challenges. All three I loved as much as I did the first time I read them. I re-read
for a buddy read. Enjoyed it. Also read two new books
which I liked and 
which was the WORST BOOK EVER!!! Their "relationship" begins when she's 5 years old & he's 23. If that's not creepy enough for you there is also adultry, rape, & domestic violence. ALL the women in the book are called "whore, slut, bitch" rather than by their names. (& that's often in front of their children)
Alisa, why did you keep reading? Sounds dreadful!
I skimmed the last half. It has TONS of 5 star reviews & I kept thinking "ok something bigs gonna happen & change. There has to be a reason people love this book". It was also short. In hindsight I should've tossed it. It left a smudge on my brain.

Love abs that one has
I am actively reading
I must admit it is rather boring, but I am pressing on to finish.
I enjoyed Touch, but I've seen lots of reviews from people who were bored. I just found the demon world fascinating. And I wasn't surprised by what happens. LOL.
I don't now how I did it, but I have 6, YES SIX, books open... and will probably add one more on the 15th due to a buddy read. I am not a speed reader and I like to read a book at the time, two tops!Anyway, the books I'm currently reading (or at least trying to read) are
and
currently buddy reads, just a few chapters in, but liking them so far.
this poor baby is on hold for so long that is a shame, must take care of it soon
- at chapter 3 and making a HUGE tantrum, I refuse to continue with it till the author re-write the event on the beginning - I'm still crying over it and enter on sulking mode every time I think about it.
- at page 25 and on hold
- currently torn between giving up or finish it just for morbid curiosity - seriously? Zombies are not my thing, a zombie with introspects and deep thoughts is something that I can't wrap my mind around it and the concept of a zombie start having feelings and whatnot is as ridiculous as fangless sparkling vampire.On the 15 I'll be adding
to the group. I'm quite excited to finally read this one, it is on my TBR for AGES!!!

I just finished a re-read of it last week & liked it more than the first time.

I really enjoyed that one more than I thought I would...very lovely surprise plus the whole grave yard thing was interesting.

I was a little surprised at just how bad.
Dawn, it was shocking but not surprising to me. Someone had to be the bad guy!
Started reading

I immediately read the next to books (which is very rare for me) and they just got better and better. Can't wait for the next one to come out.

Did you know they're making a TV series out of it?

I'm still having a hard time with the whole 14 year old and sexual tension thing, so I don't know how I feel about this one.

I loooove the Dark Days series!!!!

Btw, finished
and would start
immediatly but
saved me. Ghost had no chance against Vampire Warriors, although Devlin was pretty hot :o)
You may be sucked into the BDB series. They are addictive.
Gin wrote: "I'm still having a hard time with the whole 14 year old and sexual tension thing, so I don't know how I feel about this one."I had a hard time with that too. My daughter is a year older and two older men, one much older, lusting after her is kind of creepy. I hope Moning ages her in the next book.
Lisarenee wrote: "You may be sucked into the BDB series. They are addictive."Yeah, I notice that when I went to bed after chapter 3 and brain refused to let go of the book, making me dreaming about it all night. And with my bad mood because I can't read it while I'm at work.
I have all 10, plus the short-stories ready to go, just in case.

O_O
I'm having second thoughts about reading the book...

The first book doesn't cross any lines but you know there's a possibility. The guys are all like "when she comes of age she's going to be something." It makes me apprehensive, however, about the upcoming books. I wouldn't label it as YA. Maybe New Adult?
She's too young to New Adult. As I said, I'm only 3 chapters in Shadowfever, so I have no idea the transition between the 2, but KM could made her arount 16 or so... still pretty young but just not that shocking.

I may be wrong in that assumption.
It makes sense. Having Percy Jackson, Pretty Little Liars, Beautiful Disaster, Harry Potter, Mortal Instruments and so on in the same boat doesn't make much sense to me.
And I was assuming that Iced was an adult book, not YA.
I haven't read any of KM's book yet so I don't know the plot you guys are talking about but I have to say that I don't think men talking about a 14 year old, even if it's "when she comes of age" is ok. It's creepy, creepy, creepy to me.

I mostly can get past it. I think the main thing that gets to me is (view spoiler)

True. (view spoiler)
I just finished
which was very cute. It was the perfect light read for a Friday evening. Besides I love shifters-especially the cats.
