OMG! Clockwork Princess was PHENOMENAL!
What do you think of it so far?


I recommend Paradise Squandered to anyone who appreciates a well written and honest coming-of-age story. Like I wrote in my review: This book honestly captures what it's like to be an angry 18 year old searching for what is real and important in life through trial and error.

On another note, I'm not too crazy about the book Season of Passage. I'm almost half way through, and I'm going to finish it, but it's not my cup of tea. I just started reading Dune also. I'm looking for a good epic Sci Fi read. Anyone have a suggestion for me?

I love it! Though I had to go back to Clockwork Prince & reread the last few chapters to refresh my memory - so far Im not disappointed!





Not sure where to go next. Waiting for a friend to start reading

You. Won't. Be!

Clockwork Princess is a master piece.

Catcher and the Rye is on my list. Planning to read soon.



I really like J. R. Ward and her Black Dagger Brotherhood. Will be interested in your comments after you complete the first in her series. I think her plots are interesting and continue to be so into other books in the series. Unlike so many, she keeps things exciting and there is an ongoing suspense. She also adds characters instead of sticking to the exact same ones book after book, while still maintaining the theme of the series.
She wrote a book that helps readers understand the whole Black Dagger Brotherhood that helps with the story line, and who the characters are. "The Black Dagger Brotherhood - And Insider's Guide" in 2008. It might be a bit long for the subject, and I had already read quite a few books in the series by then, but it was interesting.
I also like her new series "Fallen Angels."


I am in a similar situation. All my library holds came in at the same time. I have Gone Girl, The Storyteller, Family Pictures, The House Girl, AND Me Before You! I have no idea if I can finish them all before giving them back. I think I'll have to skip a couple. I also have a buddy read of Bitterblue coming up in a few days and I'm really looking forward to it.
So, anyone have any recommendations for those library books? Which would you not miss out on? Which would you pass on?

I read only Gone Girl on that list, and LOVED it...good luck picking one out!

Hyde looks really good, but I haven't heard anything about it. Let us know what you think when you finish it!

Thanks! That may be my next one.



We're looking for the title of a vampire book?
It centered on vampires on an island as the setting (though, I don't think they were the main characters).
This book was divided into three (or maybe two) stories. The first story involved a kid who starts to believe that this other kid is a vampire. At the end of the story, the kid sneaks into the other kid's room and stakes him to kill the "vampire" - but it turns out the kid wasn't a vampire after all.
The last (or maybe second story...) involved some guy who was trying to hunt vampires, and he does so with the help of some other people, but at the end of the story (the characters are in a diner) the guy reveals that he himself is a vampire, and attacks the (girl?) who was helping him.
The cover of the book featured a girl's lips (red lipstick), possibly opened and showing fangs?
That's all I remember.
If you can help me remember the name of the book, I'll love you forever! Thanks!

just finished a book called after dark i really enjoyed it

Next up is Hyde, an Urban Fantasy. Please cross your fingers I can finish up with The Last Detective. It's my P&P challenge pick for the month.



I'm reading Delirium and am going to start reading Along Came a Spider soon. So far I like Delirium a lot.


I had never read the original. But when I started reading this, I thought it was great. The way Lauren Stewart wrote the 1st book and introduced the characters and the storyline was good as well.


Recommend: The Harry Dresden Files by Jim Butcher, anything by Neil Gaiman, The Belgarid and Mallorean by David Eddings.


My small review: http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/..., if you're curious.
I might be changing it after I read

So as you can guess, I am currently reading Jekyll, and blowing off The Last Detective.
?: Would anyone on here who read Hyde be of the needed opinion that it is similar to P&P so I cannot feel so guilty?
