I had a busy weekend but I finished and liked it. I'm still working on and I also started the audio for .

[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

Read (cute, but closer to a childrens' book than MG) (didn't hold the same charm as the other Kleypas historicals I've read but it was ok), and am going to try and finish Gone Girl today finally, which is getting to a very interesting point. I like that my theories keep changing.

Also starting and I think this male lead actually has a harem, unlike the last book where it was just hinted at.

[Anna (Bobs Her Hair)]

I'm at the 75% mark. Will this book twist me up like the movie Mystic River. I have a bad feeling. *bites nails*

The next read will be a palate cleansing historical romance - . It looks cute.

[Dee]

Anna - I have that Kate Noble book as well - buddy read?

[Courtney]

Finished which was very good. I've read two pretty deep eroticas in a row, which is surprising to me. I'm glad that I got my hands on these.

Going to finish up .

Sounds like a plan, Dee. :) I should finish Gone Girl tonight. When would you like to start?

Kay, i'm the worst buddy reading friend ever!!! I'm still on chap 3, hope to read some tonight. I got stuck helping at the kids school and then had to do some PTA stuff, so I was basically there all day.

[Kay]

No worries, Leea. I know how crazy life can get.

I finished listening to & it was meh. I should take a break from New Adult...it's been such a miss for me lately.

[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

Finished . The end was...interesting.

[Regina]

The movie is changing the ending.

[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

One of my friends just said this not even a minute ago on my review. I don't think I like that! I actually thought it was kind of brilliant how (view spoiler)[Nick was going to be forced to live out his own personal hell on earth. (hide spoiler)]

[Leea, Escape Artist]

Samantha and I are planning on reading so we wanted to open it up to the group. We're hoping that you will join us.

Here is the link to our buddy read: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

I just read that too! Some readers disliked the ending. I'm trying to wrap my head around it - the ending, I mean. (view spoiler)[It was sort of anticlimactic. Although, it fit. (hide spoiler)]

A new ending adds an element of surprise, I suppose. Have you ever seen the movie "No Country for Old Men" with Tommy Lee Jones and Javier Bardem. The ending! Not what people expected. I think audiences would share a similar reaction to the original GG ending.

[Ian]

I'm going insane!

I generally have one audiobook (which I listen to in the car), and a few written word books (one Japanese and a couple in English) going at once.

Write now I can't find an audiobook to listen to that meets my specific requirements.

a. not too dark or depressing
b. no triangles and not too angsty
c. not too long.

I'll do any genre so long as there are romantic themes...but it needs to be audio and not all audiobooks that are available in the U.S. are available here...so, if anyone has a suggestion I'm up for it.

[Regina]

Yeah I thought the ending sucked. He wasn't being forced. He made the decision. He had ther choices still.

[Dee]

I liked the ending of GG, because I think that they (view spoiler)[honestly deserved each other, I also think with her history, if Nick had divorced her or something, then she would haev done the same thing to the next poor schlep - I mean she had the history already) - at least this way, she couldn't re-use her old antics because he knew most of them (hide spoiler)]

you let me know when - I have it on my kindle (although, I always have multiple books going at once)

[Regina]

Good points dee.

[Dee]

i kind of like that it wasn't essentially tied up in a pretty bow

[Regina]

I like books that do that too, I just think Gone Girl was a great story and the ending seemed like a forced conflict. The entire book felt like Flynn was trying to push boundaries rather than write a good story. Just my opinion of course.

Now you all have to read Dark Places.

[Dee]

I have dark places and sharp objects on reserve at the library but I am like 50th and 25th in the line for both of them...lol

[Regina]

Wow, that is some list!

[Dee]

well, they were for the audiobooks, but yeah - they have been super long for as long as I can remember

The Ending - it was fitting for one, harsh for another, and disturbing in the long-term.

[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

I ended up skimming the second half of . It was a pretty basic romance, but I wanted much more back story and info about the culture itself. The last Sheikh romance I read at least put a little more thought into developing the history around the main character, which this book didn't do.

I had a book planned for today, but I don't remember what it was. I'll have to go look through my notes. O.o

Will probably start tomorrow.

[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

I didn't figure out what I was supposed to be reading, so I started . Love that cover.

[Leea, Escape Artist]

That's the best cover!!

Still can't find time/or desire to read... I may have to just pick something new up. ha!

Damn...I just picked it up as well. I wish I knew it was Adobe Digital Editions. I hate reading on my computer.

[Kay]

I finished reading and I liked it but I feel conflicted about the ending. This doesn't suprise me b/c other books I've read by this author has left me with the same feeling.

I am also listening to the audio of ...it's short but fun. I will be done with it today.

I had such a bitch trying to get this book into a format where I could read it, since I couldn't send the thing to my kindle. I used to be able to convert the book on calibre, but the program won't do it anymore. I downloaded it directly from Netgalley onto my tablet reader and the thing wouldn't open in Adobe Digital Editions (which it is supposed to - that's the preferred way of reading protected books). So I had to go online and do a search for how to read the book, and ended up having to download the bluefire reader onto my Nook and then open the book with that reader. It took me over an hour to figure this out.

You might be able to get the reader for your iphone if you'd prefer to read it on there instead of your computer.

[Dee]

does it have the new ADE on it? that is apparently causing a lot of issues for ppl

[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

On my reader? Probably. I know my laptop does and I hate the newer ADE. The old version on my computer worked so much better.

But a light bulb just went off over my head. I think I forgot to drag my book from ADE into my Nook tab, which is why I couldn't get it from my computer onto my reader into a form which would open. That was the only way you could do it before.

Hmmm...I might be able to fix the book for Ian, now that I'm thinking of it. Will check something this afternoon. *edit* nm, I can't. I don't have the wifi on that computer, so it would take about 10 steps and transferring between multiple readers to "possibly" get him a workable mobi format, and I can't even be sure that it would work.

[Ian]

I don't know why there isn't a version of Digital Editions for iPad. I mean who reads books sitting at a desk? I think Digital Editions is OK with Kobo isn't it? I might just buy a Kobo so I can read it. lol...expensive ARC.

[Leea, Escape Artist]

I loath ADE with a passion... I hope you can figure it out.

Didn't read a word again today... Ugh!

The above posts have reminded me why I only read e-books on Kindle: is so easy! lol!

Leea, hope you get some reading time soon!

Just read by Sue Monk Kidd Can't even put into words how much I loved this book!

Also read by Vicki Delany but doubt if I'll continue this series. I didn't connect with the characters.

Just have to say, if you have an iPad, download Bluefire Reader. It's really quite easy to move those pesky ADE files across to the iPad.

Took me 5 minutes to get the book onto my iPad and now I can read it and drink copious amounts of coffee as is my want to do.

[Marcella]

Hello all! I am reading and loving every minute of it. I have been waiting for this book for a long time.

[Tellulah]

Just started in on book one of Not what I expected and really enjoying it so far.

Also, if you want to get around sideloading the book, just open Netgalley into a browser on your ipad and download right to the ipad.

I downloaded the ARC from Edelweiss. :)

[Marcella]

Ah I see. I have no idea what that is. I think it is cool that it is available so early before the actual release date.

Like Netgalley, it's a website where publishers make books/galleys available for advanced review. Edelweiss is open to reviewers, bloggers, librarians, and other qualified personnel. http://abovethetreeline.com/edelweiss/

[Marcella]

I am none of those. Too bad.
