Oh man. I have been looking for a good Robin Hood retelling.

[Courtney]

In truth, I didn't get much of a Robin Hood vibe from the story. So I wouldn't recommend it if you're looking for a Robin Hood retelling. was better, in my opinion, but YA.

Really? I didn't get that impression. If anything, I felt like it was a new chapter in Ty and Zane's relationship.

[Regina]

LOL Angie!!

[Ian]

I just started Rock Chick...honestly I've been a little underwhelmed by KA but I'm doing this as an audiobook and I'm kind of enjoying it. All those strange stream of consciousness moments she does kind of work in an audiobook.

[Marcella]

Welcome to the Rock Chick bandwagon Ian. I love this series.

[Dee]

not in a huge reading funk, but just feeling blah! haha!

[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

Finished - mixed feelings, both good and bad. I can't completely fault a book though which allows me to make a joke about someone's gaping chasm.

I haven't loved the other KA I've read but I certainly had a lot of fun with this series.

There are some really great moments. I mean Kumar's tears of joy when Indy comes into his shop and buys the stuff she needs to make macaroni cheese. The hairy guy talking about his cat sitting business and how he believes cats should have both wet and dry food.

So many laugh out loud moments. I'm loving it.

[Ian]

Ha! I noticed a status update from Stacia describing Grace and the Dauntless as being like a weird episode of Bonanza. I'm thinking that means not as much love for the book as I have.

I'm only at chapter 3, but so far I'm hooked! I'm also just about to start Stay which is a buddy read for another group.

[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

Oh no. I didn't mean that I didn't like the book. I'm liking it so far. I was just hoping that the revenge notion will end up being more like the movie The Quick and the Dead (which I LOVED) than an episode of Bonanza. So far, I think it's got elements of both.

Still haven't had a chance to get very far in yet though. I'll probably read more over the weekend. I might try to finish my read of The 100 first, since I've had it on my currently reading for a while.

hmmm.....I just went through a strange christian moment. Preacher was all, "you have to forgive those who done you wrong". Damn I hope this doesn't end up being Pilgrims Progress. meets Bonanza 'coz I think if it does, I might feel ill.

[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

I doubt it because the plot would stall without the revenge angle. I want her to fall for one of the gang members.

Noooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!! lol...maybe a GLBT think with the woman in the boots.

[Regina]

I started last night and finished this morning . It is a very quick read but I enjoyed it a lot. It doesn't push the envelope in the same ways McKenna's other books do, but it is very hot and really nicely done characters.

[Angie Elle, BaBAMB!!!]

I'm finally starting .

I'm glad you liked it, Regina. It's nice when you find an author that is a consistent 'hit.'

[Angie Elle, BaBAMB!!!]

I'm reading .

[Tellulah]

Wow! I feel like I haven't been this excited about a book in a while. I may need to crack and pay the stupid Kindle price because not sure I can wait until it comes in at my library to read it.

[Regina]

Oh that stinks, where are you on the waiting list?

[Tellulah]

20. :( And I'm not even sure they've gotten their copies yet. I'm doubting I'll last.

[Angie Elle, BaBAMB!!!]

I finally caved and cut my challenge in half. Now instead of being 15 books behind, I'm on book ahead. LOL

Now I feel like an overachiever! ;)

[Regina]

Tellulah you mean the sequel right? Sometimes I am amazed at how fast those library lists progress.

Good for you angie! :)

[Kay]

I've been reading for many days now and I'm only 39% in. It's a looong book. It's going ok but I think I need to take a break and pick something else up.

I might need to cut my challenge too so that I don't feel so stressed out each month to knock out all these books.

I hope everyone had a good weekend.

[Tellulah]

Regina wrote: "Tellulah you mean the sequel right? Sometimes I am amazed at how fast those library lists progress.

Yes the sequel.

[Tellulah]

Big surprise I cracked and bought Loving as much as the first one.

[Angie Elle, BaBAMB!!!]

I'm going to take a romance break and start tonight.

[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

I was in a pwp mood and had fun reading . Continuing the theme with another Hades/Persephone book (but a romance instead of erotica)

[Tellulah]

I was curious about that Persephone one. Let me know how it is.

[Dee]

i liked goddress of spring - it and Goddess of the Rose are probably my 2 favorites in the series

[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

I ended up loving it. Just tagging this only because it's long, not spoilery. (view spoiler)[ Much more than I expected to. I can't believe this is the same woman who wrote HoN. My complaints were very minimal after the first few awkward chapters and all of the ridiculous batman comparisons.

This is one of those books that could appeal to all ages, but I think would be special to women over 30. It really celebrates being a woman and being beautiful even if you're not young and perfect looking.

I loved how the idea of soul mates truly focused on loving what was inside of the person. Often, soul mates are touted as this "instant connection" recycle, but this story touched on loving a person no matter what their shell looked like. The scene at the river was beautiful.

There was a great woman-to-woman friendship, almost sort of a mother/daughter bond.

The scene with Hades at the forge was smoking. I rarely get worked up over "hot guy" descriptions in books because they're usually standard and boring...but wow...

I loved how Hades was not the type of man you'd expect him to be. Can't say more than that or it would be a spoiler, but he wasn't the normal alpha male who is the best at everything without trying.

I got teary eyed at the end. (hide spoiler)]

Which of the two Persephone books was the one you loved, Stacia?

[Tellulah]

Devoured and now kind of wish I hadn't read either in the series because who knows how long I have to wait for the next book. Just loving this so much. Bishop does an amazing job of crafting characters and a world I just want to hang out in.

[Peggyzbooksnmusic]

Finished by Janet Evanovich Gave it 3 stars. Learned more about Ranger but not enough Morelli!

Also read by Charles Finch #1 in the Charles Lenox cozy historical mystery series set in Victorian London. The mystery was only about 3 stars but bumped it up to 4 stars as I really liked the main character and the descriptions of Victorian London.

Which was paranormal romance mixed with magical realism. The first few chapters are super annoying (and the multiple Batman references were silly), but once it got past an awkward start, I fell in love with the story. I thought it was a wonderful take on soul-mates because it was about two people connecting by getting to know each other from the inside out.

I liked the other book too, but the other one was straight-up porn without plot and not a romance book like GoS was. I knew that going in though because that's Selena Kitt's style. I'm actually surprised at how much mythology she managed to fit in for a book about mostly sex.

She is really good at writing characters and developing a story. Have you read her other series? I need to read the last in the trilogy:

So I am 50% in to and it is freaking brutal!! I had to put it down b/c it was so brutal. Realistic, good but harsh.

I also started I googled -- what should I read if I love sons of anarchy and that came up. It was also compared to Troubleshooters in terms of character building. So, I'll let you all know.

[Regina]

I saw on JR Ward's facebook page that some countries released early!!! Yikes, there will be spoilers everywhere. So who is buying it? I go back and forth.

[Leea, Escape Artist]

I'll wait to buy it. But I do want to read it next week. I'm excited to get back to Wrath and Beth :) Maybe this will get me out of my funk...

[Regina]

Leea, I am thinking the same thing.

[Gwennie, Mrs. Bookworm]

I want to read it, but I'm hesitant to buy it. I haven't spent any of my Amazon credit yet, so maybe. We'll see.

Regina, I haven't started Sunrise yet, I'm nervous!

[Tellulah]

Regina wrote: "Tellulah wrote: "Devoured and now kind of wish I hadn't read either in the series because who knows how long I have to wait for the next book. Just loving this ..."

Yes. A friend turned me to that trilogy last year and I thought it was wonderful. So I figured going into Red that I'd be in for a treat.

[Regina]

:) I need to finish it. Did you like the third?

Wendy, Sunrise is good -- but wow. I might not pick it up for a few days.

[Kay]

I can't wait for The King! Hopefully, I will start it next week.

I've been MIA lately b/c I haven't really been reading. I'm still slowly working on The Last Hour of Gaan but just have no motivation to read. Maybe The King will get me out of my funk.

Eeek... I'll have to see. Sometimes I can handle Brutality and sometimes it's too much for me.

[Tellulah]

I did. I don't know why I didn't rate or review it but I def read it. I loved Daemon and Janelle's story - I remember the book being very tense and extremely satisfying.

[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

I have a couple of galleys to get through first, but I'm sure I'll pick up The King next week sometime. If nothing else, BDB is familiar and fun, so the books are easy to get into, even the weaker ones.
