That's too bad. Do you think you will finish it?

[Regina]

Well I am liking it. But It isn't a typical hart book at all.

Let me know when you are going to read Hears of Obsidian. I would love someone to read it with. I am a huge fan of this series and I didn't think anyone else liked this series.

[Regina]

IF that makes sense ....... :)

[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

Finished and was torn on what to think. It was pretty entertaining but one thing about the resolution bothered me for being extremely unrealistic, which made me dock massive rating points, even though I blazed through the book because it had a lot going on.

Re-reading and am in a happy, giddy place. I knew that I loved the book the first time but reading it again is so much fun. I can't believe not many people have read this because it's one of my favorites and I think it deserves more attention. It's right up there for me with Angelfall.

[Searock]

Awesome, Ace. That's a rare, wonderful thing to experience in a book. Yay!

[Kay]

Regina...makes perfect sense. I will wait to hear your thoughts when you're done.

Marcella, when are you free to read it? I'm thinking next week sometime.

I just saw that S.E. Hinton will have a Q&A on goodreads. I loved The Outsiders so it'll be interesting to hear what she's been up to. http://www.goodreads.com/group/show/1...

Stacia, I might go see Veronica Rossi this evening. My husband said he'll watch the kids. So, if nothing crazy comes up, I will be there.

For me, it's super rare. I feel like there's hardly anything unique these days, so I tend to latch on to something hard when it ticks all of my boxes. And it doesn't hurt that Rafa is yummy.

That sounds like fun Kay. Are you going to get pics?

[Kay]

I'm going to try to take pics. I don't want to look like a crazy fan girl. LOL I just love Aria & Perry. She's signing with other authors too so I don't know if there will be a Q&A or not. http://www.booksinc.net/event/ransom-...

[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

Aria and Perry are so cute together. And I think Roar is great too.

I see the author from Shatter Me will be there as well. I have debated about reading the series. It seems to be a huge hit or miss for people, with no real middle ground.

[Kay]

Yes, I'm also curious about Shatter Me. The majority of my GR friends rated it 4-5 Stars but 3 popular GR users I follow rated it 1-2 Stars.

Oh...did you all see that Angelfall book 2 is available for preorder? http://www.susanee.com/blog/2013/06/p... Also, it will be released Nov 19! Woo!

I am free mid next week Kay. Let me know when you want to start.

[Kay]

Marcella, I'll touch base with you early next week to pick a day :)

Sounds like a plan. Can you message me instead of posting? I sometimes don't get notifications for the thread so I do not want to miss it. Thanks!

[Crystal]

I have hit a reading rock wall ladies :(

[Lisa]

Having finished and I found an accidental common sub-plot, but I won't give anything away here. It's just kinda weird in a fun way. I loved both books, BTW, especially the Bernadette audiobook. Now I'm starting the audio version and really liking it. The Iron Druid Chronicles author Kevin Hearne raved about this series and I like some zombie books (the ones I've read so far, anyway). Plus, the cover is eye-catching.

In what way?

[Tellulah]

Finished I'm a sucker for stories set in the 20s but this was almost a bit too much. The lingo got a little wearisome at times. I enjoyed it but I'm not sure I'm going to read the next book. I think I'd have to see which characters feature more prominently.

[Crystal]

Marcella wrote: "Crystal wrote: "I have hit a reading rock wall ladies :("

I just can't see to get into anything. I start a book and get about 10% in and then I start finding excuses not to read it. I am 2 books behind on my reading goal for the year. Nothing is interesting me right now for some reason.

I guess I just need something different!

[Dee]

Completely switch genres - do something off the wall that you never reaf

[Dee]

Whoops read

Can't wait to see what you think of white trash zombies? It's been on my TBR list for a long time.

[Leea, Escape Artist]

Crystal, like the ladies said, change genres and maybe try something you haven't before. Good luck :)

[Ian]

I just started Where'd You go Bernadette. I don't usually like it when authors use a lot of letters and e-mails in a novel, but in this one it's done so cleverly that it's working for me. The writing reminds me a little of Melina Marchetta (Saving Francesca and On the Jellicoe Road)...not sure why.

@Lisa...I love the White Trash Zombie books. Can't wait for the 3rd in the series to arrive.

[Ian]

Looking at your favorites...you might enjoy;

Saving Francesca (by Melina Marchetta)
Eleanor & Park (by Rainbow Rowell)
Daughter of Smoke & Bone (by Laini Taylor)

Well since you are in this rut I recommend trying out the m/m genre. It is something completely different than what you normally read. Maybe this is what you need to get back in the groove.

[D.G.]

Switching genres always works for me when I'm stuck.

[Regina]

Three things work for me. Different genre, back to old comfort read (genre or favorite book) or take a break from reading altogether. I hope you find something that works.

[Regina]

I need to read saving Francesca. I have been saying that for years.

[Gwennie, Mrs. Bookworm]

LOL, you have been saying that for years. ;)

My go-to for a reading rut is rereading an old favorite.

I hear ya! I've been feeling the same way. I think I've been devouring too many series books lately.

Could just be summer - heat, sun, all that. Makes me long for vacation.

[Leea, Escape Artist]

Still reading Under the Dome... 45% now and I love it. So much happens in this book and it still has that small town feel.

[Kay]

I had a great time last night meeting Veronica Rossi and Jandy Nelson.

Here are some pics I posted on my page:

I'm still working my way through . Perry & Dex are just a hot mess. I hope they can work it out eventually.

[Regina]

Great pictures! I need to read that book, I just keep forgetting!

I know I said months ago that Maroon Five's One More Night described the couple in but I think it really fits Dex and Perry.

[Kay]

Thanks, Regina.

I can see that with One More Night and Dex & Perry!

I still need to read Feral Sins.

[Marcella]

Feral Sins was a great book. I was disappointed with book 2 in the series. Not as entertaining.

Thanks for sharing. I get to live vicariously through you. :)

Feral Sins was fun. Not a lot of plot outside of the sex, but the banter is great. I liked book 2 fine, even though it was for different reasons.

Starting with Anna and Searock.

Wow - that just made Dex and Perry even hotter for me. Does that make me totally twisted? (really hoping I'm not alone here...)

I LOVED it!!! It's a different kind of zombie book. A possible new genre - Southern Zombie Mystery Romance. The audio is excellent with many LOL moments. I quickly snatched up book 2 of the series.

@Ian - I'll be joining you soon on waiting for book 3, after I zoom thru book 2, which I'm just starting.



Can't wait to hear how you like Where'd You Go, Bernadette!

[Kay]

Has anyone heard of http://booklikes.com/ ? It's suppose to be like goodreads meets tumbler. I'm just curious about it and wonder if anyone knows anything about it.

[Ian]

@ Lisa...Bernadette is completely insane...lol I think I'm in love.

[Lisa]

@Ian - I know! Bernadette's rant on Seattle cracked me up SO badly!! I want to get a fishing vest ;)

@Kay - No, I've never heard of that site before seeing your link.

[Leea, Escape Artist]

Kay, never heard of it but it's got a better look than GR... Looks nice. I just can't change from GR.

[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

I'd heard of it, Kay. I'm so invested in GR now that the thought of using a second site seems pointless.

It does look nicer graphically though.

Did a quick read of which was the follow up to the Dark Duet (captive in the dark). I felt it sort of unnecessary because I don't like seeing the domestic side of couples after they get together, but there were some smoking hot sex scenes, I will admit.

[Leea, Escape Artist]

I think that's why I haven't picked up Epilogue because I liked how it all ended in Seduced in the Dark.

[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

It's definitely only worth the read for someone who is obsessed or can't get enough. Otherwise, I think skipping it is best. I found myself skimming the non-sex scenes.

[Kay]

Yeah, I'm way invested in GR too. However, I ended up signing up and I'm waiting for my goodreads books to import...so I'll see how it goes.

I haven't read book 2 of Captive in the Dark yet. I still need to get to that one day.

[Regina]

I have tried Amazon's discussion boards, Shelfari (which is also amazon), and librarything -- and I just don't like any of them like GR. But I will still sign up. ;)

Okay you had me at hot sex scene, would I like this series?
