I'm 50% in and I'm pretty mixed on it. There are some things I love and some I sort of hate lol. So sort of all over the place at this point! But the story keeps you guessing which is a good thing. How about you?

I'm only 11% in and to begin, I thought the voice was decent, but I'm starting to get a little weary of (almost) nothing but narration.
Yes! That was one of my major issues with Cassie's POV. Also tons of backstory in between the present. Too much at one time in my opinion. Later it becomes apparent why the author chose to do that, but still... Cassie's POV is my least favorite (there are many other POVs coming soon ;) although a number of people I'm reading with have liked hers the best, so to each their own! We are going a buddy read over in my fan/YA group in case you want to join in: http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/1...

oh no, another one with only narration! UGH! That was The Testing for sure!

That was The Testing for sure!"I know, I was looking for a PB to read alongside this one, and I spotted The Testing sitting there, but kinda went: Um ... not two like this, me thinks. I did try another PB this morning, but you already know how that turned out, Brook. :P
Now I'm trying to decide if I should read KA's The Gathering whilst I read 5th Wave, or if I should check out something like Jodi Meadow's Incarnate, as I have that sitting upstairs and waiting to be read. I could use some more Lirium really. He urges me onward, but without taking up too much of my time.

David wrote: "5th Wave has gotten a lot better with some of the other POVs, so I'm racing to finish it today :)"I kinda gave up. But then I seem to be going through a zero tolerance stage in my reading lately. Once you've lost me, you've lost me. Must be because my head's elsewhere right now.
Okay, I ended up picking up
today and opened the front page. I'm only on page 14, but this is a good start considering my reading moods lately, because so far I want to keep going.I'm also attempting to read
because I'm on the blog tour, but I'm VERY not sure on my opinion of it right now (okay, I am, but I don't want to be hasty before I've decided if it's worth the perseverance it's taking).

I almost couldn't put it down! :D <3 it!
Im almost finished reading

and I think I might finish this
since I have put it off for a while and Im 60 % through it anyway!
This morning I opened up
to check out, but then I spotted
had gone live on Amazon and so got totally sidetracked the second I purchased and opened that one.

AND [bookcover:Kasadya Hellhound Awakened|15844..."Piercing the Fold is awesome. I just don't have a lot of time to read print books so they take me longer to read. Kasadya: Hellhound Awakened was amazing! and The Crimson Clan from what I understand is back in editing cause the editor did a really bad job.. I do have reviews up for the two I finished though..The Crimson Clan - http://cusreviews.blogspot.com/2013/0...
Kasadya - http://cusreviews.blogspot.com/2013/0...
I hoped that helped >^.^<
Finished
, did not enjoy it. Really disappointing (well for me anyway). Started reading
, hope this one won't be such a bore.

The cover is gorgeous! :D I really hope it's good. If it's well-executed, this could be a great book, so fingers crossed!
Just started
by the awesome Addison Moore. It's the conclusion to an 8 part series that I am psyched to see how it ends but bummed at the same time that it'll be over..
