Nope, not gonna happen. I DNF'd at 9%. BLECH!"Story Brooke :( yeah I took a look at it and it seems to be getting less than favorable revie..."
I didn't even see any reviews for it. The writing is, well, not good. And I got to chapter 4 and it was all telling, no showing. Character jumping from one scene to the next but no reason for the scene. Like "And we went to class and the teacher taught. Then class was over and I went to my locker. Then I went home and ate dinner. Finally I went to sleep." No joke it's written like that! WTH?

Wow really? Geez. Are you going to rate it? It's only got one rating and no reviews.

"I hope it's a good experience for you David. i love audiobooks.
Mod

Oh goodness that's really bad. I thought I saw reviews for this one but there's only a 3 star rating here on GR and Amazon has 2 reviews posted and they're both 5 stars! On B&N there are 5 ratings and they're all over the place from 1 star to 5 star no reviews. Not good. Ugh.

The shadow brothers are so interesting. Can't wait to get their whole story and find out more about the awful princess.

"Oh I'm so happy you loved the ending of the trilogy too David. The Bitter Kingdom was the perfect wrap-up for the story.
I love audio books! Hope you end up enjoying them.
And congratulations on your exciting news for your new book Slip! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that all goes well. You deserve it David :)

nope, I'm not even rating it. If I can't get past 9% it's not worth it and wouldn't get more than a 1 from me. It was for a blog tour. So I've emailed the tour host to see if I can switch my stop. It looked like a good book, but, well, not for me.

it's a bit slow going and I'm getting bored I'm only in ..."I read this one a long time ago. I found it to be pretty good, not amazing, but good. I don't think you need to read the Mercy Thompson books first because I didn't. I read the first in the Mercy Thompson series a few years after this and only then realized some of the characters were interconnected.
Mod
and I'm a little confused about emotions right now.

If Jane can be a phantom and Mary can be cured and Payne could be fixed, then why couldn't Wellsie be saved??!! Argh! This was so WRONG! Poor Tohr! Not fair I tell you. It's fiction, she could've made it happen somehow. As you can see, I'm not quite over this yet. Maybe after 5 more books I'll be able to move past it and make peace with it.
Tracy wrote: "I finished and I'm a little confused about emotions right now."I've had this on in my kindle for a long time now Tracy but have been hesitant to read it because I've heard it's pretty dark/traumatic so I need to work up the courage to read it. And I guess this month my biggest courage expense is going to be allotted towards reading Forbidden. Another one I've been wanting to read but scared to dive into for a long time. So Tied Man will have to wait a little longer. How hard was it to get through emotionally? Easier or harder than Forbidden?

I guess I must be emotionally stunted. I thought I was a super emotional person. Maybe just not in this regard, because I had no trouble reading
. I got through it in 2 days. I found it fascinating.

Forbidden is more of a sweet kind of tragedy if that makes since. The Tied Man is dark but it's not so much the acts themselves but the mental that takes you. Tabitha wrote this in a way that I just sunk into the characters and most of the time felt like I was there and could talk to them. It was just very emotional for me.

I don't think that makes you a non emotional person Rebecca I think it just depends where you are in your life at the moment you read it. With any book the emotional state of the reader has a lot to do with how you feel. I know that someone can't endure what Finn did, not in real life, and be still sane but Tabitha just took me into the story and made me feel like it could.
So see Rebecca, nothing wrong with you at all! :)

Thanks Tracy, yes this makes perfect sense. I might move this one up to read it soon :)

Oh this is so very true Tracy. Books affect you more or less depending on how you're feeling when you read them.
Tracy wrote: "Rebecca ♥ Aaron Warner, Magnus Damora ♥ wrote: "Belkis wrote: "Tracy wrote: "I finished and I'm a little confused about emotions right now."I've had this on in m..."
I dont know. Maybe its the context. I dont seem to be bothered by sexual violence. Ppl think I am crazy for not being bothered by Clockwork Orange either. Loved that movie. Watched it alone as a teen. Didn't faze me.
Yet if I read a sad book (non-HEA) it will tear me apart. I avoid them like the plague!

I think I'll brave this one sooner Rebecca thanks.

I heard it was Belkis. Can't wait to start it.
Ughhhh finished
what a boring book. I rated it 3 but I really want to rate it 2 so I'm sitting at 3 right now to see if I digest it I'll feel better. But it was boring, a snooze fest, the romance, what romance was there? It just didn't jive. Not gunna follow the series. Also multi POVs is a major hang up of mine, however she did execute it well with only having a total of 4 POVs so it wasn't difficult to follow that way.

Ohhh. Loved Wallbanger! Hilarious.
Finished
and OMG it's sooooo GOOD!!! Loved it. It was a beautiful story with little bit of mystery and lots of romance. You all gonna love this. Well, hope so. :)

I read it too, but I thought it was sort of ridiculous but then again I'd probably be listening in too like she was lol. But overall I think I rated it 3 stars
Ekaterine wrote: "Finished and OMG it's sooooo GOOD!!! Loved it. It was a beautiful story with little bit of mystery and lots of romance. You all gonna love this. Well, hope so. :)"Ooooo, yay! Sounds like it's up my alley so will be reading it soon for sure.
So after much staring at my next up list and feeling a little on the melancholy side today, plus still having Archer's Voice on the brain I guess :) I decided to so my yearly reread of
which I've been wanting to do since February. So I will be falling in love again with one of me top most loved contemporary stories for the day. Can't bring myself to start anything new today...

"Just read this series in the past month and loved them all.
I am currently reading Willow by Julia Hoban. I have 88 more pages to go.Next, I'll be reading We Were Liars by E. Lockhart, Half Bad by Sally Green, Rebel Belle by Rachel Hawkins, and The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey.
Go ahead and add me as a friend and see what I'm up to.
Hey reading people!I just finished a good book with a kick-ass protagonist
Started reading
(it's as hilarious as the previous ones of its series)

Danielle wrote: Ha told ya you'd like Charley I still have to read #6 I might wait until #7 comes out to read it. Yeah, Charley Davidson books are super-awesome. I love everything in them. Thanks for the recommendation. The last (7th) one will be published later this year, in just a couple of month, not long to wait. So, you can just go ahead and read the sixth book.
I had other books lined up to read, but then i saw that
was on sale for 1.99, so I couldn't help myself. I LOVED it!! I know that her books are predictable, but I just don't care. She is a guilty pleasure of mine. But now that I've read it, now I can move on to the others waiting on my iPad.

I just finished
It was an absolute perfect finish to the series. I love love love a good HEA and this one delivered in a big way. It's going to be hard for me to find a book to top this one. Maybe I'll have to choose a different genre so I don't disappoint myself.

I love this series! Some of them are a little intense but nothing too crazy
Finished

over the weekend. Nash was okay, not quite as good as Rome. I LOVED Rome . . . he may be my favorite Archer boy right now (Don't hate me, I still love Rule!)

Yeah sometimes additional POVs are good. They can bring clarity and interest in the best cases, like alternating between 2 MCs. And even 3 if necessary to the story. But some just get so out of hand with 5+ POVs and so many subplots that it makes the story confusing at times. I'm not going to lie, sometimes that just aggravates me too. Like the last BDB book The King?! It was great, I really liked it a lot. But I could've done without a few of the side stories and less POVs. Truly.
