I'm not afraid to admit I get completely invested to the point of obsession for my favorites, which means my emotions go with the story. That's what makes a truly incredible read, IMO.
Ok, so I started listening to
a couple days ago. I am close to halfway through it. Don't get me wrong, I am LOVING this book, but does Aria get any better? I mean, she just seems to question and whine over everything Perry says! I know she grew up in a totally different world, but oh my gosh, I just want to shake her and tell her to shut up and listen to Perry!! Please tell me she gets over herself soon!!

Erin wrote: "Annie wrote: "Scott-robert wrote: "Bridget wrote: "Now I've started on . Damn it, Annie!!! Why did you have to go all gaga over this one?? Lol I swear I can't quit ..."Thanks babe! We go crazy with our books and I don't care. It is what makes the best stories...the more emotional we are, the better the book. :)
Bridget wrote: "Ok, so I started listening to a couple days ago. I am close to halfway through it. Don't get me wrong, I am LOVING this book, but does Aria get any better? ..."Yes, she gets way better. By the middle of the second book you'll love her. I didn't love this book at the beginning, mostly because I found it a bit confusing but then by the end of it I really liked it a lot and each book is better than the one before it and Aria winds up totally rocking.
Just finished
. Thanks Annie for recommending it to us all. I got up to chapter 3 yesterday and finished it this afternoon. It was so heartbreaking, then heartwarming. I'm always a slobbering crying fool when I read emotional books. Last one that did it to me before this one was
which I read like a month ago. I'm still not over it.
Annie wrote: "Bridget wrote: "Annie wrote: "Awww Bridget, I'm glad you're enjoying it. Sorry you're crying, but that is part of the experience. Believe me, I cried all the way through. In fact, I started it last..."Oh yeah. Definitely a 5 star read for me. I loved everything about it. Except that it made me cry! Lol. But it was worth it:)
Oh yay! So glad you ladies enjoyed it! Makes me happy when we all cry and love the same books! Another good one is
. Another favorite book of mine from this year. I got an ARC from the author two weeks ago, and it just released this week. Go check it out! It's wonderful! :)
Been AWOL the last few days (if you met my laptop you'd understand) and in that time read I Am Number Four and Diary of an Unsmug Married, neither anything to write home about. Next bus I will be starting Boundless, and I'm pretty excited, although I just remembered the end of Hallowed, sob!

I had given it a 5 but then started thinking so I dropped it to a 4. I feel it was a little rushed, almost like Jordan wasn't sure where it should go. I hate that I had issues with it. It just wasn't as in depth with character development as the first two. Especially with the male character. I'll think on it a bit more before I write my review.

Teresa wrote: "Bridget wrote: "Ok, so I started listening to a couple days ago. I am close to halfway through it. Don't get me wrong, I am LOVING this book, but does Aria ..."Yeah Teresa, most people struggled with the beginning of UtNS and I always tell them to hang in through at least a third of it and that it'll get so good after that. Love this trilogy, one of my all time favorites :)
Annie wrote: "Oh yay! So glad you ladies enjoyed it! Makes me happy when we all cry and love the same books! Another good one is . Another favorite book of mine from this year. I got ..."Oh thanks Annie, another one I'll be adding into my TBR :)

Bridget wrote: "Ok, so I started listening to a couple days ago. I am close to halfway through it. Don't get me wrong, I am LOVING this book, but does Aria get any better? ..."Yeah Bridget, I feel you and yes Aria is a bit annoying in the first part of book 1, but she grows, evolves, and matures as the story progresses and you'll come to love and appreciate her, promise. Initially you find yourself wanting to smack her upside the head a few times LOL! But then you come to enjoy the fact that she brings you along on this amazing journey as you see her actually grow into herself throughout the story and it feels even more real. Hope you end up enjoying the trilogy, it's one of my all time favorites.
Okay so I finished
which I really enjoyed. It was just as good if not a tad more emotional than the first one. Loving The Hathaways series so will definitely be continuing with the rest of the books. I'm a third of the way done with
and talk about a kick in the heart! I'M LOVING IT!! Hate that I can't take off work to just sit and read it :( and my free time is virtually nonexistent with summer vacation *sigh* but will find time to finish it asap. Next up for me
for some lightness (to break up all the emotional heavy reads) and
because I need to know what happens next!

Why thank you Belkis.

I started
it is.....interesting but still HATE HATE HATE multiple POVs. I could handle the first few, but after like 3 I'm like THATS ENOUGH NO MORE!!! Stope telling me what is coming I'd rather not know and experience it as it happens. Ugh.
starting
A new series I know nothing about it, but it sounds interesting and I have read some adult John Sandford books and enjoyed them so I am interested to see how he does with a YA book.
I just started
I finished
to many tears and smiles.I will miss those characters so much.But I can't wait for Emma's book.She is the first heroine we will have that was born and raised a Shadowhunter.

Just finished
. I'm not sure if I really like it or hate it. It's not often that I don't like a book boy but this one was it. Drugs, sex and alcohol with out protagonist being a doormat was an issue for me. It also ended abruptly so I gotta wait till the fall. I'm hoping the idiot doesn't get the girl, or the girl pulls her head out of her ass and opens her eyes. Anyone else in our group read this?

Well 4 stars is still worth a read for sure, I need to start this series soon.
Hello Everyone, My name is Darrell. I like to read when I find the time. And lately my interest has been in the young adult books. I just have a question for some of you.I am wondering what book should I read next. I just finished the Percy Jackson series.
I have a few books I have been looking at. My choices are The Giver by Lois Lowry, Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn, The Hundred-foot Journey by Richard C. Morais (thinking about this one, looks to be lol), If I Stay by Gayle Forman, The Maze Runner by James Dashner, Nicholas Nickleby by Charles Dickens, the 8th book in the house of night series or try to finish the last harry potter book or the last clan of the cave bear book. Let me know which one you choose or if you have a better book I should start with, open to new things.
And not to sure yet on how to get the books to go in my post. I will have it soon. I hope lol

I'd go with
first off its a very emotional book, but it's also going to be a movie, I just saw the trailer for the first time a couple hours ago. But it's definitely a good read.

Always Harry Potter!

But I just wanted more than what Jordan gave. I plan on writing my review this weekend. I'm going to keep it spoiler free if you want to check it out.

If you are going to let me suggest something it would have to be Maze Runner. My favorite dystopian!
Darrell wrote: "Hello Everyone, My name is Darrell. I like to read when I find the time. And lately my interest has been in the young adult books. I just have a question for some of you.I am wondering what book ..."
I was not a fan of Gone Girl, it was just twisted. The movie for the 100 foot journey looks good, so the book is probably a good bet :) But I have heard excellent things about Maze Runner (as Tracy can obviously vouch to)
Mod

Oh yeah Amanda, Maze Runner rocks. How is Gone Girl twisted? I think I have the wrong idea about this book.

You know Tiana, I bought this one because some of the readers were raving about it. I planned on reading it soonish, but if it ends abruptly and we're going to have to wait on book 2 then I'll just wait. Based on your comments, which I completely trust, this book will probably frustrate the heck out of me too. Thanks for sharing.
Desiree wrote: "Nicole D. wrote: "I just startedI finished
