I KNOW!!! And I had the ARC, but I waited because I didn't want to wait THAT much longer after I read it! LOL!

Have you got/are you getting the ARC for Snow Like Ashes (Snow Like Ashes, #1) by Sara Raasch ? I'd be interested to hear if it stands up to the 'next Throne of Glass' hype

Also, I am still very much hungover too!!! I've just started The Demon King (Seven Realms, #1) by Cinda Williams Chima in the hope that a widely-acclaimed, already complete series might help cure me!! Lol

I have an ARC of it. It's on my TBR, of course! The author is coming to my area Oct 9th. I might go to the signing, we'll see.

LMAO! I'm sorry Tracy :D (*wink, I'm really not hahahaha!) I LOVE LOVE our group! The fact that between all of us we read and recommend so many great books. Our group ROCKS!

Oh my goodness Ash I'm totally lusting LUSTING over Snow Like Ashes!! I'm crossing my fingers that it'll turn out to be a good one. Several of the more recently released books have gotten less than stellar reviews/ratings. So sad. But there are still many promising ones on the horizon, including SLA. And oh my, the bookcovers!! I'm such a cover hussy LOL! on that note has anyone read The Dolls by Kiki Sullivan yet??

Oh and I've heard loads of good things about the Seven Realms series so please let me know how you like it as I'm thinking about reading it eventually :)

Oh yes yes Bridget!! Now I want to reread the Slammed trilogy again :D I'm going to add them back into my Next Up shelf so I can give them another listen soon along with Maybe Someday which I'm totally going to relisten to again. I'm such a CoHo fanatic. And let's talk about Finding Cinderella (Hopeless, #2.5) by Colleen Hoover for a minute shall we?!? So freaking LOVED this novella! Danny & Six's story is so beautiful, and heartbreaking, and funny, ahhh, perfect and I need to listen to the audio for it which I bought and haven't listened to it since reading it the first time around. I know, I'm crazy!

You should see my TBR Tracy LOL! I don't think I can call it a TBR anymore it's so huge. I keep trying to weed through all of the books so I can make sure to keep all of the ones I definitely desperately want/need to get to without accidentally missing them but so far it's not working out so great since every other day there's a new one or few news ones releasing that I want to read and then our great group members finding awesome ones too I just can't keep up. Sigh. I need to read faster Tracy!

Belkis (bminaya) | 8313 comments Okay finished listening to Unmasked Volume Two (Unmasked, #2) by Cassia Leo and ot was very good. It's intriguing and now I need to get to the next one Unmasked Volume Three (Unmasked, #3) by Cassia Leo as soon as possible.

It sounds intriguing, but I wasn't sure if I'd like it even though I do like Cassia Leo. I may give it a go. Thanks again, Belkis. lol

It's been an interesting read so far Donna, not what I had expected it to be, in a good way :)

I am pretty sure Daniel was my FAVORITE character from the Hopeless series. I just loved him in Losing Hope.

I have This is Falling, which I'm excited to read. All the others look good too! One-clicking is my habit... which can get me into trouble! haha

We'll see who gets to them first. Some weeks I can get through five books, and sometimes I'm lucky to get through one. I need to get through 30 LOL


message 8631: by Lynn (new)

Lynn I've just finished Play (Stage Dive, #2) by Kylie Scott . I LOVED Mal, had me laughing so much I couldn't breathe.

I'm now starting Lead (Stage Dive, #3) by Kylie Scott warily, as I've seen a few people not like this one.
Seems odd that there's a possibility this could be bad as I loved the first two.

Yeah Lynn, same for me I loved the firsy 2 books for this Stage Dive series and Mal was a hoot! Even in this third book Mal rocked. I wasn't a fan of Lead but the second half was better than the first and by the end I was okay with the series to want to continue onto Ben's book so I guess that's a good sign. Hope you enjoy it.

Ugh Laura I'm sorry. I hate it when we get so invested in a series only to be disappointed by it. Thank goodness I gave up on this one early on, didn't go past book 2.

I was after Opal (Lux, #3) by Jennifer L. Armentrout . I just couldn't handle the cliffhangers anymore. I felt that she left them that way to ensure that you would get the next book, which is the why of most authors, but I was just tired of the wait.

Honestly, I was done after book three. I just feel like this was drawn out and that she could have made it a trilogy as originally planned.
