I have them all waiting in my kindle I need to remember to get to them too Brooke.
Teresa wrote: "Finally starting 
and so far it's really good."Loved HoF Teresa. I hope you end up loving it too.
Nicole wrote: "Belkis wrote: "So I finished

I also finished [bookcover:Bikers and Tinsel|19301526..."I'm almost done with book 3 and in this one it does :) I can't really remember if it does in SB since it's been a while since I read book 2 but they're all very good Nicole.
The Cover Contessa wrote: "Tracy wrote: "The Cover Contessa wrote: "Lajuana wrote: "Just finished City of Lost Souls ....think I'm gonna check out [book:The Infernal Devices: Clockwork Angel; Clockwork Prince;..."I read the first 2 books for TMI and I didn't really like them. But I absolutely loved TID.

Mod
and absolutely ADORED it. Just as much as Lola. I can't decide if I like Lola or this one better. But I'm sad..."I absolutely loved it. It was a bit heart wrenching at times, though, I actually spilled some tears. Not big ugly sobbing tears, but more like the "oh no, what will happen now?" kind of tears!
Mod
TID is one of my all time favorites. Mostly b/c I just could not get enough of Will. But also because it's Steampunk and I love the timeframe!

Mod
Yes! He is my all time favorite male character. I want to make him mine!
The Cover Contessa wrote: "Belkis wrote: "The Cover Contessa wrote: "Tracy wrote: "The Cover Contessa wrote: "Lajuana wrote: "Just finished City of Lost Souls ....think I'm gonna check out [book:The Infernal D..."Yes, Will is a great character. I think TID books would make great movies. Did you see the first TMI movie? It was not good.
Tracy wrote: "I just finished 
and it was OK. This series doesn't wow me but I am very comfortable with the characters and enjoy reading them."I love Chicagoland vamps but I'm not a fan of Mallory and how some of the characters who are 80-100 yrs old act like teens.
I haven't read this one yet.
Ash wrote: "Tracy wrote: "The Cover Contessa wrote: "Tracy wrote: "The Cover Contessa wrote: "Lajuana wrote: "Just finished City of Lost Souls ....think I'm gonna check out [book:The Infernal De..."Oooo I completely agree I got up to book 3 started book 4 but DNF it just had too many POVs changing at important times and I didn't care about those POVs. That also made me uncomfortable and definitely wasn't needed.
Mod
Yes, they would make great movies. I didn't really like the TMI movie. First, I didn't like the guy who played Jace. Not good looking enough. Second,they changed part of the story line, pissed me off. BUT I did like the girl they chose to play CLary. I think she fit that part well. And the guy for Simon was utterly perfect.
I finished
and it was great! It had me LOL over and over and the trilogy wrapped up nicely. Very good trilogy. Now I've started
.

Just finished
and it was so great. It brought so many smiles to my face that I lost count. It's easy on the heart fluff. I loved the first book also. And this one was in Kyle POV so YUMMY
I'm halfway through
. Was very slow to start but it has picked up.FYI I know a few of you have said you loved
. Goodreads is giving away an advanced copy of the second book
in their giveaways section.

Mod
I read the first book, and when the whole sibling thing popped up I stopped reading the series. I had no interest in reading 2+ books of them pining for each other in vain. If it'd been handled quickly I probably would be more willing to go back to it.
Mod
which was pretty good. I have to say though, I am so bummed because for some reason when I finished
I thought I was FINALLY at Q and Blay's book...only to realize I had to get through Tohr's first. UGH I'm seriously thinking about skipping over, I was giddy excited to finally see the boys get their HEA and now I have to get through Tohr's and I'm not a huge fan of him. BDB fans, is book 10 worth a read?
You shouldn't skip it, Erin. There's big developments in Tohr's book that will leave you confused if you just go to Qhuinn and Blay's book.
Lajuana wrote: "Just finished City of Lost Souls ....think I'm gonna check out The Infernal Devices: Clockwork Angel; Clockwork Prince; Clockwork Princess before I finish the series...."Ahhhhhh! TMI/TID are the best series ever! I love both pretty equally. The last book of TMI was just perfect and bittersweet. I can't wait for the next shadowhunter series. I can read a thousand books and never get tired of that world.
The Cover Contessa wrote: "Belkis wrote: "The Cover Contessa wrote: "Finished and absolutely ADORED it. Just as much as Lola. I can't decide if I like Lola or this one bett..."Glad you loved it! I love how different our opinions are. Anna remains my favourite and Isla my least, and I believe you were the opposite.
Belkis, can't wait to see what you think of it:)
Annie wrote: "Lajuana wrote: "Just finished City of Lost Souls ....think I'm gonna check out The Infernal Devices: Clockwork Angel; Clockwork Prince; Clockwork Princess before I fi..."I agree with you Annie. I don't care if that's all she writes about because it's amazing and I will read it!!! I know people criticize her for that, but at least the stories from each series is so different aside from the Shadowhunters. I can't get enough!!
Tiana411 wrote: "Annie wrote: "Lajuana wrote: "Just finished City of Lost Souls ....think I'm gonna check out [book:The Infernal Devices: Clockwork Angel; Clockwork Prince; Clockwork Princess|1580369..."Amen, sister! I don't listen to the rude and hateful comments. That woman can write. Period. She'll always have a fan in me. Always.
The Cover Contessa wrote: "Teresa wrote: "The Cover Contessa wrote: "Belkis wrote: "The Cover Contessa wrote: "Tracy wrote: "The Cover Contessa wrote: "Lajuana wrote: "Just finished City of Lost Souls ....thin..."I agree, that was the perfect "Simon" he's a great "cheesy actor" I fell in love with him when he played on The Misfits...it's a hulu original, but they cast him perfectly in that too...
just about finished with
about 100-200 pages into
damn this book is massive, its daunting

And I guess she meant there are similar apps for it. I'd like to know which, as well!
Mod
I can see this. There is a twist, but I won't put it here. If you saw the movie, then you know that it's there.
Mod

Besides Erin, delayed gratification and all that.
Started reading the ARC of
and loving it so far.
Mod
and it continues to not pull me in.Reading
along side it and it's much more pulling! LOL!
And just finished recently
. That was fantastic. Loved the characters and the story to bits. Same goes for
. Perfect m/m romance.
I bought this whole series .99 each awhile ago and have yet to read one of them yet... Actually I have all of her books and havent read one of them Now thats a 1-click addict! Tracy wrote: "Donna wrote: "Belkis wrote: "So I decided to go with

Prefer the book to the movie. Never watched it and I don't want to. I think making a movie from a book kills it. Ugh
I finished
it took me awhile to get through it I wasnt really into it it wasnt what I was expecting for a High Fantasy kind of story it was a bit too slow and meh Not sure Ill continue with the books maybe just to see how everything works out but I wont be rushing to finish them.Also finished
Loved it!Finished
ok so this series hasnt been the best of series but its been enough to keep my interest But this book! it was really Boring!Oh and I cant forget
again it was just ok for me but the last 1/4 or so of the book really hit home with me Its exactly what Im going through right now or have been most of this year minus the surgery ... Now Im finishing up
Its a bit different for me older women younger guy but still not amazing but not bad.Next up I think is
or
Oh and if there are any
Fans out there I just bought
Kind of a spin off but I guess not really just a "New Grown Up Crowd" So looking forward to this also!
Mod

So glad you liked
. So many are complaining about the length, etc. But I think it was needed to build the new world. I adored it.
The length didnt bother me there was so much introduced to us that I see why it was so long and besides the Audio Narrator does such an amazing job I just love listening to her! The Cover Contessa wrote: "Laura wrote: "I finished

Hey all - i don't want this to come across as spamming, just a simple shout out :) My magazine (The Australia Times Books) has just started up a book club on goodreads (we're doing an Aussie, an Adult, a YA and a 'bucket list' selection every month) and I thought some of you might be interested in joining in on the YA reads (more than welcome to do the others too lol)
One of our first books (for October) is
- a great YA/NA paranormal set in Aus...from what I hear it has done really well in the US as well. The author of this series (Paula Weston) is being interviewed for the magazine and has actually just joined the book club, so I'd really love to get heaps of YA fans there to get a good discussion going!Anyway, here's the link, cheers https://www.goodreads.com/group/show/...
Mod
The Cover Contess..."
Yes, I agree. It needed to be long to introduce all the new stuff for sure. I think it added so much more depth to the series and I cannot wait to see where it goes.

Lol I never wanted it to end!! I would have been happy with another 500 pages!!!
Mod
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My cousin just finished last night and she is mad at me because she has to wait. The other night she said, "why did you give me a series that is not done? I still have to wait for another three books." I actually told her this before I even offered to let her borrow them to read! LOL! I guess she didn't listen!
The Cover Contessa wrote: "Ash wrote: "The Cover Contessa wrote: "Laura wrote: "The length didnt bother me there was so much introduced to us that I see why it was so long and besides the Audio Narrator does such an amazing ..."Haha lol I just bought the first three for my sister...she hasn't finished them yet but she had a similar reaction when I said there were still another three books lol ...I told her I wanted her to experience the same pain haha
Mod
LMAO! Oooo...I'm gonna tell my cousin this, that she gets to be in pain with me. FUN! LOL!
Just finished Bound by Sarah Downing - reviewed on GR.Enjoyable story despite needing a good proofread.
