I know your decision is already made bit I totally agree with Daughter of Smoke and Bone. I read the Shadow and Bone series but only really liked the first one, the other two were just ok for me but I loved all the Laini Taylor books - and funny thing is in your little picture you kind of look like her too :)
I got around to reading
the other day and really enjoyed it...it's been a while since I read something by JLA and I have to admit I was missing her a bit....I will say this though - if Team Roth doesn't triumph in book 3 I may have to boycott her forever!! :)I was still in a bit of a demon mood after I finished so I decided to read
...umm..big mistake! If you enjoy plot holes, cliches, annoying whiny goodie goodie heroines and preachy subtext then this is the perfect book for you...if not, steer clear!

I enjoyed the Sweet trilogy enough, but not as much as others. It was just ok for me.

Reading
for a snowed in challenge for another group, I'm not sure what to read after, it's a fantasy book so the majority of my bookshelf should do!

It's taking me a little longer to get through because my daughter is doing lots of girl scout things for the holidays. I haven't gotten to where it switches to Jakes pov. I'm dying to know why he's going home every weekend! I'm sure it's cuz of Ivy. But I LOVED My Skylar! I just wish I'd read them in order. I don't remember much of Jake N Nina even though they were important to Skylars story.

See, it just didn't do it for me. I'm sad about that.
Mod
and while I was annoyed that there was so much narrative/info dump/world building for the first 1/2, the second half TOTALLY made up for it. I think because she's not used to writing this genre it must have been hard for her. The writing is REALLY good. Not surprised b/c it's Carmack. Ended up jumping it from 3.5 to 4.5-5! Review to come. Also finished
and I'm excited to move on to the next one, which is not yet listed on GR: Atonement. It's the final episode and since the last one ended on a cliffy I need to jump right into it. Also going back to
as I need to finish it before Tuesday!

It was a train wreck you couldn't help to keep reading. I think I read it after Thoughtless, and so it felt like it was on the same train so to speak. So I think for me I was driven nuts because of thoughtless.

I just started the first book in The White Years!

I LOVED Beautiful Disaster and Walking Disaster but not so much A Beautiful Wedding. Ive never read Thoughtless no matter how many times I look at it to buy I just cant bring myself to buy it ...I liked Beautiful Oblivion and looking forward to the next book in that series.

Same for me Laura. BW is my least favorite but BD & WD I loved.

I do the SAME thing with Thoughtless! I know it's supposed to be great but I always pass it by for something else.
Mod
Loved this book.
Mod
I liked this one but I don't want to read the next. I don't want my illusions shattered.
I'm currently reading Redemption by Randi Cooley Wilson. It's the 3rd book in her Revelation series. I've loved them all so far. It's a great PNR, with just the right amount of swoon & supernarural adventure.

oh Tracy you definitely should read the second book, it's way better than the first one :)

But after all they went through I can't stand what happens.

Glad to see I can stir it up again. It's a love hate relationship for me. On more than several occasions while reading thoughtless series is wanted to chuck my iPad across the room...with BD and WD only on occasion did I feel maybe a headdesk was sufficient because honestly they were doing stupid things, stupid stupid stupid things. Like travis on the couch scene while Abby is in his bed ughhhhhhh. Lol.

and I just got to chapter 18 [spoilers removed]"Payne's pov was a bit of a let down for me too. When her character was first introduced, she was a bit of a badass. But once inside her head, I found her to be very "choseny" or "chosenlike".
....I'm fully aware that I am making up my own terms to describe her character. :)
So I just finished watching The Giver and I loved it! I never really wanted to read the book but I'm going to now. Especially knowing most books are way better than the movie! SO, has anyone else read

But I completely get what you mean by that. I've only had her POV for chapter 18 so far so I haven't seen that, but it would make sense since she's barely been out in the world.
Danielle (Danniegurl) wrote: "Ughhhhhh reading and I just got to chapter 18 [spoilers removed]"Yeah it can drive anyone nuts sometimes for sure Danielle I agree. But I LOVE LOVE this book to death it's one of my absolute favorites for this series. Love John Matthew's & Xhex story!!

I just finished it a few hours ago and just went and bought the rest of the series.It was great.

The next one was better than this, IMO. It's Adam's POV and I just loved "hearing" him tell his story. It's also three years later.
