I'm watching Thor right now. I don't think I have seen Chris Hemsworth act before. Well I know I haven't because I don't watch TV or go to the movies so a first for me.

Nicole D. (thereadingrebel) | 969 comments reading The Arrangement (The Survivors' Club #2) by Mary Balogh . I am really in the mood for a regency romance. I LOVED the first book in the series. I have started this like for 20 pages twice but wasn't in the mood then.

He was pretty hot in that movie but I think anyone dressed like that would be awesome. Well maybe not anyone but Brad Pitt would be an awesome Thor.

Yeah, I think if anything I'll toss one of hers in every now and then, but I'm definitely not doing a series read by her anytime soon. I think all JLA fans are seriously bummed out right now, she was like a writing goddess to me and I feel like she went and made herself too commercial. She's out of touch with her readers!!

I'm enjoying hers more than Phury's that's for sure. Ughhhhh I would just rather learn crap from the others POV and be surprised what Xcor does. I don't like knowing what the villain is planning, because if the other characters head in the direction of this guy I scream in my head "Noooooo don't go there it's a trap, no no no ITS A TRAP!!"

I finished Number Thirteen by Bella Jewel and even though I loved the story or the idea of what the story is I didn't care as much for the author's writing. I'm not sure if it was because this was new for her or if she just writes this way. I may have to read something else by her to see.

I think just the opposite. I loved Blood of Eden and thought this one needed much more world building and character work. Glad you enjoyed it.

Haven't read all weekend! I am still reading Wicked (A Wicked Saga, #1) by Jennifer L. Armentrout . Obviously it's not holding my attention since I've been reading it for almost a week. I need to start something else, I think, and then come back to it.

Well, the first book had a lot to do with discovering the secrets behind Talon and St. George. I am sure they will discover more as they go. My problem with Blood of Eden was I just didnt give a damn about any of the characters. Zeke was the biggest disappointment. But all the characters in Talon were awesome. Especially Ember and Riley.

It still wasn't enough for me. I have no idea WHY they are fighting. I needed that in the first book. Otherwise it was just all fluff for me. And the MC went against everything she was ever taught without a second thought. I do like Riley, a lot. But I did not connect with Ember at all. I was really disappointed. I read the first chapter a while back and it sucked me right in. So when I got the ARC I was super excited. But it just didn't live up to my expectations. To each his own, for sure :)

I didn't find it satisfying at all. As a matter of fact, you could have taken out the "dragon" part and had the same story, IMO. I didn't feel like there was ENOUGH dragon. No background at all. It was super frustrating for me. But maybe you'll like it better?

Oh, yeah, The Iron Fey is by far my favourite series by her. So if that one is not for you I cant see how you would like the other two. The Iron Fey and Talon are more similar than the Blood of Eden, so if you do decide to try one that would be your safest bet. Its darker and has less romance. More vampirey.

Heather | 155 comments I'm about to finish Wicked (A Wicked Saga, #1) by Jennifer L. Armentrout FINALLY! I've also been doing a group read of Maplecroft (The Borden Dispatches #1) by Cherie Priest which is a different take on Lizzie Borden...sounds like it'd be amazing but I'm having trouble getting through it too. I'm just not having the best luck with YA right now. So, I'm going back to Rowdy (Marked Men, #5) by Jay Crownover & Play (Stage Dive, #2) by Kylie Scott . Maybe I'll have better luck with those.

I loved Blood of Eden. For some reason, I never finished the Iron Fey series (I remember liking it). I plan on getting to Talon eventually.
