I put this on my TBR. Now if I could just get to it.


I put this on my TBR. Now if I could just get to it.
We need to do a TBR challenge next year. I swear I have over 2,000 books on that stinking shelf. I'm never going to get all of those read. I mean seriously, I will have to live a thousand years to read everything I want to.


This is my beef with a lot of series these days. It's like the author stretches the story out so long to get as many books out as possible but in the process the books wind up being too long and too boring. Like a 5 book series could have been told in 3 books instead. I just sort of find that irritating. Not all series are like that but a lot I've read lately are.

What she said. Loved it.

I agree. Need to knock some of the never ending tbr down for sure. Especially with the way this group keeps me adding to it!

LMAO!! You girls are killing me I'm laughing so hard! Impaling??!! OMG that does not sound good at all LOL!


I really liked the Unearthly series Teresa. Very interesting story and take on angels.


I liked Knight too Ekaterine. I honestly have to say I haven't read a KA book I didn't enjoy :)


loved this one but then the author wrote 2 other books in what was supposed to be a standalone. kin..."
I still need to read The Opportunist as well as Mud Vein they're both supposed to be really really good.




Oh I loved Grave Mercy Tracy


Oh this is a good one, Sara. But it also makes you want to pull your hair out and sling the kindl..."
Yeah Tracy this month is not going to be a great reading time with all of the holiday shopping and festivities :)



I have both of these in my tbr Bridget so I'm glad they're good ones.

Yep that's the one.
Yep that's the one.

Hahahaha! We'll be the little old ladies who lived in a book Tracy! I'm never ever going to get through my tbr either :D


Completely agree Teresa. And in the cases where the quality of the series isn't sacrificed and the story actually needs it, then yes! by all means keep the books coming and entertain and engage me PLEASE! but just adding books for the sake of stretching out just for the profit makes no sense :(

Bwahahahahaha! You know that between all of us finding good books to recommend left and right, we're never ever going to get our shelves down right?? LOL! We're going to have to build ourselves book houses hahahahaha!

I want to start this series soon, I kept adding it to the pile then taking it off for something else!

I agree completely! I've come across a lot like this, there's only so much story you can get out of some series and the authors just don't get that.

Oh I loved both!! Full Measures was a hard act to follow, but ETS still made me melt and swoon big time. =)

Hemlock! Haven't seen that one on this thread in ages, I completely forgot about that series. I loved the first, the second was pretty good. Definitely want to finish the series, though, glad you're starting it!

So my head is a mess right now with holiday planning and school events for the kids, and I can't remember what I've posted recently. lol So if anything is a repeat, just ignore!
I finished
and loved it, and
which may be my fave of the series so far!!
Read
, it was good but not up to par with Sivec's other series, and
, a gritty and sexy story that's not for everyone but I really liked.

It's entertaining and easy to read. But I can definitely see why people didn't like it. Lily needs smacking and love interest is a stalker with capital S. Not good combination.

I have Mud Vein too, Tracy. I picked it up few weeks ago,but reviews made me rethink it. We can buddy read,if book isn't good at least reading experience will be better. :)


Exactly! There is no need to drag out series if it told it's story already. You ruin your own work and annoy us without a good reason. I hate when it happens to my favorite series. It happens too often in pnr, by the time you read the 13th book it has nothing new to offer and even characters aren't the same and not in a good way. I just heard there will be 4th book in the Selection series, I'm just saying WTF?


That's my favourite book in the series! It's the only one I've actually bought and not just borrowed from the library. His back story is so sad.

I know Nicole. I am at the present now but I was tore up through his beginnings. I don't see how he turned out so beautiful inside.

I only got through the first book in Selection. Didn't care to know the rest.

Did you like it? I'm a fan of the T/S relationships, but lately I haven't had much luck. I read

Mine is unnecessary drama. I can't stand when characters are running around like a headless chicken and throwing tantrums when one conversation would solve all their problems. You are grown up, freaking act like it.
I totally understand that Ekaterine. It's somewhat acceptable in YA but even then can turn into a lot of unnecessary drama.

it was okay. the relationship could have been explored, they could have had depth and the story was simple. its your everyday sappy romance.


I haven't heard of this one Veronica. Is it good?"
the premise was good but at the end it was not so great.

So far I'm really liking the first. I had no idea what it was about! I love werewolves and already have my thoughts on how things will pan out. I'm about 22% in.

every time I get one read, I add three more to the list. I will never finish mine either..haha!

I loved the opportunist. Loved how unique it was but since it didnt have your conventional HEA there were 2 other books to ruin the uniqueness of the 1st book. and book 3, i absolutely hated. Too much sacrificed in that book.


Every once in a while I'll go through mine and delete books I am not longer interested in or that are terribly rated. I just don't have the time to read everything but I'd like to. Lol.




Hemlock sounds good. Of course I added it!

Oh, that's to bad. Well I suppose I won't read it then.

Well...I started it once and put it aside. I guess I wasn't in the mood for it. I do however, have it in audio so I will give it another shot.
