earlier today and 30% in. I liked the beginning, now I'm a little bit bored. I need something big to happen. I mean, the story is good, but I feel like it's a bit drawn out so far. Here's hoping it gets better for me. I heard the second book was better than the first!

It's so expensive, kindle is 12-something and HC 14-something, I love this series but that's too much. Luckily, tomorrow is my B.day and I'm expecting Amazon gift cards from everyone, lol, then I will freely use 1-click button.

I chose
to try and end my reading drought, because I've love Patrick Ness' writing. It was definitely a great choice. Such a beautiful story. It had me crying by the end.
Okay...I'm in a book slump....the books that I've read recently haven't exactly been my favourite books of all time, but they've just been really easy to get into and held my attention right from the start (recent reads are Sebastian St Cyr series, Arcania Chronicles, Wicked and Isla's Inheritance)Now im having trouble finding a book that grabs me...I've picked up
about four times and can't get past the first chapter (I will eventually but it's just not grabbing me right now) ...same goes for
- what I liked about that series was that Katy wasn't a whiny, mopey bitch...all she does in chapter one is whine, mope and bitchAnyway...need a recommendation for something that's easy to get into, preferably UF
Cheers

I want to read this to Nicole. I loved the Choas trilogy. Ness does have a way with words.

Most of the books I read recently were only mind numbing and only enough to while away my free time. I am also looking for good books with heroines who don't mope or whine.
Have you read vampire academy, sweep Wicca, any l j Smith books, seven realms and mediator series. They are really awesome reads and one of the few books that came to my mind. They can get you out of your slump.

Debating rather I want to read
or
next :POr Finish up the Darkest Minds Trilogy(

Yeah I've read VA and bloodlines several times - they are actually my go to "slump re-reads" for when I'm having trouble finding something new, but I know I'll want to re-read them in feb either before or after the last bloodlines comes out so I've decided to branch out this time lol
Also loved Seven Realms...I have Chima's other series, The Heir Chronicles downloaded, but there's always that fear that it won't be as good lol
I'll check out the other ones you mentioned, they sound promising!
Ekaterine wrote: "Belkis wrote: "I was able to listen to my audio book of for a little bit earlier today and was so happy to get back to this wonderful story. I love the wri..."Yes Ekaterine they are pretty expensive. One of the main reasons why I LOVE LOVE my audible.com membership is that apart from saving my eyesight from excessive reading and the fact that I can listen to my books while doing a multitude of things - including work :P - is the fact that expensive books are pretty budget friendly. I ended up paying $9.29 for the audiobook of Blue Lily. The narration to this series is fantastic by the way, and then I can buy the ebook or book later on in the future (if I want to) when it goes on sale or in most cases I can add in the kindle book to tie into the narration for really cheap. I save my 24 book credits in my yearly membership for all of the high priced books that I plan on getting and it works out great. If you enjoy audiobooks Ekaterine I would recommend checking this out. And there are so many perks included in having a membership, like super sale prices on tons of audiobooks, a daily book special, tie in narrations for kindle books you've purchased in the past. Also you should check out Kindle Unlimited which is another awesome Amazon offering for like $9.99 a month you get unlimited access to hundreds and hundreds of ebooks and the added bonus of getting narrations for very cheap to go along with the ebooks :) I'm a total Amazon freak LOL! LOVE LOVE them and Prime is THE BEST EVER! Get loads of perks with Prime membership as well.
Happy Birthday!!

I LOVED it :)
Mod
and so far I like book #1 better. This one has some plot holes that are bothering me.
Ash wrote: "Okay...I'm in a book slump....the books that I've read recently haven't exactly been my favourite books of all time, but they've just been really easy to get into and held my attention right from t..."Have you read any of Elizabeth Hunter's books Ash? I absolutely love her writing. She has a couple of PNR series and 1 contemporary book. I've read and loved all of them. Her latest PNR The Irin Chronicles is fantastic
her Elemental Mysteries
is one of my favorites ever as well. Also have you read
awesome, not UF but still fantastic.
was another one I enjoyed trmendously.
is an amazing trilogy, LOVED it.
I've started this one and it's really good, unique, gritty, great writing.
are favorites, more pnr than uf but still a great series.
all really interesting, strong MC and solid writing. Have you read
and of course - you've probably read this one and like the rest of us are suffering from a massive book hangover but I have to make sure so I don't overlook what was for me the best book of 2014
I hope there's something in here that might help you find your next good read :)

BUT I've picked up the Fever series by Karen Marie Moning - IT IS AWESOME. If you haven't read it yet, I'd recommend it.

I'm sure (and excited over the possibilities) that we will be discovering more great ones in the next few months. I'm anxiously waiting for so many upcoming releases especially
OMG!!!
Have any of you read these??
these are some that I've been wanting to get to for a while and are at the top of my reading list for 2015. So I plan on diving into in them in the next few weeks and wanted to know if anyone has read any of them and your thoughts if any?
Finished
and it was CRAZY. Gave it 5 stars. Now trying to decide what to read next...
Decided on
Been wanting to read this for awhile now, and there is already 4 books out.

I liked Seven, although I think it's the best of that series so far. Loved her Mageri series - specifically Logan. *sigh* He's dreamy

But what Belkis recommended has about a huge potion of what I'd recommend. Kate Daniels, Charley Davidson, I'd do Chicagoland Vampires, Anita Blake Vampire Hunter, Black Dagger Brotherhood (BDB), Riley Jenson Guardian (these are all the series names). Fireborn, which is the name of the first book was really good. Night Huntress series is off the chain. Yep. Great list there. Even Shatter Me series is awesome.

Awesome recommendations, thanks so much everyone!I have read about half the ones you mentioned Belkis, and most of the other half are on my TBR - it's good to know they are worth reading!!
I think I'm gonna go with
for my next pick...I've been putting it off cause I wasn't a huge fan of
(i know i'm odd one out here, but I think it's just a werefolf thing, they're not my fave supernatural being)I also have to read
some time in the next few weeks so i can review it
finshed
and really enjoyed it. 4 stars. Started
which I am really loving and I'm about 30 some percent into it.

You aren't the only one Ash. I tried Shiver several times and couldn't finish it. I did however like The Raven Boys even though I have only read the first one.

I liked the YA romance aspect in the first and I felt like that was completely dropped in book 2, it dragged a bit for me, too. It did get better but I without a doubt liked the first book better. Hope you end up liking it!
Mod
I did that awhile back but need to reorganize. Like everything else in my world, I have great intentions but then life gets in the way and I just start shoving things somewhere to get it off my mind! lol
