tells us one more time that everything is her fault I'm going to scream. she did the same thing throughout Thornhill and it annoyed me so much I bumped the book rating down!

Gonna think on it a bit and see what we can come up with in the quest of slimming down our tbr's :P

The Scorpio Races is beautifully written Tracy and very unique story, you should give it another try. Maybe on audio? I liked the narration if I remember correctly.

I finally finished
. Ugh! What started off as a promising book has ended up being a cringing mess. This could have been so much more, but the annoyance I felt with the characters and the overuse of what they were feeling grated on my nerves. I wanted to say "WE GET IT! JENNI IS JEALOUS OF ANYBODY THAT COMES CLOSE TO KATIE!" I also found the story line to be a bit hypocritical. It was ok to outright kill any stranger that was bitten. But when it came to someone they knew, they got to spend as much time with them as possible. And from the reviews to the second installment, it doesn't seem this series get much better.

For now I bought the second season in kindle ebook form because I didn't want to wait to continue reading the story.

I liked it too. It was well written and unique, but it was definitely on the slower side. I've never tried an audio book, I'm sort of curious about the difference. I think for slower paced books sometimes you have to be in the right frame of mind to read it. At least that's how it is for me.
Brooke wrote: "Belkis wrote: "Tracy wrote: "Belkis wrote: "I finished which of course I enjoyed :) and now I'm about a third way into and is quite..."Oh good, thanks Brooke. Let's see if I make it to the audio before I get through all of the books hahaha.

Something Like Normal by Trish Doller
Alabama: Sweet Home by Tillie Cole
just finished
and let me tell you, it left me speechless. I thought I would read a nice story about a bunch of kids saving the world and all that jazz but I got so much more than I've bargained for, this was absolutely amazing.
the author is having and R4R in our group, give it a go guys, it's worth it
It's been ages since I was on here last...life has been a bit hectic and so there wasn't much reading done. But over the past two days I started and finished
and
. Loved both of those books. Breath-taking, emotional, original. Book one
I already finished a few months back. Now starting the spin-off
. Can't wait.
I'm a little unsure what to read. Just finished
which took forever even though it was awesome. Ended a little too perfectly but still... It was Barrons. 'Nuf said. Also finally finished
, which as much as I love KA, was not my cup of tea. Also finished
(the part from EH) & it was good. SO, I may start
which I just got or nothing until the 29th when something I've been waiting on comes out. I can't remember what it is but its been preordered so I'm excited. It's a surprise belated Christmas present. (Don't laugh at me. I'm lucky I can remember to put on deodorant!)
Just finished
. It was pretty meh, although a little better than
. This is one of the hugely popular series that I just dont get the hype.Starting

So this series is amazing,
that's book 1 I stayed up until 4 am finishing that one a few days ago now I stayed up until 4 am last night to finish
this series is awesome it's right up there with Jeaniene Frost and Ilona Andrews and Charley and everything. It's awesome. It has vamps, fey, detective ish stuff ROMANCE feels yea. If you're always looking for a UF this is one I would recommend.Downside book 4 isn't out but upside author keeps you in the loop posted a teaser to it on Dec 2nd so I know she hasn't dropped off the planet or anything. But yea. Awesome. I am now debating reading book 3 or waiting until book 4 so that I remember things.....
Reading
for my state book, I just typed in Alabama then priced highest to lowest and grabbed the first on the list (attempting to branch out my genres next year). I have to say, I'm only about 20% in and it's one of the scariest things I've ever read

It's funny Tracy, I actually tried once to see if it were possible to read a book and listen to an audio book at the same time. Haha, didn't work out. Something only a true book addict would ever think of doing.
