Really? I loved Finnikin of the Rock. Everyone's tastes are different. There's been a few hyped books/series that I didn't get either *cough* twilight and 50 shades of grey *cough*.

The cover looks really interesting. Giant murderous cats. That does sound scary!

Nicole I've just started The Eternity Cure (Blood of Eden #2) by Julie Kagawa . I'm having trouble getting into it because I've been so busy. It'll be good to have some time over the Christmas weekend to just sit down and read.

I love when that happens Kitlina. That happened to me with The False Prince (The Ascendance Trilogy, #1) by Jennifer A. Nielsen and so many more.

OK Tasha I can understand why it is scary. The cover is scary by itself so I can only imagine the inside.

I need to reread this and the first book so I can get onto the last book. I love this series so far and can't wait to see how it ends.

Yeah, there have been a few for me too. I havent read Twilight or 50 tho. For me its Fever and Night Huntress. Lumatere is good enough for me to continue reading at least. Those two I quit after 2 books each. And they are long cussing series!

I enjoyed it (**eye roll** of course). But I didn't read the novella it's coupled to. I may get around to it, or not. We'll see.

I managed to finish There is No Light in Darkness (Darkness, #1) by Claire Contreras while everyone was playing with their Christmas gifts, my kids are older and their stuff doesn't require assembly. BUT OMG the cliffhanger! Thank goodness I have the next book. Now to find the time to read it.

Ekaterine (thegoddess) | 478 comments Merry Christmas Everyone!

I'm in a reading slump. It's a dark place to be on Christmas holiday. I started like five books and can't seem to concentrate on any of them. Hopefully it will pass soon.

Anyways, enjoy your time with you families! :))

Finished Willowgrove (Hemlock, #3) by Kathleen Peacock last night. It was ok. I wasn't thrilled with it. I thought there'd be more of a "BOOM" ending. I am trying to get There Will Be Lies by Nick Lake done but I'm not that far into it. It's really weird.

If you haven't read Midnight's Daughter (Dorina Basarab, #1) by Karen Chance and you like UF I highly recommend it, it takes several chapters before it gets going but once it does yea!!

Definitely worth it. I just finished book 2 of "End of Eternity" and holy mother of all cliffhangers. Can't wait for book 3.


message 13283: by Paula (new)

Paula (littledarling2012) | 621 comments Finished End of Eternity 2 by Loretta Lost and absolutely loved it. But man, what a cliffhanger. Cannot wait for book 3.

Now starting Wingman Woman  by Bella Jewel . Love Bella Jewel's books, so cannot wait to start it.

It's slow in parts and kind of simple but not a bad read. Huge cliffhanger though so have the second one.

C.R. Fladmark (crfladmark) | 7 comments I started reading book 3 in the Maze Runner series, the Death Cure The Death Cure. Is it just me or has Dashner lost his way here? What happened to group A and Theresa? Why is Thomas not taking any leadership role? Does it get better or should I give up?

You should finish it CR because it is good. Although he does veer off the path a little in this one.

I started Make it Last (Bowler University, #3) by Megan Erickson . So far it's just ok. I don't like it as much as the first two. I'm about 40% in and it took the turn I thought would take the whole book to get to so now I'm wondering where it will go to hold my interest. Also reading There Will Be Lies by Nick Lake and it's SO WEIRD! There was just a "revelation" which I figured out from page 1. Oh well. I have two other books I need to get to this week, I hope I can!

I don't mind cliffhangers that much unless I have to wait months and months for the next book. Then I just start to pout and lose interest in the story.

I have the second one as well so that wouldn't be a problem. But you don't sound that enthusiastic about it, so I won't be moving it up my TBR list.

Hopefully you will get them done Brooke. I need to finish Lies Beneath (Lies Beneath, #1) by Anne Greenwood Brown and then I think I'm going to read a bunch of those freebies on my TBR shelf.

Oh I loved Lies Beneath. That was my favorite of all three books. I love Calder's POV! The second book is from the girl's POV and I didn't like it as much. Third is dual, so it was a bit better for me. I liked the series overall, though. My first mermaid series.
