I hear you Tracy, some genres are hit or miss for all of of us. I don't care for mysteries, or thrillers, or horror. And UF stories have to be just right for me to enjoy them. I think it's because I'm a total romance buff hahahaha! I need everything to have a love angle in it LOL! That's why PNR is way more enjoyable than UF for me. And I do love my contemporary romances. Of course I'm one of those annoying readers who need to have HEA's because otherwise I'm not a happy camper :P

And yet we usually love the same books! I love mystery, action, UF and horror. Romance is the genre that I have to be in the mood for but when you guys go on about a book I know I have to read it.

Yeah yeah yeah. I didn't cry when I read TFiOS. I knew from the beginning what was going to happen. With this one, I knew...but I'm a masochist, so there's that.

That is me in a nutshell too. A book is usually not quite right for me unless there is some sort of romance in it. it doesn't have to be over the top, but just there somehow. Of course there are some exceptions. Like The Book Thief for example, no romance in that but it was a favorite of mine anyway.

and I'm reading it for the challenge.
Brooke wrote: "If

Ahh I wanna read
so bad! I pre-ordered the audio like a month ago and now my sis has my iPod! Grr....thank god I still have more IAD books to get through, although I may have overdosed a tad there :s

I really enjoyed the Hemlock series. The first book was my favorite, tho.

I finished it last night. It was very good. I didn't cry, I did tear up. But I didn't cry with TFiOS, either. I don't want to spoil things with what happens, though.

Awww, please please don't let it be a FiOS kind of a gut-wrencher! I do want to read this one but if it's the ugly cry kind of read then it will have to be put into rotation behind Me Before You and Bright Star because they're slotted to be next up for the ugly cry spots in my reading agenda this year. There's only so much emotional devastation I can deal with every month.
Okay so I finished
last night and Holy Hell That Was AWESOME! WOW WOW! What an incredible ride from start to finish.
So far this month is turning out to be a fantastic one. Every book I've read so far has be heart-pounding fantastic! I've read these last 3 books
one after the other and all 3 were awesome. I'd planned to start
but I think I need a contemporary to slow things down a bit before I start it reading it. So I'm going to jump into
first since this is another one I've been wanting to read for a while and I've really enjoyed this series so far.

Yeah Danielle, sadly I haven't started the Marked Men series yet. But I definitely plan on reading them soon :)

You can probably listen on your computer too. I don't know which audio website you use but you should be able to listen to it using an app or a media player from a computer, the audio website, etc. With Audible.com I can listen to my audios right from the website on my work computer, my personal laptap, my iPad, my phone, my Kindle (yeah a bit obsessed LOL!). Anyway, hope you can listen to it soon, the book was fantastic and the narration was another great one.

It was pretty good, it got 4 stars from me, obviously had sex in it, but it was quite tasteful and instead of the story revolving around it like certain erotica, it just enhanced the story. Noughts and Crosses is proving pretty good, I had it on my tbr for absolutely ages, then found it for £1 the other day, so thought why not
Belkis wrote: "Brooke wrote: "If

A bit of one. But I really loved the book. It was so well written.

I did not ugly cry, but I didn't ugly cry for TFiOS. If you did, you might with this. Depends on your mood, I guess.

Hahahaha! Give a little while the story take a bit to build up but once it does, the plot, the story-telling, the wonderful characters, is entrancing. So very intricate. I hope it ends up being a good read for you.
started the 3rd one.. strange thing is that I can't wait until I finished it.. there are others I would enjoy more right now..

Same here!! I only read the first VA book and didn't like it, really not interested in reading the rest. Covenant series had me hooked at every page, the characters were just much more likable. I didn't feel the 'obvious' similarities despite VA fans pointing them out, and regardless I think JLA made a more intriguing storyline with it and her characters were just unforgettable vs. a kind of drab VA cast.

LOVED Lick! Such a good story, and I'm liking the new cover a little better, too. The long greasy hair look on the old cover wasn't working for me. :-) You're making me want to get back to the series, I didn't read past this one yet.

I'm so anxious to get back to this series, but I'm afraid of the love triangle...I've been burned before and now I am hesitant to jump into anything I know could go the complete opposite direction of where I want it to! lol I need to read some reviews before I pick up the sequel, though, it's been awhile and these are complicated storylines.

Want so bad now. I haven't read book 2 yet, just so I can binge 2 and 3 together! The control I've had to exercise has been crazy! Especially when the date got pushed back.

I felt the same way re: the love triangle. But, omg Erin, you HAVE to read it! I'm about 40% through & if I didn't have to work I would have stayed up all night to read! Sooooo gooood!
