Glad you are enjoying this one Charlie. I read it some time ago and the starting over thing went on a little to long for me.

Okay, finished
and first half drove me crazy and second half had me hooked. Ending was expected but not so that I wasn't too caught off guard and has me intrigued to read the next one but not sure I'm ready for that lol



I felt exactly the same way about it! I couldn't stand the main character but then everything started coming around and I liked it by the time it was over.


Yes you do - it is an awesome series.


Afterwards I'm planning on reading


I'm almost finished with
and then I'm not sure what's next. I have
that I'm dying to start but afraid to.




OMG Endless Knight was soooo good. DoW was really good also. The ending... can't wait for the next book.

Have you read any of her Immortals After Dark books?


Just picked this one up. These kindle only books are kind of frustrating because I have a nook, but I have the kindle app on my phone, just hate the small screen




The Notebook is one of my all time favorite movies. I never read the book though.

Glad you did. You could just convert it if it's not the format you like.

I loved this book. I think this is Oliver's best book. Yes, they are bitchy, but that's the point. The point is the fact that her character develops into something totally different.

Well, it had to happen one day! LOL! You didn't like it, I take it? Also, keep in mind, I read this a while back, when Oliver was the be all end all for me. I have since found better authors, to be honest. If I read it now, I am not sure I would feel the same way I did back then!

Finished
and really enjoyed it. I was worried for a bit at the end, though. I didn't love it as much as the first, but still really good. Started
and so far I'm not impressed (and from the ratings I see not many have been). It's weird, written in two POV's but one first person and one third. I'm not sure how much longer I'll give it...






LoveThe Notebook! Both the movie and the book. Loved both. Hope you enjoy it Sara.

I'm almost finished with
and I'm enjoying it but not really in the mood for romance so I'm listening to
which is far from romance so a nice balance.

I have a feeling she won't allow them to change it drastically enough to make me happy. From what I've read, she was very strong in her beliefs about why she chose that crappy ending (I know, I know, there are fans of the ending, but I just wish she'd have made things seem one way and then turn around to be a HEA or something...), and unless they force her I can't see her going another route...maybe an alternate ending option? lol

A lot of people felt that way, which is why I never got back to the series after Divergent. I was so frustrated to hear the series didn't keep it's awesome momentum, and then when I found out about that ending it ust pissed me off to no end.

I also thought the ending was good, anything else would have gone against Tris's personality completely
