Still desperately need to read book 2 for this. It's Lucas' POV! Need to read it this month somehow...
Mod
and I'm bored. 26% in and nothing has really happened. The girl is pining over the guy (and it's annoying b/c I haven't seen any interaction between them that would make her attracted...it's all about his looks). And we were just introduced to two new characters and it's obvious who they are.
Mod
Loved The Fine Art of Pretending! I cannot wait for the next one. and Rachel is a super sweetie! And Keep with Under The Never Sky. It's a bit odd at first, but it is REALLY good.
Mod
at 34%. I just can't deal with the MC and her pining over this guy she hardly knows (all for looks). The author didn't show any interactions to make me feel the connection at all. Plus, nothing has really happened. That's two books by this publisher I had to DNF this week.

It happens. Characterization is pretty important to me. I can forgive a lot of other flaws (even TSTL) if the characters are written well enough.
About half way through
. Who's read this? So excited for the movie next year - totally think it being a Tim Burton movie was dead on. I think it's soooo creative how the old pictures are used to write the story around. The story doesn't blow my mind, but the concept is so cool I still end up loving it.
Finished
3 stars it was just too slow for me and the action was all smushed into the last 10% which is annoying. I am interested though in the second book to see if it's better, but idk if I can hang.

I haven't read this one yet Kelly but did read the first and loved it.
Mod
back up. I've only read the first 6 chapters. I know it will make me happy. I still have to finish
, as well.

Tracy this one has a lot more pictures - I had heard that and was worried that it would be like... the author wanted to squeeze so many pictures in that they wouldn't tie in with the story and it would just seem ridiculous, but that's not the case at all. I think the 2nd one is better than the first!(so far)
Brooke wrote: "Tasha wrote: "OMGOMGOMGOMG has a release date and title!!!!!!! Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!"MEEP!"
Ditto for me Brooke :D cannot wait!!

Brooke wrote: "Maria wrote: "Brooke wrote: "DNF'd at 34%. I just can't deal with the MC and her pining over this guy she hardly knows (all for looks). The author did..."Well Brooke I've grabbed many books based mostly on cover lust too LOL! Happily most of them have been good reads too :P

Mod

Went to the library today and got new books..yay! Started
first and I think I am already hooked!

and was really disappointe..."I know it was her POV at first so he seemed so wonderful. But it just kind of came out of left field for me. It was a complete switch in personality on his side, and in my mind we would have seen a piece of that earlier. All we really saw was her starting to move away from him because of Warner. I don't know. . . I just liked Adam and was really disappointed she decided to make him a bad guy to make the choice easier.
Excited to finally say I'm about halfway through
. I have no idea who did it, I don't trust anyone but am so excited to find out! Only stopping because I'm literally falling asleep
Mod

Good Kelly. I need to bump it up. I wonder if they have the pics in the eBook or just paper books.

Mod
yesterday and now I need more mystery. However I'm reading
and it's OK but the romance part of this is confusing me. They are liking each other when they shouldn't and...well just confused.
Brooke wrote: "~RininTa~ wrote: "Currently reading . This book is so good!!!"STILL need to get to this one! UGH!"
Yeah, you should get this book! The story is so so so good! :))
@Belkis: I just finished this book and...OMG! I fall in love with it. I also need the second one! :D
Reading
I just started it and cannot wait to see what twists and turns I'm going to hit every book in this series just leaves you guessing and wondering what the heck is going on and who did what and how things are conneconnected. Honestly this series so far is a whole mind f*** excuse my french lol but its very true
Mod
I just started it and cannot wait to see what twists and turns I'm going to hit every book in this series just leaves you guessing and wondering what the heck..."Sounds interesting Katrina. I may have to check it out.
Mod
and was really disappointed by Adam blah which makes me love Warner even more than ever. On to finally reading [bookcover:Ignite..."Exactly; I just think the massive difference in Adam from the start to the finish of this series was such a disservice to his character. I absolutely adored him, I literally went right back and read Shatter Me as soon as I finished because I wanted to see it knowing who Adam really was to her in the beginning, not just some soldier. It was such an intense and beautiful thing between them, and Tahereh crushed that and ruined him in the process. I love how Warner became a better person for her and the connection between them, but I think she just trashed Shatter Me by doing that. Just my opinion, of course, but if you read through the SM reviews, EVERYONE loved Adam. It's like this 'rave about Adam' fest in the SM reviews, so I was shocked at how she handled him given how much her readers loved him.
Mod
late Tuesday night and loved it. It was very emotional. I cried through a lot of it, but so so very good. Thanks again Sar..."My plan to read this with IAD book 5 backfired, I couldn't put the vamp down for the day! lol I'll be reading it a bit tonight so I can cry and not worry about my makeup going to hell... ;-) Glad you loved it!
Mod
and was really disappointed by Adam blah which makes me love Warner even more than ever. On to finally reading [boo..."Yeah, it's definitely one of the bigger character shift disappointments for me. I just hate being duped by authors, there's no need to make something overtly strong in one direction and then completely turn around the other way. SM wouldn't have been as brilliant if Adam hadn't been the incredible guy he was, but by doing that without the intention of him getting the girl...I felt cheated. Ah well, fiction is fiction.
Mod
. As much as I loved the first one, this one just is boring to me. I'm going to make myself fini..."I'm waiting until the next movie comes out before I decide if I want to read it. I've heard only negative things about this one, and for as long of a read as that one is I don't want to waste the time if it's just not good. Sorry the audio wasn't doing anything to make it bearable!
Mod
and was really disappointed by Adam blah which makes me love Warner even more than ever. On to finally re..."I agree!
Mod
and was really disappointed by Adam blah which makes me love Warner even more than ever. On to fina..."There should have been a stronger fight from him. Not what she made him to be. I felt like he just kind of let things get away from him, went from this strong soldier to a wuss. A totally different person than we were introduced to. Complete turn around and it was just not right.
Mod
and was really disappointed by Adam blah which makes me love Warner even more than eve..."Yeah, honestly I would have taken it better if he had died defending her or been killed in battle being the hero that he started out as. Why, oh WHY do authors feel the need to ruin great characters just to make the story bend the way they wanted it to?! Ugh, it's making me mad thinking about it. lol
Mod
and it was surprisingly deep and heart-wrenching. I went in expecting the typical Entangled-style contemp romance, but it was much better!
Katrina wrote: "Reading I just started it and cannot wait to see what twists and turns I'm going to hit every book in this series just leaves you guessing and wondering what the heck..."Love the Tv Show HATE the books. I can't stand the books because of how Sara just keeps writing them and there is no character growth they all keep doing things that A will find out and they act as though A will never find out. It's just annoying you'd think they'd grow up a bit.
Mod
and was really disappointed by Adam blah which makes me love Warner eve..."I've read almost half of the book and I seriously agree with you both, Erin and Brooke. I can't believe that Adam has turned out to be the terrible guy. I mean, I love Warner and his wicked ways, always have, but what she has done to Adam is very cruel indeed.
Mod

Mod
and was really disappointed by Adam blah which makes me love Warner eve..."Yeah, I agree. I guess it's artistic license. I might not like it, but they have to take the story where they feel it needs to go. I often hear authors talk about how their characters lead them. I can tell you from experience with my own MS that it's true. I had to write a chapter two different ways, I mean completely write it, so I could figure out where the character was taking me. My first instinct had been right, but I wasn't sure. I can be angry or disappointed in how a character acts or what they do, but in the long wrong, I can't really fault the author for needing to do it, even if it makes me not so happy.
Mod
back up. I've only read the first 6 chapters. I kno..."That would be fantastic! LOL!
Mod

Belkis - answer a question for me. How does KA make her men SO.FREAKING.HOT? I swear!! Tate is just as yummy as Max. This Colorado Mnt Series is amazeballs!

Yes RininTa I'm definitely going to read it this month for sure. I've moved it into my reading current reading shelf :)
Donna wrote: "Belkis wrote: "Donna wrote: "okay. Decided to start some KA - "WooHoo KA is always a great choice! I plan on reading this one this month too Donna. Really enjoyed..."
WooHoo!! Well Donna I dunno girl but I most certainly keep coming back for helpings so right there with you LOL! Can't wait to get to this one!! I really loved the first Colorado mountain and I've read tons of great things about book 2 so yeah totally going to follow your lead and get to this one this month. Honestly KA is freaking fantastic with so many great series to choose from and they're all so SO good. Right now I have like 4-5 of her series going and can't ever make up my mind as to which of them I wanna read next. It so hard to choose. Been dying DYING to start 2 of her PNR series Fantasyland & The Three but just can't start another new one until I finish at least one of the five I'm reading right now LOL!
Erin wrote: "Belkis wrote: "Okay so I finished late Tuesday night and loved it. It was very emotional. I cried through a lot of it, but so so very good. T..."Yes Erin, it's been days and I'm still thinking about both TFSoFiL & MBU :( both were such impacting reads in different yet somewhat similar ways. Both were emotionally draining and beautiful. I think that's why my next read took me a few days to get through.
So I finished
and it was really good. Will be moving onto book 2 for sure. Yay Marie Lu!
So
is next for me WOOHOO!!! Love this freaking series!!!
Belkis wrote: "So is next for me WOOHOO!!! Love this freaking series!!!"AAHHHH! I'm so behind on this series! I still need to read
& the novellas!! A great series tho. And this reminds me (for some reason), I need to finish
! Must keep reading... lol
