YAY! Glad you enjoyed The Deal. I love Garret and Hannah! Cannot wait for Logan's story. Only 24 more days!

Started The Geography of You and Me by Jennifer E. Smith Thursday and finished today. Really enjoyed it. I did give it a 4 though b/c I feel like I needed more from the ending. It was a little too open for me.

Belkis (bminaya) | 8313 comments Okay I finished Queen of Abaddon by Heather Killough-Walden earlier today and it was a great ending to a fantastic trilogy. I love HKW's imagination. She's a very talented storyteller. I really enjoy reading her books. They're all so very different from one another and she just keeps mixing it up, I never know waht to expect from her and it's thrilling. The Chosen Soul is such a unique story. I highly recommend it if you're in the mood for an interesting PNR.

Belkis (bminaya) | 8313 comments Then I started Deception (Defiance, #2) by C.J. Redwine for our buddy read and I'm enjoying it so far. I also finished All the Stars Look Down by Elizabeth Hunter and loved it of course since EH wrote it and it was about Christmas with Gio & Bea from The Elemental Mysteries so YAY! I've also started Shadows and Gold (Elemental Legacy 0.5) by Elizabeth Hunter because again, EH and it's about Ben & Tenzin from The Elemental Mysteries, so hello LOL! I see a recurring theme here hahahaha! I just love all things EH :P

Okay, new must-read I have to share because I'm already a fan of this series but DAMN A Perfect Ten (Forbidden Men, #5) by Linda Kage was incredible! Had a little bit of everything-- the light-hearted Entangled romance fun drama, hot chemistry between lovable characters, favorites from the rest of the series, and then some unexpectedly heart-wrenching twists that had me crying...AT 3 AM BECAUSE I COULDN'T STOP READING!! Whew, I'm beat but on a major book high because Ten was just awesome.

Micah (sinvega) | 76 comments I am ashamed to admit this will be 2nd book this year I've read. I've gotten burned out on some crappy books last year and it killed my interest.

But I am back and hoping for the best with
Half Bad (Half Bad, #1) by Sally Green

I've read the first book, which I loved. I even think it was a recommendation of yours (surprise!). I have the 2nd book on my bookshelf... just need to get to it.

Tasha | 207 comments I finished Half Wild (The Half Bad Trilogy, #2) by Sally Green and Half Lies (The Half Bad Trilogy, #0.5) by Sally Green this morning, both were so good! I have to wait until March for Half Lost (The Half Bad Trilogy, #3) by Sally Green , doesn't even have a cover! :'(
Up next I shall be reading Proxy (Proxy, #1) by Alex London


message 17920: by Donna (new)

Donna | 1350 comments Finished Jake Undone (Jake, #1) by Penelope Ward late last night & it was good. My only beef was... well, isn't Celeste Watkins the only person allowed to NOT use contractions? ahem, it was kinda driving me nuts, which I think was totally unintentional by the author. Regardless, I really loved Jake & plan on reading Jake Understood (Jake, #2) by Penelope Ward shortly. Now I'm reading The Dark Highlander (Highlander, #5) by Karen Marie Moning & it is AMAZING! Holy cow KMM's highlander series is freaking awesome.

I want to red the Half Bad books so badly (hehehe pun intended LOL!) but I don't want to be stuck waiting on the release of another great series so I'm going to wait until all of the books are out before diving into this one Tasha but I'm so happy to hear that it's really a great story. Makes me even more excited to start it. Hopefully I can continue to hold off :)

Ugh! That bites, Proxy is another one I have lined up to read now that book 2 is out but if you say it fell flat for you then maybe I won't rush to get to them then Liam.

Belkis (bminaya) | 8313 comments Okay I finished Shadows and Gold (Elemental Legacy 0.5) by Elizabeth Hunter earlier today and of course really liked it and the fact that EH shared that she's coming out with a whole new Elemental Mysteries spin-off called The Elemental Legacies which will feature Ben as the main character has me jumping up and down with giddiness!!! Cannot wait! So many great future releases coming our way from EH. Now I'm a third of the way through Deception (Defiance, #2) by C.J. Redwine for our buddy read and it's picking up action so really enjoying it now. I'm also about to start The Mason List by S.D. Hendrickson for our weekly RC and so so excited because I've wanted to read this one since it came out so yay!

Hey, I was slumping. I needed this pick me up and it was just what the book doctor called for! I didn't even finish my beta read all the way through and had to send feedback at that point because I just wasn't into it. I have so many review reads to catch up on it's insane. So for me to pick this one up (and I'm on the blog tour so loving it was even more terrific) and read it practically in all one sitting is a MIRACLE.
You can thank me now...

Your opinion may differ of course but I was a diehard superfan of Proxy because it has a rare trait that you rarely see in YA.

It wasn't the 'worst' book or even an awful read. Proxy is one of my top 10 books with some amazing characters and I love how it is a modern day retelling of the whipping boy story with even more twists.

It's sequel however, was not for me anywhere near as great as the first book because it lacks a lot of the things I loved in book 1 and it also changed my outlook on my favorite character.

But I do recommend it still, as Book 1 was great!

Paula (littledarling2012) | 621 comments Just finished reading Monster in His Eyes (Monster in His Eyes, #1) by J.M. Darhower and thought it was really really bad. Ugh.

But I started on book two Torture to Her Soul (Monster in His Eyes, #2) by J.M. Darhower and am liking it better. Maybe because it's not from the POV of a woman who most likely has a single functioning brain cell.
