What Are You Reading? 2015



Yes I've wanted to get to book 2 forever, finally :)


Total LOVE!!"
Lol good to see such enthusiasm for it. I'd first seen it at the library when searching Veronica Roth, and for some stupid inexplicable reason was put off by their names being so close, as if it was her fault they had similar names, like she deliberately was trying to show up in veronica roth searches, and therefore never read it. I have no idea why my thought process was so ridiculous haha. Glad to finally be getting to it.
I'm reading a few books at the same time, but the one in my hand at the moment is The Maze Runner by James Dashner. I watched the film before reading the book which I don't usually do, so in my head I'm constantly comparing the two as I read. I'm only 42 pages in and it is ok so far.

I had a hard time with the first half of Maze Runner. I got more into the series starting with the 2nd book. books vs. movies is so hard sometimes. I always read the book first, but I sometimes wonder if i'd be able to enjoy the movies more if I saw them first since i'm fairly sure the book will always be better.
I'm working my way through Dashner's Mortality Doctrine series now. On a super long waitlist for

My son and I started this last week. I'm 2 chapters in he's 3. It's just ok for me so far. I am interested to see what happens, though.

Loved this book and need to get back to the series"
Oh yes Sylvia you totally need to get back to this one, the books just keep getting better and better, just fantastic!



Same for me Bridget, this past few days have been really rough so got very little reading done. My daughter had to be hospitalized with a viral infection on Friday morning and only got released this morning. Thank goodness she's better now but that was utterly scary as heck. I'm happy you loved Cress! I need to start reading the Calloway Sisters series. Soon, soon.

Thanks Tracy. That was terrifying for real. She's doing better though. Not 100% yet but on her way.

Sorry to hear about your daughter, Belkis. Hope she gets better soon.

Maybe it's just me, but I swear all of these series everyone says are Twilight knock-offs seem NOTHING like it to me! This series seemed nothing like Twilight and was so completely unique that it was really refreshing IMO. I'm the same as you, I'd read something even if it did remind me of Twilight since I loved that series, but I highly recommend this just because it's a great plot and has unforgettable characters.

Absolutely worth the wait, it'll fly by if you read a few smutty books in between! =)

I really liked the first book, but this one drove me BATTY! I couldn't stand the way it was so repetitive and just the never-ending cycle of her flipping the pages of time trying to figure out why she loved him. I mean, if it was true love she shouldn't have taken THAT long to convince, ya know??!

So
,
, and
were like a train wreck I couldn't take my eyes off of and not in a good way. The heroine drove me absolutely batty with her complete lack of spine, the storyline got all kinds of unbelievable and convoluted, and honestly the only real relationship between these two characters was a great sex life. I don't appear to be in the majority with that opinion, but I feel like I totally wasted three days of reading! Ugh.
So, it's on to
which I'm so excited about but hoping doesn't turn into a 5-way love story like the Premonition series, and
for review.



So, it's on to




Oh yeah. I agree. I've read a handful of books that people compare to Twilight and I'm like huh? Like Hush Hush - that was nothing like Twilight.


Also finished

Thanks Belkis, you can't have a good run all the time I guess. They weren't bad but just weren't great. I'm looking for great!! I'll have to think about what to read next.



Sa..."
Oh goodness, I hope your daughter's okay. Nothing worse than when one of your kids is sick.




Absolut..."
Haha I'm not really into smutty books but I have finally started The Lunar Chronicles so that should keep me going

I love ANYTHING Schwab writes. Her stories are totally unique!

Decided to start
and since I read the first book almost two years ago, I'm struggling just a bit to remember exactly who the characters are. But I do remember the story from the first book more or less, so it's coming back to me.
