I haven't been on here lately because we have been so busy and I have been reading some adult books for my book club. I am reading
because it is on the middle school battle of the books list for next year and my daughter participates in that, so I am trying to read them all ahead of her so that I know what she is reading and to screen it for content. So far it is o.k... a little slow, but I am only beginning. :)

I think I liked Hollow City even more than book 1. First book is a little slower until the children are present. I just think the concept of these is so original. I loved the use of the antique photographs, and that they fit it well with the storyline and didn't feel forced in their usage.
And I still just think it's awesome that Ransom Riggs and Tahereh Mafi are married. That's one talented household right there.

so far it's hilarious. I also started
and I'm enjoying it, but I also find myself skimming over the chapters in Assail and Xcor's POV. I really just want to know about the Brotherhood.

When Wrath's first book and of the series came out I swear it wasn't like this at all. What made her change it into more aspect of the brotherhood vs mating is beyond me.

You wrote the opening poem included in the book girl! It's signed with your name LOL!
Okay I finished
and it was awesome! I'm not sure which book I'll be starting next but it'll be one of these
so many choices!
Brooke wrote: "Belkis wrote: "Okay I can't remember if I posted this or not LOL! But I finished and end up liking it a lot. Then I jumped into which ..."Oh I have no doubts. I'm loving this story so much. Such a creative take on the time travel story. With the steam-punk and historical elements, simply fantastic! Will definitely be reading Riven soon!
Bridget wrote: "Reading so far it's hilarious. I also started and I'm enjoying it, but I also find myself skimming over the chapters in Assail and Xcor's P..."Yeah Bridget, The King had me confused in parts since both Wrath and his father Wrath had POV's ugh! I had to smack myself back and forth trying to keep the dedicated chapters for each of them straight. Plus, a lot of the back story for his father's time didn't really tickle my fancy. But I enjoyed it for the most part. And I so want to get to Pucked but sooo many books lined up for this month LOL! Hopefully I'll get to it :)
Mod

LOL! Oh yes, that was me! LOL! Thanks! It appears in Riven, as well. I'm published! Tee Hee! I thought you meant you loved my review! LOL!

I know! I'll be reading it soon of course I will, it's just that I don't usually get much reading time during weekdays or week nights. I usually plan on reading ebooks during the weekends.
Okay I'm totally addicted to the Virgin River series and need to what happens next so I dove into
hehehe.
Just finished
Wasn't totally thrilled with CARTER, but I read the whole thing by the pool yesterday. BOUNDARY CROSSED was amaze-ballz! And SOULFIRE was simple and sexy—I'd like to read the novel so I can get a bit more depth for that type of book, though. Felt a bit too surface in short form.
I just cracked
EEK! Love it so far! Super detailed!!!

What did you ladies think of that one?

I DNF'd Sincerely, Carter yesterday. I just could not bring myself to like it.

Brooke wrote: "Rachel wrote: "Brooke wrote: "Lynn wrote: "Brooke wrote: "I'm reading and I remember this author's writing being so much better. This book is just kind of..."I'm ready for a light fun read, so I think this one will be next. CARTER was a letdown. Just…meh :/
Rachel wrote: "Just finished Wasn't totally thrilled with CARTER, but I read the whole thing by the pool..."
EEEKKKPPP!! OMG Rachel!!! You're going to fall in love with the whole EM world, it's amazing characters, and EH's writing. She's just brilliant. I hope you end up falling in love :)

story. Really interesting.
Belkis wrote: "Rachel wrote: "Brooke wrote: "Lynn wrote: "Brooke wrote: "I'm reading and I remember this author's writing being so much better. This book is just kind of..."Oh good! That was the other one I was looking at! :) I'm so loving HIDDEN FIRE!!! Thank you SO much for the recommend!! :D Now I just need to figure out how find time to read it faster! I don't want to put it down! LOL... Damn the deadlines, I need to read! ;)
Sara wrote: "I just finished and WHOA! Now i need to read something happy and funny."Oh yay you were able to finish reading it Sara. I still need to find time to read this one. So far everyone's really loving it despite the sad parts.

Soulfire was awesome. I was a beta for her (she's a good friend). I love the whole Nightwing series. Morgan men are SMEXY!

Oh cool! I'm reading
as my next novella this weekend (I try and read a book and a novella every weekend). Those Morgan men are VERY smexy! They kind of remind me of the Vamps in J.R. Ward's series. Fun dialogue and memorable characters with loads of steamy!
Sorry I cant find the thread where I usually ask these kind of questions, but I know you folks are helpful. Does anyone know of any really great series that are immersed in the faery world? Not a series that just has faeries along with a lot of other beings, but books that take place almost as much or more in their world than ours? Like
. All three of those series are among my favourites. I have read Holly Black's fae series and enjoyed them too but not as much. I am probably lucky to have read 3 great fae series already and am getting greedy at this point, but I would love to read more!!

The only series I have read is Marr's and I see you have already read it.

I haven't read Ward. But I adore me the Morgan men.

How about these?

Thanks, I will take a look.
Danielle (Danniegurl) wrote: "Bridget wrote: "Reading so far it's hilarious.

Ward changed the writing style from the first few original BDB books from the more recent ones. I do have to say that after she dropped the focus on the Lesser storyline I've been enjoying the books much more. I don't mind the multiple POV's as long as the stories and characters are interesting. Some of the newer books have been fantastic.

Oh I'll need to checkout these Morgan men then Rachel :)

I will definitely be reading it eventually Tracy thanks!
Rachel wrote: "Belkis wrote: "Rachel wrote: "Brooke wrote: "Lynn wrote: "Brooke wrote: "I'm reading and I remember this author's writing being so much better. This book ..."You should try the audiobook for the Elemental Mysteries series Rachel if you like audiobooks. They were really cheap to add-on the audio if you bought the ebook on Amazon. I did that and plan on listening to them as my second reread of the series since I definitely plan on rereading it. I've heard from other readers that the narration is very well done. I love audios because with long work hours and all the running around I don't get to much actual reading time and audiobooks are perfect because you can listen to the books while you do stuff. But I'm SO HAPPY that you're loving this story because it's one of my all-time favorite series and top 5 authors. YAY!

Yes Rachel, I have heard lots of good things about Boundary Crossed I grabbed it too and have it sitting in my kindle to read so I'm happy you loved it too.
