--- Meh series for me

as an ARC last year. I was not impressed at all. I wanted to maybe go back and read the other books, but at just 3 stars, I don't want to rush into that. I need something that will WOW me right now. Having trouble finding that!







ugh! I wish I could articulate my thoughts better. it was good but at the same time fell short of my expectations. that's the best I ca..."
i am glad i read it too. i kinda hoped it would be my get out of slump card. i will seek another of my favourite author and see what happens :P

Don't worry Brooke, this is info revealed in the first chapter of the first book
But re the extra wait: NOOOOOOOO!!!!!! Way too long!!!

Now on to


I'm always sad when a book doesn't have that option, and now they have the whole kindle/audible sync-up thing and I'm am SO loving that! I can go back and forth. I've gotten super awesome audios for like $1.99.
And I am SO excited because I found out Amazon is putting debut my audiobook into that same program where it syncs to the ebook. EEK! *I'm so scared to listen to it*
And being an an artist with deadlines, I would get NO reading done during my work spurts without them!


Oh, I so want to read this one! She's in a writer's group of mine and I've been seeing all the chatter and I've heard it's lovely!
Reading
and it's meh. I am about 25% in. If it doesn't get better I'll DNF and move on, again. This would be the third book I've DNF'd this week! Grrrr..... HELP ME!



Uhg…so frustrating. :/

I've been wanting to read The 5th Wave forever, it looks like a solid dystopian. Glad you loved Monstrumologist (that's a mouthful!), adding to the TBR!

@Laura
How sad is it that I've read
but didn't realize it until I saw my review, and it still doesn't ring a bell! I gave it 4 stars, you'd think something would stand out. =/

Yeah, I mean this one sounded really good so I'm not giving up hope. LOL Sometimes my standards are lower because I'm just looking for a fluff read, too. ;-)

It's definitely fluff. But it's just not grab me fluff. There's too much missing.

I was having that problem for a while too and it put me off NA rom for a bit.

Oh, I did not realise this. Are you saying that there's an app that you download on your kindle that will allow your kindle to read to you, somewhat like an audio book?

You need the kindle app so I'm not too sure it actually works on the actual kindle per say…edit, just done a search and there is a way that the actual kindle can read to you. I'll need to see if my Kindle Fire can. Ooh, this is exciting especially when I have to put the kindle down to cook or something.

This will make me seriously unhappy if it's true. That's a very long time.

It's all good :D I don't mind helping my fellow members out. Hope you can manage to get it working via the app. I will let you know if I was successful with my kindle. Would make life a whole lot easier if it EEEPPP exciting!

I saw someone say yesterday they use whisper sync with their kindle. I noticed some books on kindle unlimited say read or listen for free. Gack, who know. I just need some audio to give myself a break but am not paying for audible. I don't even know how that works

Maybe it's just not for me. I have DNF'd for now, but I may go back in at some point.

I know right :-)

I don't actually use this but I believe it only works if you have both an audible and kindle account - when you buy one or the other they will ask if you want to sinc (for a certain extra price) and then each app will save your spot so e.g if you listen to the first five chapters thee book will automatically open at chapter 5 and vice versa
Amazon owns both kindle and audible so I'm pretty sure this is the only way to do it


Ok I'm going to have to add this to my to read list :-)
