message 20351: by Victoria (new)

Victoria | 259 comments I just finished Girl at War by Sara Nović which I really liked. My husband has family that came to America from Yugoslavia so it was interesting to read about the war and the culture. I am getting ready to read Cinder (The Lunar Chronicles, #1) by Marissa Meyer because my daughter participates in Battle of the Books and this book is listed on the middle school list for next year. I have heard good things, so I hope it is good and that we can enjoy it together.

Rachel Marks | 147 comments Okay, so I got a bit meh about Blur (Blur Trilogy #1) by Steven James and so I'm going to come back to it later. In the mean time I read half of The Consequence of Loving Colton (Consequence, #1) by Rachel Van Dyken this morning, and it's super light and fun, so that's a nice change. :D

The Raven Boys is such a beautifully written and intriguing story MadameZelda, I highly recommend them.

That's a shame about Blur Rachel, it looks interesting and thanks for the heads up on Loving Colton, I've been seeing it pop up so good to know it's a good read :)

Belkis (bminaya) | 8313 comments Okay I'm still on my Songs of Submission marathon LOL! I finished Jessica and Sharon (Songs of Submission, #3.5; Songs of Dominance, #1-2) by C.D. Reiss Control (Songs of Submission, #4) by C.D. Reiss Burn (Songs of Submission, #5) by C.D. Reiss really good, I'm totally hooked. Moving onto Resist (Songs of Submission, #6) by C.D. Reiss next :D

Shame Bridget, I really liked the first one. I guess book 2 is still a safe bet as many readers seemed to enjoy it so I'll be looking forward to that one at least, whenever I get to it that is lOL!

I really enjoyed the Waverley sisters too Jenny I read the first 2 I think a while back so I might need to do a reread or a listen on audio to get refreshed before getting to the others in the series. I do enjoy Sarah Addison Allen's writing. Oh and I'm so excited over the fact that David's Dwellers series is now releasing on audio so that I can finally get to the rest of them. I really enjoyed the first book but haven't found the time to read the rest so woohoo audiobooks rule!

Oh so it's to be continued then. Thanks for the heads-up Rebecca I'll keep it in my tbr for a little bit longer and not rush despite wanting to read it badly. There are just so many stories that we're waiting around for releases that I'd rather not add to the waiting craziness if at all possible. I'm so glad to hear you enjoyed it though :)

Yes Rachel I think I got the first couple for free a while back when they first released. They're really good! I hope you end-up enjoying them as much as I am.

I really loved this trilogy too but book 1 Angelfall will always be my favorite of the 3. The story is so funny! Love the banter between Penryn & Raffe. And OMG the crazy mother is a HOOT!

WOOT Belkis! I'm so excited they are in audiobook, too! I especially love that Julia Whelan is narrating Adele! LOVE her!

Jenny (juliababyjen) | 1075 comments Finished Black City (Black City, #1) by Elizabeth Richards which I have mixed feelings about. One one hand, I did mostly enjoy the read, and thought the story itself was interesting, loved the world building. But the 2 MCs...UGH. I started to like Ash, but by the end, I was so meh on him...never ever related to Natalie. And talk about the worst case of instalove I think I've ever read! The characters were just not developed enough, and I never felt their romance.

But, like I said, the story was interesting, and right now I'm leaning towards reading the sequel. I kind of want to find out what happens!

You did better than me. I agree, the premise and a lot of the story line were interesting. But I just couldn't finish it. It's still languishing on my 'maybe someday I'll get around to finishing it' shelf.


message 20378: by Jenny (new)

Jenny (juliababyjen) | 1075 comments If you thought it interesting, I would recommend finishing it...the last 1/3 of the book was the best part!

Well the end of book 2 definitely left me bawling. More for Claire than anyone else. (view spoiler)I think you should read on. Book 2 will break your heart but it gets much better in book 3 and in book 4 Jamie even gets to meet his daughter which is really sweet.

These Broken Stars is an amazing book. This Shattered World is just as great. I am still trying to pick which one I loved more.

Still reading Until Friday Night (The Field Party, #1) by Abbi Glines and it pissed me off b/c of a part I know a lot about as a nurse. The author obviously did not do her research. Also still reading Dirty Thoughts (Mechanics of Love, #1) by Megan Erickson and I'm liking it so far. Started Date with a Rockstar by Sarah Gagnon and I'm really liking it.
