I just finished
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
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.

Okay I'm still on my Songs of Submission marathon LOL! I finished
really good, I'm totally hooked. Moving onto
next :D

Bridget wrote: "Finishing up
and it's ok. I'm just not feeling it like I did the first two."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.

Yes, Belkis. Book 2 was really good. This one just lacked for me.

Okay then sticking to the plan and reading book 2 :)

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

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.
If you thought it interesting, I would recommend finishing it...the last 1/3 of the book was the best part!
Jenny wrote: "If you thought it interesting, I would recommend finishing it...the last 1/3 of the book was the best part!"OK - I really should. I was about 60% into it. I really WANTED it to be good lol.

I hate it when you can't connect to the MCs in a story. That kind of kills it for me too. I guess I won't be bothering to get to Black City.
