If you thought it was boring I know I will. Sometimes I think I have the attention span of a five year old.

I felt like each book in the series had the exact same story line as the others. The only real difference was she's a "pretty" in the second and a "special" in the third. I remember feeling like I had just read the same book 3 times.

Just didn't look like something I'd like to read and thank goodness I didn't. I would've been bored stupid LOL!
Teresa wrote: "Belkis wrote: "Okay so I finally finished and regretfully it never improved much. Such a wasted opportunity.

The characters were really well done and the story is somewhat interesting, it's just felt soooooo slowwww and sort of lack-luster you know??
Rachel wrote: "Belkis wrote: "Okay so I finally finished and regretfully it never improved much. Such a wasted opportunity. I felt like all of the right components were ..."Yep Rachel, real bummer and at 492 pages? Ugh!
Mod
finishing up this one, it came out today. Started
. It's a novella and I'm already 1/2 way done, so probably will finish it today, as well. Also started
which is just ok so far. I'm not in love with the MC. Still trying to read
which is just meh for me.
Nicole wrote: "Kelly wrote: "Just finished listening to , which was good but probably would have been great had I read the books in the right order - woops, and readi..."Okay thanks! I'd picked it up not realizing the library only had the 1st book, so based on the feedback, don't think i'll be splurging to pick up the others.
Finished
, and in case the like 1 day turnaround wasn't indication enough, I love it. and all I have to say is it's about damn time Sydney! Now starting
Mod
and it was a fun paranormal mystery. Really enjoyable.
Mod
"Hope you like this one better than Brooke, I'm still on the fence with whether or not to start it. =/"
I did like it..."
Glad to hear it! And I know not every book will be a favorite, so as long as it's not a DNF for me I won't regret buying. =)
Mod
This holds most of my summer TBR, probably a lot of fall too!"
Oh that's awesome!! Props to the hubs, he deserves some extra non-reading time from you. LOL
Mod
series? I'm newly addicted to the tv series and decided to look ahead..."Okay, I'm taking your word for it! =) I wish I didn't get quite so invested in the characters some times, it makes it hard for me to enjoy books that I know would be great, but make me mad because of choices the author makes. But I can't resist more of Jamie, he just does things to me...*wipes drool*
Mod
was so-so, but as I went to write up my blog review I realized the author has pulled the book and isn't finishing the series...complete waste of my time, then! Finished
which was completely predictable but for my meh mood it served the purpose of being a decent cheesy romance.
was better, I really enjoyed this one (thankfully!). Then I flew through
, completely on a whim because it's out of order for the series but I just grabbed it off the shelf and it was perrrrrfect for what I needed! Now I'm grabbing up
and
just to finally get to them before I start
!
I am enjoying
, book 1 of 3. Very witty writing that I'm smiling/chuckling. She's a 19-year-old nerd with confidence issues.

I love the Bloodlines series.

Well I'm enjoying
about a third of the way through it. Also almost done with
which is good so far. Then I think I will be jumping into
and continuing with
but not sure in which order :)
Mod
and
yesterday. Both got 3s from me. Ericsson likes to write in 3rd person and I find it hard to connect to her characters, to be honest. As for the JLA story, well, it was typical JLA for me :)
MadameZelda wrote: "I am enjoying , book 1 of 3. Very witty writing that I'm smiling/chuckling. She's a 19-year-old nerd with confidence issues."Oh this one looks good! I love clever romance!!
Belkis wrote: "Well I'm enjoying about a third of the way through it. Also almost done with which is good so far. Then I think I will be jumping i..."Oh, I'm super curious about
!! I've heard so many conflicting opinions. Can't wait to hear what you think, Belikis!

HAHAHA! I've already taken care of that ;)
Erin wrote: "Teresa wrote: "Erin wrote: "Teresa wrote: "Erin wrote: "Teresa wrote: "Erin wrote: "Has anyone read the Outlander series? I'm newly addicted to the tv series and decide..."Oh yeah, Jamie is amazing. Every time I read the books I picture the guy who plays him on the show who is beyond gorgeous. He was really the perfect choice. Claire not as much because her character in the book is supposed to have brown eyes, not blue.
I'm in a reading rut again. I picked up a few things but couldn't get into them. I'm on hold for
at the library so hopefully that comes through. I also have
checked out so I may start that.
I've been MIA for awhile - and the reading has been going slow. I finished
which was ok. Definitely not as good as KMM's highlanders but still good. Then, stupid me, I started
late last night aaannnnnddddd stayed up until the wee hours of the morning reading. Dammit - I know better than to start a KA book at 11 at night. Anyhow, I'm sleepy and have many hours left in the day. Definitely a coffee day.
Teresa wrote: "I'm in a reading rut again. I picked up a few things but couldn't get into them. I'm on hold for at the library so hopefully that comes through. I also..."OH, I've heard awesome things about
!!! I totally forgot about it because I'm so behind on my Holly Black stack.

Rachel wrote: "Teresa wrote: "I'm in a reading rut again. I picked up a few things but couldn't get into them. I'm on hold for at the library so hopefully that comes ..."Dang it! I totally forgot about
too Rachel :( I need to move this one up my tbr. Sigh. Too many good ones to get to. Oh well it could be worse I guess and not have too many good ones to get to LOL!
Donna wrote: "I've been MIA for awhile - and the reading has been going slow. I finished which was ok. Definitely not as good as KMM's highlanders but still good. Then, stupid me..."LOL! Yup Donna, KA is definitely not an author you want to start reading at 11pm especially since her books are addicting and super long :P
I finished
earlier and it was good. Now I'm about a third way through
and halfway done with
both are good so far. Next up
:)

Dang. I'm sure I'll get around to it. Is it too much to ask for another like the first couple Obsisian or the Covenant books?
Erin wrote: "I've been kind of blah the past few weeks so I've been losing myself in some books that were either on my blog review list forever or just on my TBR too long. ..."McReive was awesome wasn't it?
Almost halfway through the audio of
and it is so very good. It kind of reminds me of
(minus Perry unfortunately) Read
liked it, so now onto
. Catherine Bybee is great if anyone hasn't read her. She writes easy, predictable romances, but they're great for filler or pick me up books.
Bridget wrote: "Almost halfway through the audio of and it is so very good. It kind of reminds me of (minus Perry unfortunately) Rea..."Ok I added that first one to my wish list :-)

I just think that she's writing so fast and so much it's not possible for it to be more than it is.

Yeah, youre probably right. I'm still holding out hope for that next great one from her though.
I just finished my 100th book of the year!
Reading
and OMG, I love it so much. I really would love to sin with Father Bell. ;-)
I've been focusing on series for the last month and a half, so now I'm reading
Belkis wrote: "Okay so I finally finished and regretfully it never improved much. Such a wasted opportunity. I felt like all of the right components were there but the e..."Oh I hate that. I always feel like I need to finish a book too once I've started it.
Mod
. How was it? Same JLA?"Finished it last night. Yep, pretty much the same..."
The next one in the Wait For You series? because I wasn't too impressed with the last one. Actually, I wasn't too impressed with the last two. And she's also putting out the book from Daemon's POV. We shall see how that goes over. She has a huge fan base, though. So they will always do well.
Mod
? he he...
Bridget wrote: "Almost halfway through the audio of and it is so very good. It kind of reminds me of (minus Perry unfortunately) Rea..."I do enjoy Catherine Bybee's writing a lot Bridget. I like that her books are nice light, feel good romances. I think I've read all of her series at this point :)
Brooke wrote: "Ok, who is jumping into ? he he..."WooHoo!! I grabbed this one too Brooke of course LOL! Let us know what you think please :P
Nicole wrote: "Belkis wrote: "Okay so I finally finished and regretfully it never improved much. Such a wasted opportunity. I felt like all of the right components were ..."Sadly yes Nicole :( once we're invested we hold out hope that it'll improve you know?? Oh well, different strokes and all that so maybe this one just wasn't for me.
Paula wrote: "Reading and OMG, I love it so much. I really would love to sin with Father Bell. ;-)"OMG!! Okay Paula, I NEED TO READ THIS ONE!! LOL! I feel another Soren/Siren read coming my way EEEKKKPPP!!! Running to check this one out!
