Oh you know what Jenny, this one looked interesting but I hadn't heard too much excitement over it from readers but I'm going to grab it right now because the audio is on sale for $4.95! Running to grab it right now. Thanks Jenny :)

Hang in there Bridget. It was the same for me. I know EXACTLY where you are and I felt the same way when I was reading (well listening to the audio, and a brilliant audio it is!) but all will make sense soon just hang with it and keep going sweetie.

I know! When I got copies of the books for him and showed him he was like, "Really?" He was so surprised he was in the acknowledgements! And David signed all the books to him with great little messages! It's such a great series for kids, too!

Oh Jenny I love this series so much. Such unique stories and setting. I loved TSW as much as TBS. Did you read the novella that goes in between them This Night So Dark (Starbound, #1.5) by Amie Kaufman Jenny?

Holy molie Jenny, that's quite a lineup! I LOVED The Grisha trilogy. And The Starbound series is amazing. I so need to read the Mara Dyer trilogy and the For Darkness Shows the Stars books too. So many great books to look forward to reading. You had a good reading run since you enjoyed them all.

Me too - it was ok. I've heard Jet is even better. And lots about Rome. Someday I'll probably continue it.

message 20770: by Donna (new)

Donna | 1350 comments Just finished Married by Monday (The Weekday Brides, #2) by Catherine Bybee and it was meh for me. I'll continue with the series but maybe a break first. Still reading Fated (Dark Protectors, #1) by Rebecca Zanetti and it's an interesting twist to the pnr world but not the most riveting. Think i may supplement with something else.

Oh Bridget I really liked In The Band a lot. I can't believe I haven't read the rest of the books. When I read In the Band it was only that one book but the author has written like 3 more for the series and I have them sitting in my kindle of course but haven't found the time to read them. I hope you end up enjoying it too.

Yeah Donna The Weekday Brides is just an okay light romantic series. I prefer her Not Quite series too. I found it to be a little more interesting.

Yay!! Another Reyes fan :D so happy you enjoyed it Kelly. This series is a favorite with lots of us here. All of the books are just as good if not better. They keep up the momentum and the story gets more and more layered as they go.

Victoria | 259 comments just finished Cinder (The Lunar Chronicles, #1) by Marissa Meyer and starting Scarlet (The Lunar Chronicles, #2) by Marissa Meyer . I am really enjoying this series, I wish I would have started it sooner. I also just finished Girl Underwater by Claire Kells for my local library's Summer reading program and I really liked it too. A good start to Summer in the reading department for me..yay! :)

They get better and better as the story continues. I'm very excited over the release of the next and final book Winter (The Lunar Chronicles, #4) by Marissa Meyer

Got an ARC of Ricochet by Keri Lake and dove right in, it's very dark even for Keri. I'm enjoying it, but wow it's a doozy!

Cracked open Grey (Fifty Shades, #4) by E.L. James , 20% in and definitely preferring Christian's POV.
