43% into
and it just doesn't seem to be holding my interest. I should know the plot, I don't. I should see something happening between these two characters (besides all this heat she feels when they touch), I really don't. I just read a chapter where I thought there would be a breakthrough, there wasn't. I give it to 50% and then I will probably be done. I hate to DNF, b/c I feel like I've done it so much this year. I don't know why I'm so picky lately!



Ugh! I'm sorry, that sucks Brooke :( it's probably not you because if nothing noteworthy has happened in a story by 50% of the book, then I'm sorry but no. Just no. unfortunately I hate when we get stuck with a dull book. We feel so cheated!



I just got

At the moment I paused




Bummer :/




If it helps. I just finished it and loved it!
52% into it and I think I have to give up. Chatting with a friend who finished it and pushed herself to do so.

That sucks Brooke sorry. Hopefully you're next read will be a good one.



Oh yay Rachel, I started

GAH! I hope so. I will read another chapter or two, but it doesn't seem promising if my friend said she pushed herself. If I don't DNF, then my rating will be low, probably not more than 2.5.

I read another book by that author and loved it. The problem is life is so crazy these days that I can only read in short bursts which makes getting into a book harder. Maybe tonight after the kids are asleep.



Sorry you're not digging Rock Chick, Rachel. This is one of my fav series ever.


DNF'd
at about 60%. I just could not do it anymore. Started
and I'm really liking it. Not surprised since I really enjoyed






I can't wait for book 3 in The Taking series Brooke, it's so good. You'll have a good read for sure after that terrible read you DFN'd.

Yes, I can already tell I love it. I'm 30% in and there's lots of action. I'm so curious to see what's going on. At least I already have an idea of the plot, I still didn't know the plot from the other book and I was 60% in.

Don't you hate that??!! When YA stories get laden with some much drama-filled teenage over the top BS angst! Ugh! I mean come on! And I had my suspicions that that was the case with this particular book when I read the book blurb, but still. And it has such high ratings! Thanks for confirming that my gut instincts on this one were right on queue Tiana.




Same here, Belkis. I've read so many that have just been okay lately. I'm ready for the next great one! I think I'll go with my fav go-to author when I'm in a slump and start



Oh good choice! You can't go wrong with Samantha Young.


I know right?! She's fantastic and this series is wonderful :)


Oh yes Bridget you can't go wrong with KA!


Oh I really loved this book Kelly. Such an interesting concept. The author is releasing a second book for this story






I am now reading

ooo - I' ve been wanting to read TC. Hope it's good.


Oh Bridget - I was thinking of starting LM... Gotta love KA - I swear, she's got to be one of my top 5 faves.





Yeah Kelly I can see that, there was a lot going on in the story but I guess because of the premise of the main character I didn't mind it as much. I'm hoping that book 2 brings newness to the story. I'll wait to see what readers say as far as reviews and rating before deciding whether or not to dive into it or not.

See, this is why I won't read it. I was bored with the second book and pushed myself to finish. I never read the last book. I don't think I'd be happy with this since I've heard it's really just a rehashing of the first book, without anything new. And some of the quotes I've seen from it are sketchy at best. So I will pass. But there are people who really liked it.
