. Loving it, but I'm about ready to strangle Imogen. She's causing so many more problems than there should be at this point.
Ugh....I've been MIA after reading a book that caused me the worst hangover ever.
. It totally broke me. Amazing book. Now I need something lighter...

I love Baojia so much, Natalie could be the most annoying person ever and I wouldn't care. Lol.

last night. I'm enthralled in this world once again. I have no idea why I waited so long to read Carwyn's story. He was always my favorite character."He's so perfect. I adore him.
Just read
this morning and jumping into
for my afternoon read. An awesome reading day! Followed by a date with the sexy hubby. Best. Day. Ever. ;)

Sorry I can't say it got any better. I kind of had to force myself to finish it. Margo was very self-absorbed.
I'm still reading
and objectively it is a great and funny book. But I'm in such a book funk after
that I can't really concentrate on the story. What do you do in a book funk?
Just finished
a school shooting at a high school. VERY GOOD!!!
I'm reading
. Don't get me wrong, I like this series, but it's really frustrating how little the author reveals. I get the need for some amount of suspense, but I'm starting to get frustrated. 4 books in and there's still so much readers don't get filled in on.

, and
on the ride. The first I really liked. The second, not so much.

on its way to me in the mail, and am really looking forward to it having heard so many good reviews.I hear what you're saying about the author not revealing much, but do you still think the series is worth it?
Finished
and now I'm reading
this series has really fallen off since the first three/four books.
Not a lot of reading time. I've been busy writing a book and started it's sequel, but I am SO excited for
in another week! I am still reading
but I'm making slow progress.
4.5 stars
LOVED this story! A very unique concept. It felt like a story from a few hundred years ago, but it was actually thousands of years in the future. The world building was incredible, as well as the plot and all the twists. And I LOVED the characters. This is one for history buffs, dystopian lovers, fantasy junkies...the works!
just finished
and it left me breathless. I'm a sucker for fairy tale retelling and this is one of the best I've ever read, if not the best, of Arabian Nights. If you're into these stories, this is truly a must read.
Mel wrote: "Finished and now I'm reading this series has really fallen off since the first three/four books."Yeah Mel. I think I quit that series after book 4 maybe. Loved how it started, but it just dragged on so much I couldn't deal with it anymore.
I finished
which was grisly and eye opening. Totally unexpected for me (through the eyes of a 17-year-old girl and the horrors of war). I am now concluding with

The series has gotten so meh and it used to be a must read for me. I'll eventually catch up on all of the books but I'm not in a rush.

Finished
and loved the first 2/3 but felt it got very cliched and and heavy-handed (something it had impressively avoided to that point) in the last 1/3. Anyone read the rest of this series? I'd love to know if I should go on or not.
Big day of releases! Excited for
and
(which only came out today in Aus)Currently halfway through
....I've picked up and put this book down so many times, but I'm determined to get through the last three TMI books before The Dark Artifices starts next year...I'm going to give that series the benefits of the doubt - hopefully without Clary and Jace it might actually be decent

and almost done! Loving it!

I'm reading
and enjoying it. It feels like its been really quiet in this group for awhile. I wonder if people are on their end of summer vacations.

Hope you enjoy them too!
I am very excited to be starting

Several of my friends have said the same. I want to like a story like this, the movie looks good...I just feel like Margo would come across as a self-absorbed bitch for me. Sorry it hasn't grabbed you yet, hope you end up liking it!
