I see your point and though I never thought about that as a possible outcome - I like it. Just not sure how it could happen though. I suppose with SJM's awesome imagination she could make it work though

She makes thing work that spin my head. Every time I think there's just no way anyone is going to come out intact, she turns it around and I'm like, "CRAP! I didn't see that coming!" LOL!

TV!!! Yay!! So much better than film I think - there's too much pressure for movies to be massive blockbusters and they hardly ever get it right!

Shatter Me (Shatter Me, #1) by Tahereh Mafi has also been optioned for TV! Can't wait for both of these!! (Touch wood they both get made!)

AHHHH. That's amazing!!!! I can't wait for this to be made into a TV series. Way better than making it into a movie because the story is so layered they would cut too much if it was a movie. I just hope they don't deviate from the story too much like they did with GOT and True Blood. HBO ruined it for me. I'm hoping they stick to SJMs story.

And with a TV show, they will be able to include so many of the little things they have to dump for a film!!! MEEP! I heard about Shatter Me. That's been a while, I wonder if it's going anywhere.

YES!!! It's much better suited for TV. I didn't read GOT or True Blood (though I've watched the shows) so I can't know if it's different or not.

I loved the True Blood books. They were a million times better than the show (except the last book - awful end to a great series:(. The show was soooo different. The books were such a good mix of funny, and sexy.
I haven't read the GOT books either but my sister has. I guess they had to change it for the show because the TV show got produced faster than the books were written.

Brooke (thecovercontessa) | 4025 comments Mod
I am in the middle of Stitching Snow by R.C. Lewis and I like it. But, there is something about it that's bugging me and I cannot put my finger on it. More to do with the writing than anything else. I'm going to see it's kind of flat. Ok, not the writing exactly, but the main character. She feels like she has no depth to her? But it's still a good story, so I'm reading on. I didn't realize it was sci fi, so that's fun.

Bridget | 1517 comments Finished Out of Time (Nine Minutes, #2) by Beth Flynn and it was really, really good. I just hate that it ended on a cliffhanger. Ugh. How many books are there going to be?

And now I've started Treasured by Thursday (The Weekday Brides, #7) by Catherine Bybee . Love this series.

I felt the same way when I finished OoT too Bridget :/ seriously peeved eventhough I enjoyed it. First I thought book 1 was supposed to be a standalone but nope. Then I thought that book 2 would wrap it up. But again, NOPE. And then that cliffhanger ending!!?? Ugh! Very frustrating. Hopefully book 3 will be the end of the story because I really need to know how it ends already!

And yay! You're enjoying The Weekday Brides series too :) I need to read TbT too. Will try to get to it soon. Hope it's another good one.

Well I guess it's good that at least the story is good and the writing it decent Brooke. I'm looking forward to it and do enjoy a good Scifi.

I'm almost done. About 1/4 left. But I also started The Winner's Crime (The Winner's Trilogy, #2) by Marie Rutkoski , FINALLY. I saw my friend in the UK had just gotten it from the library and offered to buddy read with her, but she's way ahead of me so I need to catch up! LOL!

THAT was the plan! LOL! I'm so sick of waiting for series books to come out! I actually am going to challenge myself to finish a bunch of series next year. I have a whole shelf full of them!


message 22278: by MadameZelda (new)

MadameZelda I finished The Golden Lily (Bloodlines, #2) by Richelle Mead . Finally, I like Adrian. Seven books prior, I thought of him as a wino, chimney, and whore. I am taking a break from that series.

I have started book 2, The Source (Witching Savannah, #2) by J.D. Horn . Wow, is it getting complicated!


message 22279: by Sara (new)

Sara | 1037 comments Been reading Queen of Shadows (Throne of Glass, #4) by Sarah J. Maas since its release date. It's so good, life just doesn't want me to read and there is this stupid bubble witch that keeps distracting me. The joys of tablets.


message 22280: by Ashlee (new)

Ashlee | 309 comments Does anyone know, do I NEED to read The Iron Knight (The Iron Fey, #4) by Julie Kagawa before The Lost Prince (The Iron Fey Call of the Forgotten, #1) by Julie Kagawa ? Because I've been struggling with TIK for like a year now (I think it's the audio, the guy who does it has the most boring voice ever) but I like the look of TLP and am thinking maybe if I forge on with CotF series I might be able to go back and read TIK later?

There would be major spoilers for TIK if you didn't read it. But nothing that you would need to know to understand TLP as far as I can remember. But I would recommend reading Iron's Prophecy (The Iron Fey, #4.5) by Julie Kagawa .

message 22284: by Donna (new)

Donna | 1350 comments So I finished The Golden Dynasty (Fantasyland, #2) by Kristen Ashley and it was great. Dragged in a few places but I still laughed/cried/angst/etc. Great story. I dont know why I'm denying myself going onto Fantastical (Fantasyland, #3) by Kristen Ashley ... but I am. I started Beneath This Ink (Beneath, #2) by Meghan March last night but couldnt get into it. So it's been shelved. Now I started The Consequence of Revenge (Consequence, #2) by Rachel Van Dyken . I'll probably end up reading the next KA by the end of the day. ;)

Ive been doing the same with a lot of series also Brooke!! I havent started The Winner's Curse (The Winner's Trilogy, #1) by Marie Rutkoski The Winner's Crime (The Winner's Trilogy, #2) by Marie Rutkoski But I have them ready to go.

I was expressing my thoughts to the Hubby about TOG series (and possible TV show) and told him but I have another year then another year after that to find out if any of my thoughts about whats happenin actually happen *Sigh* Hubby says that a very long wait..... I agree and it is for a lot of series not just this one. Its also why I try to wait for most of a series to be out before I start it.

Like tonight I just started Crash (Crash, #1) by Nicole Williams Clash (Crash, #2) by Nicole Williams Crush (Crash, #3) by Nicole Williams Ive had these for some time now on Ebook and Audio. Ive read almost all of her other stuff so not sure why Ive waited so long for these.

Lol I have a bit of a love/hate thing going with series books and wait times! On the one hand I hate having to wait so long and love reading a series that's already completed and I can finish in one go...on the other hand I love the anticipation between books, all the theories being tossed up etc...and I love that feeling when the release date is approaching and you KNOW that an awesome book is about to come out! But then that feeling once you finish and realise there's another year+ for the next one totally sucks...
