I'm listening to Someone tell Aunt Tillie she's dead. It's pretty good. I've been listening to a few of these paranormal funnies lately.
Finished Castle of Sighs. Really enjoyed it. Wish it was longer. Started Compulsion. Only 1 chapter in so far but really love the writing.

Ahh Nicole I love P&R!!! I am a little the same, sometimes I need a good TV binge/book break and then I get back to reading...I've got a whole season of GoT waiting for my next Bing sesh :)
Wow, its been a while since I've actually updated in here. Hello Everyone! The book I'm currently reading is
which I really loved and plan to read more by this author. The writing was a little weak in some areas but the story and characters were amazing and as this was only her second book I have high hopes for her.rereading
and about half way throw. I am doing a reread of the Lunar Chronicles before Winter comes out in November.

Oh wow, sounds like it was wrong on all fronts! Not worth pushing through something that far off base, for sure.

Kate has motivated me to do a re-read of
, which I've wanted to do for a long time but couldn't fit in with my review reads. I've cut back drastically on them at this point, so I'm making room! =)
Just finished
and it was a perfect finish to another awesome Quinn series. Tortured bad boy and sweet girl turned tough to get what she wants, what's not to love?!
Next up for me (other than my re-read!!) is

I really liked the Shade of Vampire series up until around book 6. It's unique, the characters are awesome, and it's just great world-building. But she just kept going and going and going and I didn't like the direction it went. I'd be interested in hearing what you think if you end up reading on in this one!

I started
this morning and Ive lost track so many times. SIX POVs is a bit much and Im having a hard time getting into the story. Right before I realized that it was on my Audible list I was listening to
Not sure if thats why Im having trouble getting into it but maybe. So Im going to leave it be a day or so and try again.Guess Ill be listing too

Just about to start SoC and notice there are like a kajillion narrators...are all six POVs in first person? That's ridiculous if so...I sometimes have trouble keeping track of two alternating firsts!!
Finished
and
and loved LOVED this series! With it being adult fantasy I was expecting something a little different, but I actually found it refreshing how un-angsty it was if that makes sense...looking forward to the next one now!
Okay I just answered my own question -
is third person limited but appears to be divided into POV chapters like GoT and Falling Kingdoms....why the audio needs SEVEN different narrators for this I have no idea - the guy who does FK manages to do a pretty decent job by himself...the GoT guy is kind of creepy lol
Ash wrote: "Okay I just answered my own question -

But seriously I got to 75% after starting it at 9am yesterday morning (its now 3am) wit my audible listening speed set on 1.30 Ive restarted a few chapters and zoned out on a few so yeah I lost track of what was going on a few to many times.Time to set it aside and move on.
I see its gotten some aweosme ratings but Ive also seen that same people are having the same issue with the book as me.

I know exactly what you mean!! I love this series and maybe thats why I loved it soo much! I first thought there was going to be a triangle with Meg,Simon and Vladimir.

I think I'm going to have the same problem as you Laura - a couple of different voices for alternating first is okay, but this is too many and it's already taking me out of the story. I'm going to give the ebook a go instead! The story itself seems really intriguing but the constant change of narrator will drive me insane!
Ash wrote: "Laura wrote: "Ash wrote: "Okay I just answered my own question -

Its rather good but all the alternating character POVs is a bit crazy! I didnt buy the ebook I just preordered the Audio so Im just going to set it aside for a bit Since I was listening to Night Circus Prior to starting it that could also be the reason. Im going to finish Night circus and then maybe something less all consuming of my attention and give it another go then.

Absolutely agree Ash. This series is so refreshing and unexpected. I can't say enough great things about it and recommend it to all fantasy & paranormal lovers alike. So glad you liked it as much as I did :)
Laura wrote: "Ash wrote: "Laura wrote: "Ash wrote: "Okay I just answered my own question -

Will have to read/listen to it together so I can stay on track as I do like this author's writing and am very excited to start this new one but maybe I'll start it over the weekend so I can focus on it uninterrupted.
Ash wrote: "Laura wrote: "Ash wrote: "Okay I just answered my own question -

Ash wrote: "Okay I just answered my own question -

Belkis wrote: "Ash wrote: "Laura wrote: "Ash wrote: "Okay I just answered my own question -

Anyway I'm sticking with audio for the moment, I can't afford the 12.95 for the ebook lol

I really enjoyed A Shade Of Vampire and the second book too - can't even remember the name it's been so long - but I shelved the rest of the books as they released in the hopes of continuing on with the series once all the book were out. But alas, she jsut kept going and going and going BLAH! Hate it when authors just extend a series for the sake of adding more book and money to the bottom line. And from the reviews for and comments from readers the later books just kept dragging out the angst UGH! What a shame. The first book was so good and the story had such potential. Oh well. Whatever. I think the first series ran something like 8-10 books and then she added a spinoff and it's up to like 14 books or something LOL! Yup, never got back to it and don't reckon I'm going to either :P
