I feel like I havent been on here in forever! But I have gotten some reading done. I finished
and didn't love it. I love all Abbi Gline's stuff, but this wasn't my favorite at all. The male lead, West, just bugged me. Oh well, I'm sure I'll love her next one. I also did a re-read of
because it had been over a year since I read it and I finally got around to reading the second one
. Such a great series. But, Gideon was really making me mad in the second one. I hope he resolves his problem before I start the third
tonight.

I just put my review up for that Glines book. I gave it a 2. I felt like it was made into a YA book. Like she just wrote what she normally would write for NA and then just took out all the sex and such. It was my second book by her. I tried to read The Vincent Boys, but I DNF'd. I guess she's just not for me.

LOVELOVELOVE IG! And Zack was great. Can't wait to get to Ryker.
Recently finished
and thought it was pretty good. It's book 15 of this series, and it was fine as a stand alone. Now I'm almost done with
, which is fairly good so far.

It was very good Teresa. For me I loved Me Before You more, but in this case I think it's a really hard story to upstage due to the emotional storyline. But that being said, After You had the same writing tone and the characters some continued from the first book and some new ones to this story, were well layered. I enjoyed it a lot. There wasn't any part that bored me and I zipped right through the audio with excitement and interest. I think the author did an outstanding job following up the first book given the ending. It felt realistic and gave me all the feels. A worthy 4 star read for me :)

Loved the Legend trilogy too :) I really like Marie Lu's writing. Can't wait for
to come out since I really enjoyed the first book
Brooke wrote: "Bridget wrote: "I feel like I havent been on here in forever! But I have gotten some reading done. I finished

Karen wrote: "I just finished

yet? I liked this one a lot as well and book 2
will be releasing this month.

You need to read it. Its a great ending to the series. Though I still feel it would have been good to have an epilogue set a few years down the track so we know what happened to the characters.
I've started
. She's just met Ignifex and Shade. All of the unexpressed anger towards her family was beginning to frustrate me. I just wanted to yell at her to tell her family how she really feels about them and the situation.

That's why audiobooks work so great for me because I can listen while I work and while I run around. Unfortunately not all books are available on audio.

Brooke wrote: "Bridget wrote: "I feel like I havent been on here in forever! But I have gotten some reading done. I finished

But I did read it several years ago. If I had read it today, I don't know that I would feel that way about it. Her NA series are some of my favs too. This may be the only book by her that I didn't love. Did you find West to be lacking? And the whole not talking thing just got on my nerves.

Hey everyone. i missed you guys so much. i know i haven't been very talkative the last month, i feel bad. I've been real busy and i didn't want to start a conversation i couldn't finish. i will update you and tell you though, ten minutes ago i just got done reading
. I'm completely in love with this series and i'm starting the fourth book
tomorrow.Now, has anyone read any of the books in this series? If yes, i would love to just sit for hours and talk to you about the characters and storyline.If you havent, then i suggest you read it like yesterday.
I finished
4 stars. Overall, I liked it. Very creepy read, more than I thought it was going to be! Those sirens were SCARY!

Thanks, Belkis. Yeah I would think that Me Before You would be a tough act to follow but I'm definitely gonna put After You on my TBR. So many books to read :)

For $12.99 ebook? Uh, nope.
Teresa wrote: "Anyone reading

I read some of the reviews and seeing how its pretty much the same book reimagining nah not gonna happen.I read some reviews that show its word for word Twilight but from different characters ? I just dont get why she would do this? Supposedly to "prove" Bella wasnt a whinny whimpy girl.I dunno I dont want to rune what started me reading again so not going to bother with this one and yeah that 12.99 is flippin crazy for an Ebook!

He was just a douche with issues. I put it down when he was about to make her put the BP in and wear it all day at work.... Yeah it just wasnt doing it for me,I didnt see it as Erotica I saw it as a rich Douche treating her like trash.

Uh does that book description say 'the "classic" novel Twilight'???? I am sure Jane Austen, Tolstoy and the Brontes would agree with that assessment...
And boy does Meyer know how to beat a dead horse...a reimagining of a book that has been in constant circulation for ten straight years??

I read somewhere that S. Meyers decided to switch up the genders because a lot of people didn't like Bella's damsel in distress character. I liked Twilight and Bella's character. I thought her clutzy awkwardness made her endearing.

yeah its pretty much the same book but their names are Beau and Edythe with the roles reversed ... I mean why? Why would she do this? I read some of the lines from a review and tey are word for word Twilight. So I guess she is writing her own Twiligt Fan-Fic LOL thats just sad!! SMH

I am not gonna read it, but if I did the fact that it is Twilight word for word wouldn't matter since I haven't read it. It would still be new to me. I just think the idea of a boy obsessed with a girl instead of a girl obsessed with a boy is something we don't see often.

Dont see often? Hrmm maybe not in YA but its everywhere in NA & Adult And for us fans that have read it, its a rip off especially at 12.99 for the Ebook!!
