Soundless by Richelle Mead Its out and doesnt have the best reviews. I havent had a chance to get to it ye myself though,was one I was looking forward to release this year.

(OK ITS IS NOT OUT) but it does have reviews on it and they are BAD
mostly 2 stars

I thought Soundless had a November 10 release date? I have seen mixed reviews, some really bad 1 stars and DNF and other 4 and 5 stars...judging by the reviews I think this has more to do with the way the book was marketed and the reader's expectations than anything...its marketed as a fantasy but apparently reads more like dystopian...

Anyway I will reserve judgement until I've read it

That is what it says! I actually hadnt payed attention to the release date I was just adding TB (to Buy) Books on my Amazon and saw it already had reviews so I of course read on ..

http://www.amazon.com/Soundless-Riche...

Alot of them say its very YA others say its very romance heavy and not much story ... I actually dont plan to judge till I read it myself. I just know it has more 2 star reviews on it than anything else and I find that a bit worrying ...

Laura  (llbasaldua) | 790 comments Cant say Im loving the cover for The Glittering Court (The Glittering Court, #1) by Richelle Mead I really wish she would quit with the full frontal people images on the cover.... I dont mind side of the face and so on but full frontal I get the image of what I think the MC will look like and when I cant match them up in my head from the story it annoys me !! But thats just MO

Ahh yeah I was going by the GR reviews but I see what you mean, I didn't realise it was for younger readers. I don't mind books with younger protagonists as long as the plot is still engaging enough but if it's too juevenile I might not get too far into it...still, reserving judgement lol

Laura  (llbasaldua) | 790 comments Starting A Mad Zombie Party (White Rabbit Chronicles, #4) by Gena Showalter really loved this series so I hope this book wraps the story up good.

Has anyone read The Stars Never Rise (The Stars Never Rise #1) by Rachel Vincent It was another of this years releases I was looking forward too but of course havent gotten to it yet.

I bought TSNR and Our Lady of the Ice by Cassandra Rose Clarke the other day and am trying to decide which one I should read tonight! Come Sunday I'm starting NaNoWriMo so this is probably the last book I'll squeeze in for a while...except Winter, I'll take a break for Winter :)

77% into Garrett (Cold Fury Hockey, #2) by Sawyer Bennett and, while I'll finish it, I can't see it getting more than 3 stars. What happened when this author wrote this book? It's like a totally different person did this story! It's plot is thin and the direction it goes is SO predictable. BAH!

Oh I'm very excited over OLotI Ash. I loved this author's The Assassin's Curse by Cassandra Rose Clarke Pirate's Wish by Cassandra Rose Clarke and I still need to read The Mad Scientist's Daughter by Cassandra Rose Clarke which is another one I'm excited to read but somehow keep forgetting to get to it.

AWESOME!! I'm jealous that you're starting it! I'm in the middle of a few books - I'll never finish them if I start another right now. lol. Can't wait to hear how it is!


message 22968: by Donna (last edited Oct 30, 2015 04:37AM) (new)

Donna | 1350 comments Dark Prince (Dark, #1) by Christine Feehan was a DNF for me. I just couldn't do it, and was really surprised that the ratings were so high! I really struggled with the emo's in this books - I could never really grasp what they were feeling since it switched so quickly - like paragraph to paragraph. ugh. I wish I liked it since it's a pnr series... :( Started In Bed with a Highlander (McCabe Trilogy, #1) by Maya Banks and finishing up the 5th wave.

I love the Survivor's Club. Book 2 of the series isn't as great as book one but still really good. But book 1 in the series is my favorite book by Mary that I have read of hers. I hope you love it as much as I do when you get a chance to read them :)

I have 3 books of this series and am looking forward to getting to them but I might wait for all the books to be out before I start the series.

message 22972: by Christina (new)

Christina (batgirl39) | 2 comments I just finished Walk on Earth a Stranger (The Gold Seer, #1) by Rae Carson which was disappointing. Slow without much happening. It felt like the author was saving all of the action and conflict for book 2. I just started Court of Fives (Court of Fives, #1) by Kate Elliott and am having a bit of trouble getting into it (writing style seems a little basic).

Oh well good to know about DP Donna thanks so I'll not waste my time on it. And I really liked Maya Banks Highlander series when I read her Never Seduce a Scot (The Montgomerys and Armstrongs, #1) by Maya Banks I need to get back to the series as I enjoyed the first book a lot. And I'm also liking her KGI series as well The Darkest Hour (KGI, #1) by Maya Banks .

Belkis (bminaya) | 8313 comments Okay I finished The Void (Witching Savannah, #3) by J.D. Horn and wow! there was SO MUCH going on in this last book! Altogether a great trilogy.

This is why I have 3 books "ongoing." UGH! I think if I didn't have to work, and the kids still went to daycare, I could actually get some reading done! **sigh** If wishes could be true... Well, I'd still buy a ton of books and be behind! HAHAHAHA :) In the mean while, I'll just chug along and keep reading!

I'm glad to hear about The Void. I plan to get to it. I have a lot of series and I'm making the rounds to read one book in each of the series I have.

Paula (littledarling2012) | 621 comments Ladies, so sorry I've been MIA for so long. Life was crazy and busy and there was many things I needed to take care of.

But I still read whenever I could. I finished The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer (Mara Dyer, #1) by Michelle Hodkin and The Evolution of Mara Dyer (Mara Dyer, #2) by Michelle Hodkin . Totally loved it. What a fantastic series.

Just yesterday I finished the ARC of Waking Hearts (Cambio Springs, #3) by Elizabeth Hunter and as always Elizabeth Hunter totally delivers.

Now I'm reading A Madness So Discreet by Mindy McGinnis from the Owlcrate Subscription and My Time in the Affair by Stylo Fantome .

Thank you. I'm hanging in there. :)

You'll love EH's new book. It's amazing. As always.

And the Mara Dyer series...I could kick myself in the behind for not reading it sooner. I'm waiting for teh paperback of the third book to finally be delivered and then I'm locking myself in the room to read.

I had no idea what to expect from this. I really enjoyed it, though. It totally has a Sherlock Holmes feel to it!
