So nice to know there are other Rice fans out there, Tracy!

Oh no! Another series I need to read!!!! LOL... I've still not read any Cora Carmack. I guess I better get on the stick...

came from the fact that people loved the author's Throne of Glass series so much. But I've been realizing more and more that book hype is often generated by writers, publishers, etc. to get people to buy their books. Can't blame them for that. Trying to stand out in a sea of a million books is hard. And it's hard to figure out what you're going to wind up liking even if you go off of other people's reviews because people's tastes vary so widely.

. I like Pucked, but I like it as a stand alone and I don't know if I feel like reading more of the same.
Finished
and loved it as much as I did when I read it as a teenager. Now onto book 2

Mod

Ok, so I wasn't a huge fan of her first book, but the series definitely got better as it went on and I really enjoyed the second and third (the novellas were just meh for me). But the Rusk series. OMGOSH it's SOOOOOOO GOOD!!! GO GO GO!
Mod
a..."Hey, can't like every book, I guess. And, yes, I totally agree that the hype was because of ToG. BUT I know so many people who just LOVED this book. I guess I just wasn't one of them. ToG has so much action, this is a very slow build. Like painfully slow for me. Also, this was an earlier work of hers that the publisher picked up after ToG was published (and did well). So there's that. I do think the editing could have been so much tighter on this one, making it a bit less slow (and predictable). I'll still read the next one, though I'm not rushing to read it like I do the ToG series as they come out. I read QoT in a day (and it's 600+ pages!).
Brooke wrote: "Donna wrote: "Finished and liked it much better than . Will definitely finish this series. Now I can devote my t..."ugh... that's disappointing. Pucked was the best! I hope it picks up.

hahaha. Silas was pretty special. :D
Rachel wrote: "Brooke wrote: "Belkis wrote: "I finished and it was great. Really good trilogy overall. Now halfway through and liking it a lo..."Yep Rachel Cora Carmack's books are pretty good :)

You should read it soon Rachel :D Time's Divide was great.

Yup Tracy, The Chronos Files series is time-travel and it's really good.
Brooke wrote: "Belkis wrote: "I finished and it was great. Really good trilogy overall. Now halfway through and liking it a lot so far."ABD..."
It's very good so far Brooke. My heart is all gooey for Silas :)
Oh, I forgot! I did read
forever ago, but just felt so so about it. I'll have to give this series a shot :)

Mod
and I'm not loving Buck's narration, but perhaps it will change. There was one part in the first chapter that had me laughing so hard I couldn't breath..."I'm looking forward to this after FINALLY getting to Pucked! Hopefully it lives up to the first.
Mod

There are a ton of hockey romance novels so I'm not sure if this will wow me, but Pucked was unique enough that I'm hopeful! lol

Oh yeah Rachel Joy, you are not alone. Rice is one if my favorites.
Mod
for blog review and it was good. Musician romance story, and I can't say it was something entirely new and different, but I ended up really liking it. Up next is
, which I'm excited for because Elizabeth is always a fave and I really loved the first in this series!

Reading the Cold Fury Hockey books, absolutely loved

I finished
4 stars. This was not my fave Rick Riordan, but I still loved the book! It was a nice switch up to learn more about Norse Mythology, something a little different. I really liked the MC, Magnus, and his band of weirdo followers. The story wasn't as action packed as Percy Jackson, and didn't read quite as quick, but still a good read.
Mod
and it was great! Now super excited to start !!"YAY Silas! I have heard good things about the first Ivy book. I really need to get on that!

Halo.I just finished the Throne of Glass series. I really did like it but it was a bit frustrating at times. Waiting for the next book( not sure about what it is called though). xD

Also read [bookcover:Pucked|2..."Yeah Garrett was a little disappointing 'but I didn't hate it, there was just a lot of frustrating moments and I personally think lazy writing when it came to the 'complications' in the romance - also it was major Insta-love which always bugs me
I am glad I read it though because it set up everything for Zack's book - you can definitely read Zack without reading Garrett but I'm glad I had that set-up personally
Brooke wrote: "Donna wrote: "Brooke wrote: "Ash wrote: "Reading the Cold Fury Hockey books, absolutely loved , definitely my favourite so far! Also read which ..."LOL same here! I am not usually into contemporary romance but I'm loving the hockey theme, perfect for a sports junkie like me!
I just finished
and I'm kind of pissed off LOL! I enjoyed the read, was really into it...but her realities were changing so much at the end! And then it had a perfect ending until the LAST PAGE, when another huge twist happened and ruined it! Well, it didn't completely ruin it, but it did leave me hanging! HA! I honestly do not know what to rate this yet. I need to calm down first!

Mod
? I loved the first one so I'm excited to read this one.
