What Are You Reading? 2015
Mod
I wrapped up a book that was great for my reading rut last week,
was perfectly dirty and different and a bit twisted...had me glued! Think military spacecraft storyline with a BDSM twist, I loved it. Reading
now, still enjoying this series of course since it's my girl Lee.

How exciting!! That's so much fun!
Finished
and loved it. I'm thinking of finishing up
or maybe a book with more adventure and action...
Mod
Was Mickingjay good? Hunger Games has been on tv a lit the last few days.
I agree Erin, we have the best group.

That's pretty cool Teresa.
Mod
I haven't actually READ anything in a we hile Brooke. I have listened though.

Ok I'm finishing it. I'm mixing it with a little
I don't even know how I'm gonna do this - I can't even find time to update on GR! - but I'm starting SWEET RUIN!! Eeeeekkkkkkk!!

Yeah, her kids go to school with mine. She's given me a few pointers on publishing and marketing too, so that's always nice.
I'm reading
and am loving this series. I have
queued up next
Started
- about halfway through - it's o-kkkaaaayyyy .... I mean it's KC so of course it's going to be good, but compared to the rest of IAD it's firmly 3 stars so far. I was worried before I even started about the fact the MCs are people we've never heard of before, and yeah they're just not clicking for me...it's also missing a lot of the humour and adventure I've loved so much in this series...BUT I am only halfway through, hopefully it will pick up!!
I finished
LOVED this fantasy! I thought it was ten times better than the Grisha trilogy, which I did like, but this had so much more depth, AMAZING characters, and fantastic world building! This is one of my most favorite fantasies! Just as good as Throne of Glass, IMO! 5 epic stars!

A lot of people didnt like the last few books because the characters are not front line characters but I knew that was going to be happening when she finished Lothaire and decided to write on his Family/their mates So I wasnt surprised by it and I am yet to find any of her books that I didnt like so far all of the IAD have all been 5 stars from me!
Laura wrote: "Ash wrote: "Started - about halfway through - it's o-kkkaaaayyyy .... I mean it's KC so of course it's going to be good, but compared to the rest of IAD it's firmly ..."Yep solid 5 for me as well - I actually really loved the last few books! I have no problem with KC moving away from 'frontline' characters, there are only so many Valkyrie and Wroth brothers out there, but there are still SO MANY awesome minor characters we've crossed paths with that deserve their own story (I'm sure their time will come but damn it, I'm impatient!)
But honestly, it's not so much that we haven't met these characters before - as I said, it just seems to be missing that element of adventure that I've come to expect in IAD - I still have half the book to read, though, so I'm sure it will pick up :)
Ash wrote: "Laura wrote: "Ash wrote: "Started - about halfway through - it's o-kkkaaaayyyy ....

I've read KCs blog re: why she wrote this book and get it - so she could introduce new characters that are pivotal to the rest of the overall story. Without them, I feel as though the series would stall out.
Ash wrote: "Laura wrote: "Ash wrote: "Started - about halfway through - it's o-kkkaaaayyyy .... I mean it's KC so of course it's going to be good, but compared to the rest of IA..."For me it hasn't been that she's moving away from frontline characters.
It's been more issues with the stories being so overly formulaic and that the women having been getting trampled on. I miss it when the ladies gave as hard as the got.
I finished
late last night. I gave it 5 but its bothering me. Now I'm starting

and am exhausted. That BOOK! Very good, but damn, the feelz. I think I'm going to have to read some fluff next. Time to whip out the funny stack. Who has suggestions? Something like

- it's bound to be good. ;) Can't get enough of Drew, right? or even

Brooke wrote: "I've read two chapters of a book since Friday. GAH!"I've been the same the past couple months, Brooke. Either I'll be crazy busy and have no time for reading, or I'll just be blah and have no desire to read anything.
Teresa wrote: "I'm reading and am loving this series. I have queued up next"I loved The Runaway King. I just listened to it on audio a couple months back.

. So far it's super funny.
So I've started
and I'm about 50 pages in. So far its EXACTLY the same as Twilight, almost word for word, except all the names and genders have changed. Which just confuses me. I'm going to try to stick with it, mostly because of curiosity, but I'm feeling like DNF right now. Unless something dramatic changes, I'm kind of feeling like this was a big rip off by the author.I also started a biography
which is really good so far. I know almost nothing about this writer, and I haven't read any of her books, but I want to, and I do like to know more about the writer when reading :)
Mod
I know what you're saying Brooke. I NEVER have time to actually read. I don't know what I would do without my audiobooks. I would have to quit my job....hmmmm...that doesn't sound so bad. The problem with that is my kid likes to eat :(

Oh good Sara. Let me know what you think when you're done.

Hopefully you will find the time Donna but I know what you're saying. Sweet Ruin was pretty good.

Definitely worth reading if you like fantasy and interesting characters! Best of all--no instalove or love triangles!

Rachel wrote: "I will start in the next day or two. I loved ! What a beautiful book!"Oh this is one of my all time favourite series!!! I think books 2 and 3 are even better than the first one! Can't wait for The Last Hours! (Just wish I'd stop aging while I waited for the books to come out! Really don't want to wish my life away lol)

Shes been posting WHY she is bringing these other "unknown" characters in So I get it and Im fine with it. I dont think everyone reads these things so yeah they need to complain ...
Ash wrote: "Laura wrote: "Ash wrote: "Started - about halfway through - it's o-kkkaaaayyyy ....

I just cant Im just seriously such a fan girl when it comes to her & a new book that I just cant complain. LOL
Now had she made some crucial mess up in the series plot line (which Im totally starting to get now) then I would complain but I think she has done a dang good job considering this is book #15 and still make me as giddy as the first books of hers I read did. Ok maybe not that good but very very close :) And she has kept the story going little things/ big things unfold and keep the story going. I wish I could say that about other Authors but I surely know I cant.

She just wanted to do a "gender bent" - which it really isnt - story because of how Fans complained Bella was such a wimpy whiny bumbling idiot! So she wanted to do it with the guy being that way ... Blah boring and seriously wrong! Just another way to make Money especially with the ebook at $12 and also the Hardcover is $16 seriously!! Anyways I already posted this complaint when it released so yeah Ive already done my rant But sooo Glad for the people that did post that it was the exact same book so I didnt end up wasting $$ on it!

Its one of the reasons I love the series so much,the Women are as tough or tougher than their men and dont need them to keep them safe. and they are flippin hilarious! I know a few have been in bad situations but Im pretty sure they always end up stronger than they were by the end of the book.
I'm just about done with
:( of course its a 5 star from me!!Then Im going to finish up
It took me a bit to get into this one but after about 15% of the Audio I was finally able to get past it (after THREE tries) and get into the story.then
is on board after that. Then I am going into hibernation until
