Originally it was 150. I made that and more last year. But I changed it to 125 because there was no way I was making 150. I'm still 10 books off 125 and two weeks left. Unless I read a ton of 100 page novellas I don't think I'll make it.

After Jace's story, I feel it went downhill. I was excited about Stay With Me, but it didn't meet my expectations at all. Roxy's story was ok, but I don't think you'll find it any better than the one you just read. I was hoping Stephanie's story would be better. It was better for me than Roxy's, but still along the same lines as all the others.

Paula (littledarling2012) | 621 comments Finished Protection by S.A. Reid . It was a short one but so heart-achingly beautiful.
Started reading OC Me by Kristin Albright and so far it is really good.
But in all honesty, I'm still nowhere close to being over The Land of the Beautiful Dead by R. Lee Smith .

I finished my sample of Truthwitch (The Witchlands, #1) by Susan Dennard . Of course it ends just as it was getting good.
Still reading Shade Me by Jennifer Brown .
Also started Chasing Impossible by Katie McGarry because I thought it was short but it's almost 300 pages! Of course McGarry has sucked me right in!

Sara | 1037 comments Still reading After You, but I also started listening to Time's Divide (The Chronos Files, #3) by Rysa Walker to finish off the series.

I have this one on hold at the library Sara. Let me know if you like it. It will be hard to beat Me Before You, i think.

I changed mine to Erin. I knew there was no way to make it and i at least wanted to challenge myself with something obtainable.

Jenny (juliababyjen) | 1075 comments I can't remember the last time I did an update--but I'm in the middle of several books right now!

On audio-- Sea of Stars (Kricket, #2) by Amy A. Bartol which is so good!
In ebook-- The Year We Fell Down (The Ivy Years, #1) by Sarina Bowen This is my "Y" book for my ABC challenge, then I'll be done!
Library books-- Virginia Woolf by Nigel Nicolson --I wanted to read one more nonfiction book this year-- and Manners & Mutiny (Finishing School, #4) by Gail Carriger which is good so far!

MadameZelda I'm on two buddy reads Broken Wings (Hidden Wings, #2) by Cameo Renae and Daughter of Smoke & Bone (Daughter of Smoke & Bone, #1) by Laini Taylor . I am also reading Every Which Way But Dead (The Hollows, #3) by Kim Harrison on my own.

Angels, Demons, and witches!

Liking Chasing Impossible by Katie McGarry . I'm seeing people with ARCs of The Score (Off-Campus, #3) by Elle Kennedy and I will admit I am VERY jealous. I want this book so badly. It comes out January 11, so not much longer.


message 23769: by Nicole D. (new)

Nicole D. (thereadingrebel) | 969 comments read Coyote's Kiss (Supernatural, #8) by Christa Faust and gave it 3.5 stars. I was in the mood of FF and after DNF some Vampire Dairies FF because of totally going off character it was good to read FF were the author understood the characters.

also listened to A Murder Is Announced (Miss Marple, #5) by Agatha Christie . So amazing 5 stars.

also finished Under the Mistletoe by Mary Balogh 4 stars.

currently listening to Five Little Pigs (Hercule Poirot, #24) by Agatha Christie and reading Oblivion (Lux, #1.5) by Jennifer L. Armentrout

message 23772: by Paula (new)

Paula (littledarling2012) | 621 comments I just finished a YA novel that centers around the topic of OCD and I'm blown away. It was really good and really realistic. OC Me by Kristin Albright . I can recommend this one.

Now I'm starting Smother by Lindy Zart and am curious how I will like it.

I love the Daughter of Smoke and Bone Trilogy. I can't wait for the author's new book coming out next year.


message 23774: by MadameZelda (new)

MadameZelda I agree with you, Nicole D. The "Daughter of Smoke and Bone" has really caught my attention and I love the author's writing.

About 1/2 way through Shade Me by Jennifer Brown and while I will finish it, because I just can't DNF another book this year, it's really not great. The writing is not bad, but the story line is slow and a bit unbelievable/not realistic.


message 23776: by Sara (new)

Sara | 1037 comments Finished After You (Me Before You, #2) by Jojo Moyes and I think 3 stars. Not what I expected and one character I despised most the book. I am almost done with Time's Divide (The Chronos Files, #3) by Rysa Walker and enjoying it on audible. I hope by the end I understand all that happens because this time travel stuff is trippy. And I started The Impossible Knife of Memory by Laurie Halse Anderson which is good so far.


message 23777: by Nicole D. (new)

Nicole D. (thereadingrebel) | 969 comments finished Oblivion (Lux, #1.5) by Jennifer L. Armentrout well book 1 anyway. I loved it.

finally starting Winter (The Lunar Chronicles, #4) by Marissa Meyer :)

I need to read Oblivion. I'm worried I'll be bored with it since it's a retelling from Daemon's perspective.

Finished Shade Me by Jennifer Brown and I am not impressed. Probably a 2.5 from me. It was a bit of a struggle to get through it. And very unrealistic, to the point of ridiculousness. it's for a blog tour, so I'm not sure what to do about it. Just don't think my review will work to promote it. Starting Inked (Inked #1) by Eric Smith for a blog tour. Hope it's better.


message 23780: by Paula (new)

Paula (littledarling2012) | 621 comments Smother by Lindy Zart was a DNF at 35%. Couldn't keep my interest and trying to get invested into the story didn't work out.

Now starting On a Clear Winter Night (Irin Chronicles Book 4) by Elizabeth Hunter . That I know will not disappoint. Elizabeth Hunter never does. :D


message 23781: by Jenny (new)

Jenny (juliababyjen) | 1075 comments I finished Manners & Mutiny (Finishing School, #4) by Gail Carriger and while it wasn't my fave of the series, it still had lots of action and the spunky humor I love from this author. I was also very happy with the ending. Solid 4 star read!

I'm going to be starting Snow Like Ashes (Snow Like Ashes, #1) by Sara Raasch soon

I finished Do Not Disturb (Deanna Madden, #2) by A.R. Torre and it turned out better than I thought it would.


message 23783: by Sara (new)

Sara | 1037 comments So I got sidetracked and finished reading Cinder (The Lunar Chronicles, #1) by Marissa Meyer which i started ages ago but never finished. I enjoyed it. Now I'm still reading The Impossible Knife of Memory by Laurie Halse Anderson and I started a reread of The Light of Asteria (Kailmeyra Series Book 1) Volume 1 by Elizabeth Isaacs and will probably start Scarlet (The Lunar Chronicles, #2) by Marissa Meyer in the next few days, or after Christmas.

I think If You Dare (Deanna Madden, #3) by A.R. Torre is the best of the series.

Laura  (llbasaldua) | 790 comments I finished A Pound of Flesh (A Pound of Flesh, #1) by Sophie Jackson 3 star
Love and Always (A Pound of Flesh, #1.5) by Sophie Jackson 3 stars
Surviving Ice (Burying Water, #4) by K.A. Tucker 4 stars Sad the series ended :(
The Queen (The Original Sinners White Years, #4) by Tiffany Reisz 5 stars and again another series I will miss :(
Visions of Heat (Psy-Changeling, #2) by Nalini Singh 4 stars
Caressed by Ice (Psy-Changeling, #3) by Nalini Singh 3 stars
Mine to Possess (Psy-Changeling, #4) by Nalini Singh 4 stars

Soo I decided to go back and try Real (Real, #1) by Katy Evans and I just cant do it! Ive rolled my eyes and laughed soo many times and im not even 30 minutes in, I rated it a 1 star after reading so many reviews about what it deals with so I figured I'd give it a real try. Yeah still a 1 star.

So now I guess ill go on to Hostage to Pleasure (Psy-Changeling, #5) by Nalini Singh
Or maybe Ill give After You (Me Before You, #2) by Jojo Moyes a try.

Starting to read Falling Kingdoms by Morgan Rhodes to see what is the hype about this fantasy series although I'm kind of afraid I might not get into the high fantasy world built-up in the series. I hope I will enjoy it.

I refuse to start, LOL! There are still three more books to come out and I just can't get caught up in another series where I feel like I'm waiting forever for the next one. I am collecting them to binge when it's closer to the publication of the final book.
