Lol! I know - it's just that there are so many books I want to read too! Maybe this weekend.

The Collector"UGH! See, I still haven't read The Collector and I hear that Dante's funny as heck LOL! Moving him into my ASAP shelf :)

Because I didn't go back to read Myst's book, WWF until I was done with Kaderyn & Sebastion's story which is book 3 :D since Amazon had A Hunger Like No Other was labeled as book 1 when I started reading them. And by that point I was a goner for this series.

It just needs to end, but now it's like we're back to square one, when book 5 actually could have left it all at a HEA and been over and done with. Bummed!!

Oh, there's definitely more, she's essentially blown everything out of the water that was set up in book 5 and started a whole new facet of the story that seemed out of left field. And the ending took them even farther away from a HEA, which really irked me. There are a lot of positive reviews, I just am at a loss with this and I feel really bad because Bella is such a sweet and appreciative author.
Erin wrote: "Bridget wrote: "Erin wrote: "Okay, so has anyone else read yet? I finished it over the weekend, and I'd love to bounce thoughts around with someone on this one..."Oh sad face, that bums me out too Erin. Now I just don't know then. Will have to wait it out and see what happens next I guess. Oh well....

Fallen is one of those series that you have to read but also drive you nuts with the lack of information, at least for me.

Fallen drove me bananas, if you are a "need to know" kind of reader, than you may want to turn back now...lol!

I actually enjoyed the Sweet books enough. I haven't read the last one yet, though I do have an ARC of it.

I did grit my teeth and push through the entire series.

One of my All Time top 10 Favorite books ever!I would also recommend
they have been compared many times and recently i finally got around to reading it. Its a very good story and very much like Sweet Gum Tree.I would say the story line was switched up a bit for SGT since it released after this one But although I really enjoyed the story I didnt have the all consuming emotional set I had for SGT. But it is worth a read especially for those looking for similar books like SGT!Lynn wrote: "Bridget wrote: "Oh yay!! This is one of my most favorite books ever!!

Yeah like Belkis explained Warlord Wants Forever was originally a short story in
and the story that inspired the series so yeah
was the first book I read also but felt like I was missing out on a joke when Myst is mentioned so thats how I found the original story So every book after explains and also has a summary of what is what in the Lore the further you get into the series.Danielle wrote: "So it totes didn't take me that long to finish

I've just added this to my to-read shelf. As well as my really-shouldn't-but-i-can't-help-it shelf. I'll sample it to see if I'm willing to take the plunge!
currently reading
and I really like it. Reading a book from the POV of a girl who was planning to commit suicide the day a zombie apocalypse breaks out; how can you NOT want to know where that will lead?
Well that really sucks for me and others that stopped till the series is finished. I stopped at #2 So its going to be awhile before I start them back up IF i ever do. I really hate when a series gets dragged out for no reason. Erin wrote: "Bridget wrote: "Erin wrote: "Okay, so has anyone else read

Erin wrote: "Bridget wrote: "Erin wrote: "Okay, so has anyone else read yet? I finished it over the weekend, and I'd love to bounce thoughts around with someone on this one..."This is why I actually haven't read it yet because it just seems like there's a ton of drama for drama's sake and it has stopped being a fun series to read and I think there will be a HEA eventually but not until a ton of things happen in between then which irks me.

GAH!!! to both of them reading
after I finish
another series i kept putting to the side.then

Yeah, she originally wasn't going to release it because it wasn't received well. I was surprised when I saw her post about it being released, so either she decided to just roll with it or she tweaked it a bit!

Mod
Yeah, I couldn't believe it was going on AGAIN. It really could have ended a few books ago, but book 5 really had the perfect ending spot and it was washed over! =/ I honestly think you'd tire of this one, which I hate to say.
Mod
Exactly! There should have just been a spin-off made or something!
Mod
Yep, I agree. It's unfortunate because this really was a favorite of mine! There are a lot of 4 and 5 star reviews up for it, so maybe it won't be a miss across the board.

Agreed Erin considering the books aint that long to start with and thats why I stopped the wait for a another short read even they are a few months apart is annoying!

It was really good. Heartbreaking to read, but awesome.
I think I'm going to start
FINALLY today. I'm not sure though - too emotional of a read during a trip? And

I stopped after book 2 too Belkis. I have 3, 4, 5 on standby once they are all done. I thought 6 was it. Erin, is there going to be more you think?
