Oh yes, you have to Brooke! They are INCREDIBLE! But we're still waiting for the final book :)

David wrote: "I just finished and loved it! Suzanne Collins is awesome :) Now I'm loving me some O..."I LOVE Gregor! Some of them are better than others, but I like fantasy better than dystopia, so I like Gregor better than Hunger Games. I remember the first book made me laugh out loud and cry. I was so impressed that I could be so moved, those are usually the books that I rate with 5 stars.
Enjoy Odd, I've read 3 and I like them! I need to get back to them.
Finished
it was excellent, I mean compared to the previous 2 books. That being said I am hesitant to go forward, at least right now, with
because I hear the book makes you very very angry, and has a cliff hanger ending, luckily though I believe the book after that is out so it wouldn't be too difficult to dive right in I'm just not sure if I am ready for the emotional upheaval lol. I also started my R4R
and I'm just not exactly into it ATM so I'm debating on how much time I have to complete it vs when I'll get into it. I am also debating if I want to take on a new book of some sort. Sigh looks like I might be back in a slump. We shall see.

Esther wrote: "Rebecca ♥ Aaron Warner, Magnus Damora ♥ wrote: "Esther wrote: "I'm starting . I really liked the first book in this series and I think the 3rd will be out in a few ..."I love the covers too. Especially the redesign on book 1. So gorgeous! It makes me wanna buy the paperbacks so bad!

an anthology. I'm really enjoying it. I like that I can read a story or two and then put it down to pick it up later.Finishing up
, which I'm not loving and not sure what I will rate it.Started
which is different and interesting with it's Jewish perspective and sci-fi stuff going on.And reading
which I've been waiting for FOREVER (and I'm on the blog tour).

"What did you think?"

It's quite different. Took me a bit to get into it. I liked book 2, as well. It's very "out there" for me, though.

i liked it because it is unusual from other dystopian fantasies too. it had a slow start but progressed well.

Yeh it was published way back in 2009, so don't think many people have heard about it!

I love fantasy too :) And thanks! I've always been a huge Odd Thomas fan, although I do like the earlier ones slightly better than the later ones. Have you read Koontz's Frankenstein series? They are my all-time fave Koontz books!

SO GOOD! Love this series. The writing is fantastic :D"I just read all of that series at the beginning of this week and loved them. Beautiful player was my favourite out of them all.
This weekend I finished
and loved it ..... so much that I read it again (with the accompanying soundtrack second time around) instead of starting a new book lol

Yes Lynn I loved the entire Beautiful Bastard series too. And OMG agreed 100% on Maybe Someday. LOVED it so much. Planning on rereading it next month for our May RC since it looks like it'll be one of our poll winners :)

Okay so I finished
and was so disappointed. Hated all of the main characters. Ugh! Hate it when there's nothing redeeming in a story. Almost halfway done with
and loving it. Also decided to start
and it's very good so far too.

Love Koontz. This one is my favorite:
Finished
it was a rough story line, but overall decent book, I did enjoy it and found it interesting. I will eventually move on to the next one. Still have my R4R and Chicagoland Vamps book 4 in my currently reading, but they are on pause at the moment. I may start
Danielle wrote: "Finished it was a rough story line, but overall decent book, I did enjoy it and found it interesting. I will eventually move on to the next one.

The Cover Contessa wrote: " Marla wrote: "David wrote: " I love fantasy too :) And thanks! I've always been a huge Odd Thomas fan, although I do like the earlier ones slightly better than the later ones. Have you read Koontz..."Oh yes, that's a good one!
Over the weekend I finished
then read
(too much use of the F word for my taste) moved on to
(cute but predictable) next was
(eh, *shrug*) then I pushed myself through
(which, honestly, irritated me) loved
(see my review if you want my full opinion, but, honestly, who does :)) and finally
(which I tried to read but found myself jumping chapters and skimming dialogue instead). Now I think I'll take a break, give my Kindle a much needed rest, and focus on my own writing for a couple of days.

Definitely Kouk. I always change up genres because reading just gets too stale otherwise. I enjoyed fallen Too Far too. Still need to get back to book 3 for this series.
