I wasn't very sure at first but it totally pulled me in. Oh tASE was so adorable, I loved it! I've been waiting for Lucas what feels like forever. Ugh, I should stay away from GR before I give in. :)

I can honestly say that Easy is the best NA contemporary I have read. I LOVE that book and hopefully the sequel will live up to the expectations! I would say it's exceptionally good! :)

I'm crossing my fingers for a great followup book too Ekaterine. I loved Easy so much. Lucas was YUM! Will be reading book 2 this month for sure.

We just need more reading time!
@DonnaOMG! The Irin Chronicles is SO FANTASTIC. Really REALLY good. You should definitely try to get to
sometime soonish :D I LOVE all of Elizabeth Hunter's books but this series is my favorite PNR of hers so far. And that's saying a lot because her Elemental Mysteries series is amazing.
Mod
No Belkis, we need to have enough money so we don't have to work. Then we would have more time :)

Mod
Maybe...and I think I have presented this before but we could start our own community. You know, grow our own food, make our own clothes, trade and barter and while we are doing all this we could listen to audiobooks until we could get to sit down and read. I got this all figured out.

And yes darling, you've mentioned this awesome idea before and I appreciated it just as much then as well. We should seriously look into this. Sounds like heaven :D
Mod
OK glad you are game Belkis so now I just need to get about another 98 girls to sign up with us and we will have our own town. It will really need to be someone that can grow stuff and sew because I can't do any of that stuff.

Mod
Crap! Ok all is not lost. I'm sure out of 98 other people someone knows how to do that stuff.
I just started reading
and it is SOOO much better than I expected. Comparable to Phillipa Gregory good. I'm impressed already.
Mod
. My thoughts, don't bother unless you want to get annoyed with plot holes and then be left with nothing resolved in the end plus a huge cliffhanger.I will be starting
tonight and I'm sure I'll blow through it since I read the first one in less than 24 hours.Then I'll be cracking
so I can review it by it's 5/13 publication date.

I don't cook, sewing ha ha, cleaning what is that? I live in Arizona so gardening I'm not too familiar with lol. And I definitely could not kill livestock ew. I'd name them and be sad they were gone, I can't know my food lol. So I guess I'm useless lol, but I can recommend books to read.
I always wished I had one of those neighborhood book trees, it's a small shelf that has free books, you take one and replace it with one of your own. I love that idea so much.

So, it has to be good, it has to!! :)

If you guys clean we are set. :)) I love this idea!!!
Please recommend me some new reads :DI am crazy about dystopian but it doesn't need to be dystopian.
I usually prefer male protag but most books are female protags. So I settle.
My main requirements
1. Dystopian is a plus though not required
2. Sci-fi/Fantasy/Paranormal(I can deal with Sci-fi but nothing to out there lol...)
3. Bad Boy/Anti-hero type of male character who is a character and not just a plot device/love interest
or at least a good guy who is not "Goody goody & Mr. Perfect"
4. Action, Suspense and twists galore
Preferably be a trilogy or series.
Some series I loved/liked
1. Shatter Me(Loved only for Warner)
2. The darkest minds(Love Clancy)
3. poison princess(Liked, almost love)
4. Elemental Series by Brigid Kemmerer(Love)
5. Mara Dyer(Love)
Reading soon:
Under The Never Sky

Finished

Dystopian: Legend series by Lu, Matched series by Condie, Eve Series by Carey (all trilogies)
Paranormal: Nightshade by Cremer (a trilogy but also has prequel and companion books)
Sci Fi: False Memory by Dan Krokos, The Taking by Kimberly Derting
Mod
Oh cool E our little town is growing.
Mod
We will find something for you to do.

"This was eh for me. I was annoyed with a majority of it. I have the second book but haven't read it yet.
What I am currently reading is the "Unearthly" trilogy by Cynthia Hand, I'm about halfway through book three; "Unbound" and Rin Chupeco's "The Girl From The Well" which is different and creepy. Both books, (and Hand's first two in the "Unearthly" series), are all proving to be quite fast and easy reads.
Good things come to those who wait, starting
today (grabbed it for free this weekend) loved
and am so glad to see
is finally here!
Mod
I didn't love the last book in the Unearthly series. I was disappointed with the fast rap up and the tossing aside of a certain character.
