From what I understand, she asked for him to star with her."


Oh...well how did she get in both?

Finally finished The Rules for Disappearing (The Rules for Disappearing, #1) by Ashley Elston . I gave it two stars for now. Probably more like 2.5. The story has potential but the writing was not very good! I will start the second book The Rules for Breaking (The Rules for Disappearing, #2) by Ashley Elston but won't try and get too far if it doesn't do it for me. So many others that I need to read and enjoy!

Sophie (sophieiscraycray4books) | 27 comments I'm actually reading like 4 books because of a reading slump I'm in right now but here they are:

The Shadowhunter's Codex by Cassandra Clare
Rebel Belle by Rachel Hawkins
Pandemonium (Delirium, #2) by Lauren Oliver
Never Fade (The Darkest Minds, #2) by Alexandra Bracken



And I'm enjoying them all I just haven't gotten that far in them. Hopefully when finals end I can read more because I really need to read Shadowhunters Codex before City of Heavenly Fire. But if I don't finish it by then I'll just read CoHF first.

Did you watch the Divergent movie Mel? They're in it together. They play brother and sister so that's sort of going to ruin their romantic roles in TFiOS :(

I'm just saying that John Green has seen the movie and HE said that it was a REALLY GOOD adaptation. It's probably going to be a very good adaptation if the AUTHOR says that its a good adaptation. So I recommend seeing it.

Chaos Walking is my favorite dystopian series! You definitely have to try it! And for those who haven't read it, you've GOT to read Ness's other book, A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness absolute brilliance!

Micah (sinvega) | 76 comments I am having some trouble with The False Prince (The Ascendance Trilogy, #1) by Jennifer A. Nielsen

it is decent so far but I think it may be because this book is more Middle grade than Ya. I do like it enough. Sage is interesting and refreshing protag but I am ready to be wowed.

Yes, Gena Showalter is great. I read the first book in her Angels Of The Dark series and the first 3 books of her Lords Of The Underworld series too and those are very good as well. Need to read the rest of them.

Belkis (bminaya) | 8313 comments I finished Motorcycle Man (Dream Man, #4) by Kristen Ashley and loved it! Love Kristen Ashley's stories and writing. Now reading and enjoying Nowhere but Here by Renée Carlino it's really good so far. Renee Carlino is another author who's writing I'm falling in love with. Her first book Sweet Thing was fantastic. And now this second one is shaping up to be another wonderful read. Hoping to finish it today so that I can jump into Sixth Grave on the Edge (Charley Davidson, #6) by Darynda Jones which releases tomorrow EEEKKKPPP!!!

You're probably right. But if they do a decent job then it's worth it. I thought they did a decent job with Divergent. I didn't agree with some of the casting choices, but overall it was a good movie.

No don't tell me that : ( I may just go ahead and finish it now but jump into something else that it is guaranteed to be a better read


message 4475: by Laura (new)

Laura  (llbasaldua) | 790 comments I havent been here much at all this year have a lot going on with me health wise and also with my Mom as some of you know she had cancer last year well its back and now its stage 4 liver cancer so yeah ... as for me I found out I have a cyst on my lower temporal lobe. Its Benign so thats good but it will be watched. and on top of that I was sick for almost a month with Bronchopneumonia - But on the bright side I have gotten through a lot of books that have been on my kindle for ages.

and recently I just finished Backstage Pass (Sinners on Tour, #1) by Olivia Cunning Rock Hard (Sinners on Tour, #2) by Olivia Cunning Hot Ticket (Sinners on Tour, #3) by Olivia Cunning Wicked Beat (Sinners on Tour, #4) by Olivia Cunning Rock Hard (Sinners on Tour, #2) by Olivia Cunning

Mystic City (Mystic City, #1) by Theo Lawrence was good looking forward to the next. Also finally had time to read Murder of Crows (The Others, #2) by Anne Bishop Not as good as the first but I still really ejoyed it.

Full Blooded (Jessica McClain, #1) by Amanda Carlson Hot Blooded (Jessica McClain, #2) by Amanda Carlson enjoying this series also.

Even White Trash Zombies Get the Blues (White Trash Zombie, #2) by Diana Rowland A lot like the first but still good.

And I also started The Iron King (The Iron Fey, #1) by Julie Kagawa REALLY liked it so looking forward to the rest of the series.

Last night I finished But I Love Him by Amanda Grace liked it ,liked how it was different and went from the end to the beginning. read it in one sitting less than 6 hrs!

And Now Im listening to Enclave (Razorland, #1) by Ann Aguirre

Bridget | 1517 comments Sorry about your mom, Laura. And good to hear you are back feeling better. You did get some good books read. Love the Sinners!


message 4477: by Bridget (new)

Bridget | 1517 comments Just finished White Hot Kiss (The Dark Elements, #1) by Jennifer L. Armentrout and Storm Warning (Broken Heartland, #1) by E. Lee . Both were great, but they both ended in MAJOR cliffhangers. I mean they were cut your heart out, tears in your eyes cliffhangers. The books were great, but if I had known the endings, I probably would have waited closer to the release of the next in the series. Ugh!

I hear you! I felt the same after I finished WHK, but it was kinda expected from JLA, don't you think? Gah, I just can't help myself though. lol

Donna | 1350 comments Not sure when the last time I updated here but I'm on a EH binge. After I finished the Irin Chronicles (LOVE LOVE LOVE), I broke off and read Of Neptune (The Syrena Legacy, #3) by Anna Banks . It was good/okay. I couldn't get too into it mainly because 1. I just finished the Singer and kept thinking about it and 2. she kept switching POVs in the middle of a section and I was getting perturbed by it. But, like it said, it was good. Then I read A Hidden Fire (Elemental Mysteries, #1) by Elizabeth Hunter and now This Same Earth (Elemental Mysteries, #2) by Elizabeth Hunter . Both excellent, as expected. :)

Hate to hear that about your mom Laura. Hope she is feeling as well as possible. Thank God my mom didn't get as sick as she could have. Hope you are better for the long term. Glad you are back.

Danielle (Danniegurl) (danniesreads) | 1326 comments Laura Sorry to hear about your mom and your being sick.
Sinners is awesome, there is a new novella or book coming out about each band members wedding, and eventually about babies, and also Exidus End will have their own series out soon too.

Jessica MaClain or however it was spelled, the hot blooded, I didn't really get book 1 so I haven't made it to book 2 but since you said it's good I might end up doing that.

The Iron Fey is very cool, it was my first fey series and introduced me to that, so it helped when I read Fever and Alex Craft series.


Danielle (Danniegurl) (danniesreads) | 1326 comments You guys today's the day!!!!!! Sixth Grave on the Edge (Charley Davidson, #6) by Darynda Jones woot I haven't bought it yet, I'm still debating if I want to read it now or wait until October when I can read book 7 too, plus I, still in the middle of Kate Daniels series lol.


Danielle (Danniegurl) (danniesreads) | 1326 comments Currently reading Gunmetal Magic (Kate Daniels, #5.5) by Ilona Andrews it's Andrea's book, she gets her own book and the 5.4 book of Curran and Kate should be at the end so I can't wait to read that either. This series is definitely good, and enjoyable but boy that first book really could have prevented me from continuing but I always know the first book was the most difficult. Examples for me were Morganville Vamps, totally hated book 1. VA also I checked that out from the library a few times and never got into it finally I pushed myself and I loved it. So yea lol read Kate Daniels if you haven't.

Oh Laura, I'm so very sorry about all you're going through. I've had you on my mind for ages since you hadn't stopped by as you usually do. We've missed you around here sweetie and I pray you continue to get better. Sending you loads of hugs and positive thoughts for you and your mom.

Belkis (bminaya) | 8313 comments Okay so I finished reading Nowhere but Here by Renée Carlino and really enjoyed it a lot. I can now say that Renee Carlino has cemented herself as a must read author for me. Have now read and loved all of her books so far. Now I'll be starting Sixth Grave on the Edge (Charley Davidson, #6) by Darynda Jones which happily released today! More HOT & Yummy Reyes LOL!
