wasn't as good as book 1 though, still good but not as great."My thoughts exactly, Danielle. Keeping my fingers crossed for book 3."
Yea I'm wondering how Em and Hunters story is going to go. What with what happened in book 2 but I sure they give us those deets as well. Also 5 yr time jump in the epilogue boo. Lol.
Yea I think TMI is a DNF maybe I'll get into it again, but doubtful. I think I got to middle of book 4.
It's weird, I'm sorta on a contemp romance roll, and so far I don't feel like I have to go back to PNR or UF just yet. So weird, since I typically prefer the paranormal over the normal. Anyways I'm thinking about going for
I think this is book 2. Or maybe I'll pick something else, idk what I want ugh.
I didn't get much of a reading time last couple of weeks. My grandpa had a heart attack and it's been taugh. But I managed to read
, started out slow but it got better. Also finished
OMG loved it. Charley is the best! Also read
and really enjoyed it.
Ladies(And guys) I always ask this but I am looking for some recommends1. Bad-ass Male Protag(Preferably focal)
2. Bad-ass but charming Male Antagonist
3. Dystopia Preferred, but can do Paranormal
4. Nothing romance heavy please
5. Preferably a Trilogy or Series
I am reading: Legend, Under The Never Sky, and Chaos Walking and also The False Prince trilogy
I read: The Raven Boys, Maze Runner

Have you read
? Or
? I recently read and enjoyed both. The first is more of a Dystopian and Jack is definitely badass.

Read the first Rock Chick book and planning on reading book 2 in a few days. Have you read her Dream Men series yet? It's also fantastic. At least for me LOL! I loved them.

for sure! My absolute fave!
Nicole wrote: "Argh I need help, I don't know which series to start next. I can't choose between

[bookcover:Throne of Glass..."Oh my Nicole, you have some awesome ones there! no wonder you're having a hard time choosing LOL! I read all of these except for Alice in Zombieland as zombie stories are not my thing. But I LOVED Throne of Glass, LOVED Daughter of Smoke and Bone, really liked The Iron Fey series, and The Raven Boys is wonderful as well. You honestly can't go wrong with any of these as they're all awesome reads. However, my favorites from this bunch are Throne of Glass & Daughter of Smoke and Bone :)

- The Iron Fey spin-off series has a male protag and does not feature as much romance as the original series. It focuses more on Ethan's relationship with his nephew, but there is still some romance.
- Cool male protag, not much romance. I havent read the sequel so I cant vouch for it.
- Self explanatory. :P
- Features a present day knight. Seriously kick-ass. Its adult but clean, although maybe a tad violent. Only book 1 is out so far.
- About a merman prince. He's a cocky teen, hardly any romance, mostly adventure.

I decided against Rock Chick 2 for right now though since I'm on the motorcycle club books kick right now.

Finished
it was good, but I felt the romance was very fast and didn't seem explained so well. So I felt it sort of....unnatural I guess.

Please let me know what you think of it when you're done reading it :) and I need to get back to The Revenants trilogy too. Read the first book and enjoyed it but never read the other 2. Guess I should go dig them out from my TBR mountain now that you've reminded me of them LOL!

I just chanced upon Leaving Paradise when browsing the library. I am listening to it right now and I have to say it's pretty good. I am enjoying If I Should Die also but I didn't like the second one as much. So if you don't like the second one either don't worry because the third gets better but you have to read 2 so you know what is going on.

Okay thanks Tracy for the heads up so I don't end up shelving book 2 then :) and I'll move Leaving Paradise up my list as well.

I say go with Bridget's suggestion of Poison Princess, should fit your list well. What did you think of Maze Runner and Raven Boys?

Struggling to keep up with reading these days, but I finished another one that was pretty good.
was a really gritty, hard, but realistic look at what the armed forces go through with a love story weaved in. Not at all what I expected as far as how much detail was put into making you feel like you are right there experiencing the violence, it was really well-written.
Next up is

which I was supposed to get reviewed before release but just didn't happen. =/

My main problem with it is the pov change, I think it's third person. Book one mainly focused on Clary, but as we went on we got everyone else's pov weaved in and it drove me nuts, because we'd finally get to a good part about Clary, and then it's like a tbc in a tv show. It'd cut away from Clary and the answers and go to say Simon and what's going on with him and I'm screaming in my head like NOOOO I DONT CARE WHATS GOING ON WTH SIMON RIGHT NOW I NEED TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED WITH CLARY. So after 3.5 books of this I got fed up. Not my style. It was too much. I wanted the answers to what was happening with clary so much that I couldn't focus on the subplots of the other POVs.
So I have
that I decided to do. Might as well right this contemp romance bug out since it's so not my go to.

I hated maze runner but i loved the raven boys(after reading its sequel) :D
poison princess is a fave. i need to read its sequel soon
Nicole wrote: "Argh I need help, I don't know which series to start next. I can't choose between

[bookcover:Throne of Glass..."The raven boys is what i recommend BUT be ready to read the sequel....i didnt like trb until after the sequel which i read back to back as book 1 felt like a set up while book 2 up the ante
Screams loudly....I am in a book slump. Read The false prince and it has potential but i was not impressed.
Read
and it was not awful but not great. It's better than divergent.Incredibly forced romance, one dimensional characters who basically sound the same, predictable plot and more.
But i give it a 3 star. I need something good because i am disappointed with stuff i've read
