What Are You Reading? 2015
So I finished
but didn't really love it. Maybe I just wasn't in the mood?? But it dragged a bit for me. I plan on starting
and
soon for our May Birthstone YC.

I think book 4 was the weakest as well. I think it was meant to be a trilogy and then she kept going.

Tried to finish

Where you really enjoyed the first couple ones and then all of a sudden you're going "huh?" and there are so many fantastic reviews and 5 star ratings that you start thinking maybe it's you LOL!

Yea I mean maybe sometime I'll get into it again but I really doubt it. And that's what I mean, Simons story lines or anyone else's really I didn't care for. Drove me nuts.
Right now
is holding my attention. Loving these men that have kidnapped her. Lol

After reading a few less than great books, I decided to jump back in and finish
I recommend you all add it to your "To Read" list. It's great. The book above is Book 1...i am reading Book 3 now(i think it is meant to be the end)
PS i am still looking for Male Protag Fantasy/Paranormal Books that feature a Great Leadyour suggestions so far are great ladies. But always hungry for more :D

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."Are you going to read the next 2?

was really good too.
Sara wrote: "Right now is holding my attention. Loving these men that have kidnapped her. Lol"I've been wanting to read this. Amy Bartol is such a great story teller. I love these worlds she creates. Glad to hear it's good. I haven't heard much buzz about it since it came out.

I plan on starting [bookcover:Going Under|13380..."I was looking into Shallow Bridget to see if book 1 Going Under has a continuation. But it looks like it's about a different set of characters. Did Ii understand that correctly? I'm really enjoying Going Under so far.

I plan on reading this one in the next few days for sure. Been wanting to read it since before it released and haven't managed to get to it but now I added it to June reading list lineup :)

It is real good so far. I love her other series, even though I have yet to read book 4 of it. Now if my stupid job would quit the drama. Only one week left.

Finished
it was ok, but drove me nuts. Jet was all kinds of great but Ayden was crazy, and I just didn't get her thinking. I will eventually read
but I know that will be a difficult one since Cora is deep and Rome is also deep with demons. idk if I'll read it now though.
Oh my gosh, I'm finally reading
and I'm obsessed with it, can't put it down!! Markus Zusac is incredible. Between The Book Thief and this one I'm in complete awe :)

That's a bummer. I didn't get past the first book yet! lol"

I like Cassandra Clare's books but I do kind of agree with you. I didn't really care that much for Simon's storylines and in the first book I totally skimmed over the part where he became a rat. Book 5 is better. I think book 4 was the weakest. I can't wait to read the last one, I know it's out but I haven't picked it up yet.
