I own Legend but still have not gotten around to starting it. Sometimes I just feel like I cannot read a series. I need to start finding more book that are stand alones so I don't have to commit the next like week and weeks to one series...
Sometimes books are great in a series, but then there are the times when only one book is needed and it's like a movie franchise that won't stop making unnecessary sequels again... and again... and again... They can get old. *cough cough thinking of the Max Ride books*
I have only heard of Max Ride a little, but sounds like that is a good thing! haha
I like books in a series, but yes, only when there really is more to be read! Even though I LOVED Host, I am kind of sad that one is going to be continued. I felt it was a good stand alone, in a world of series books right now!

Does anyone use the Kindle Unlimited plan to get unlimited books from Amazon for a set price each month? Is it worth it? I have looked into it a little bit, but I am not sure if it is worth it, since not all titles are available... Any thoughts?
wow not heard of the Amazon set price before. Will have to look into it... tho if not all titles are included it will be my luck I wont find something before the month is up haha :D
Amazon also owns Audible and they have membership that allows you to download 1 or 2 books a month and their selection is much better, they have had any book I looked for. I just can't justify the price for such a small limit, I am sure they will eventually go unlimited or at least bump up the quantity and I will probably use that once they do
That's how I feel about the price too! I get enough books for free to rent from my digital library, so I don't plan on doing the Amazon deal just yet.... Maybe if they make it a better deal or offer more selection, but for now I am not convinced it is worth it.
Sometimes I stick my chicken nuggets in my mouth and let them sit there until the breading falls off
Who loves Maze runner series? I love them like a lot. :) /Users/skimsey450/Desktop/Random/mazerunner/Screen Shot 2014-11-29 at 10.51.27
Maze Runner is an amazing series for sure! I need to re-read them soon though, hopefully before I see the movie again. Although this time of year is busy so that might not quite happen, since I plan on buying it the day it comes out!! :)
I don't know if I actually cried when he dies in the book....but he was SO PERFECT in the movie! I lost it for sure! I was actually holding my breath thinking they were not going to kill him, since the music was all swelling and happy. And then Gally walked in and I just started crying immediately!! They did the moment so well to lead into the next book, but at the same time so BAD since it was emotional! haha I am currently re-reading the series (or rather listening to audio book while I knit Christmas presents) and I am not sure if I will be able to deal with that chapter all too well....
Yeah, I saw that earlier!! Thanks! I was super excited when I saw it! Made my day for sure!!! :D
Since this is a random discussion, I wanted to talk about the book the Fault in our Stars by John Green. I read it before summer vacation and it only took me three days to read it. That is the fastest I ever read a book. I also saw that movie which I liked. Yet, I still the like the movie. I loved the book, so different than any book I read. I thought that it was amazing. I want to get people's take on what they think of the movie or book if they ever read it or saw it.
Thank you Dana. Now I know where to go :)
Perfect! I try to make sure all the popular books/movies have their own thread since people chat about them so much! In fact, we read TFIOS for out BOTM a few months back too, so the thread should have lots of comments in it! :)
You know girls and guys. I read a series by t.m. nielsenIt had a lot of mistakes when she first publish them. But i have to tell you. I have read them like seven times. The first book is call Heku. There are nine books in total. Give it a try and let me know. They are so different. Theres love but not nasty sex. Vampires that are not vampires like we know them. Its wonderful.
Has anyone seen the new 2015 movie plan for Marvel?! It looks amazing, Doctor Strange will be a must see.

Do you ever find it difficult to watch a movie after reading the book? The last few movies I watched I was constantly critiquing the movie or saying to myself, "Wait! What about...".

Is anyone allowed to make a new thread? I want to know everyone's opinions on Pretty Little Liars :)
The books and the tv show? :) I've been reading the books (up to book 3) and can't decide if I should watch the show!
I spotted something on Facebook earlier suggesting "The Martian" is being made into a film. Has anyone read the book or heard anything about it? Any thought?
