Mehsi So how is everyone doing? Enjoying their books?


message 552: by Mandiann (new)

Mandiann (goodreadscommandiann) | 6882 comments I am really enjoying Ashfall. I will finish it soon and move on to some Manga and Novellas.

How about you, Mehsi?

Jordan (jords) | 415 comments I wasn't sure about my book when I started it but I'm really beginning to enjoy it. I think it may have been because I didn't like the authors other series so I had low expectations of it! How is yours going?

Good to hear that Mandiann. Have fun with those books/manga.

Oh good to hear that Jordan, congrats, what book are you reading now?

And to answer you both:

I am currently holding a bit of a break between reading, watching some anime, maybe clean the house a bit. After that I will start with Ever After High, and then Ashfall when I still have time.

At first I didn't, but now I'm starting to love Switched (Trylle, #1) by Amanda Hocking big half of the book was a little boring, but now it's interesting and it's just getting better and better, and I only have around 5 chapters till the end, after I end with this book then will start with new book.


message 566: by Mehsi (new)

Mehsi Sorry to hear that a big part of the book was boring, but it is good to hear it gets better. Would you recommend the book?

Good luck/have fun with your book, and also your next one. :)

Miodrag ★❥ | 889 comments I have a question, it's not for readathon (I don't know where to ask) ... how can I participate in 2 month challenge? I see that in April new challenge is starting and I really want to participate. ;)

I would recommend to everyone this book, yeah it's a bit boring in a start, but it gets better, and also it's YA, YA books are just awesome!! :) (Thanks Mehsi, you too)

I hope you'll like it. I am now going to finish it and see how it ends. Already got Torn and Ascend (but not reading next :P). I rarely read series/trilogy books all at once, I usually read first book, then after some time continue and read second and on. I only read Divergent series, all 3 books for less than 10 days, because they were just so good. :)

Mehsi Thanks, I hope so too. :)
