What are you reading in APRIL?
I've got Cerulean Sins on my computer at work for when I've got down time, and I've borrowed Smoke from the library.Hoping to finish them both up by tomorrow so I can start on Prom Nights from Hell and Escape from Zombie Island.
I found out that Escape from Zombie Island is a sort of choose-your-own though and I'm not very excited about that. We'll see how it goes though I suppose.
I'm reading Burn by Julianna Baggott. I don't know if it's my mood or the book, but I'm having a hard time getting into it.
I am currently reading Death's Rivaland I also started Cinder. I really need to reread Laurell K. Hamilton. I stopped around book 18, only because I got started on other series.
Kiersten wrote: "I need to get back into Anita Blake. I've only read up to Circus of the Damned"I've heard it gets better again, but the last couple of books I've read from the Anita Blake Series have been sort of disappointing.
There's still blood and gore and violence, but there's also SO MUCH POINTLESS SEX! I knew it was coming though when I started the series. I'd been given plenty of warnings from other readers.
I see how Laurell K. Hamilton tried to work it in to the story line, but I'm just still not a fan of it. I feel like she's changed Anita too much. I understand that as a story progresses, characters mature and change, and that's wonderful. I just don't like the direction she'd been taking Anita.
Like I said though, hopefully she'll reel it back in a tad on the sex and we can get back to the basics.

Yeah, I've heard that too. You'd think it would make me want to continue reading, LOL!! But I kind of lost interest after the circus. I'm sure I'll get back into it eventually. I might even have the next book buried in my kindle.
Another book I couldn't really get into, which is strange, was The Darkest Seduction. I started it, but set it down, and haven't yet picked it back up. I think I've been going through a YA faze.
I think like most series, Anita Blake has her ups and downs. I'm just in the middle of a down right now.I have not started the Lords of the Underworld series... is it worth jumping in to?
I went through a YA phase and I'm working out of it. I still pick up Percy Jackson books and Ellen Hopkins' works, but for the most part I'm being drawn towards more...grown up books.

I am currently listening to
Haven't ever read Anita, but I was a Merry Gentry fan - got sick of waiting for a new book in that series and just found other stuff to read

Am I Right? That's all I could picture while reading his story. Sorry if I just ruined it for anyone else. It's a fun series.

You are right lol and I think it is a great series. I just hope that Showalter creates a great story for Torin.

That seems to be the reaction when it comes to his book. Will let you know :)

So proud of myself! Finished off the last I had of Smoke last night (technically really early this morning), then powered through Escape from Zombie Island (which I did not like by the way...and I died a lot).I just now finished the last 25-ish pages of Cerulean Sins and now I'm ready for The Nameless Dead and Prom Nights from Hell
Mod
I've been reading the "Dark Days" series by Jocelynn Drake. I'm enjoying it... the first was a bit challenging to get into, but now I'm hooked.
I finished Vampire Academy series, See me, and currently reading Divergent's second book :)
Mod
It's good, I read it with a lot of pleasure, first book was amazing, now i'm reading the second one, and so far I like it too.And did you like the movie? I want to watch it after i finish the books.
For all of you who have seen the Divergent movie, do you think I should watch it because I loved the books until the third one, and I'm not sure if I want to watch the movie after that ending.
This month I have read 
I plan to finish off the few books out that I haven't read yet of J.D. Robb's In Death series. If I have more time this month after that it's on to Jennifer Estep's Elemental Assassins on book 3 there.
Just finished Clean Sweep by Ilona Andrews. And started re-reading the Dresden Files while I am waiting on the new Charley Davidson and new Dresden books to be released.

Right at this point I've boycotted seeing the movie since I'm still seeing red over the 3rd book! The first and 2nd were both 4 *s for me, but the third just ruined the whole series for me. I'm sure at some point I'll be far enough removed from reading it that I can stand to watch it. I've heard from a lot of people that it was good and decently true to the book.
Mod
I did like it, but I bet there was a lot left out, just like any other book to movie flick.

I have the same feeling about The Hunger Games. Read the books, loved them, but hated the last one.
I too wasn't happy with the third Divergent book but you should really see the movie. I thought they did a good job staying to the book. Plus the actor playing Four is HOT!!
Hi Magicmeida, this is B Truly. I read Divergent and the movie was awesome. But I haven't read book 2 or 3 yet. I have heard about bk 3 ending and I'm not sure if I will ever read the book or see the book 3 movie either. I don't know exactly what happens in book 3 ending, but I know it's not a happily ever after. I love series with a lot of drama and action, but in the end I want the main characters together and happy. Since you have read the series I do think you should definitely see Divergent though. It was done very well.
I had no desire to see the movie after the third book, which really ruined the whole series for me. However, my daughter has not read the third book yet and begged me to go see the movie with her. (I can't bring myself to tell her how I feel about the third book. I want her to make that decision based on her own opinion...not mine.) So of course I took her to see the movie. I thought they did a really good job. It followed the book for the most part.
I must be a strange one then... I actually really liked Allegiant. It's not often that a book gets me so emotional, but that one did.I'm a little odd in the fact that while I do love happily ever afters...Sometimes they just aren't plausible and you have to have the sad, tragic endings as well.
I haven't seen Divergent in theaters yet, but I want to as soon as I can. At this point though I think I'll have to wait until it's out on DVD.
So far this month I've finished:
Right now I'm working on:
So far this month I've read an awesome paranormal romance - though be warned, its pretty dark and spicy. Not for the faint of heart:
UndertowRight now I'm reading a contemporary thriller, but next on my list are:
Angelfall
The Demon King
I recently just finished Thrown To The Wolves and While Hot Kiss I loved both of them.Now, finally after months of having them I'm going to start the Covenant series by J.L.A
Right now I´m Reading Cress. This book is fan-tas-tic! It´s so fun and mindblowing... sorry lost my cool for a sec.It´s the third in the lunar chronicles series, I really reccomend it, if you´re intrested give the first book Cinder a try.
Not really sure what to read next.

Dang Tania... wish I had that kind of a line-up!
Krysta wrote: "Dang Tania... wish I had that kind of a line-up!"A Wedding In December is giving me problem, I cant seem to get into it. As I have 5 other books of hers on my to read shelf ( got them at a charity shop) I want to read them all.
I am told this is not one of her better books. Am half through Dark Prince it is the special edition one and am enjoying it.
The Switch is a laugh, Lynsay Sands books always have funny turns in them. This one is about a pair of twin sisters on the run.
Kiersten wrote: "LOL! That is fantastic Tania."I noticed you had Poison Princess to read, how did you get on with it? I've read all her other books and loved them, but not these yet. I thought they were for YA and would not have the same power to them.
Mod
I loved Poison Princess, myself. If you're okay with reading YA in general, then you'll love it. Kresley's style translates well. There definitely isn't sex like in her adult romances, but the angst is great and the way the two characters relationship progresses is classic Kresley.
Just started Fashionably Dead by Robyn Peterman. It's a comedic paranormal romance and so far it's pretty good!
