@Heidi - Hmm yeah it does seem to be one of those series people are torn about. I have kinda mixed feelings about the trilogy as a whole––I really liked the first one, the second one was a bit of a letdown for me, but the third book is making up for it. In any case they're fun and the world-building is interesting! Like Elora said I think it does take some getting used to at first, but over all they're good. :)

Brigid is totally right. Book 2 was quite boring, but i did think Alucard was pretty fun. Book 3 made up for it though. If you find you don't like book 1, then I'd pass.

I am rereading 10 Minutes from Home
so that I can read the next one
. It is better written than I remember. Since I read it in 2014 I remember very little, LOL. Still skipping around to find the book that will hold me and I think this is it. Crossing my fingers.
Karen and I are doing a buddy read of
that starts April 1st, and everyone is welcome to join in the fun!

WOOOT! I'm behind on my Fatemarked rereads ( I do want to read the final versions), so I may not get to Truthmarked until May, although I'll pop on the thread to read everyone's comments (I've been doing so for Fatemarked, too)
Wintersong is on my TBR but I need to figure out how I'm going to get a copy.
I do have the Queen's Poisoner in audiobook, so YAY, I'll definitely join in on that one!

Finished ACOTAR, still one of my favorites. Decided to read Daughter of the Pirate King next instead of Before I Fall, which is okay so far. I like Alosa, I find her funny and a bit sassy but the plot development isn't that great.
I am reading again
since it has been a while. I got the digital copy from the library again and also the audio so I can go back and forth. What a writer!

They really are. Such a well-developed world with complex characters. Great stuff :)

I read this one a few years ago and saw the ebook on sale recently. I was debating whether to get it and reread it. I finally decided not to at this time. :( Mostly because of the length. ;) ha!

It is really well-written and I love how far she's come as an author. I really wasn't a fan of her Grisha series, but everything I didn't like in that series, she doesn't do in this series, so it's almost like reading a different author!

LOL! That's funny :P I don't have a lot of reading time atm, but I'm almost 10% in and love how well-developed the characters are. There's a lot of subtlety and nuance as well. Can't wait to dig more into it when I have some free time.
I finished:
It's the first book I've finished this year lol, so I'm glad to be out of my slump (for now, anyway). It was my favorite of the series! Enjoyed it a lot. :D
Yesterday I started:
Not very far into it yet, but it's very interesting so far!

WOW, that's a long slump, I am SO GLAD you pulled out of it. Reading slumps drive me crazy, both personally and professionally LOL

Alright! I've finished a few books over the last few weeks. Here goes:
soooo sooo sooo good! Heartbreaking and horrific, but so well-written.
The ultimate who-dun-it. I loved every moment of this one.
So many feels. This is one of the best coming of age stories I have ever read!!
I had a really hard time getting into this one, but about halfway through I was pleasantly surprised. Not my typical read, but the author included some interesting things that we don't normally see.
Honestly, I was really disappointed by this one (and the rest of the series). I thought it was going to be fantastic, but it turned out to be really sexist.
So good. A fantastic story of finding out who you are, friendship, and awesome parents. Warning...severe physical abuse occurs.
I picked this one up as a fluff book, not expecting much from it. I was surprised. It's a twist on Romeo and Juliet, with some magical elements included, but there was NO insta-love.And finally, one of the BEST books I've EVER read:
I won't give anything except: if you love books, if you love reading, this book is for you.
