I've been working on
on audiobook for awhile, but really needed to get to some other books ..."Thanks Victoria!! I got one of the books finished! This week, I've been completely absorbed in
every night this week after 12 hour workdays. It's over 900 pages but is worth every single minute! I don't want it to end! Best zombie apocalypse book series I've ever read!! This is the sister series to her first trilogy
. Jen's been waiting for the audiobooks which are released 3 months later. I can't wait that long. I think I may have to read all six books over again after this one! Or at least next year! She's now writing another sister series set in the same world! Squeeeee!!

Me too. The last book I read
was just so so hopefully this will be better. I do know Terry is a good author having read a book by him before.

Finished When You Reach Me, which was really good. Dnf’d Star Touched Queen, couldn’t get into the writing. Now reading Bridge of Clay by Marcus Zusak and continuing on with Drums of Autumn. Also reading Everyday by David Levithan.

I saw in your review about how the Scottish dialect was an issue. Yeah, if you didn't like that, you won't like the part of the Discworld series that focusses on those characters.

I think I wouldent have minded that as an audiobook but reading it was too difficult for me. Also there were other aspects I dident like. Like I dident hate it, but after page 200 I had to force myself to read on, I just wasent interested anymore, so yes not my book really.

I feel the same about Practical Magic as you do. I haven't read Rules of Magic yet, I need to!
Mod
-reread-4.5 starsI just loved this read! So unique, creepy, and just interesting. Can't wait for the sequel, I HAVE to know what happens next!
4 starsReally good heartbreaking read with some amazing twists!
--4 starsThis was so adorable! Kind of a cross between Narnia and Alice in Wonderland.
5 starsWOAH! Major chills factor! The twists in this was just SO GOOD, I had no idea what to expect next, and it was all done so well. Definitely recommend this thriller!
5 starsSo many wonderful things to love in this novel! The mystery was fascinating, with true elements of horror that had me gasping! I love Audrey Rose, one of the best MCs I've read in a while, and Thomas adds the snarky humor to the story that has me laughing. And then the romance...it was perfect! Very rich and real, but just a dash of it here and there, keeping the mystery at center stage. I just adore this series!
Actual rating average off of all 13 stories--3.84
I rounded it up to 4 stars
This is a fun anthology of stories that is all about villains--what's in their heads and what makes them tick. There are all kinds in here--several retellings and origin stories, some mythology, and some modern day stories. There's everything from outright murder to slandering of reputations. These made for some interesting reading! Some I liked a lot better than others, but I do think this one is worth the read if you are interested in villains and retellings at all!
5 starsI just adored this fantasy! Such an intricate world with all kinds of politics and problems between regions and races. The misfit characters were awesome, and I love the slow burning romance. New favorite fantasy series!
5 starsThis one was even better than the first! Not so much set up and information, could jump right into the action, and there was quite a bit. I love this dark and imaginative series, its such a cool world!
--reread- 4 starsThis is a really fun mystery series, and those who like a good old fashioned mystery or sherlock holmes-- I would recommend this. Read for the 2nd time, just as good! I'd forgotten a lot of the details, which made the read super enjoyable!
--4 starsThis was a fun little gothic mystery! I never did figure it out. This is more of a mystery than a thriller, but I really enjoyed it!
--3 starsI didn't like this one quite as much as the first. I did like the magical world of Death, that was pretty cool, but otherwise not a lot seemed to be happening until the end. The writing is still beautiful, though, and I love the two sisters. I really wanted more Luka in this one though!
--4 starsThis was a good, creepy mystery! The book dragged in parts, but it was so worth the read, especially for this time of year!
--5 starsThis was a fantastic new story in this series! I just love Audrey Rose and Thomas, and how dark and sinister these cases are! This one was especially gruesome. I didn't love this quite as much as Dracula, but its hard to beat a sinister castle and forest with all kinds of hidden obstacles and dangers! Super fun read!
So as you can see, I had a really great reading month with lots of mysteries and dark fantasy!

Yes, you should. If nothing else, it gives more insight in to the Aunts as characters. Plus, it was a good read.

You really did have a great reading month. Some of those look really good.

late last night (actually early this AM!), and it was a beautiful story! Takes a while to get into the rhythm of the writing, but once you do, you seriously fall in love with all of the Dunbar boys.Started an eARC of
which I also have in print that I won from Goodreads. StIll working on
on audiobook. Feels like I've been listening to this book for a year or more. Actually I have as I keep putting it aside to listen to shorter books. 😂 One day I may finish.

audiobook and the incredible narration by Derek Perkins WON this year's SOVA (Society of Voice Arts) award for Best Teen Voiceover! This is HUGE!!! 🎉🎉🎉👏👏Squeeeeee!!! And to think, we knew him "back when..." 😉😬💙
I'm currently reading Two Dark Reigns and I'm almost done with it. I've been sick so it and a cup of tea are my best friends right now, lol! I like this one better than the first two for some reason, which is why I'm almost done with it.

--4 starsThis was really good, with a lot of factual information and how it related to the show, plus lots of photos. Stills from the show and real life photos as well.
--4 starsA great finale to the series, very entertaining.
--3 starsThis series is a total guilty pleasure read for me. Its like a train wreck honestly.
--5 starsAnother fantastic book in the series! This one was a long one, but I sped through it pretty quickly. Really good mystery, I think the best one yet, and I just adore the characters!
--4 starsThis was a reread, a pretty good one! Its been years since I've read this one, so this was a good refresher. I'm now all set to read the final book and finish this series!
--4 starsLots and lots of photos I'd never seen, especially the older ones!
--4 starsA good retelling of King Midas. Pretty action packed, lots of adventure!
--4 starsThese books are just hilarious! So entertaining.
--4 starsMy favorite book of the series yet!
-- 5 starsThis book was beyond what I was expecting. A great combination of a Time disruption/alternate universe with a mystery/thriller. I loved everything about this read.
--4.5 starsBest book of the series so far! This one added a lot of political games, and a lot more world building.
--3.5 starsI honestly am still not sure what to think of this one. Great writing and great satire and I was pretty hooked--but I feel like I missed some big point it was trying to make.
--4 starsAction packed, these books really move, and I love the dragons and the world. I liked Mira a lot more in this as well.

it is, Makenzie lee recomended it. I actually seen it before but the cover put me off. It looked creepy, though because Death is personified in it, creepy is a logic way to describe it.
