I finnished The Healer by C.J. Anaya. Then I read Bloody Zombies by Victoria Leybourne, and Zombie Messiah by Eric Mead. Next I'm planning to read Ixeos by Jennings Wright.

Ooh that's a good one!! Hope you're liking it. :) I've been meaning to re-read it!
@Jenny I liked Passenger. It's a little slow and a bit confusing at first, but it picks up and gets interesting. Hopefully you like it.
You may recall me complaining about
a few days ago.I'm just past the halfway point and it's finally starting to get really good. (Team Theron~~ ehehe)

Depending on how I like the second half, maybe a buddy read is on the table? ;)

tonight. We shall see. I just finished
last night and I'm having a hard time starting another book.
This is odd but twice I have replied to someone's post and my text is in italics yet I check and my post is clearly outside the html formatting. BTW, it has only happened in this group.

Oh, how weird.

I really liked it. There's one thing I would have done a little differently but it doesn't change anything about the story and how it ends. I thought the ending was really good and fitting.
I was a little sad about a few of the characters.
It's hard not to post spoilers!
@Karen - Yay!! That series is like ... my whole life right now, I love it so much. :D It's definitely better when you re-read it, I think, because there's so much great foreshadowing. (view spoiler)
@Karen. Woohoo! I felt the same way about the spoilers when I reread them. Now i'll have to go back and reread the whole series sometime to find all the spoilers for TRK :)

I've had that happen to me before, too. Goodreads formatting is far from perfect! When that happens, I just delete the italics completely, and put the person name I'm responding too instead.

Oh gosh, Victoria. I think you would love this series!!!
I may or may not have ordered all 4 books in hardback yesterday! (Ok, yes I did!) And I just finished The Raven Boys and can't wait for my books to get here, so I'm buying and downloading
right now. Yikes!

With a glowing recommendation like that, I'm going to have to read it, that's for sure!
Still plugging away with the bunnies. The Black Rabbit of Inle is AWESOME. I want a plushie. (not that I need any more of those)
Not even halfway through TRK yet but I'm already dying to reread the series (pun not intended).

@Karen - HOORAY!!! That makes me so happy! Welcome to The Raven Cycle club! (I absolutely adored The Dream Thieves and so I'm super excited for you to read it!)
I still think The Dream Thieves is my favorite. TRB was good, LBBL was confusing, TRK tied it all together, but TDT was just deliciously dark and creepy! :)

That's a good idea.

Cool, good to know :) I've just requested the first book from the library, so I'll give it a second chance and see where it takes me!

Hmmm I didn't even make it to the halfway point, I just couldn't keep myself interested. Which is a shame if it gets better later on, but I have no desire to try again, unfortunately.

Understandable. I don't think the book really picked up any steam until nearly halfway. I'm curious though, what did you find unappealing about it?
I agree too, about The Dream Thieves being my favorite of the series. Mostly because Ronan is bae LOL
Harlee wrote: "I agree too, about The Dream Thieves being my favorite of the series. Mostly because Ronan is bae LOL"This ^^^^ :D
I think my ranking of the whole series is:
1. The Dream Thieves
2. The Raven King
3. The Raven Boys
4. Blue Lily, Lily Blue
I adore them all, though!!
I agree Brigid, but I'm torn over #2 and 3... I'd probably pick Raven boys over Raven King for the mere fact of (view spoiler)That alone is one of the reasons I fell in love with this series!
It's hard to choose between those two! I'm pretty certain about my #1 and #4, but I feel like TRK and TRB are kinda tied for the middle spot. ;) They're the "bookends" of the series so they're very different! (view spoiler)
I got my hardbacks of
and
today which was really fast! Hope I get
tomorrow because I think I'll be ready for it by Sunday! ;)
Now reading
and it feels like another late night!! Ronan, Ronan, Ronan!!!!
