p.s. I am a little worried that I am going to have the same visceral reaction to Blood For Blood as I am with HP7 based on the US's current politics.

[Ashley Marie]

I'm on track to finish it today and I'm loving it -- it's got a bit of a Hunger Games-take-down-the-Capital vibe in this book, more political whereas WbW dealt mostly with the Axis Tour race itself.

[Becky]

Are there just the two main books in the Wolf by Wolf series?

[Becky]

Good to hear that the Monstrumologist series gets even better. I know many people really liked it so I was a bit worried when I got a little bored at times with the first book.

I'm hoping to get Six of Crows for Christmas, too. I'm surprised that my library doesn't carry those. But it does have The Raven Boys, so maybe I'll work on that series in the meantime.

Yes.

In other news! The final book for the Great Library trilogy has a cover and I NEEEEEED IT.

Ooooo I love it!

[*b*l*u*e*m*o*o*n*]

BECKY: I believe Wolf by Wolf is going to be a duology. So yes, Blood for Blood is the last book.

I just bought Six of Crows and Crooked Kingdom a few weeks ago and will most likely read them next year.

I have read and finished...


It is by far my favorite book in the series. I love the whole book from the beginning to the end. I have to say Cinder finally grew on me, but I still prefer Scarlet. I'm not really sure how I feel about Winter and Jacin, but either way I still really loved it!

Started reading...


Just in the first few chapters. It's holding my interest so that's something.

[Ashley Marie]

Scarlet's still my favorite too! <3

Ahhhh I loved the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo books! And the Swedish film adaptations are AH. MAZE. ING.

[Heidi]

I was a Scarlet fan throughout but I like my heroines like her in general. Loved GWTDT as well and highly recommend it on audio! I will say I think because the author died before the series was released they did not edit the books as much as they could have IMO so at times them meander into political stuff so I would get lost for awhile but I loved it despite that.

[Ashley Marie]

Yeah the writing is a bit dry and could've used an editor, but I loved Simon Vance reading them <3

[*b*l*u*e*m*o*o*n*]

Finished...

Really enjoyed the first and re-reading the whole series of the second.

Girl with the Dragon Tattoo was overly descriptive and at times it did get to me, but overall I actually really enjoyed the book. I'm not really the type to delve on books with this kind of topic, but I still enjoyed my reading experience.

[Jen from Quebec :0)]

The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo is one of those rare books that I actually did NOT ever finish....didn't grip me at all. I LOVE Swedish authors, usually, as well. Anyone ever read 'The Room' by Jonas Karlson? (Karllsson?)
The Room only just begun, but great so far....also reading Beyond Belief: My Secret Life Inside Scientology and My Harrowing Escape which is one of the best 'breaking out of a religion' type books I've read and...
also reading the poignant, well read (audio version) of Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir of a Family and Culture in Crisis This book speaks to me personally as a person living in a 'hillbilly' type area- these are MY people!

[Heidi]

GWTDT really needed an editor. Book 2 is my favorite BTW.

[Heidi]

It's that time again! Please post your best reads of 2016 here https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/... :) It is always fun to look back and see what I loved over the year.

[Brigid ✩]

HEY GUYS. I'm so so so sorry I haven't checked in on this group in like ..... more than a month. I've been like insanely busy (I got a new job so I'm working 20+ more hours a week than I used to, lol. Plus I went to Europe!!) and also .... mental stuff, but don't worry I'm okay lol. I've just been like hyperfixating on other things recently and I've been neglecting Goodreads/reading which I feel really bad about.

So yeah ummm I don't know if I even read anything in November, it was kind of a whirlwind month for me because new job/traveling/NaNoWriMo. But I just got from the library:



Which I'm excited to read!

I'm definitely not going to make my reading goal for the year. I fell wayyy off track. But ah well, I'm glad to at least be picking up a book again, lol.

[Heidi]

[Heidi]

Welcome back Brigid! Congrats on your new job and your Europe (I am sure they think what is going on here in the States is interesting - they sure did when I went in March).

[Brigid ✩]

Thanks Heidi! Lol yeah I went right after the election ... it felt good to leave the country for a bit. :P

[Heidi]

I wish I had Brigid!

I am listening to Forgive Me, Leonard Peacock

I have never heard of that one before. It looks good. Let me know what you think of it!

[Heidi]

Elora wrote: "Heidi (Yup. Still here.) wrote: "I am listening to Forgive Me, Leonard Peacock"

I am only an hour into the audio but so far I like it. I will keep you updated.

[Brigid ✩]

I bought a copy of that book a while ago, Heidi! I still need to read it. I've heard good things about it.

[Heidi]

So far I love Matthew Quick Brigid - hope that opinion sticks with this read :)

I forgot to add that besides Forgive Me Leonard Peacock I am reading Elora's book Redemption . I am not able to adjust the font size for some reason so it is very small print so I am only able to read a few pages at a time but so far I like it a lot :)

[Elora]

Had to DNF
I didn't like the first one much when I read it, but I decided to give the series another try because it's all popular right now. I loved her Legend series but something about the writing style in this one is off-putting to me.

Trying
It's a lot more adult than what I normally read, which makes me uncomfortable in certain scenes. But the book is quite dark, and I'm not sure exactly what is going on, but it is interesting nonetheless.

[Heidi]

Elora I skipped the Young Elites series because I have not heard good things about it

[Elora]

FYI
(which I loved) and (which a ton of people love) are both on sale for $1.99 on amazon kindle.

I bought the Salt to the Sea on audio awhile back when it was on sale since several of my GR friends loved it - still need to get to it

[Elora]

LOVED this book! It still haunts me.

[Jenny]

Elora wrote: " is on sale too! $1.99, kindle"

Thank you, just grabbed it!

[Jenny]

I finished and I really liked this one. Now I get to watch the movie!

Going to read a collection of light Christmas romances I found at my library sale for $1!

And also

[Heidi]

I grabbed My Lady Jane. Elora did you recommend it to me? Someone did because I put it in my tbr pile awhile back.

[Ashley Marie]

ooooh Jenny, Blood of Olympus reminds me I need to do a Percy Jackson reread.

[Elora]

I may have....glad you were able to pick it up!

I finished It was very good, but very sad.

Kindle put a lot of good books on sale ^_^

since I was able to meet my Goodreads goal this year, I decided to celebrate by not reading any books on December, plus I'm on a bit of a reading slump. Tried picking up a few books, but not that interested....booooo....

Ah too bad, Blue!

[Jenny]

I started and finished tonight. Not a bad read, a little cliched and not all that believable, but entertaining! It gave me my U book for the ABC challenge, and also finished a series for me though :)

[Karen’s Library]

I had started but my granddaughter confiscated it tonight. ;) I was happy about it though; anything to ensure she's reading. I've had my eye on a signed copy so I'll replace it soon. Granddaughter and I met Marissa Meyer when her Fairest came out and she loves Alice in Wonderland!

I'm also working on and almost finished with David's on audio! Really loving Kate Rudd's performance!

[Heidi]

I just wanted to say that today's audiobook deal on Audible is A Monster Calls . I HIGHLY recommend the audio of this - even if you read the book in print. I think it is only $1.99

[Ashley Marie]

^^^^ YES. Loved this book. Jason Isaacs ripped my heart out and I was happy about it.
