it's very easy to read, if a bit inconsistent, but I'm enjoying it.

I had mixed feelings about that one. I think maybe I set my hopes too high because there was so much hype when it first came out. :P So, I liked it, but I wasn't crazy about it. The format is interesting, but it gave me a bit of a headache. And on top of that, I found the pacing kind of weird and didn't find either of the main characters very interesting. The last 200-ish pages are really exciting, though!

I listened to this one on audio. I was not as in love with it as some others but it was a decent read.

It was a pretty great book, VERY intense and suspenseful. Are you reading the ebook or paperback? I highly recommend the paperback or hardback if you can get your hands on it, really enhances the experience because of the unique way this book is structured/written :) ENJOY!

[David]

I'm reading and it is heartbreaking and breathtaking. Absolutely beautifully written. Completely different than Out of the Easy, which was also an amazing book. She is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors.

Ditto on reading it in print! It's so much more than a book that way.

Jenny, my book club is reading Me before You. I am glad to hear you liked it. I have heard good things.

Thank you, Heidi! It was sooo much fun!!! :D

I know what you mean, Heidi; I am the same way. This one was fun, I think, because it was our 45th and most of us are starting to realize how time flies! Also it was SUPER casual-jeans! Yay! ;)

Glad you had a great time Dixie :)

Finished:



It was okay, over all. I liked the dark version of Oz, and towards the end it got more exciting. I just wasn't a big fan of the writing, and didn't really connect with any of the characters. Plus I felt like it relied on too many tropes. It did have kind of a cliffhanger ending though, so I'm debating over whether or not I should give the second book a try.

Next I am reading our group read:



Yay!

Oh and I'm still re-reading .

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

Finished...


I enjoyed it, but didn't love it as much as the reviews I've seen. Its interesting enough for me to want to continue on to the series. Kady irritated me in the beginning tho!

Also read...

It's a cute story for young readers. It's actually really fun.

I felt the same way about Illuminae. The only character I connected with was the computer!

[Brigid ✩]

Omg same here, Heidi. AIDAN was by far my favorite character and it wasn't even a person. :D

Bluemoon, I love Lumberjanes! My younger siblings introduced me to those books and they are so cute and hilarious. :)

[Elora]

I finished and was completely blown away. It was fast-paced, had a tight plot and was deeper than I thought it would be. I loved each of the "main" characters and especially loved what Cline did with Aech.

After that, I moved onto and . I LOVED Carter's Heist Society novels. They were fun, not too deep and carried enough action to move the story forward. This series, though, just didn't do it for me. There seemed to be a LOT of just walking around and talking, not to mention the fact that no one in the embassy can close the door behind them while they're having meetings, leaving our MC able to eavesdrop. I read the phrase "the door was open a crack" so many times I wanted to hurl the book across the room. We are in an embassy people!

Finally, I read
After getting past brunet, gage and canvass, I was left with a ridiculous backstory of how slayers were created. Throw in an honest-to-goodness love triangle and the mention of hot, muscular men, and you've got yourself a doozy--or you know, a typical YA read. All that being said, it was still an entertaining read, and the action picked up a lot at the end.

[Heidi]

Elora so happy you loved RPO. I skipped All Fall Down after being warned away by some of my GR friends reviews - sad because I love Heist Society too.

How was her Gallagher Girls series? Have you read it?

[Jenny]

Elora wrote: "Heidi (Yup. Still here.) wrote: "Elora so happy you loved RPO. I skipped All Fall Down after being warned away by some of my GR friends reviews - sad because I love Heist Society too."

How was her..."

I've read the first book and I liked it, although not as much as Heist Society :)

[Elora]

Jenny, did you read the Embassy Row series? And if so, is GG better?

[[deleted user]]

I agree, Heist society is defently her better series.
gg was good but not great.
embassy row,eehhh.. might read book 2 and 3 but am in no hurry.

[Elora]

Thanks! I'll give it a try. I loved Heist Society, but "ehh" is the perfect way to describe Embassy Row.
I enjoy a nice easy read from time to time, but I'm really picky :/

being picky is good, thats means you appriciate great stories and prioritize them. I dnf-books all the time, I dont have time for bad books. Also its fun to reread sometimes.

[Jenny]

Elora wrote: "Jenny, did you read the Embassy Row series? And if so, is GG better?"

Yes, GG is better than Embassy Row, although I've only read the first book.

[Elora]

Thanks, Jenny!

[Heidi]

I also read the first GG book and thought it was decent - it was definitely more middle grade due to their ages than Heist Society but a nice light read all in all. p.s. I am also super picky Elora

[Jenny]

Finished which I loved, and also my reread of which I loved!

Next I'm reading

[Becky]

Started

So far, so good. Nice to have only one POV after the Heroes of Olympus.

[Ashley Marie]

started yesterday after finishing
safe to say I'm on a historical fiction kick, although Rifka is a quick read -- if I had started before 9pm I would've finished it in one sitting yesterday.

Becky wrote: "Started

Yay! I really liked that book. And I agree, it was nice to have just one point of view again. I also think I prefer Rick's first-person writing over his third-person writing.

Ashley, I would love to hear what you think of when you are finished.

[Dixie]

I just finished Found , which was a good sci-fi adventure for younger -maybe middle schoolish?-readers. Now I am in the middle of Me Before You . I couldn't imagine what the hype was all about until I started this book. So good! I think her writing is so good; it really brings each scene alive! I'm halfway through and know what I'll be doing later today! :)

[Jenny]

The writing in Me Before You is very good! The story itself is intriguing...but I have to say, I did not like the ending. (view spoiler)[ I can't imagine what it would be like to be a paraplegic, but I still think it was selfish and rather shitty of him to do what he did. That poor girl! She confesses her love, and he confesses his, but basically says she's not "good enough to live for..." OUCH!!! (hide spoiler)]

I was finally able to read anf finish...



I don't know, I guess I'm one of the few who just doesnt love this series. I mean its good, but not amazing like everyone says it is.

Anyways, since I'm not reading this month's hidden gem, decided to start on...


Audio is actually quite nice. Enjoying it, but I think it's a little bit too long.

[Elora]

Just started
It's got a vibe to it, but much darker. I have a feeling I'm going to be deliciously scared at things going bump in the night!

I think the audio of Lunar Chronicles and Thorne are what I made me love the series :)

So excited to see your thoughts on Monstrumologist. It is one of my all time favorite series. Book two is phenomenal.

[[deleted user]]

I finished wow, blown away by it.

is my next read.

[Brigid ✩]

@Elora - I'm so happy you're reading The Monstrumologist! Haha yeah, it is very scary indeed. I recommend not reading it before bed or while you're eating (two mistakes I made when I was reading it, lol). ;) I agree with Heidi––it's also one of my favorite series, and the second book is also my favorite of them I think. I need to re-read them!

[Jenny]

Finished YOWZA, only took me a week! (That's a long time for me!) This series is only a duology, so I think she actually squeezed 2 books into this last book. It was over 500 pages, and a very dense read. But, I did like it! Lots was happening! I wished I'd liked this series as much as "Incarnate", but it was still a fun fantasy for me!

Also finished which I really liked, I think my fave of the series yet! I did see the twist coming, though. I'm hoping to finally finish up this series soon!

Next I'm reading and

Thank you for the warning, as I was going to read it tonight over dessert before I went to bed. I'll pick something else up instead! :)

[Heidi]

Jenny I have To All the Boys in my audible library - let me know what you think of it please :)

[Brigid ✩]

I liked To All the Boys––it was a sweet book. :) Interested to hear your thoughts on it, Jenny!

[Heidi]

Thanks for the update Brigid. We have similar tastes so that makes me excited to read it.
