Is that bad, Ashley? You could easily just read 6 books that have been on your TBR forever :)

Diane | 1234 comments How are you liking that series? I read the first one and liked it a lot but never got to the next. I keep thinking I have to pick it back up but other books get in the way.


message 56: by Hillary (last edited Oct 20, 2016 06:37PM) (new)

Hillary (eledri) | 759 comments I like the series. I didn't like Tricked as much I've liked the others but I did enjoy it. Oberon is awesome and only gets better as things progress. The series is worth continuing. I'm sad it took me so long to get back into it, but am happy to be in it again.

I think it is never too late to start. Besides we are still in the first month so you have plenty of time to finish. Gremlin will just have to add your name.

Glad to hear that! This is fun, and it's really comforting to know I'm not the only one with books in all these categories! Lol!

I'm slogging through Uncommon criminals at the moment and it's not it's bad or anything but I'm just not that into it. I realise why I put this series to the side ages ago and wondering whether I should continue or not. Is number 3 any better?

I actually thought uncommon criminals was okay. Perfect scoundrels is (for me) on the bad side. I got very frustrated with the characters. If you're dying to see how the series wraps up, then I would read it. At least they aren't too long!


message 69: by Christie (new)

Christie (cereale) Finished my 2nd Outpost (Razorland, #2) by Ann Aguirre . This is a series that I began but have not read in 6 months. Updated post #10.

Lol this is true. I dunno, I think I like it when I can do challenges evenly. This one feels very one-sided haha!

message 77: by Barb (new)

Barb Finished my 4th - The Raven Boys (The Raven Cycle, #1) by Maggie Stiefvater

I started reading this as an ebook last June, but just couldn't get into it. I discovered my library offered hoopla, so I listened to it instead, and it was much more engrossing that way.

Updated post 17.

He really did. Though the music restarts right at the very end, and I nearly jumped out of my skin! Totally startled me.

ooooh I didn't find the audio for these until book 3, but I agree, I really enjoyed Will Patton!

Yeah I have come to expect that from anything by Maggie. If you haven't read the Scorpio Races, try that in audio. It is good as well.

It's pretty high up there on my list too! I loved Steve West's narration. The woman wasn't bad either but his parts stuck in my head. I don't think I would have liked the book nearly as much had I not listened to the audio. I may even have to re-listen...hm...


message 88: by Amber (new)

Amber (amberm867) Finished # 3 : The Forgotten Sisters (Princess Academy, #3) by Shannon Hale - another series. This is probably middle-grade.

It was really good!
