Jacquelyn (jacquelynreads) | 18790 comments How did you like E&P?


message 152: by Jessica (new)

Jessica | 729 comments It was good! I really liked the writing and I thought the romance and the characters were really cute. However, I liked the first half of the book a lot better than the second. I think I had too high expectations because I heard so many amazing things about it, but I don't think it was as good as everyone says it is. I did enjoy it though and I'm glad I read it. :)

Jacquelyn (jacquelynreads) | 18790 comments That's good, Jessica! :) Enjoy Parallel!

I just finished two novellas and am now ready to start Sky on Fire (Monument 14, #2) by Emmy Laybourne


message 154: by Jessica (new)

Jessica | 729 comments Thank you, I hope I will!

Have you read any of Rainbow Rowell's other books? I have Fangirl and Attachments coming in the mail, probably next week. If you have, what did you think of them?


message 155: by Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd (new)

Jacquelyn (jacquelynreads) | 18790 comments I have read Fangirl! I rated that 5 stars as well but I liked E&P better. I have Attachments on my Kindle but haven't read it yet. Her new book, Landline by Rainbow Rowell just came out today!


message 156: by Jessica (new)

Jessica | 729 comments I know! Hopefully I'll get that soon too. It sounds pretty good.

Mandiann (goodreadscommandiann) | 6882 comments Fangirl was my favourite but I enjoyed E&P and Attachments as well. I look forward to reading Landline soon.

Mandiann (goodreadscommandiann) | 6882 comments I started Everybody Sees the Ants by A.S. King in audio and will be starting Sky on Fire (Monument 14, #2) by Emmy Laybourne once I am done all my chores that need doing.

Amanda | 4527 comments Fangirl was my favorite too. I liked E&P though. I have not read Attachments yet and I just got an email saying Landline was ready to pick up at the library. Yay!


ilovebakedgoods (Teresa) (ilovebakedgoods) Finished Golden this morning and now I'm onto Moonglass, same author. I enjoyed Golden and so far, I am liking Moonglass. Time to get credit for the bonus challenge things now!

Awesome, Noel!


message 165: by Vicki (new)

Vicki (goodreadscomboobooper49) | 31156 comments Hey, Jacque, what would Undone (Unraveling, #1.5) by Elizabeth Norris count as for points? Is it considered a sequel since it's a 1.5 book?

No, we count them as prequels/manga since they are usually short.

Hello! :)

Mehsi Finally found some time to update my reading list for the readathon and to post here. :)

How are you doing Jacquelyn?


message 174: by Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd (new)

Jacquelyn (jacquelynreads) | 18790 comments Awesome! :)

I am doing great! Been having a great time marathoning the Monument 14 series. :) How about you?


message 175: by Mehsi (last edited Jul 09, 2014 12:42PM) (new)

Mehsi Good to hear that, and oh Monument 14 series. That was such a wonderful, great series, hope you enjoy them!

I am doing fine, just a slight headache that won't go away. Trying to get through Pride and Prejudice Manga, hoping to be done soon (it is a book I need to review). Then I can start reading Best Friends Forever (You're Invited to a Creepover, #6) by P.J. Night and the few other books I got from that series.

message 178: by Trinity (new)

Trinity How are you doing so far on the readathon, Mehsi?


message 179: by Mehsi (new)

Mehsi So far I am doing great. Really having fun and trying to find some nice books to read. Luckily I got quite a nice stack of new manga and that one book series I just mentioned in my previous post to Jacquelyn. :)

How are you doing?

I just need to read the 3rd book in the series and I will be finished. :)

I also had a headache this morning. It was a killer one! Hope you feel better! :)

Enjoy your books when you get to them!

Oh the third one was really great, I loved the ending, enjoy! :)

Ouch, sorry to hear that, hopefully it is completely gone now. I truly hate headaches, you can't do much when you have them. Thanks.

Thanks, I hope they will be just as good as the first book in the series. :)


message 183: by Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd (new)

Jacquelyn (jacquelynreads) | 18790 comments Thanks!

I know! Especially reading! I hate headaches! :/

I hope so too for you! :)


message 184: by Mehsi (new)

Mehsi You're welcome.

And especially that, I don't mind if I can read, but headaches and reading don't go together. :(

Thanks!

And now I shall be off to bed. See you and everyone else tomorrow again. Enjoy your books!
