Thanks Tessa, I actually was just looking up your rating as you posted, because I thought you'd posted about it!

[Tessa]

:) It's just not as good as her other series have been. I probably have less sympathy because a lot of my family has his "issue" and to me, it just isn't that big of a deal.

[Jan]

I haven't started mine yet :/ (Love In English)

[Nay]

Me either

[Jan]

*hugs Renee*

[Ela]

I change my pick for Tessa to Arsen!

[Ela]

I'm not feeling Red Rising *shrugs* it took me 3 tries to read The Hunger Games and I loved it...

[Tessa]

lol, I don't even own it. I only had a sample. I haven't read red rising or The Hunger Games yet either Ela. I do have Red Rising though. Actually, before December I have to read Brandon Sandberson's Mistborn. I told my sister in law she could read it after I was done. *hides* Back in August.

[Ela]

I'll buy it for you!

[Tessa]

Lol Maybe one day. I honestly have to read a lot of books currently. Anne Bishop's Belladonna, Edge of Destiny, The Thief, Sea of Shadows... Which is why I'm reading none of them and reading a shiny from last week.

[Jan]

Haha Tessa. I feel you.

[Grey]

Tessa, lemme see if I can loan it to you when I get home.

*gasp* for shame!!!

[Leslie]

The Hunger Games!!!!! Gah!!! I hate that genre....so not my thing...and I FREAKING LOVE that series.

In fact, I just read something today that said top ten kindle books sold ever and all 3 HG books were on it. Along with FSoG.

It won't let me lend it... boo... sorry Tessa, but I'd be willing to break my no-buy first couple of weeks of November too. LOL!

We should just all share one kindle account. It would be so much easier LOL!

[Kooloo]

What are you trying to loan to Tessa

[Tessa]

Lol I am swamped. I went to read a book I just got on loan from the library and then got an email stating Moonshine had three more borrow days. I gotta avoid shinies!

[Ela]

Tessa ALONG WITH YOU HAVE TO READ ARSEN...

[Grey]

I was trying to loan her Arsen...LOL

[Tessa]

:) I'll get it eventually. I really do have a lot I have to read. These books are becoming due. Though, okay, the loan from the library I have three weeks. It's just Seanan McGuire!

[Jan]

I liked the first Hunger Games book OK, although YA's not really my thing. But I tried reading the second one and I was over it by then and think I dnf'ed.

[Jean]

5++++ stars for me with One True Loves.....i just haven't written my review yet.

Arsen.....yeah, that one is a MUST read.

[Leslie]

I gotta read One True Loves!

[Nay]

Leslie--YES, you do!

[Leslie]

Maybe I will put it on Dec pick for me. I am just not sure if I will be in mood for crying. Robin made it sound like lots of tears.

[Melinda]

Yes, you do Leslie it's fantastic, unforgettable.

[Paula]

I want to read it too but it is a bit too expensive for me at the moment - I have never read any of TJR's books as they usually have a high price point

[Leslie]

I would never spend that much on a book!! I get TJRs books from library.

[Melinda]

They are sooo worth it. Every single one.

[Ela]

I'm actually really getting into Red Rising and loving it...

[Kooloo]

Well you didn't miss much - I couldn't make it past 20%

[Ela]

Red Rising = 5 stars

[Kooloo]

OMG yay!!!!
