Jenny (juliababyjen) | 1075 comments I finished Alex and Eliza (Alex & Eliza, #1) by Melissa de la Cruz 4 stars, it was a fun fictional read about a historical couple

Finished The Magicians (The Magicians #1) by Lev Grossman 3 stars I wish I could have liked this one more, but its just wasn't my thing sadly. The first half was pretty good, but it went downhill in the 2nd half.

Everything I Never Told You by Celeste Ng 4.5 stars, loved this, it was so good! So happy I'm meeting the author this weekend :)

Next I'm reading Wicked Lovely (Wicked Lovely, #1) by Melissa Marr and Labyrinth Lost (Brooklyn Brujas, #1) by Zoraida Córdova

I find that I enjoy historical romance more than contemporary Jenny. Have you read any Jayne Ann Krentz books? Love her!

Ok Laura, that’s a little scary. Isn’t this one about Dani? I’m not really into her story anyway so I’m afraid to read this one.

I loved The Dark Calling (The Arcana Chronicles, #5) by Kresley Cole . I can't wait to see how the author ties everything up in the last book.

Teresa | 606 comments I'm reading The Bird and the Sword (The Bird and the Sword Chronicles, #1) by Amy Harmon and I'm really enjoying it so far. This will be my second Amy Harmon book and I've got to say I really enjoy her stuff.


message 276: by Sana (last edited Mar 20, 2018 03:33AM) (new)

Sana Zameer (sanazameer) Read a few HR If You Desire (MacCarrick Brothers, #2) by Kresley Cole If You Deceive (MacCarrick Brothers, #3) by Kresley Cole The Secret (Highlands' Lairds #1) by Julie Garwood

Finished Gentleman Nine by Penelope Ward That cover, swoon!!. It was an okay read.

Unzipped (A Chrissy McMullen Mystery, #1) by Lois Greiman was a let down. I might read the second book to see if it gets better. Usually don't enjoy cozy mystery.
An Evil Mind (Robert Hunter, #6) by Chris Carter Another brilliant one by Chris Carter

Finally read The Last Star (The 5th Wave, #3) by Rick Yancey I enjoyed The Fifth Wave but didn't like the second book. I kinda lost interest in this series
Illuminae (The Illuminae Files, #1) by Amie Kaufman Wow, I'm not sure if I've read something like this before. Fantastic Highly recommended for every Scifi lover.

Coming back to my favorite genre- Urban Fantasy I'm nearly done with God of Wine (Immortal Matchmakers, Inc., #3) by Mimi Jean Pamfiloff and soon to start Nice Girls Don't Bite Their Neighbors (Jane Jameson, #4) by Molly Harper Succubus Blues (Georgina Kincaid, #1) by Richelle Mead

If you havent tried audios yet Sylvia I think you will get the full effect of just how brilliant audios are with the Illuminae (The Illuminae Files, #1) by Amie Kaufman series! Absolutely brilliant ! You get the full effect!

I have been saying for years I will try audios but never have...for some reason I find it would be harder for me to concentrate, especially when I like to read while putting my youngest to sleep.

If you ever do I would suggest this series or The Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater this book is just brilliant and the sound effects , the music it all just brings you right into the story! I know there are more but these two I highly recommend.

Good Me, Bad Me by Ali Land this one also is Ah-Mazing! with the effects but in a creepy vibe!



message 300: by Laura (new)

Laura  (llbasaldua) | 790 comments Started People Like Us by Dana Mele YA Psychological Thriller

Is kinda like One of Us Is Lying by Karen M. McManus which I thought was Brilliant!

Then on to Restore Me (Shatter Me, #4) by Tahereh Mafi I want to see where Mafi takes this story so I know if I'll be continuing the series.
