Shelf #1 ~ Futuristic Romance
Book: Red Rising
Author: Pierce Brown
Read: 3/16/18
Pages: 400
Rated: 4 stars

What a surprise! Pierce Brown is a fantastic author. By all rites this book should of been a DNF for me. It is not my favorite genre. The book is Hunger games on Mars, but much more. I kept reading!!! There were numerous physical fights, not something I usually read.....but yet I kept reading. Somehow , I became invested in the characters and what was happening. I did not have to force myself to read this book. I can only think that Mr. Brown is a master!!! I will definitely read the next book.

Book: The Trouble with Twelfth Grave by Darynda Jones
Pages: 289
Shelf: Free Space
Read: 3.17.18
Rating: ★★★★
Review:

I'm going to keep this spoiler free, because it is the 12th book in a series. I gave this book 4 stars because I love this series, and while I didn't really love this book as much as the others, I still think Darynda Jones has a way with shocking her readers. There were definitely things I did not expect, but there are still so many questions to be answered! I really don't know how she will wrap up the whole series in the next book! The ending was a big cliffhanger, and I'm really intrigued and excited about the next book! I really can't see how this will end.

I'll just get it done much sooner than Acowar and I can't get behind any more. How long until shelf call?

[Maddie]

And I edited my Immortal Shelf selection, that okay?

[Maddie]

I'm going to pause my current audio to listen to my Free Space so I don't get kicked out because I'm already 3 books selected and none read yet.

[Sarah]

Shelf call is tomorrow at 4 pm PST because of the time change

[☼♎ Carmen the Bootyshaker Temptress ☼♎]

I'll fix your picks Maddison

[Maddie]

Okay so I've gotta have my Free Space done in 19 hours. I'll have that done by then. It's a shorty. And I also plan to finish Acowar by the end of the month. I'll also get into my futuristic romance on audio after my free space.

Review: This one felt super short! Nothing really happened! At least we did learn about (view spoiler)[how Mr Crepsley got his scar. Interesting. (hide spoiler)] And we went back to (view spoiler)[the Cirque to see Evra again! And he's got kids now. So strange, especially the name of his son, Shankus. I definitely wouldn't name my kid that XD (hide spoiler)]
Who knows when I'll get to the next one, but I will see where they go next.

[Maddie]

I did it :D Got it finished XD

[Leslie Ann]

I would like to read
Tricked
for the part of a series call.
I can't find it on the list, but Hounded is on the list?
would this be okay

[Maddie]

Is that the next call, part of a series? That should be easy

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Leslie, 9 people marked Tricked as Part of a Series. So yes its ok :)

[Sarah]

I'll be reading If I Stay by Gayle Forman for the Part of a Series shelf.

[Maddie]

Am I supposed to just know what the shelf call is? Because it hasn't been posted here yet has it?

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Well, it should've been posted but you can always look at the shelf announcement thread Maddison.

Book: No Rest for the Wicked by Kresley Cole
Pages: 356
Shelf: Immortals
Read: 3.22.18
Rating: ★★★★
Review:

I have liked every book I've read from this series. I found the beginning to be a little rushed, but it makes sense at the end, because of Kaderin's hesitancy with Sebastian. I find Cole's mythology to be very intriguing and I like that there are creatures/beings that you normally wouldn't find in PNR. I appreciate the details, and how fleshed out the characters are. If you haven't read this series I highly recommend it, I've already ordered the next four off of PaperbackSwap.

[Maddie]

Guys my reading is so terrible lately :/ I really can't even finish off Acomaf, let alone get to Acowar :/ I'm going to change that again at some point.

[Maddie]

I'll finish my current audio tomorrow and get started on Last Kiss Goodnight (futurustic romance). Am I still able to change Immortals again?

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Of course Maddison :)

[Maddie]

Okay thanks. I have an idea of what I'll listen to, just got to check it's tagged immortals.

[Maddie]

And it isn't. How crazy, seeing as it's a vampire book... Bummer.

[Maddie]

I'll think of something.

[Leslie Ann]

I am afraid I will have to add The Alchemyst to my DNF shelf. I have been trying to slog through it but I cant seem to get it done. Instead I choose First Grave on the Right. Sorry guys

Review:

I have not seen the movie so I don't know how the two compare. However, I really liked the concept and I do enjoy Gayle Forman's writing. This isn't the first book, and won't be the last I've read by her. I also don't think it's the best one I've read. It is a very simple book, very easy to read. It is emotional, and I think that's what pushed me to rating it 4 stars instead of 3. I have the next book and will read it, so I do enjoy the characters.
