Greta Oh, once again I noticed the book I picked is over 700 pages...so, to save me some stress, I am going to read Shiver (The Wolves of Mercy Falls, #1) by Maggie Stiefvater by Maggie Stiefvater. I think I have changed my mind every week just about!!


message 306: by Michelle (new)

Michelle (michelle_mc) I think I am going to read How to Drive a Dragon Crazy (Dragon Kin, #6) by G.A. Aiken , it's the 6th book in a series!

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5307 comments Finished my book but need to just review it, be up tomorrow.


message 308: by Jenne (new)

Jenne  (jennetheinstigator) | 7439 comments I still haven't decided what I'm reading. I finished EIT last night. I'm trying a zombie book with no romance today for SSS. Figured I needed to do a 180. I'll more than likely go with the alternate though. No worries I'll be done in time, I'm a fast reader.


message 309: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5307 comments I've only finished mine so fast because it was a BR as well.


message 310: by Greta (new)

Greta I'm done with mine too, but I'll probably wait a day or so to review it. I have another book I'm trying to get done right away.

Review

This book goes in with a bit of a kick, we follow a few days in the life of Ryan Dean (that's his first name, no hyphen!) He is bullied, picked on, and has his head shoved down the toilet, and that's just the 1st chapter!

He is also in the O wing at school for naughty boys and shares a room with a bully.
He has good friends as well though, oh and he's in love with his best friend Annie, who thinks of him as a kid!

This book is funny and had some real laugh out loud moments, especially screaming Nedd, which I actually had to rewind and listen to again as it was so funny!

Think about what goes on in a teenage mind....yep it's all there.

And then BAM! I didn't know it was coming and it didn't warn me...........and I cried.

A really good fun, sad read.

Review
Third in a series that just keeps getting better. This one focuses on Mercy's attempts to assist her friend and mentor Zee, whom she feels has been falsely accused of murder. Her personal life also becomes the focus as she comes closer to choosing between Samuel and Adam. So far this has been my favorite of this series.

Book Read: Shiver (The Wolves of Mercy Falls, #1) by Maggie Stiefvater by Maggie Stiefvater
Completed: 10/19/14
Rating: 3.5 stars

Review: I enjoyed this book and am looking forward to reading more books in the series. I liked Grace and Sam's characters and since I'm from Minnesota I thought it was fun that it was set in my home state. I liked the twist that the wolves gradually lose their ability to change into humans. I loved the ending and am so curious to read what happens next! I'm not sure why I didn't rate it higher, it was good, but just not amazing to me either.

Jenne  (jennetheinstigator) | 7439 comments I started mine this morning, I'll be done this afternoon or this evening at the latest. Reading Wanted Dead or Undead (The Zombie West Series, #1) by Angela Scott for the alternate.


message 318: by Michelle (last edited Oct 23, 2014 09:06AM) (new)

Michelle (michelle_mc) I'm still reading mine, should be done in the next couple of hours though.

How to Drive a Dragon Crazy (Dragon Kin, #6) by G.A. Aiken Dragon Kin #6

Read: 23/10/14
Rated: 5 Stars

My Review: I kept putting off reading this one, partially because there wouldn't be another one for awhile and partially because I was worried Izzy & Éibhear's tale wouldn't live up to my expectations. I shouldn't have worried though cause it was just as violent and funny as the rest of the series and Izzy really made him work for it.

I loved how we got to know more about Izzy's relatives and there was lots of plot developments opening up the books for more stories and lots of new characters & clans for us to get to know. The end has me eager for the next one now, G.A always surprises me and the ending has opened up lots of possibilities and I have no idea what to expect now. It's one of the main things I enjoy about the books whether they are written as G.A or Shelly, they are always unpredictable!

Review:
This was interesting, zombies, romance, and a western lol. Fast paced quick read and I connected with the characters (a must!). I think if you enjoyed Karina Halle's Donners of the Dead, you'd like this. I will be reading more from this series in the new future since not everything was answered about this eclectic makeshift family!


message 322: by Jenne (new)

Jenne  (jennetheinstigator) | 7439 comments Ok peeps cross your fingers the three teams that have a shot at winning tomorrow, roll small!


message 323: by VNerdbooks (new)

Well we rolled 6+5=11
Landed on spot #74

message 324: by Michelle (new)

Michelle (michelle_mc) I hate when the comments disappear. Think I'm going to go with Light My Fire (Dragon Kin, #7) by G.A. Aiken , it's book 7 in the Dragon Kin series.


message 325: by Greta (new)

Greta So even though two teams are past 75 you think we should read the book for the week? Just curious...


message 326: by Jenne (new)

Jenne  (jennetheinstigator) | 7439 comments It's up to us, if there's not a winner (unlikely) we'd roll Friday. If that were to happen we do have our free pass. I'll read something because I feel funny not doing so lol. It's totally up to the individual :)


message 327: by Greta (new)

Greta Ok, thanks for explaining Jenne. I think I will read my book for my other team challenge first & then for this one. I have been doing it the other way around but this way if one of the teams finishes mid week I may not read this one.


message 328: by Michelle (new)

Michelle (michelle_mc) I was going to read mine as it's the follow up to the book I read yesterday and I want to read it anyway.


message 329: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5307 comments So do I need to choose a book, or is there a winner already?
Sorry been out singing so haven't been keeping up.


message 330: by Jenne (new)

Jenne  (jennetheinstigator) | 7439 comments It's up to you, technically no one has won yet but we have two teams that can provided they finish by the next roll.


message 331: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5307 comments I'll still read then, otherwise I'll be all out-of-sorts, I can't just read a book for the fun of it you know, there needs to be a reason for my choice of book lol.


message 332: by VNerdbooks (last edited Oct 25, 2014 12:17AM) (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5307 comments I'll read Seducing Cinderella (Fighting for Love, #1) by Gina L. Maxwell on the DNF shelf.
