Juburkasaurus (julieburk) Currently reading The Mane Event (Pride, #1) by Shelly Laurenston and so far I am loving it. I haven't laughed out loud that much in a while. After that I have no idea what I will read. Any suggestions are appreciated though.

Keep on in that series and you will find more of the same. You can also check out that author's alter ego,
G.A. Aiken, they are in the same vein.

Sonia (darktalynn) Gin wrote: "@Sonia How was Alice in Zombieland (White Rabbit Chronicles, #1) by Gena Showalter


I'm still reading it, not as good as Daughter of Smoke & Bone, but I'm liking it so far. Alice is a normal teenage girl, that suddenly sees her entire world upside down... the way that life continues normal, problems, school, and when bizarre things occur and she tries to get some rational explanation and at same time starts questioning her mental health sounds very... real...

I wasn't that into it because the only book from Gena Showalter I've tried was Playing with Fire and the heroine was so annoying that I gave up after 4 ou 5 chapters - I just couldn't stand her. But so far, Alice isn't that bad... ok, so it has boy drama, high school drama, and a potential love triangle like almost all YA books - seriously, what's the appeal? - and some stalkierish behavior paired with the "you're too pretty and weak to know what is best for you so shut up and do as I say" speech - again, what's the appeal? - But the action isn't like now life is normal...splash... now is not, on the contrary, she's evolving gradually, we don't have a "supernatural exists so deal with it" information dump, and I think is that particularity that is captivating me. But, I only read 1/3 of the book, so I can't say that much...


message 3808: by Gin (new)

Gin | 338 comments I'll be interested to hear what you think in the end Sonia.


I just finished a reread of Mark of the Demon (Kara Gillian, #1) by Diana Rowland and I think I liked it better the second time around.
Now I'm starting Killbox (Sirantha Jax, #4) by Ann Aguirre . I have high hopes for this one, as I loved the third.

Thanks Darcy, I will totally go and get the other books in the Pride series.

Until then I will finish reading the Shifters series by Rachael Vincent.


message 3813: by Anika (new)

Anika (teddybear1) | 56 comments Finished The Shattered Dark (McKenzie Lewis, #2) by Sandy Williams , Desperately Seeking Shapeshifter (Midnight Liaisons, #2) by Jessica Sims and No Money Down (Lexi Carmichael Mystery, #3) by Julie Moffett .
Thinking of re-reading the Raised by Wolves (Raised by Wolves, #1) by Jennifer Lynn Barnes series.


message 3814: by Sonia (new)

Sonia (darktalynn) Just finished Alice in Zombieland (White Rabbit Chronicles, #1) by Gena Showalter 3,5 stars for me

@Gin - I liked more than I'd expected, but is a typical YA setting - school, boys, parents who allow theirs children fight with monsters and a satisfactorial plot - I didn't suspect who the bad guy was, but maybe I'm losing qualities :o)
I thibk I'll continue the series - after all I thought it was better than House of Night and Dark Elite series, I'd say at the same level of the Mortal Instruments series IMO

Glad you like it. It sounds like it might be a little too YA for, but I think I'll still get to it at some point.


message 3818: by Dawn, Desperately seeking new worlds (new)

Dawn (dawnv) | 4058 comments I just finished Time Untime and you know it was kind of a weird one. I was not really a fan of the last one and this one was not much better.


message 3819: by Sonia (new)

Have you finished yet? :o)
How is it?

I know I should finish the ones I'm currently reading now, but I don't know if I can wait :D


message 3823: by Gin (new)

Gin | 338 comments @Sonia I looooove it!! I put down the book I was reading to start it; I couldn't wait either. I'm trying to take it slow, so that it doesn't end. I'm about half through now. It is a lot darker and more emotional than the first, but just as beautifully written. Let me know what you think when you start.


message 3824: by Sonia (new)

Sonia (darktalynn) @Gin I was deciding what to do and almost pick it up but a friend of mine that is half through Daughter of Smoke & Bone asked me to wait for him for a buddy read and I said yes *cries a little* so I'm biting my nails and trying very hard not to prompt "r u finish yet! r u finish yet!" but is so not easy!!!

More emotional? Oh dear.. if I had to choose one single word about the first one it would be heartbreaking - yeah, I know, I'm too old for that kind of girlish attitude, but I don't care - Now I'm even more impatient to read it. Thankfully, Seraphina is catching my interest right now, so I'll be entertained while waiting :o)


message 3825: by Gin (new)

Gin | 338 comments @Sonia Yes waiting is extremely hard; especially after the ending of the first book. It picks up where it left off, which I suppose is exactly where the heartbreaking part started.
How is Seraphina (Seraphina, #1) by Rachel Hartman ? I've been considering reading that one.


message 3826: by Sonia (new)

Sonia (darktalynn) @Gin Seraphina is amazing! I usually don't read high fantasy books - I used to be an huge Juliet Marillier fan but since I've discovered UF genre it kinda lost the appeal - but this one is so well written and the characters so appealing that I'm really really enjoying it. The plot is very solid, the world-building is amazing and the story-line is not rushed but doesn't pace slowly either, and all the small details... I usually only reserve the 5 stars rating for those books that I can't put down from beginning to end, but this one, so far is a 4.5.

I decided to give it a chance after reading the short-story The Audition - we can have "a first feel" of the characters and a sample of the writing, although in a younger/lighter tone

I'll give The Audition a try. I need some dragon books for a challenge anyway.

:o)

It is a light read - Seraphina is a tad more complex tale, but The Audition is a good introduction to Seraphina's world.

I am glad you liked it!


message 3831: by David (new)

David Mackey | 10 comments So, I am reading Something Witchy by AJ Myers, and holee jebus! This one is a really good read, and I am not one to usually go googly for YA PNR. Still, it is well written, and keeps the tension up nicely. The advantage of being part of Parasite Publications is that I get to grab the books before they go out, but this one releases tomorrow on November 15th. It is a really fun read and a real seat grabber too. I am told if you manage to grab it in the first few days (15th to the 18th I think) you can get it for a buck as they want to help get it out there. I highly recommend it and hey, it is inexpensive to boot.

I love the Iron Druid series it is my favorite books I have read this year and the October Daye series is right up there too. Can't believe I came that to the party on these amazing books.

Dawn (dawnv) | 4058 comments Just finished Magic Dreams (Kate Daniels, #4.5) by Ilona Andrews Jabril (Vampires in America, #2) by D.B. Reynolds Mate Claimed (Shifters Unbound, #4) by Jennifer Ashley
All of them were quite good. I think Jabril really threw me I totally thought it was going to be a love triangle but I loved how things worked out :-)

Now reading The Darkest Seduction (Lords of the Underworld, #9) by Gena Showalter I am still at a loss though as to this attraction between Paris and Sienna...we shall see what Ms. Showalter does with it...
