Maybe I'll wait till all three are out!
@Pansy: That's the reason why I want to live in a different country... maybe one day.Oh what I forgot to say: The book splitting is only with BDB. LOTO sometimes has many bad translations - but they're good to read (and not splitted). DH... dunno - still waiting for more. Need to buy all books from 9-.... 20? in english. They seem to need need centuries to translate and publish in german *sigh*

BIG cliffhanger. Seriously wait til the next one is out...or maybe the one after that. I wish I hadn't read it. As far as
. Not really a cliffhanger...more of complete and utter heartbreak. :( I don't even want to read the next one.I'm starting up
before I pass out. I need happy thoughts in my head. Please tell me I can get happy thoughts from it!
Ive just finished Iron Crowned by Richelle Mead, now Im up to Pale Demon by Kim Harrison :)

I'm well invested in LOTU, Breed and Highlander. Still have not started on IAD but heard many great things about it. Definitely a must read. I'd hit Highlander first bc it's pretty much completed unless Moning changed her heart and endow us more of her talent. I'd read anything from Moning.
I just finished
but I'm wondering if I need to read them in order or can I just read any book in the series? A little help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Francesca! Looks like I'll be ordering the next book very soon!
I'm currently reading Dark Enchantment and I'm about halfway through. Though the book started off strong, I'm sort of losing interest, it's kind of lagging a bit. Maybe it will start to pick up speed again.

almost makes me want to not read it, it should be here in the next few days or so.
finished
and read
and now reading
I just finished "Hard Bitten" of the "Chicagoland Vampires" and now I'm about to start reading "Midnight Sun" then as soon as I finish that I will start City of Bones of the Mortal Instruments!
OMG! Everyone keeps freaking me out about

I keep hearing rumblings that Eric and Sookie break-up in this one...I haven't got that far yet though. If they do break-up, I hope they get back together before the end of the series....

I really like the Highlander series! I wasn't too sure about the heroine in the first one, but then I felt like they got easier to relate to. And the Scottish brogue got easier to understand. Now sometimes I catch myself thinking a thought in my head in brogue- for reals... that can't be good.
I did just recently find out that my ancestors are Highlanders, there was a castle that was in the family line until 1940 or so when it was auctioned off and bought by the Egyptian man who owns Harrod's dept stores in England. Weird! Our branch of that family tree ended with my great grandmother who had only daughters. We're the Ross clan.

As soon as you get the chance, you need to read it. It is so good. You will be laughing the whole time. It's sexy, funny, and just enough suspense to keep you going.

Have fun
scratch that. i'm starting mortal instruments now. read midnight sun later.So far Jace is totally into her, even though... he hasn't specifically said so. Well, he is kind of like. Well, its just that... Well, I mean... IT'S IN HIS BODY LANGUAGE!
shut up! just shut up!

Hahaha... Are you talking to yourself... Uh.. Typing to yourself, I mean. Are you just now starting Mortal Instraments??? I envy you! I wish I could read them for the first time again. I LOVE THEM! I know I am super dorky, but whatever :)
Should Mortal Instruments be in my TBR pile? Will add.
Magda wrote: "Should Mortal Instruments be in my TBR pile? Will add."Oh yes... Everyone, and I do mean every single person, should read The Mortal Instraments series. It's seriously awesome :)
Lindsay wrote: "Robin wrote: "Crazy4more wrote: "Lindsay wrote: "Finished and now reading ...."That's really awesome Lindsay. Scottish men are my favs and i so want to visit Scotland and i'd so love a castle, or at least have had some family who owned one =)
Okay, I just finished
. So, it's not a cliffhanger really, but it makes you ache for the next book in a big way. I'm just... heartbroken. Though I think something will happen, like a Karen Moning type thing - gone, but not gone. Anywhoo, I DEFINITELY don't want to read
if the cliffhanger is much worse. I love reading books that are a part of a series. I love the continuation of characters and the storyline and whatnot. But I really hate the waiting between each book. Can they not just write the whole thing and then just release them about a month apart? Lol.
I think I'm going to skip Mortal Instruments #4 AGAIN and go on to
for now. I read the first 100 pages of Divergent and it was good, I may read that next too. I'm just really avoiding City of Fallen Angels right now lol.
Oh, and with Dead Reckoning, major things happen. I'm not happy about how it played out, BUT I'm glad major things happened so at least the story is really going somewhere. I think she's getting ready for the end of the series and wrapping up loose ends. So for those who were disappointed about the last book sort of being a "filler" book, a book that didn't really add/take-away from the series, I think you will like this book.

I also think Chicagoland Vamps will be a shadow fever situation...Chloe Neill made a comment on her blog that made me think that to be true! I haven't read it yet, but I didn't want to go forward if it was going to be a horible ending, but I think I will go ahead and give it a try:)

OK I added to the LIST ugh when will I ever read the LIST
@Robin: Oh I know what you mean... added so many books - still don't know when I'll be able to read everything. And I don't have enough space in my living-room for all the books, lol (I prefer paperback)
Just started Boneshaker by Cherie Priest and Starfire by Kate Douglas.
Lyndsey wrote: "I finally bought and boy is it yummy! The heroine is a bit of a cry baby but other than that I love it!"I loved that book!
Magda wrote: "Finished

and both were lackluster to me. I need a book with Passion & ROMANCE! Any recommendations?"
Magda - Just so you know the Fever books are to be read like one big book. There is Romance and a HEA but you have to read all of them. I loved them, but you have to decide if that is worth it for you. There are 5 books I believe. Check out Moning Maniacs on goodreads.
If you're looking for something with passion and romance then you should try Demon Possession. It's one of my favorite reads of this year. Lots of passion, and the story line/characters are well developed.
Oh I loved the Fever series! I agree, they definatley have to be read like one big book. They all end in such cliffhangers that I couldn't imagine having to wait to start the next one. Once I was finished, it had definatley become one of my favorite series.

You the second person to mention this book recently! I really want to try it out now!
I'm currently reading
. I guess the series made more of an impression than I thought. Mac & Barrons did intrigue me, especially twinge of "heat" in book 1. Thanks for the recommendation, Brooke. I've added it to my TBR pile.
Just started reading
. Now I'm hesitant to finish this off with
if it has a bad cliffhanger/ending. :p
finished
I love this series and I love how it does the whole, what's happened so far bit to kinda catch you up on what's been going on, and then also I like how it ends like a tv series would for the season finale, where there really isn't a HEA but more of a tragic but not so tragic ending, to where it's obvious something is being set up that's more tragic in the next one. Great stuff lol! But now I am reading
I just started Amaury's Hellion
by Tina Folsom

Definitely read it, it's much, much better than book #10. Although I've enjoyed this series, think it's time for it to end.
To my friends who are holding off reading
bc of the cliffhanger, it's still an amazing book. It transitioned seamlessly from the first 3 books and the cliffhanger falls in line with Jace & Clary's almost "relationship" (I don't want to spoil anyone's ideal), nothing like the FEVER cliffhanger, I don't think. Yes,
was the apex of the triology, everything came together and then some, but to get more of Jace and Clary, after 2 yrs, I couldn't wait any longer. It's like this 4th book is the beginning, the set-up for the next triology. I can see why some fans were disappointed bc you'd expect the same intensity to continue...but that was Valentine's erra. This is Jace & Clary's coming together as the move forward yet having their past just a breath away...
I'm reading
and then I'm going to start on
I'm already kind of "meh" on Dead Reckoning. I think it's time for the series to end.
D: All of the posts about Hard Bitten is making me afraid to read it in the best way possible.

Is it because of the major cliffhanger? Or because it was bad? I'm thinking about reading it next, but I've been avoiding Mortal Instruments #4 because of the same cliffhanging reason... scared of them lol.
I just finished
