I have hopes that it will be better as well. Seeing how Ash is alot more mature even though he looks like a teenager he is very old.
I just finished Prom and Prejudice and it was adorable. I continue to love Mr. Darcy no matter the circumstances. The Lydia/Wick business kind of made me laugh. Not what they were doing but the dialog in that whole scene.
I also just finished Deadly Little Games by Laura Stolarz. I super like this series but I've gotta say, the whole B plot of the book could have been avoided with a conversation between Ben and Camelia. When I finally learned why Ben was avoiding Camelia (conveniently right after his premonition came to pass) I just wanted to shake him. It all could have been avoided! But it was all true to character, I suppose. Ben has had troubles being honest and open and just plain communicative throughout the entire series. Here's a hint fella: talk to your girlfriend.
Just finished
it was really beautiful. The writing reminded me of Robin Robin McKinley 's, but much easier to sink into. I'll post a review later.
loved it! Not a lot happened (in terms of action) because the whole story takes place in one house, but the premise was so disturbing/tragic and interesting. And it was very well written and all the characters felt very realistic to me. I hope to see better/more worldbuilding in the sequel though
I really liked Withered as well. There were parts in the book that didn't interest me at all, but by the end of the book I was very invested. The relationship between the sister wives was very touching.
Just noticed that goodreads has way too many pages for City of Ashes, showing it over 600 and the book only has 453. I've never incountered a miss paged book before.

Yeah, no hardback version. I will have to do the isbn thing. But I'm not to worried I've arleady started on the next one, my eyes are burnt out from reading . . .

Sometimes i dont read at all then Ill get on a roll and read book after book.
I know!! I"m pretty much blind with out my glasses. The same thing happens to me, I rarely read or have dry spells and then I just binge read like crazy.
I finished reading Mixed Magics: Four Tales of Chrestomanci by Diana Wynne Jones. 'Stealer of Souls' was by far the best story in the book. A very bad enchanter wants to swallow the souls of past Chrestomancis and become all powerful. He kidnaps two boys to act as his apprentices. Big mistake. 'The Sage of Theare' is the 2nd best story. This story confused me some since it involved alternate deminsions, universes, and travel between them. The lesson of the story was 'Ask questions!'. 'Carol Oneir's Hundredth Dream' was short and sweet. She bottled dreams until her cast of characters rebelled. 'Warlock at the Wheel' was meh.
it was PHENOMENAL. gave it 5 stars. It didn't make me cry, but I still felt very emotional reading it. Interesting thoughtprovoking subject, realistic characters and the love story was very sweet.

I have that on my to-read list but don't actually own the book yet :p
I just finished reading
and it was sweet and heartbreaking at the same time. It's a meaningful book to read for the summer if you want to feel like you're on the beach without actually being on the beach lol!
I finished
yesterday and I can't say I was overly impressed by the book. I was a big fan of
but this story did not measure up.
I've been reading
and just read a short story by Jocelynn Drake and I really enjoyed it. Has anyone here read any of her books she writes the Nightwalker series

I keep seeing that book all over GR. It looks good, but my library doesn't have it.
Heather wrote: "I added Drake to my tbr after reading that book, but never actually looked her up."I did look her up but don't know anyone who has read her
Darcy wrote: "I keep seeing that book all over GR. It looks good, but my library doesn't have it..."I wasn't able to purchase it or get it from my library either. I think it's not available in the U.S. yet. One of my friends was able to get me an ebook copy.

Just read some smut
is free on B&N and Amazon for ebook and ended up reading it because I kept seeing everyone else reading the thing and talking about it. It was a fun read, but enforced the idea in my head that dating a rock star would never be a good thing.

and
. Both were really great books!"Everytime I see the previews on TV for Water for Elephants my head just spins with excitement. I feel guilty that I have no desires to read the book.
I tried reading the book but couldnt get into it I dont think its my type of genre maybe ill re-try it though.
It's definitely not my genre type. So a movie release is just perfect for me. The guy from Twilight actually looks like he's acting a different role for once.
Chakara wrote: "I tried reading the book but couldnt get into it I dont think its my type of genre maybe ill re-try it though."I am you guys with this one not being your genre. I didn't plan on reading it but a friend talked me into it. I knew I couldn't "read" the book, so I got the audio and it was really good. Try that, it might work for you.
I bought this book and am planning on reading it before the movie. Robert Pattenson looks amazing in the commercials! I honestly don't understand why he was made to be so ugly in Twilight. He's so good looking in all the other movies he does. & I never thought all his movies where the same type of character. O.o I've only ever watched two of them and some commercials for another though.
I just got
which is an ARC that I won on goodreads and I'm pretty excited because it was directly from the author from London...I've never got a package from another country before
I finished
last night and though it was awesome! I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys historical romance!
I've been on a JR Ward kick... Finished these over the past few days....
Loved them all, but Lover Mine was probably my least favorite....
Finished with The Endearment by LaVyrle Spencer last night. I think I loved it even more this time then the first time I read it.
