I just read... And it was... Showing 1,351-1,400 of 1,956

[Paula]

I finished reading Live Free or Die. It was a definate cozy mystery. On the whole the story was uncomplicated and easy to follow.

[Paula]

I finished The Dark Lord of Derkholm. A big corporation CEO type bad guy traps a demon into allowing him to control a parellel magical world. This soulless, money mad, power hungry, dead eyed off-worlder turns Derk's world into a role playing theme park destroying the land and killing many people from both worlds. However nothing lasts forever.

[Darcy]

I read this week and it was great! If you aren't reading this series you should!

[Heather]

was fun.

[Jessica B]

I finished and over the weekend. Both great 4 star reads!

[Jessica B]

Jut finished with . I would recommend it if you like a story where the two main characters begin their relationship via letters. The characters were very well developed but the plot was missing a little something. 3.5 star read.

It was good. It does reminds me of the Hunger Games a lot, but in a good way. Lots of action and a cute romance

That is good, I keep hearing good things about this one.

[Jessica B]

Finished today. I gave it 4 stars but I might have been a little generous as it did get off to a bit of a slow start but picked up to have a very fast paced ending.

[Whitney]

I havent finished or read a book at all this month sigh :( so many to choose from.

[Heather]

Cute. Just like the rest of the books in the series. Really, they're all similar.

[Darcy]

That is why I quit them. When I read the second book it was so much of what she had already read that I just wasn't up to reading the same thing again and again.

[Heather]

I liked the one on Apollo. I thought there was a difference between book 1 and 2, but after that.... :)

I have this book and hope to read it soon ive started this new thing where i fill my shelf next to my bed (its like a night stand with a little space for a row of books) with books that i need to read with in the next months. Since that space is filled I will have to move that one over when some space clears off.

[Jessica B]

I finished reading and I absolutely adored it!

[Paula]

I finished The Taste of Night which I didn't care for and The Touch of Twilight which I liked a lot better than 'The Taste of Night'.

[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

I really need to read some Julie James. I keep hearing nothing but good things about her books.

[Carrie (Care)]

I have a couple of hers to read, but I am so backed up on some of my favs they will have to wait. Reading Demonglass (Hex Hall 2) right now and still have Night Huntress 5, Chicagoland 4, Morganville 10 and Elemental Assassin 4 to read.

[Heather]

Good luck.

[Vivian]

Carrie - you're in for some good times! Those are some great books :)

[[deleted user]]

I knew before reading this book that it took place in the same world as her other series, but it didn't realize that it was continuing the events of the other series and that it wasnt a completely new cast. So I hadnt read the other books and suddenly a gazillion characters dropped in and it got overwhelming. Also most of them were previous couples from her other books, so it was kind of...uh when all the characters were all happily in love and pregnant.
But it was good and I managed to follow it without prior knowledge. Really interested in reading the rest of the series

[Darcy]

Yeah, Zuleika, it wasn't a new series, more a spin off.

[Vivian]

Finished and I thought it was really good. It's like dark UF and PNR all rolled into one.

Back to which I'm enjoying too :)

[Samantha]

I just finished Spider's Bite and I really liked it.

Now I've got to hurry up and finish City of Glass because I got the next in from the library yesterday. I stopped reading it about 4 months! ago and I'm picking it up again. ;)

[Jessica B]

I finished on the weekend and I really enjoyed it! Another great read from the BDB series!

[Tya]

I just read and to be perfectly frank, I'm not sure what I felt about it. I've been thinking about it since I've finished, but its not necessarily been good thoughts. I don't know. The book is about a woman who on her way home finds a bookmobile that houses every book that she's ever read. The bookmobile pops up occasionally over the next 20 or so years. Its about her growth as a reader.

Spoiler for the twist/surprise ending at the end of the book: (view spoiler)[If the book would have just ended I think I would have liked it, fine. But the author's afterward completely spoiled it for me. The woman wants to work in the bookmobile, and after being told 'no' for 20-odd years seriously, y'all SPOILER she kills herself. The bookmobile is a form of the afterlife. According to the author the bookmobile is a form of Heaven. My problem with that (because honestly, "I've always thought paradise would be some sort of library" (quote from some smart person, I'm too lazy to look up) but who wants to spend eternity or however long we're going to be in Heaven re-reading the same books? Of course I have books that I've read and re-read countless times, but for those to be my only options for ETERNITY?? Books that I've already read? That seems more like some sort of hell. That's what I thought the author was going for. Now that I'm thinking about it, the ending doesn't make a whole lot of sense. The author says that the book is part of a larger collection. She also says, again, that the bookmobile is Heaven. But the woman looses access to her collection. She finally becomes the librarian like she always wanted, but instead of caring for her collection she's assigned a new reader who only has one book in her collection. Um...her version of Heaven kind of sucks. It also kind of makes me think of the grand library in Jasper Fforde's Thursday Next series where the Cheshire cat from Alice in Wonderland is the librarian over every book that has ever been written, inlcuding those that had never been published. I guess it had that going for it. (hide spoiler)]

[Heather]

If I hadn't needed it for a challenge, I wouldn't have finished it. I was bored. Excessively...

[[deleted user]]

i read demon glass (Finally. tried to read it when the group did and couldn't get it in time) and it was SUCH A CLIFFHANGER! Do you think Rachel Hawkins will publish it early if she finishes early? Like, if you go to facebook, the hex hall series says ''Finishing up the third book'' or somthing like that..

[Darcy]

I doubt the publishing schedule will change. Most books are done being written about a year before we see them.

[Paula]

I finished The Year of the Griffin. This was a reread, but I had forgotten most of the significant parts of the book that it was like reading a vaguely familar story. I missed many connections that first time through. I enjoyed the read and wish there were more stories surrounding the land of Derk.

I started The Gathering. Wonder if it's goning to be a cliffhanger. The Summoning was an irritating cliffhanger, but I adjusted.

[Heather]

Her YA books are written as one big book cut into three parts when you boil it all down, so ya, there's a cliffhanger.

[[deleted user]]

uh-oh... Yeah, its a big cliff hanger (The gathering). :D

[Paula]

I finished Power of Three and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Any good free kindle ya books? My dads got a kindle on the tablet.only problem is there's no good books...

[Paula]

I finished listening to The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

I don't know about Kindle, but I sometimes get some decent books from B&N (he can install a B&N app for his tablet too).

I have recently got , has a cheesy cover but great ratings. If you join the Nook group here on GR people lend out their LendMe ebooks. The problem is you can only led the title out once, and the reader only gets two weeks to read it. I have a whole bunch of ebooks, if you tell me what you are interested in I can tell you if I can lend it to you.

, the audio is narrated by Samuel L Jackson and is hilarious

I did see where that was free on audible and grabbed it. Now just need to find time to listen to it.

[Samantha]

, I've finished all of these recently, but wasn't really impressed with any of them. bah!

Knowing it is that short may make me listen to it sooner.

[Heather]

Nice title. I just finished . If you like P.C. Cast's adult series, you'll like this one as well. I'm about half way through . So far it's better than I had expected.

[Carrie (Care)]

I finished yesterday and OMG, what a book! It was so emotional and angst ridden, I absolutely loved it. It has been a while for me since I have read a really great 5 star read. I have been in a slump lately.

[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

Yeah, that book was incredible.

I have this in my TBR....

[Tya]

Well, I haven't technically finished it yet but I'm in the middle of and I'm loving it so far, just as much as I loved the first one. Things between Kat and Hale are really coming to a head, I just hope she doesn't add a third guy just for angst or drama or whatever. This is the cutest series. Ever.

So jealous... gotta get my hands on this one.

Oh!

I just finished:



And I thought it was great! I totally recommend it to anyone who is into YA paranormal reads. I's full of fictional history, love and violence. In fact, lots of killing in this book. One specific death made me super sad :(
But it was still amazing!

[Heather]

Not done yet, but I've finally managed to get to Divine by Blood - P.C. Cast.

= Awesomeness.
