Jessica B | 27 comments lol i know!

I've heard such wonderful things about the series that I finally decided today while I was on lunch that I had to have it... I couldn't talk myself out of it :)


Suzanne (Under the Covers Book blog) | 405 comments That sounds familiar lol, you must have gone back to work with bags full of books! I haven't really heard much about them, so I never buy them, I always pick them up and contemplate buying them, but I never do! Last time I ended up buying Soulless (The Parasol Protectorate, #1) by Gail Carriger instead, which I am quite glad I did!

Good choice to wait!!! The cliff hanger was a killer!!

I recently finished reading The Forest of Hands and Teeth and found it quite strange as well. I liked to idea of the story... just not the main character.

I know what you mean, I find her a little annoying, and over dramatic and a tad selfish. But I also want to keep reading as I want to know what secrets are being kept! Is this part of a series do you know?

I've heard good things about it, and have been wanting to read it for a while now. I'm SO glad I happened to stumble upon it at my library today. I wasn't even going to go in, but I had some time to kill and I found it just sitting there on the shelf waiting to be checked out.

GinBee (jennymbee) | 4468 comments Mod
I'm so excited!! Every now and then I'll have a look on the online catalogue of my local lobrary to see if by any chance they have the book I want (you may have read in other posts I don't have much joy!!).

Guess what! My library has and I've now got my paws on Storm Born (Dark Swan, #1) by Richelle Mead !!!!!!!!!

Seems they now have a selection of UF/PNR titles, still very limited but 100 times better than it was! There is a very small section next to the SciFi now called Dark Fantasy!! I nearly did a happy dance in the middle of the library!!!

message 341: by Regina (new)

Regina (reginar) Suzanne Happy Birthday!! I like the British cover for The Passage. I am anxious to see how you like it. I have not posted my review yet, but I gave it 3.5 stars -- I would give it 4 to 4.5 for the first half, but 2.5-3 for the last half. But I think I am in the minority.

Suzanne (Under the Covers Book blog) | 405 comments Thanks : ) I was very happy with my big pile of books and I can't wait to devour them!

Regina- I didn't recognize it at first as I was used to seeing the other cover, it was only when I saw Justin Cronin's name on it that I realized what it was. I can't wait to read your review, I would like to see what you your thoughts on it. I plan to read it soon, I have been looking forward to reading it since I read about it. I think you were the one who told me about it actually!
