Finished this morning:



I had mixed feelings about it. And I think my perspective on it was kind of clouded because I'd seen the movie first ... and I think the characters were more interesting in the movie. So yeah. I don't know. Over all, I thought it was okay, but I think I actually prefer the movie version.

I'm now about a third of the way through:



It has an interesting setting/premise, but it seems to be heading down the typical YA paranormal romance route. Ugh. I had high hopes for it, too. :-/

Going to start on for the first time :-)

Woot woot - that is one of my all time favs!

Hey do we have a June read? I am spacing out.

[Vered]

Yup, gotta agree - that was one awesome book.

I loved Amy and Roger too, hence reading this one. It's good so far.

[Kaylani]

I am reading
It is really good.

I am trying to finish

But blehhh.

I have to re-read the hunger games for my book club... which I think I will then re-read catching fire and finally read mockingjay. Seems like a good time to do that :)

Andd... I am trying to tell myself that it isn't in the budget to buy allllll david's books for my nook this month ;)

Because y'all know how much I need ebooks especially when I have like 300 unread IRL books hahahaha (and like 200gb of ebooks @__@)

I have been having a lot of seizures so I just haven't been reading a lot. But I hope to change that. :)

Personally, I thought Days of Blood and Starlight was awesome, waaaay better than the first book. I enjoyed the beginning of the first book, was bored in the middle, and mildly intrigued by the backstory at the end. But the second book, wow! Loved loved loved it :)

Yeah Blood Red Road is not the best dystopian ever - after Chaos it all went downhill for me! David mentioned having the 5th Wave as our June read and I am all for it!

Ugh! I had decided not to read Days of Blood and Starlight because I was not in love with book one - you people are always making me reconsider things!! :)

[David]

Lol I wasn't that excited to read it but it really exceeded my expectations. I think you would like it, but I'm not totally sure!

[Heidi]

I am a wild card David. I did like the author's writing in general - the story not so much if that makes sense.

[Kaylani]

I don't know what author you are talking about... but there are authors that write beautifully and just suck at plots. They should get help.

[Brigid ✩]

Oh yeah ... I still haven't read Days of Blood and Starlight. I'm pretty much in the same boat as Heidi; I wasn't in love with the first book but I heard the sequel was much better so I was still considering it. Hrrm.

Anyway, last night I finished:



It was ... mehhh. Pretty typical paranormal romance. Too bad, because I thought the idea was really promising.

Now I've started:

Loved that book and like the idea.

Lol :) If you liked her writing then I'd say give it a shot as I was of much the same opinion as you on the first book :) You too, Brigid!

[Brigid ✩]

Hmm okay. I think I will give it a try at some point. ;)

[Karen’s Library]

I have to agree with David on !! I really enjoyed it, especially the end!! It was VERY surprising!

HEIDI: will update you if its worth it. hehehehe...

I have to agree with Blood Red Road..."

I enjoyed BRR enough but really wasn't thrilled with the sequel. So I'd definitely skip it if you didn't like the first one :)

[Brigid ✩]

Yeah, I second David's opinion. I liked Blood Red Road a lot but the sequel was pretty disappointing for me.

[Heidi]

I skipped the sequel to BRR because of all your input :)

[Gwennie]

That was pretty much the consensus in all my groups, so I skipped it too.

Reading by our fabulous David! Loving the MCs in this book!

[David]

Thank you Karen! *bows*

It was the end that blew my mind, Bluemoon! ;-)

I will await your thoughts Bluemoon :)

[Vered]

I just finished The Book Thief. Wow. WOW.

Yes, very articulate of me, but really, what more is there to say?!

That's the best way to say it! Couldn't agree more!

[David]

Ok finished . Hmm overall it turned out to be meh for me. I loved Zombie's POV but not Cassie's so much. And the plot was pretty unoriginal in my opinion. I liked it ok as a fast, fun read but didn't love it unfortunately.

[David]

Oh and reading now!

You might like it a lot more than me though! I hope you do, but I really don't think it comes close to Chaos Walking or Unwind

Lol I know! Haha. I'm 10% in and not sure the relevance to the plot but I'm sure I'll find out soon!

Yeah Brigid said it wasn't as good as she hoped too so you are not alone. I am midway though the authors 3rd monstrumologist book right now and that series is excellent IMO.

Still listening to it. Eh, i'm half way into it and still not that impressed. Trying to still keep an open mind."

Thanks for the update. I am half way through Isle of Blood
and very much enjoying it.

[Brigid ✩]

@David - I totally agree about 5th Wave. I liked Zombie's perspective but Cassie's ended up being pretty boring. I was pretty disappointed by that, considering the summary on the book makes it sound like the story is all about Cassie, but I feel like Zombie was actually the more important character and Cassie barely did anything for most of the book. Blah. As you said, I just don't think it compares to really good dystopian books like Chaos Walking, Unwind, Angelfall, etc. Too bad. I had really high expectations, because I LOVE Rick Yancey's Monstrumologist series.

@Heidi - ... Speaking of the Monstrumologist books, I'm glad to hear you're enjoying the third one! :)

[Brigid ✩]

This morning I finished:



I was ... not a fan. I found it pretty infuriating, unfortunately.

I also started:



I've been meaning to read it for a while and I've heard good things about it, so I'm hoping I enjoy it! I'm not too far into it yet and it's kind of confusing so far, but I'm intrigued.

[Heidi]

I have never heard of that book Brigid - let me know if you like it

Love the Voice Darcy! I skipped Clockwork because I was not fond of MI -- are you liking it??

[Lloyd]

Finished up . Ugh.

I think I need a break from reading. My brain is STARVING for a fulfilling book. Heck, for fulfilling entertainment. (I haven't seen a movie that's stuck with me in the past six years or more either.)

Sigh. Yet, without reading, I'm so bored.

Maybe I'll try going back and re-reading some old comics I used to like. Not sure if it's just that I'm getting older, or I've read WAY too many stories in my life...but it's harder and harder to find things that just work for me. I barely watch tv anymore, I hardly see movies. Even video games seem repetitive. Too much been-there-done-that.

Sigh.

[David]

Sounds like we're on the same page with The 5th Wave, Lloyd. I was disappointed too

Please give his Monstrumologist book a try - it is much better I am sure. Also two words Lloyd... Book Thief!!

[Brigid ✩]

I back up Heidi on that. I think the Monstrumologist books are much more innovative and well-written than The 5th Wave. (And yes, also The Book Thief is amazing!)
