I have a groundhog under my shed Becky (and had squirrels in my attic) so I feel your pain!

Bahahaha! yes, it might be linked to a rodent invasion! I loved the book, but I wasn't dealing with rodents...

I've not read Scarlet, but I've read Immortal Rules and LOVED it!

Uhm. I don't even know what all I am reading right now. haha.
I have a pile of books and my nook in the drawer next to me in the hospital here. I just am so sick of this hospital room and bed.. that I just keep doing the same things on the computer over and over again. STUPID RUT.
Hello! If anyone has any books from the tbr pile you would like to suggest for our July read poll please go to the July thread and list them. Karen has named a few but I would like at least 5 to start a poll. Thanks!!
Just headed over there to suggest a couple things. ;)
Anyway, right now I'm a little more than halfway through:
I'm enjoying it so far!

and I am SO excited about it."
Did you like the first book Cassi? I was not as in love with it as a lot of other people were so I have skipped the second one for now.

Finished:
Pretty good! I was especially invested in the very beginning and then in like ... the last half. There was a part between there that was kind of uneventful where I started to get a bit bored. But then things picked up again and it didn't quite turn out how I expected. So ... yeah, I liked it in the end and I'm looking forward to reading the next one. :)
Next I will be reading an ARC of:

I'm just excited to be reading something on my TBR list (finished an e-ARC quicker than expected so I had time). I thought this was a duology but I just checked and there's another book. DARN. Sometimes you just want to finish something ya know.

Yup. I find it harder and harder to commit to new series. It seems like the stand alone book if fading away. It seems like people who liked the first book (Daughter of S&B) really liked the second one so you should be good :)

Ooooo I bought this at the local library sale and need to read it. I know Cassi likes this series. I actually listed this as a possible July group read in the hopes that I would get to it finally!

I'm enjoying it so far the funny thing is when I was growing up the street I lived in was called Cheyne Walk so it was a strange coincidence when I first started reading it.

It is excellent on audio. I think David mentioned it had too much swearing and stuff for him so be warned it is a more mature YA book.

I have not heard of that series. I am off to look it up :)

bwhahaha Emma I read the first one in that series and did not even know that was the name of the series! I liked the first one so perhaps I should try book two. I hope Jim Dale narrates the second book on audio like he did the first one because I love him.

I am actually enjoying the second book more than the first one. It is worth the read definately.

Oooh you'll have to tell me how that is, Heidi. I've been seeing it everywhere lately.

Good to know Emma. My library has the audiobook and Jim Dale narrates so I will check it out.

Let me know if you try book two in the Tomorrow series Karen and I will also give it a try. I was not blown away by book one.

I went ahead and got book 2 from the library, Heidi. This seems like a quick read so I should be finished soon and can start next week or whenever you're ready. Yaay.. a buddy read with Heidi!! Normally you've already read all our books or aren't interested. ;-)

OK Karen & David! I went to my library and put a hold on
