I just started reading

I have been meaning to read that one. Maybe I will pick it up at the library this week.

Well maybe we should pick that book since several of you want to read it?? I have not read it.

I am all over the place with my reads right now. I am listening to Written in Red
and still listening to Partials (on the fence about it) and I am reading a cozy The Goodbye Witch



A Storm of Swords is still epic as heck.
Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children is one where I have yet to see major faults. So many of the reviews are either love it or hate it, which I find intriguing.
Stealing Venice need to get back to this one, haven't read it in a few days. But I enjoy it too!
I would like to re-read the whole Lumatere Chronicles series sometime soon Ashley. I can't wait for Melina to come out with her next book (whatever it is)
Karen how is Throne of Glass on audio?? I have the Kindle and think I can get the whispersync for cheap.
I was not crazy about Throne of Glass ... I've heard the sequel gets a lot better though so I might still give that one a shot.
yes,throne of glass starts slow,but give it a chance and you will love it.and yes the sequel is very very good.
I will still give it a go since I already own it :) I think you all know how picky I can be though so don't mind me if I don't like it...
If anyone has any suggestions for our August book please let us know here https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
We need at least one more monthly read rec. for Aug. so I can set up a poll (prefer 2 more if possible). Thanks! Here is the thread https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
I am about 70% into the Partials and still not sure how I feel about it. If it has a strong ending I might be swayed so I am reserving Judgement. I am nearly done with the audio of Written in Red
and it is seriously unlike anything I have read before. So weird. Good weird so far though. I am not sure why I dislike YA paranormal books but for some reason can get into certain Adult paranormal books (Fever series, Kate Daniels, Parasol Protectorate, etc..)




It's only $3.47 on whispersync. I grabbed that up!!

I also read The One, the last book in the selection series (Again, can we talk about how it was kind of written like fanfiction???)
I read a book called Cruel Beauty, which i LOVED because she ended up with the person i actually wanted her to!!
Just finished Shadow and Bone and can we talk about how in love with the Darkling i am? i know its wrong but its too late. Mal can just go away!
FINALLY i am reading a book called The Forbidden, by Sarah Mcdonald, and i have to tell you its AMAZING. It's brand new, i don't think you can get it in bookstores but you can order it on Amazon. i recommend it highly!!!



Oh, I've read all of those but Graceling. I just picked up the second book

No hurry Ashley - I have a ton of others to read for now!
Karen - Graceling is a MUST on audiobook :)

Glad you got some reading time Kristen! Sorry you were disappointed in the book. I was too tired to read last night so hopefully this weekend I can get through most of it so I can give my opinion.



I’m starting the July read,Mrs. Peregrine's next, been on my TBR for a long time…
Also, I agree with Heidi, Graceling is one of my favorite audiobooks. I love full cast audio.
Bridget I could not get past the first MI book - I can not believe there are 6?? I thought the series was ending at 4?? Anywho, that Girls With All the Gifts sounds good. I entered to win it here on a GR Giveaway. :)
Anyone joining that new Kindle Unlimited? I already have too many books to read on my Kindle at this time but if they add more books and audiobooks later I might try it at least for a month or two.

Karen - if you read this Audible is having a "kid sale" and I highly recommend The Hero's Guide to Saving Your Kingdom
- I think it is only $2.95. It is narrated by Bronson Pinchot (from Perfect Strangers for people as old as me!) and he does a great job IMO.
