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

Ooh...another one I have and have been meaning to read. Sadly, I had a boatload of things come up last month and I didn't read at all :(.
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

Finnikin of the Rock is getting really good! I may have actually forgotten how interesting this book is. Trevanion is such a cool dad. 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..)

I have a long plane trip this Friday and another next Wednesday. since I've been too tired to write lately, I plan to bring the BOTM to read. everyone cross your fingers the baby cooperates and sits nicely with Daddy so I can read. (a.k.a. hope for a miracle ;))
Just started listening to
and it's narrated by NICK PODEHL!!! *swoon* It's Rysa's novella and it's a reread for me, but just HAD to listen 1) because I loved this novella and 2) it's NICK PODEHL!! It's only $3.47 on whispersync. I grabbed that up!!
Just read the new Green Rider book, (To those of you who have read it i would LOVE to have a little chat with you about how POINTLESS it was)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!!!
Ooooh yeah I need to read Shadow & Bone as well. a few months back I splurged on Amazon and just picked up the first books in a lot of newer series -- Shadow & Bone, Cinder, Graceling, Code Name Verity, the Immortal Rules, Finnikin of the Rock, etc. I've finished half of them by now and I haven't been disappointed yet :)
Not yet, I just picked up The Eyre Affair from the library so that's my next one :) but I'll definitely keep it in mind!

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

Finished Mrs. Peregrine's. Not a huge fan (other than his writing style) and definitely won't be reading the second, but I found myself wishing I had more coast-to-coast flights. I loved the uninterrupted reading. Haven't had that since pre-kid. Lovely of hubby to watch the rug rat on the plane :). Must bake him a lovely meal as a thank you (and plan another flight soon...lol).
Ida, I never watch ads anymore, so I always miss these things. I'll have to find it on YouTube. Did the book get better?
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.
Hi all! I had to share what I am currently reading with you. It’s been a bit since I read a book that pulled me in from the beginning. Admittedly I had just finished
which took a very long time for me (like 2 months) because as much as I had enjoyed the story years ago when I started it, it just took too long to conclude and the final book was lackluster for me. So I was looking for a “one and done” and there was an Audible sale, maybe the daily deal not sure, but I got this
for $1.99. It gripped me from the beginning, has a great narrator and a unique (to me at least) story. If I had gotten into it sooner I would have nominated it for the monthly read, maybe for the September poll… 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.
Not on the user end. Like you, I have way too many books on my TBR pile, but as an author it might be enough to make me drop other formats and use kindle exclusively so I can join the program. Looks promising.
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.
