BECKY: I think that's what a lot of people have trouble with. They just can't get attached to the protagonists.
Love the Thief! I haven't read the third book, but the second is better ^_^

@Oda and Heidi - Haha okay, I will try to read it soon! :D I have a couple of other things lined up, but hopefully I can get to it sometime in January. I have more reading time since I don't have classes again for a month. :P

Yay Brigid!
Darren I need to re-read the Raven Boys before I read book 2 because I forgot everything! Hope you like it.

Yay Dixie! 2014 was a sad year for my year end book totals but I always have 2015 to make up for it! Abundance of Katherines is the only Green I skipped due to some so so reviews. Let me know what you think please :)

I'm thinking I'm gonna wind up setting Froi aside until sometime in the new year, I don't have the attention to devote to it right now.

the Sabriel series? I was actually pretty impressed by the first one, I've never run into necromancy in fantasy-fiction before so that was really cool.
I'm also taking The Blade Itself to the library shop with me later to occupy my time :) so many buddy reads this month and next! and I'm supposed to start Shadow & Bone tomorrow eeeeeks.








Some great reading the past week or so!!!
Next I'm reading



The first time I picked it up I couldn't get into it either. No worries Heidi!
Wow Jenny! You have had a good reading month :) It is nice when you read all solid reads back to back.

I thought it was worth a second attempt, since I made it all the way through it -- this one seemed to take a bit more focus than most books (dunno why) but I liked the world-building and the story didn't feel cliched.
I started Bruiser
on audio on my long drive yesterday and I love it so far. I am getting towards the end though an so anxious about what is going to happen!

Aww I love that book. <3

Oda you always have all these new books I have never heard of until you post you are reading them. I am so behind!

Gah! I own and love all the HP books on audio. I love Jim Dale as a narrator but would also love to hear the UK versions with Stephen Fry.
I just listened to something on youtube with the first chapter with both Jim Dale and Stephen Fry. I still love Jim Dale!


I LOVED this book too!
Thanks Heidi, I love it when its just good book after good book :)

Well, most of the books I read are bestsellers, but yes its hard to be aware of all of the betsellers all of the time.
And I kinda geuss I try to look for underrated,or unkown gem books.

YES, thats exactly how I feel. Like its more mine,somehow.

So far, I am loving An Abundance of Katherines!! It is really funny and quirky and colorful! Right now, it is so hopeful, but it may take a turn. I am kinda braving myself for that.
Good to know Dixie. Thanks for the update. I will let you know my final thoughts on Bruiser! I only have 1 CD to listen to left.
Hope you enjoy it Tammy. I am afraid to try that series because I was not a fan of her writing in the MI series but I was told that series is better.
Just finished Bruiser and enjoyed it over all. I thought the ending was too rushed and open ended for my tastes but I enjoyed the other 90% of it.

i love it so far

Glad you ladies love it. Does she (Clare) get overly wordy and over use the similes like she did in MI?? That is a major pet peeve of mine.

Nope, tid is pretty different to tmi. I can read tid,over and over again. probably wount reread tmi.

Oh, I love The Chronicles of Prydain. They get better as you go along except that I had trouble getting into the fourth one. Maybe because there wasn't the group of friends going around and helping/annoying each other.




I really, really enjoyed the King of Attolia. If you have read the other two, I would definitely recommend continuing the series. It's one of those that you read parts over again after you know the ending so that you can see how the author sets everything up without spoon-feeding the reader.




Now rereading
