Me either. I am glad Peep told me books 3 & 4 were the best because I was not so sure about the series after the first two books.

Yay! I loved #5 -- can't wait for you to read it. Harry is all about the angst."
Haha that's what everyone keeps telling me XD
I'm like … 1/3 through the fourth one, maybe?

What to read next....

Heh, I pre-ordered it. I couldn't wait!
I have to say, it's not as good as the first three books. I think the best way to describe it is that it's like watching the second half of "Into the Woods". You're like, ooh everything ended perfectly and they all lived happily ever after!
Oh wait … Never mind. No they didn't. *sigh*
But don't get me wrong, I still love it. (It's Mortal Instruments, after all!) And I have a little less than 100 pages left, so we'll see how it goes. :P

Haha! :D Yes, too irresistible ... I mean, come on. Jaaaace. <3 Although in this one he's kind of being a stupidface … but … well … *covers mouth* You'll see. ;)

Be warned that this series takes some getting used to. It took me the first two books to like it.

Well … I finished reading CoFA.
AAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. WHAT KIND OF ENDING IS THAT. I actually threw the book across the room.
Nevertheless, I still loved it. >_<

Nor have I. Is it good? :)
I've returned to reading HP #4. Near the end ... very intense. *bites nails*

Well, I finished reading HP #4 and IT WAS AWESOME.
And now, I am reading … *drumroll*
AAAHHHH!!!!! I won an ARC via good ol' Goodreads! I totally forgot I'd entered and then received the mysterious package in the mail today. And TADAAAA BEAUTY QUEENS! I pretty much had a heart attack. I'm so excited. :D

I registered for that ACR Brigid - congrats! And another yay for HP book 4. Can't wait to see what you think about book 5.
Just got done with
which I thoroughly enjoyed and am now reading
. I am also listening to
and
on audio. If Discovery of Witches was an actual book I may have thrown it across the room by now.

It's awesome so far! Of course, I expect no less from the wonderful Libba Bray.
Yep, I will be reading HP #5 after I finish Beauty Queens and The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest. :)

Alrighty, I finished Beauty Queens. (It was awesome!)
Now it's onto The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest! Huzzah!

for the April challenge. So far, it's just OK. Hope it picks up.
I had a long drive this weekend (long to me anyway) and got
on CD from the library to listen to. I like the story but not so sure about the narrator.
DH and I are on a book buying moratorium to save money since we are going to Disneyland in September and December. I have been using the library and previously purchased books for about a month now. Do you have any idea how painful it is to not be able to read
????? It's killing me! I'm on the waiting list for Last Sacrifice and my library doesn't carry any of the other books. :(

OMG Shannen! You pick the WORST audiobooks! Please please ask me next time before you start one because I really want you to get a good one. I hated the narrator for The Host - she sounded way too old! I would be happy to mail you my copy of Bloody Jack on audio if you want it - just let me know! I know your book twin loved it.
I really can't believe your library doesn't offer Inter-library loan Shannen! That is crazy and just sad :(
Heidi - Apparently my library only carries Stephenie Meyer audiobooks. They also had the Fever books but I have already read those at least twice. I can use Overdrive but I haven't figured it out yet and I was under a time crunch.
Bluemoon - I can't wait to read it! Really, truly, I am dying to read all the books I listed. I hate not being able to finish a series.

Because we are not buying books in order to save money. I haven't bought a book in almost a month now. We'll see how long I last!

I am anxiously awaiting Magic Slays! If you haven't read the Kate Daniels series you should! Especially you book twin!!!

Soooo I just finished

ARGH! Don't tell me that, Kourtni! Makes me think I can wait to read it until the price comes down.
Kourtni I love Target Boutique! I have heard a lot of negative things about City of Fallen Angels from my fellow GR friends. Evidentally Jace turns into a emo baby or something like that. I don't read the series (but I am sure you know that :)

Don't get me wrong Shannen, I liked the book. Just not as much as the first three. It was very interesting to learn all about Simon, but I missed Jace's snarkiness and Magnus and there was not as much action!

Don't get me wrong Shannen, I liked the book. Just not as much as the first ..."
I agree ... I really liked it, but not quite as much as the first three. I like that she expanded on some things from the first three books, and how she brought the Clockwork Angel stuff into it a bit more. And of course, it was nice to see all the characters again.
Although the Jace/Clary drama was pretty dumb. It's like … Jeeeez, you got together and it already took you long enough so ENOUGH WITH THE ANGST. And yeah. The ending. So not fair. Although I totally knew she was going to end it that way. >_<

Yay! I loved #5 -- can't wait for you to read it. Harry is all about the angst.
