I felt the same way about Fire & Ash - decent ending but not my favorite in the series.

I have not heard of that one Dixie.

[Heidi]

I am listening to Royal Wedding and still reading Nevermore

[*b*l*u*e*m*o*o*n*]

started this a few days ago. Enjoying it enough, liking the first one better though...

[Heidi]

I plan to read that one too Blue

[*b*l*u*e*m*o*o*n*]

HEIDI: the audio is pretty good. So if you get your hands on it...

[Heidi]

I planned on the audio Bluemoon. I liked the first one on audio too :)

I felt that way until about the last third of it, then it REALLY takes off!! Ended up LOVING this read!

I finished 4 stars. This was not my fave Rick Riordan, but I still loved the book! It was a nice switch up to learn more about Norse Mythology, something a little different. I really liked the MC, Magnus, and his band of weirdo followers. The story wasn't as action packed as Percy Jackson, and didn't read quite as quick, but still a good read.

Started reading last night. I checked it out from the library and the print is so small that I am going to have to buy a pair of cheapy reading glasses to keep at home (I keep my prescription glasses at work). That's one advantage of a Kindle!

[Brigid ✩]

@Jenny - I still need to read Magnus Chase! But yeah I've heard it's not his best, so I'm a little anxious about it. I'm waiting for a copy to come to the library for me!

@Shannen - YESSSSSS Winger is one of my favorite books (and the sequel, too)! Hope you enjoy it. :D

[Brigid ✩]

Yesterday I finished:



Which I really liked!

And now I am reading:

Yay Shannen! That was Brigid's Hidden Gem monthly pick last year and we all ended up loving it from what I remember! I have the second book to listen to soon. I hope you love Winger too. Here is our thread about it https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Seraphina was just plain weird but I ended up liking it - I think I gave it 3 .5 stars?? I have not heard positive things about the sequel that just came out however - it was a long time between books!

[[deleted user]]

I have been LOL'ing while reading it. He sure goes on though. Kind of reminds me of Heidi's feelings about Mac in Darkfever. ;)

[Brigid ✩]

@Heidi - It was pretty weird! But yes I liked it too. :) I've also heard pretty negative things about the second one so I'm a little hesitant to try it––but if I do, I'll let you know how it is!

@Shannen - Hahaha yesss I love Ryan Dean's narration. He's so hilarious. :D

[Heidi]

Ahh yes! Mac was a chatterbox in Dark Fever. Drove me nuts! Love Ryan Dean!!

[Dixie]

I finished The City of Ember It was a fantastic book for tweens! I didn't realize; it was an older book and, looks like it was made into a movie; there are pictures in the book with Bill Murray in them. ;)

[Heidi]

Bluemoon - tag you're it! You get the pick for Decembers group read :)

That sounds interesting! I have never heard of it.

[Heidi]

I just realized I have only read around 75 books this year so far which is terrible for me. I am hoping this reading slump just has to do with my recent Korean drama obsession (watching tv instead of reading). Since the time change here I have noticed I want to go to bed earlier and read before bed so I am hoping to get back into the swing of things. There are people out there who don't even read one book per year so I guess I am doing better than a lot of the population :)

[Jenny]

Heidi, 75 books is nothing to sneeze at! Reading is for FUN, not a chore ;) And you're right, lots of people don't read at all hardly! I think its a great accomplishment to at least read 1 book a year!

When my 3 older kids were babies, I read about a book a year, maybe 2. I was too tired to read!

[*b*l*u*e*m*o*o*n*]

ooo...when I read The City of Ember I really liked it. Maybe we can choose that for December. It's a nice light read for the holidays!

I'm really having a hard time with the Hidden Gem. I'll let you guys know by the end of this week.

[Jenny]

I loved City of Ember! I need to read the rest of that series.

Ha! You sound like my husband. He always says that same thing that it is for fun and not a chore when I complain that I didn't read enough pages!

Um I've only read 37 books this year. :P So you're way ahead of me!

[Heidi]

Thanks Jenny and Bridget :)

Glad to hear this! I've read 1, maybe 2 books since my second was born! :(
I barely finished writing my last book, and that was a struggle. I feel like I should be doing more, especially on the reading front. It's soooo hard to get any time these days. I feel better knowing I'm not the only one.

Nope, definitely not! Its hard when you have babies! They take up so much time, and when they are sleeping, you just want to sleep too!

I'm impressed you have 3! 2 is sooo much. I couldn't even imagine it :). Not that I don't love them, mind you!

[Jenny]

I actually have 4...but I had my oldest daughter Alison, then 15 months later had twin boys! So basically I was raising 3 babies at once! Tessa came along 5 years later, when they were all in school. She was easy peasy compared to them!!

Alison graduated high school last year. The boys are seniors this year, and Tessa is a 6th grader. There is a light at the end of the tunnel, I have lots of time to read now!

Not to rush this stage, but I am looking forward to the one where I can be an adult again...lol.

Wow! 4! I'm so impressed. I have several friends with twins and I have to say, after watching them, you (and they) are true superheroes!

[Heidi]

I don't know how anyone even has one child. You ladies are awesome. Every time I feel crappy I always tell my friend I don't know how she has kids and ever gets to be sick! Especially when they are young.

[Tommy]

Finished and absolutely loved it(didn't love Legend, btw). I saw some people post about disliking the main character, but I absolutely loved her.

Up next,

[Elora]

That's funny.....I liked the Legend series but I didn't care for The Young Elites.

Random Riggs is an awesome author. :)

[*b*l*u*e*m*o*o*n*]

I just finished reading...


Up Next...

I'm getting distracted in reading this. Need to start it ASAP because Winter is coming out in like two days!

I liked The Young Elites, but I liked Legend more. And LOVED Hollow City!

I've seen quite a few who really liked one but not the other. Legend, to me, was okay. Didn't hate it at all, but didn't particularly like it either. How different each is says a lot about Marie Lu as an author, though. Much respect :)

I read Miss Peregrine's and the graphic novel version of it(totally worth checking out) and have been anxious for Hollow City for a while.

Yay! Hope you love Cress too. It is one of my only (maybe the only) 5 star reads last year.

I skipped Legend because I heard a lot of mixed reviews over it but maybe I should check out her latest series??

[*b*l*u*e*m*o*o*n*]

Legend was good, but the second was a disappointment!

[Jenny]

The third book was the best of the trilogy IMO

[Tommy]

Legend is a hard one for me to recommend because I liked the writing a lot, but the story wasn't for me. Knowing what I know of your reads, Heidi(which isn't much but still haha) I'd assume Young Elites is more up your alley.

The crazy thing is how different they are from each other, yet both were so well done. Makes me interested in whatever Marie Lu does next.

[Tommy]

Jenny wrote: "The third book was the best of the trilogy IMO"

I have such mixed feels about the ending! haha. It was creative and better than most YA Dystopians tend to end, but man, it left a bitter taste in my mind-mouth.

[Heidi]

Ok thanks Tommy :)

[Becky]

I'm still alive and kicking. Just not reading much. I am working through Howl's Moving Castle right now. I keep starting books and just not finishing them.

[Dixie]

I am glad some of you guys remembered City of Ember and thought it was good. :) I am reading a mystery for Book Club, which will be at my house, yikes! ;) I've got to clean up -a lot! :D But the mystery is Louise Penny's I'll bet some of you have read her.this is my first; I think it's wonderful! Haha, I think I will make my book Clubbers play a mystery trivia game and play that game where you wink and everyone tries to figure out who the murderer is. I might be getting carried away, LOL.
Heidi, 75 books is a LOT! I can relate to you having something you want to watch instead of reading sometimes; I think that is so relaxing and my husband and I like to watch certain shows together. Like Longmire, based on these books -love it!!!

[*b*l*u*e*m*o*o*n*]

I pushed back Cress....again and decided to pick up

I wanted to read this for October, but the audiobook didn't get to me till now.

Really liking it so far...
