I have a book on hold at the library that I haven't read yet. It's Mastiff It's been a really looong time since I read the last two, so I might have to go back and reread those...
(Also, I have like five bucks in fines off of a DVD I forgot to renew...... Whoops.....)

Just because people disagree with you doesn't mean they don't listen to you, Heidi dear. I think your reasons for not liking Divergent are totally valid, and I noticed most of the same flaws you noticed––I guess it just didn't take away as much from my liking of the book as it did for you. :]

Nicely put! :)

Also, I'm reading


Don't judge me on either of those! I really liked Vampire Academy . . . and I watch True Blood, so I figured I should read the Sookie Stackhouse books :D

Yay! Love VA!
I listen to Heidi about books she loves. ;)
I finished reading
. Not bad for her first book. Could have used more suspense but she has a nice writing style and it was a good story.
Now reading
. I've been waiting for this one for a while so I'm excited it finally came in at the library.

Seth - My hubby loved VA too. And I totally agree that True Blood is better than the books. But then again, the show is pretty different from the books.
Seth wrote: "Shannen! I'm glad that you love VA. Because . . . it's so lovely :D Annnd, Heidi, I've already resigned myself for Dead Until Dark to be just OK. At least, compared to the TV show :P"
Hey at least I didn't hate Dead Until Dark. I am normally not a paranormal person so if I think it is ok that is pretty good for me :)

Finished
. I thought we had a thread on here about it but I can't find it. If you dislike love triangles, you should pass on it. I loved it and couldn't put it down. It's not Melina Marchetta-type love, more like Simone Elkeles, Richelle Mead or Cassadra Clare-type love (if that makes sense). I will definitely be reading this entire series.
Started
last night.

Started

You're ahead of me Shannen -- I will start it after Let it Snow.

I wasn't originally going to read Nightshade because it didn't really look like my thing, but I'm considering maybe giving it a try... just because the author is going to be a judge for ABNA. Meh heh.


I really enjoyed Nightshade. Wolfsbane isn't as good, but it explains a lot about the Keepers, Searchers and guardians.

And that's true Heidi! You usually aren't too into paranormal anything . . . ;D

I loooove Percy Jackson! Hope you enjoy it!
Holly - Hoping I like Wolfsbane enough to carry on with the series. What didn't you like about it? Was it a lot of info but the story didn't move along?
Seth - Yay! Sounds like you are loving it as much as I did. :)
Heidi - Not sure if you'll like
. It was a quick read and I liked it but I didn't love it. The characters kept doing the same things over and over and it got kind of annoying.
Seth - Yay! Sounds like you are loving it as much as I did. :)
Heidi - Not sure if you'll like


Hi Shannen. I agree with Holly, that Wolfsbane wasn’t as good. There was lots of information, even revelations but the story was slow. I was irritated much of the time with Calla and disappointed by lack of Ren. I am happy that I read it though and I intend to finish the story and hope that things end on the happy notes that I want...

Uh oh! That doesn't sound promising Shannen. I plan to start it in a few days so I will tell you how I like it *vent* later!

Heidi - Good luck! It will be interesting to see if you make it through the whole thing.
Rolenda - I'm reading Half Blood too!
Rolenda - I'm reading Half Blood too!
Seth - Yes it is. How's that for a problem solver? ;) I'm enjoying it so far. VA is definitely better though.
Danielle - Yay! I loved it too.
Danielle - Yay! I loved it too.



I'm still in the middle of Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, but now I've also started Clockwork Prince ... Woot woot. :)
