I have Bitterblue from the library but I can't bring myself to start it. It makes my wrist hurt just looking at it.

Anna Dressed in Blood was a good book - strange but good.

[Kourtni]

Ha Heidi! Bitterblue will definitely cause significant wrist pain! I was planning on reading Froi next but now I'm thinking it'll have to wait.

[[deleted user]]

Anna is good so far. Really loving Cas.

I need to read Froi but the size of it scares me. It might have to wait until fall/winter.

[Danielle]

I'm currently reading .
I don't like it at all... This is the first Sarah Dessen book I've read and I think I might give up on it.

I'm also reading .

[Charmaine]

Heidi: Thanks for the info about those free audiobooks over the summer :-D I'm trying to listen to audiobooks more often since they will help me achieve my reading goal, especially for car trips :-)

Meagan: 13 Little Blue Envelopes wasn't bad - I liked the travel aspects of it. The sequel was more enjoyable for me. :-)

Currently reading it's really interesting so far. It's annoying that I'm behind my reading goal because of school, but this summer I will do my best to catch up on reading :-)

Its okay Bluemoon, pretty slow paced. Definitely not as good as Graceling or Fire. But I want to know the answers to all the questions brought up in the first two books so I keep reading on!

Just started

Liking it so far. :)

Hmm, my friend read Bitterblue and really loved it. Guess I'll just have to see for myself. XD

Kourtni gave it 4 stars so I think she must have liked it overall. I have to start it soon myself :)

[Kourtni]

Maybe I wasn't in the right frame of mind for that particular book. I almost gave it 3 stars, but the writing is just so darn good. Its the story that was a bit of a let down. Also some of my favorite characters let me down as well.

I have really liked her books and am waiting for the next book in that series to come out.

[Seth]

I've been reading it a while . . . like on page 400 or something! I like it, but not as much as I like the tv show . . . Though they're actually very, very similar.

I liked quite a bit it but didn't LOVE it.

Finished reading The Monstrumologist today, and I got the next two out of the library. Woohoo! ^_^ Now I'm reading:



I'm already like halfway through it. Really good so far!

[Becky]

My next 2 books are:

I just finished:

[Becky]

It was similar to the second one. Pretty much, they have about 3 days to save the world and they jump from one danger to another. I thought quite a bit was predictable but the humorous side comments were fun. I found Sadie a little annoying at times, but maybe that's because I'm more of a nerd like Carter.

Finally out of school so I can read more!!! <3

Yay for Cinder! I recommend that one on audio btw :)

I'm just tearing my way through these books ... gosh, they're so good. I'm kinda surprised that they're not more popular ...

I saw that you liked them. I put the first one in my tbr pile.

[Karen’s Library]

Started and also on audiobook. Having a tough time with the audiobook though. It's my first one ever and not quite sure where or how to listen to it and keep my attention. I work from home so I don't really spend time driving. And I live in Arizona so taking a walk is out. I've tried just sitting and listening but almost fall asleep and have to keep rewinding. What does everyone else do? I feel like I'm really impatient and have no control. I like to read fast, especially during action scenes. I like the book and want to hear the rest! Suggestions?

I listen while I clean, garden, gym or cook.

Will be reading and next.

I listen while I drive, get ready in the morning, clean, walk, cook, etc... It is not for everyone but sometimes it is the narrator (i.e. they are not very good). I always tell people to try a really excellent audiobook and if you still don't like them then it is not for you. I would also say that I never hear 100% of an audiobook. My mind tends to wander sometimes but I always get the jist of what is going on so it is ok. I don't expect to hear every single word.

I just finished The Hunger Gamesand started Catching Fire

That's what always happens to me with audiobooks ... except sometimes my mind wanders so much that I don't even remember what's happening. lol. But lately I've been trying to get more into audiobooks. Recently I've been listening to a chapter of Emma every night before I fall asleep ...

[Heidi]

I think you ladies need to listen to a really good audiobook and get back to me! I only listen to audiobooks at night that I have read already because I don't remember anything after the first 10 minutes.

[Charmaine]

My mind tends to wander with audiobooks and I just get the gist of what is being said, like what Heidi mentioned, but it's nice to know that I'm not the only one who experiences that. :-D

Cinder is good so far - still reading that one.

[Karen’s Library]

Ohhhh.. I thought it was just me! I tried listening while getting ready this morning and found myself thinking about my work day and had to keep rewinding! :-) Ok... with what you ladies said, I will listen a little each day for as long as my attention span can handle it. I have a week of beach time and road trip coming up so maybe I'll save it for the car ride!

I'm loving them. Although to warn you, they're quite ... gruesome. I'm not typically into horror, but I find the writing and characters so likable that I don't mind the gore so much. It's sort of like a gothic-fantasy-horror version of Sherlock Holmes or something. ;)

Thanks for the freebies! I've been wanting to read Vixen - and I can finally listen to it, too. :-)

And uh ... I don't like it much. :-/

Bluemoon wrote: "BRIGID: Why didn't you like it?"

I'm reading it, too, Bluemoon - just started it today. And it's pretty weird - I don't understand everything about their world. One of the main characters can smell people's feelings. They use a lot of slang words like "zap" that are popular in their world. It's kinda hard for me to get into.

[Brigid ✩]

I agree with what Charmaine said. There are so many weird slang words that the dialogue feels pretty ridiculous at times. The author doesn't do a very good job establishing the world, so it takes a while to even understand what's going on. And the love interest is a creep who smells people's feelings, beheads people, threatens to kill the protagonist, and thinks her period smells like "violets." But he's supposed to be sexy, I guess? It's ... strange. And it's just another abusive relationship being passed off as romantic ...

[Mackenzie]

"thinks her period smells like 'violets'"? Um......what? That all kinds of weird!!

[Helen]

Hi, I'm Helen. (: I'm new to the group and I guess I should have introduced myself in the introductions section, but I guess it's too late now. :P Hope you don't mind. Anyways, I'm reading and it's definitely a pageturner. Love the names in this book. Try saying 'Finnikin' and tell me it's not catchy. Haha, yeah so the book's good, that's pretty much all I have to say.

Hello! Welcome welcome! LOVE Melina Marchetta and Finnikin Rocks (get it??) I also liked the sequel Froi.

Welcome, Helen! I hope you will enjoy it here and discover a lot of great books. :-) Perhaps I'll try reading Finnikin of the Rock. :-)

[[deleted user]]

Welcome, Helen! Melina Marchetta is one of the best!

I just finished reading and will be starting in about 10 minutes on my lunch break. :)

[[deleted user]]

Did the author think that women want men to find us especially desirable during our periods? Gag. I won't be reading that one.

Bluemoon - You called it "Finnikin on the Rocks" instead of Finnikin OF the Rock! It's 5:00 somewhere, right? I'll have a drink of that tall, dark and handsome! LOL!
