I started this morning. I am so happy I got the actual book from the library instead of getting it for my Kindle. The illustrations are a wonderful addition to the story.

I missed out on the illustrations because I listened to the audio but Jason Issacs was fantastic. Sounds like I have to check out the actual book too - I had to do the same with the Book Thief where I went back and bought the print after I listened to the audiobook so I could see the pictures.

I started last night and am almost done with it already. I think it is a fun and easy read.

I haven't read eithe but have thought about the Alchemyst a few times - how was it?

[Heidi]

I downloaded Overdrive to my phone and think I might use it to read The Book Thief. I've got to get back into the reading groove before I attempt that one. It has been light reads only for me this summer.

Yeah it is not a light read at all. Not good for a back to back read with A Monster Calls either unless you like being depressed!

[Becky]

HEIDI: I thought The Alchemyst was OK. A little bit slow to me and some of the characters weren't too deep. I understand it gets better as the series goes along. It has Egyptian gods, Norse gods, etc. so if you like that, you may enjoy it more than me. I do plan on continuing with the series but not right now.

I second that! I'm thinking of reading it next but would love to know opinions before I pick it up.

Umm I know Kournti really liked it. I listened to the audiobook (narrated by the fantastic Jim Dale). It was very well written and imaginative but I never really connected with the story 100%. I would say if you have a good imagination and can just go with a story you would like it. Overall I liked it but did not love it (kind of like Daughter of Smoke & Bone - speaking of which I think if you loved that (DOSB) you would love Night Circus too).

I liked the audio more than the actual book!

Just started because I got to a point in that was making me cry at my desk on my break. I liked the Iron Fey series by Kagawa so I'm hoping this one is good.

I'll finish tonight in the comfort of my own bed where I can bawl my eyes out in private.

I warned you!

[Brigid ✩]

@Shannen - Gahhh I adore A Monster Calls. But just the thought of it makes me want to sob into my pillow ... D: And yes, the illustrations are gorgeous. Also I really liked The Immortal Rules, even though I wasn't expecting to. I haven't read The Iron Fey books so I don't know how the series compare, but from what I've heard most people are saying Immortal Rules is better ...

@Bluemoon - I'm so glad you liked The Monstrumologist! Yaaay! Hmm, Daughter of Smoke & Bone is next on my list. I also have very high expectations so now I'm a bit worried. Haha.

[Karolina]

I just finished and against the popular view i didn't like it. I didn't get the whole limbo/metaphysical dimension where Sam exists/floats. Maybe I read touch much into it. Looking for a grabbing read, any suggestions?

So glad you're reading !! I can't believe its taken you this long! And you haven't read either?!?

[Charmaine]

Kourtni, I haven't read any of those books either. XD I should put those on my summer reading list. :-)

[Kourtni]

Yes! Those are books I would recommend to everybody!

just finished , now I'm going to start

[Brigid ✩]

Finished



*Sniffles* Ahh such a sad ending. I'm so bummed. But it was still really good, of course.

Just started



Errrm I'm not sure what to think of it so far, but I've only read like 30 pages.

[Charmaine]

Kristina, I've been wanting to read those books, too. :-) Do you like that series?

[[deleted user]]

I finished the night before we went on vacation. I cried so hard. Just when I thought I was done crying, I would start again. Probably shouldn't have read it so close to my mom's passing. :( It was an excellent book and I'd recommend it to anyone.

My mom passed when I was 13 and I still cried for like 2 days Shannen. It is simply just an awesome book.

I just finished and I loved it. Now ... I'm not sure what I'm going to read next xD I have a lot to choose from.

Seth is back! Yay! Hope you're having a good summer. I'll have to read that one since I liked the first one.

[Kourtni]

Finished last night. Excited to read the next one! Going to start today!

Seth wrote: "I just finished and I loved it. Now ... I'm not sure what I'm going to read next xD I have a lot to choose from."

SETH. WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN.

Oh yeah... I've been trying to decide whether I should read that or not. Was it better than the first book?

[Seth]

Shannen, you should read it :D There's something about these books that makes them so ... readable. Even if what you're reading isn't the best thing in the world, you just want to keep reading. And yes, I'm back haha!

BRIGID. I HAVE BEEN IN MY HOUSE xD Was it better than the first book? Hmm. I dunno. There was this weird mystery with a bunch of clues that just seemed WAY too convenient. But it was very fast-paced, and Elder didn't irk me as much as he did in the first book. Though I still found both he and Amy rather boring ... But whatever. Read it anyway.

[[deleted user]]

Seth - Your brief review doesn't sound very enticing. ;)

[Seth]

No, I actually really enjoyed reading it, and it drew me in like crazy. I was so hooked. That may just be the fact that I love the idea of being stuck on a spaceship ... but whatever ;D Read it.

You're so bossy! I'll read it but it's low on the list.

[Seth]

Oh, Bossy Schmossy. I just want you to experience the joy I had reading that book.

Haha! That's why we're all here. I'll get to it soon.

I LOVE this series! The first book is seriously amazing!

Bluemoon wrote: "KRISTINA: how was The Goddess Test?"

I read the second one and it was good! The ending really boosted it for me, it's a major cliffhanger and I'm dying for the third one!

I am still listening to on audiobook. It is 15 hours long and on a Playaway so I only listen to it through my CD player while I am getting ready (about 30 minutes per day) so it is taking forever! I have no idea where I am in the book with this damn Playaway I am on section 4 (nearly done with section 4 actually I think??) So I hope that is a good thing because I have no idea! It is much slower than the first two books. Where is the action of my beloved Graceling! I want some heads to roll gosh darn it!!

[Heidi]

FYI one of my favorites Bloody Jack: Being an Account of the Curious Adventures of Mary "Jacky" Faber, Ship's Boy is 99 cents for Kindle today. I only listen to the audiobook of the series but really like it.

Hmm okay. I dunno, I might still read it. But yeah ... I also disliked Elder and Amy when I read the first book.
