I am starting Seraphina
on audiobook as well as Size 12 and Ready to Rock
. August has been HORRIBLE for me reading wise. I have been reading the same two books for the past 2 weeks! I have got in several audiobooks but my print reading is seriously lacking. My eye keeps getting drawn to my GR total for 2012 and all I see is "you are 4 books behind". Ugh! The pressure.





I know how that feels, Heidi, except mine is worse. It says "You are 38 books behind." XD I know you can catch up with your goal, but with me, I'm not so sure, but I will certainly try. ;-) I have at least 9 books that I've been reading for a while, but I'm currently focusing on one or two of them at a time so I can diminish that list. :-)

*pst* secret time - I changed my GR yearly goal twice because the pressure got to me!

Nope - not the last one at all! I just got it on my Kindle - it's on sale for $2.

I didn't love The Giver either, Heidi. I always feel left out... haha. But now I know I'm not alone!

Oh, how is Seraphina? I keep hearing about it. And you can catch up! At the beginning of the summer I was 16 books behind my goal and now I'm only 3 books behind. So, it can be done. XD

Oh yay! I am glad I am the only person who was not into the Giver. Sometimes I wonder if I am too picky but if someone else agrees with me I say "nah!" :)

I am on part 3 out of 11 of the Seraphina audiobook and it is quite strange (but it is a fantasy). It is keeping my attention though so I am not sure yet -- I'll come back when I am done and tell you my final thoughts.

:) Good to know that, so far I quite like the action, hope you enjoy it too.

Since you liked Night Circus I would say YES!

Oh yes I felt the same way (and was also initially creeped out about killer horses) - I would say the second half picks up when they are getting ready for the race and the race itself but it is a slow moving book in general. I ended up liking it even though I almost gave up on it. Maggie tends to write in a methodical manner in her Mercy Falls series too IMO.

In general it's not a very fast-paced book, but towards the end it gets more exciting. It's more focused on the world-building and characters, I think.

Okay! So far I'm thinking you'd like it Heidi, but I'm not too far into it. I'll let you know when I'm done. ;)

At first I thought I'd like The Iron King ... and I do like the writing style, but ... I hate faeries soooo much. So I'm stuck on the part where they're at the Seelie Court. There's too many faeries for me to care about it anymore.
And I've lately read:




I did start on

Have any of you guys read it before?
I am skipping Iron King because I hate fairies too. Seth I love how you "sneak out" and you go to the library! I snuck out and went to much worse places back in the day!
