Just finished reading CATCHING FIRE..."
Yeah, I've heard that the first will be called The Gathering. I read an excerpt (sp?) of it in The Reckoning. Which was your favourite book from the darkest power trilogy? Mine was The Summoning for sure, but they were all amazing!

That's the way I felt about CF too … it was too much like the first book all over again (and to be honest I'm not a huge fan of HG to begin with). :/

YAY! :D My friend just finished reading Ask and the Answer last night––she wrote me a ranting note on my Facebook wall, lol. She loved it. :) Luckily I gave her Monsters of Men yesterday :D
Can't wait to hear what you think!

So far so good! :)
Brigid I just finshed Linger. I liked Cole, but Sam annoyed my with his pining ways. All together I gave it 3 stars. Not as good as Shiver IMHO. I loved the Milenium Trilogy (Girl WTDT) - I listened to all three on audio, and I love the narrator. The first book is a slow mover, but well worth it :)

I felt the same way. I wasn't really attached to the first book until I got about halfway through it. Second and third books had me hooked from first page to last, though. :)

I do plan on reading Mockingjay … although it probably won't be for a while after it comes out, because I went to request it from the library and there were already like 300 holds on it (eek!). I have a lot of issues with the series––I don't hate them, but I don't really like them either. I just feel out of the loop if I don't read them, since everyone else does. :P

I also decided to start on a YA book because it might be easier to finish while I wait for Mockingjay here.









Now I have to blog them all, catch up on e-mails, and adjust to this three hour time change...





That ending drove me crazy too! Monsters of Men is a-freaking-mazing though, so you have something to look forward to. :] One of my friends just finished it and was freaking out about it on Facebook this morning. :D

Dang that 1017! He's rather confusing … and just … GAH! I know what you mean. We should start a thread about him. lol.

1017 had major problems! Wasn't the second book even better than the first? Brigid cheated and already got the third book from the UK.

I have a confession...I'm a cheater too. I bought the third book from the UK Amazon today!

I can't explain why I liked it better than TMI, but Will (from CA) is just as awesome as Jace :D Actually, I think it might be because I like Tessa better than Clary personality-wise :) I can't wait till Tuesday so I can really discuss it with other people!

Ok. I am going to do that too! I can't be behind you all. When is the US release?

Linger is most def. a cliff hanger ending. I liked it, but not as much as Shiver. Sam annoyed me with his spineless "I'm so in love" thoughts. I liked the new wolf, Cole, which made the book worth reading.

Yup, what a cliffie. Funny, I liked Linger better than Shiver! I thought it was more exciting. And awww I love Sam. Although I wish he and Grace would get into more arguments; they're a bit TOO perfect. Cole is awesome too!
How come Clockwork Angel comes out earlier in every other country?! Comes out in the US on Wednesday. :( I WANT TO READ IT SO BAD.
Shiver and Linger are great, in my opinion. Yes, they are very lovey-dovey, but they don't annoy me the way other paranormal romances do. I wouldn't say there's much "action" in it, but I love the writing and it's an interesting twist on the whole paranormal-romance/werewolf story. Love 'em.

Oh, you're right. The 31st is Tuesday. XD I'm just trying to imagine that my first day of school is a day later …
September 1st. A lot of schools have already started, mine starts kind of late. But then we get out late, too. x_x

This year is shorter than most of our school years have been. Especially for me because I'll be a senior. So I graduate June 5th. Wooot.

The US release is right around the corner. I believe it's September 28th. So I'm only getting it a couple weeks early, plus I fell in love with the UK cover for some crazy reason. You should buy it anyways! Peer pressure!!
