I am reading "Grace" series by S.L Naeole. I am on Black Halo (the third part). There are four in total. So far, I really like them.

How was Dark Descendant?
Im done with
which totally makes me want to read
. Im also done with
.. no complaints on my part, it was OK. Now reading
(after a really reading really neg review, I found myself very curious. My reading experience so far has not bee positive, but I'd like to see where the author takes it. :)
Isa,I still haven't finished Girl in the Steel Corset. Got about halfway and it was okay (not great but not terrible), but I got sidetracked. Guess I should finish it before the galley expires though.
Um so...
Starting off the month by getting as many group reads out of the way as possible. Gonna start with one adult romance group read and one ya historical group read then move on to my epic fantasy group maybe...
I just started Defiance by Lili St. Crow. It is the 4th book of the Strange Angels series. I really love this series so I am going through this baby fast!

I have Falling Under on my list and I am hoping to get it soon! So far Defiance has not disappointed me yet! Tho at the beginning when she started talking about Nathalie I was really confused because she explains who she is a chapter or so later but I was reading it and thinking "how did I miss a whole character?" When I read Vampire Academy I got the list of the order from someone who was WRONG and so I read a book out of order and it was awful so I kept checking that I was right, even though I KNEW I was right. It was quite a few chapters for me until she explained. Then I relaxed. :) The emotions my books cause me... :)

I have officially given up on Steel Corset! LOL.. I need a good adult book but with my current picky attitude im afraid I wount give richelle Mead's stuff their fair shake... so im holding off on those and reading
... Comparing de Stefano's Wither against it, had me curious. :)
I finished Steel Corset tonight but was meh on it. The first 5 or so chapters had me interested and were pretty decent, but from there on it slowly got more tedious and tedious. I didn't hate the book, but felt like the author could have trimmed half of it out, and it would have been a better story. She almost went overboard trying to make it all steampunk. What's been going wrong with the adult reads you've been picking up? I'm having the opposite problem, except with YA. Not a lot is grabbing me in YA right now.
That's why I was wondering why Isa was having trouble with finding good adult reads. Most of the adult stuff I've been reading has been pretty decent lately...it's the ya that's been making me want to bang my head on a desk. Well except for the last 5 I read. There were a few good ya in that bunch.
Maybe shes read all the good ones. A lot of YA stuff is shit now. Theres a few series I refuse to continue with now. *Cough* Fallen
There are some good recent ones, like Anna and Forbidden, but neither one of those are PNR. I'm sure there's some other good ones, but I haven't been reading as much ya, so I couldn't tell you...Oh well. I'm actually looking forward to some ya books coming up, like Bloodlines and the new Hourglass Door one. Those are pnr and sci-fi, so at least that's something...
Yeah well non-PNR may be good. YA PNR pretty much sucks though. I have quite a few to look forward to too like the new Iron Fey ones etc.
Jess thinks Mac should have jumped him right there. Don't get me started. Hes the best ): (view spoiler)

This past couple of months I just haven't really bee..."Those are both on my TBR list! I'll get them a.s.a.p. This Lullaby is actually really good! I'm so glad... I couldn't handle another crappy book right now. lol I'm a little over halfway done & FINALLY reading every night again, thank God.
I'm also reading the second Disney After Dark, Disney at Dawn, book to my son. I may not be able to stand them, but he enjoys them. Anyone have any suggestions on books that aren't for little ones that might actually be suitable for me to read to my four year old?

... Great book!!"It was so good & I finished it in a day also... I'm so glad that I bought it on a whim.
im busy reading
and
Beastly is going quite well, im loving the little chat room sections they have. Cant wait to watch the movie to see how it compares.
I am starting
today, but I have one question about
.In this book at some point Patra answers Cat's call and starts laughing and gloating. Ok question: How did Patra got hold of B's cell? When he tells the story later there is nothing that explains that! Or did the vamp that stabbed him thought to take his phone with him...? Lol! Just asking:D

I don't know about V'laine. I didn't really like him!
I guess I liked how he made B jealous but no more than that! IMO!

series to my twin brothers when they were that age in anticipation of the movie. It's pretty dark for a kid's book, but they loved it.

Im afraid that my sour mood over them might affect my reception of Adult-PNR! Thankfully, a lot of the YA contemps have been working out...
BTW: You guys need to read
! I just finished it and really enjoyed how possible it all seemed. I was afraid it would be inaccessible and that I wouldn't "get" it. But it wasn't. In fact, it sucked me in almost from the very first page. I think I need to read more of Margaret Atwood's stuff.

has been on my TBR for FOREVER. Maybe I'll get to it next month, as I have this month's line-up already decided.Esra wrote: "dead reckoning sookie stackhouse story book 11 I guess :D - charlaine harris -"
I just saw that on a cart in the workroom of my library. I'm only on #5, but I love this series. Each book has been better than the last.
@Courtney, yay! you really should. I'd count it in my top three along with The Giver and Never Let Me Go. I'm reading
now for something different!
Oh nice. :) Book 2 is good, but I really like where TS goes in book 3 because you get to meet the Tairen more in depth.
@ Joan,I don't even remember much about that book of NH or I'd help.
...and I'm shedding a little tear that you didn't like V'lane. Okay, not really, but I was not a huge Barrons fan in the first book. He didn't really get me going until about maybe book 3ish? Then it was on.
Did you read Shadowfever and see what happened with the whole V'lane thing? I didn't see that one coming at all.

He likes dark stuff, he's a huge Batman/Spiderman fan. And lets face it... The Dark Knight was dark. I wasn't sure about letting him watch it, but I did, & he loved it. So he'll probably like this one too! Thanks so much everyone.
Does anyone else have any suggestions on longer books that I can read (like a chapter a night), to my four year old? He'll be five in October, but honestly, he's kind of mature for his age... I just want stuff that probably won't scare him. Thanks guys! <3
What about Charlotte's Web? My teacher read that to us in kindergarden and that's around age 5 to 6. That might work if he likes animals, unless he'd be upset over the spider dying at the end.I really remember liking the Mrs. Piggle Wiggle books as a small child because they were SO funny and imaginative to read when I was young (I loved that her house was upside-down), but some of the values might be very 50's centric from what I recall, so I don't know if it mentions spanking or other things you may/may not approve of depending on what your beliefs are. Those books had my imagination going through the roof though because she always had the craziest "cures" to fix bad children, like there was one where the little boy wouldn't take a bath, so she had him stay in his filth and the parents put seeds into the dirt on his skin at night and he grew carrots on himself!

Me neither! Maybe I didn't really trust him, but that one I didn't expect!! It was well played though! Shadowfever was full of surprises! Any of the things that happened had even crossed my mind as a possibility! Danny...! Vlaine...! Barons and the others...! D.E.G....!
I was not very excited about B in the first book either maybe not so much on the 2nd too, but after that I really did like him!
Sorry Brit, sorry Carina! I guess he's not my type!:)
