Carina Im in like a reading coma or something. I havent started reading anything in like a week...nothing appeals to me =(


message 6958: by Pamela (new)

Pamela (waterspout) Well, if you liked the Hunger Games, try the Uglies series. It was one of the first books I liked since Harry Potter. :)

Catherine (cattymccat) | 754 comments I just finished Ember & I loved it!!! Not for children though... At all. I was shocked, because I thought it was young adult & it's much more adult.

I thought The Forest Of Hands & Teeth was fantastic, but I didn't like the ending or how they are connecting the second book & third book to it...

I was like that for a while and just snapped out of it!!

Dora610 | 847 comments oh,is the first book a story for itself or are the second and third book continuing the same story

I thought it was slow but by the last third of it I was all in!!! Reminded me a good bit of the movie The Village. I have "Dead Tossed Waves" but have yet to read it.

Stacia (the 2010 club) (stacia_r) I agree with Catherine. The book was interesting to me, but knowing the second book was not going to be following the second character, especially after how it left off open ended like that, I lost interest with continuing.

Sometimes I love series where each book is a new character, but this time I didn't care enough I guess.


message 6970: by Carina (new)

Carina Pamela-
I've read Uglies and liked it, but the writting style is difficult for me to get through the book. Its fast & slow, fast & slow, through out the whole book, and if its the same with the rest of the series then I better not keep reading it right now.
But now that you mention Harry Potter, you reminded me that I want to re-read the last book before the final movie comes out!!


message 6971: by Carina (new)

Carina Stacia-
I'm not reading anything right now, so I'm definetly ready for our buddy read whenever you are =)

Catherine-
I've seen a few people have the same reaction you had to Ember...lol. Was the book good though?

Debra- I've had little spaces where I just find a good book to snap me out of my non-reading moods. But lately I've read quite a few good/great books and I'm still stuck =(


Stacia (the 2010 club) (stacia_r) Maybe we can start around Monday-ish next week? I have a buddy read I'm working on right now with a couple of girls, and have a group read I need to finish up.


message 6973: by Carina (new)

Carina That sounds great, in the mean time, what the hell should I read? I don't think I've ever gone so long without reading(since I started reading last July)


message 6974: by Carina (new)

Carina BTW... Happy Be-lated Mothers Day to tall the mommies!


message 6975: by Stacia (the 2010 club) (last edited May 10, 2011 03:01PM) (new)

Stacia (the 2010 club) (stacia_r) Since I don't think you read the last one yet? Lover Unleashed (Black Dagger Brotherhood, #9) by J.R. Ward if you want steamy Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins if you want fun and light

...or...hmmm...one sec.


message 6976: by Stacia (the 2010 club) (last edited May 10, 2011 03:01PM) (new)

Stacia (the 2010 club) (stacia_r) Just looked at your TBR.

Mine Till Midnight (The Hathaways, #1) by Lisa Kleypas is a lot of fun and I adore Cam.

Nevermore (Nevermore, #1) by Kelly Creagh was on your list and it's pretty good, but I'm liking Perfect Chemistry so far better than this one, for an opposites attract type of story. Since I know you're Mexican, I'm not sure if the main character would be a guy you'd like or if you'd find him to be a bad stereotype. He reminds me of a guy I used to date, so I'm liking him.

By now, you've read a lot of the good ones I'd rec, so I'm not having as many ideas as I used to.


message 6977: by Carina (new)

Carina Exactly! I've probably read most of the good ones by now, but I should probably give Anna a go if its fun and light. Is it a stand alone?


Stacia (the 2010 club) (stacia_r) Yes, it's a standalone and has an ending with closure. The author wrote a companion book that comes out later this year, but from what I can see it's companion in name only, because I can't find one character from this book that crosses over to the one coming out.


message 6979: by Courtney (new)

Courtney K (cklueh) AAAArrggghh! I lost my "license" to view The Forest of Hands and Teeth (The Forest of Hands and Teeth, #1) by Carrie Ryan today after a computer swap. I was more than half-way through and now I'll have to wait weeks to get it again.

I was completely flashing to the Village for the first 30-40 pages, but then I snapped out of it. So far, it is amazing. My main concern is for Jacob (I was picturing my son), but please don't spoil me. If he gets eaten, I want to be able to skip over that part and pretend it never happened.


Beth   (the one who is)  | 29 comments I've been reading Dracula. Yes, I know not really YA book... but it's like the start of Twilight books etc.. so it counts.
It really shows the era it was written in though. Very long widened but enjoyable.


Amy ~Lover of Books~ I just started Covet (The Fallen Angels, #1) by J.R. Ward today, but I may hold off reading any more because there are some YA books I really wanna read more right now. I've not read much in the last 2 days because it has been very hot, but I hope to make it up tomorrow and the rest of week when it goes back down to the 50s-60s.

Stacia (the 2010 club) (stacia_r) Carina,

My inbox is not letting me get messages (guess a lot of people on GR are having errors right now), so I'm not even going to bother sending you a mail because you might not see it.

Leea and Wendy want to read First Grave too and we all thought Monday was a good time to start if you're ready to go.

The second book is actually the story of someone else connected to the first book.

That would be wonderful. Can you send it on here or do you need my other email? (mamaklueh@yahoo.com just in case) Thank you!

Alison | 234 comments I'm popping in and out sporadically at the mo, got so much on my plate. But I was so excited I just had to let you guys know, coz you're kind of on this journey with me.

The Amulet A Faedra Bennett Custodian Novel by Alison Pensy was listed as free on Kindle on Weds. By yesterday it was #17 on the Top 100 Bestseller list and at time of writing this, it is at #14!! In less than 2 days it went from around #80,000 to #14. I nearly fell off my chair, I can't even imagine the amount of exposure that is giving me and hopefully the 2nd book too. The Emerald Staff (Custodian Novel # 2) by Alison Pensy .

I just want to thank you all so much for your support, feedback etc etc. I love this group and you've all been great.

Alison | 234 comments I hope you guys don't mind me posting this but I'm so excited and I just wanted to share that excitment with you.

The Amulet A Faedra Bennett Custodian Novel by Alison Pensy just hit #1 on the Kindle bestseller list for Children's Sci fi/Fantasy!!!

Please excuse me while I dance around my bedroom for a while :-)

Halfway to the Grave (Night Huntress, #1) by Jeaniene Frost


message 6996: by Catherine (new)

Catherine (cattymccat) | 754 comments And congrats Alison!!!! <333


message 6997: by Pamela (new)

Pamela (waterspout) Congratulations, Alison!

I'm currently reading Mockingjay and I there are only two options as to why I'm not reading it now. 1) I'm not in the mood and 2) I'm not enjoying it. I'm not sure which one it is, maybe both, maybe none. But all I'm sure about is that I will not sleep late just so I can read this tonight. (It's 3:55 AM now.) Or maybe I will. We'll see. :)


message 6998: by Carina (new)

Carina @AlisonYay Ali! So happy about your book!


@Catherine The Night Huntress series is awesome! And the first book is sooooooooo good!


@Pamela Mockingjay was my least fav of the series but I hope it gets better for you =)


message 6999: by Pamela (new)

Pamela (waterspout) Carina, I really do wish it gets better. I can already guess what might happen in the end when I read Catching Fire. And my friend actually spoiled me of something and I hope she's not right because if she is.... :'(


message 7000: by Alison (new)

Alison | 234 comments Thanks Jen, Catherine, Pamela & Carina. I'm so excited. Just a little while ago it hit #1 on the bestseller (free) list across ALL children's e-books. Not just Sci Fi/Fantasy, and now sales of The Emerald staff are starting to come in. That went from #10,000 on the bestseller list today to #5000.

My head is spinning.
