Carina Nah, I dont think we are bulling. But most of the time I do refrain from commenting at all if I dont like the book or series cause I dont want people to think its personal or ,like you said, like Im bulling.


Stacia (the 2010 club) (stacia_r) I'll usually make the comment if it's something that isn't overdone.

At this point, I've tried to shut up about Twilight. I liked the books at first, pretty much loathe them now, will still watch the movies just to see how they turn out, but then want it all to go away so YA PNR can move on to something else.

Stacia (the 2010 club) (stacia_r) Oh, and Tucker Max...hmm. If you haven't read anything by him, he's a complete chauvinist jerk. Kind of hilarious (albeit in a very raunchy way) sometimes, but a total ass. I can't stand him.

I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell by Tucker Max

Basically, any guy who worships Tucker Max is probably one you want to stay away from.

Quoted from a friend's review (and this is a review from a guy) :

"Warning: If you're even slightly squeamish about sexist language and the portrayal of some women as stupid and desperate, run away. Run away!"

*Gasp* Abuse against Women!? PIG. Any guy who reads it definitely SUCKS >///////////<

Debra Jo Reads (debrajo) Well Stacia.... I started Shiver when it first came out, put it down, and never picked it back up... So I guess I am the fun sponge now. I have Beautiful Creatures as well as Before I Fall on my book shelf and have never picked them up lol. However, I LOVED If I Stay. I can't give a fair comparison since I haven't read Before I Fall but I can say that If I Stay moved me to tears a few times and gave me a lot to think about. If Before I Fall is as good or even better I will read it soon for sure. I am just getting to Mockingjay, I am a late bloomer and kept putting off the HG Series, why I have NO idea because OMG!!!
But then Passion comes out Tuesday and I have so many other to-reads GRRRRRRRR!!!! I need to win the lottery and just read all the time. Too many books, too little time!!!


Stacia (the 2010 club) (stacia_r) I know all about the too many reads and too little time. I keep wanting to get to The Forgotten Locket by Lisa Mangum because I am BIG fan of the Hourglass Door series, but I have other buddy reads and reads for groups I mod to have to finish first.

And I did originally give Shiver a 4 star rating, even with the complaints because I did like the book overall, but after I started reading better PNR's I went back and gave it a 3 because I realized that I didn't like it nearly as much as I did several other 4 star reads.


message 7307: by Carina (new)

Carina Well I can relate to going back to re think my rating on books as I gain more reading experience. I've done it to a few books.

Revolution by Jennifer Donnelly is one powerful book. Very well written.

btw, I didn't love Shiver either, wanted to though, but it didn't click with me. But I might pick up again sometime and give it another try. I like the covers.

Candy | 387 comments Stacia, cool "Cole > Sam" + no fighting for us! ; )

Hunger Games... the funny thing about this series is that when I tell someone what it's about, they usually are turned off from reading it. BUT after reading it, I've yet to find someone who hasn't LOVED it (even if they weren't happy with some part of the outcome.)

The 'Twilight thing'- call me crazy but I think part of everyone going from loving it to hating it is this... MANY people had read the series, or at least the first installment but didn't talk about it
except for to the people they recommended it to or who recommended it to them. Just like (once) undercover bands that are adored until hey become mainstream, I think the same thing happened with Twilight. When it was small and private we loved it, once we knew EVERYONE else in the world was reading it and loving it too, it didn't mean so much. I hope the same thing doesn't happen with HG!


message 7313: by Courtney (new)

Courtney K (cklueh) I couldn't get into Beautiful Creatures, either. I'm reading The Girl Who Was on Fire Your Favorite Authors on Suzanne Collins' Hunger Games Trilogy by Leah Wilson .


message 7314: by Pamela (new)

Pamela (waterspout) I would say that I'm reading nothing but that would be totally boring so here's what I'm going to say:

I am supposed to be reading The Last Olympian but I don't feel up to it yet.

I'm planning to read Passion when it comes out, or at least the Sunday after it comes out when I can finally actually buy it. I don't really want to rush it but I have a responsibility in another group so there's no helping it.

So, what do I really want to read right now? It's none other than the Vampire Academy series! I'm planning to read it after Passion so I can read the Vampire Academy series straight with no disturbances. I'm just hoping that I can keep it together until then. :)) LOL.

I still have not continued rereading City of Ashes but I'm planning to after the Vampire Academy series.

Does my schedule seem perfect? Erm, no it's not. I still have to read Romeo and Juliet and Canal de la Reina for school which is two days away. Sigh...there's so many things to do with so little time. I'm planning on cheating my worksheets but I can't cheat myself. It's just not the way how I deal with things.

Well, I guess you can call that an update from me. And here are the book covers mentioned above:

The Last Olympian (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, #5) by Rick Riordan Passion (Fallen, #3) by Lauren Kate Vampire Academy (Vampire Academy, #1) by Richelle Mead City of Ashes (The Mortal Instruments, #2) by Cassandra Clare Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare Canal de la Reina by Liwayway A. Arceo

Jen  (jennifer_ashmy) | 245 comments Your like me Pamela. I am stuck between so many series that I don't know what to do with myself sometimes, lol.

HUNGER GAMES is an awesome series, enjoy!


Darkshadow
Let me know how Angel Burn is please. Its like .99 CENTS for kindle right now(I think?) and I was wondering if I should give it a try.



Jessica
The Fever series is one of the best ever, but very exausting. Forgive My Fins is definetly a light read, and I personaly liked it alot. Hope you do too.
