What are you reading now?
Yes! I loved Iron Queen, one of the best books I read last year. What's funny is TIQ just came out and I'm looking forward to Iron Knight (more Ash and Puck in it!)

Omg I can't wait for The Iron Knight! Puck and Ash working together!
Sigh. Never enough time. I have books 2 and 3 (Daughter and Queen) but haven't read them. I will, but just can't yet. I say this too much, but I really want a reading holiday.Will probably log off in a few (in a pissy mood for some reason tonight and not sure why) and go finish up Succubus Blues. I think I might be breaking character and liking the non-cocky guy better. Something about the really attractive up-front guy is annoying me in this one, but I think I might know why...
I always say I want to take a break from reading and i never do. Well i kind of am atm.I have to read that. One day. Heh I've already done that with not liking Will and liking Jem instead. Well he can be okay..<.<
Oh no, I don't need a break now. I barely read at all the past few weeks (which is why I droned on and on about stuff I'd ALREADY read) and am ready to get back into it.I need a few days to go sit on a beach and read or something. I'm tired of either having to read really late at night, or in a really noisy room. Since I have a toddler, I can't just go lock myself in the bedroom to read in private.
I think Will's going to go into full on jerk mode in book 2. I still really like him, but it almost seems like he's being set up to be the black sheep, leaving Jem to swoop in on full hero mode.
i dont know how you do it stacia, but my sister put me in charge of her baby a couple of days ago, and it was an eye-opener for sure... i might pick up succubus as well :)
as to will and jem.. i love them both.. im glad i finally read CA... now if only book two were out now!
Oh right lol. I've read heaps these summer holidays so. Too much stuff I wanna read though.Argh I read better late at night because I babysit my 6 year old sister and i can't concentrate <.<
Oh, and will I like Finnikin or Jellicoe better? I think Finnikin meets the requirement for a weapon on the cover, but is it okay to start with Finnikin? I know you've read Marchetta.

But Jem will always be better.

go for mercy book 3.. kate daniel's book 1 and 2 are not the best in the bunch (the latter series really gets good in books three and four)
as to marchetta's finnikin, it's a greatfantasy. but i really like her contemporary books (so go for jellicoe first.) :)

too Brit!Im around page 23 I think? Satrting chapter 4. But I had to put it down cause I have to go to work now...urgh!
I am on the Jace side of the line. Jace always appealed more to me than Marc. You'll meet him soon. BUT...I will say that Marc did grow on me. He does love her and they do have a sweet history. I still didn't like him more than Jace, but I did grow to like him for different reasons.

Jace has the bright blue puppy dog eyes, and is cocky and playful. Marc's the non-conformist, but he's described as being very loyal and he'd kill anyone for Faythe. He's also Mexican (yum, don't see many non-white guys in books) and well put together, and he sounds hot. I'd be okay with them both fighting over me.

Ok Im in a BIG predicament right now...I just got an email from my library saying Catching Fire is ready for me to pick it up! I've been waiting 2 months for this book but Im reading Nightshade and Stray right now.
Im soooo tempted to drop everything and read CF, but I can tell Im gonna like Stray if I keep reading it, so my question is this:
WHAT DO I DO????
Stick with the books Im reading now or come back to them later and start Catchingfire...
Don't you get to keep the book for 2 to 3 weeks? Wait a day or two to pick up CF (most libraries hold for up to 7 days) and then you'll have those couple of days plus a week or so to get further into your other two books?
Personally I would finish the books I am reading first ONLY if it wasn't really bugging me to read the other one.
Im gonna keep reading what I am right now (specially since you and I are reading together Brit!)And I pick up CF when Im done, that way I wont be tempted...
;D

Okay then! I'm reading Stray right now haven't met Jace yet..
Stacia ~ the plucky heroine wrote: "He'll show up soon. Are they back to the ranch yet or is she still at school?"Oh I'm meeting him right now.
Im on page 23, she's barely back at the ranch. This is what I put on my update of the book:"I'm on page 23 of 618 of Stray: Well its the beggining so not much to say except...Marc: wow intense much? Jace: grrrr..."
Didn't he come in and tackle her or something? It's been a while so I don't remember, but he made an impression on me right away.
