Random Book List #340 (ends June 18)

[Dee]

since I have Sixth Grave on the Edge out from the library, I'll probably read that

[Yz the Whyz, Moderator]

I'm going to read , too. : )

[Christina (AKA Babbling)]

I'll be reading Third Grave Dead Ahead for Sixth Grave on the Edge

[Sassafrass]

I finished today, and I was very angsty. I'm not a huge angst person, but this one drew me in. The big secret reveal was so obvious, it annoyed me, and there were some glaring grammatical errors that drew me out of the story.

I'm not sure how I felt about the ending because it seemed so rushed after what happened to almost tear Kit and Jessa apart.

Overall, I'm kind of ambivalent toward the story. I'll give it *3 STARS*

[Dee]

oh, I finished up 6th grave the other week...all I can say is WTF with the ending - that was sooo not cool!

[Elizabeth]

I read by Kristen Ashley, and loved it, 5 stars.

[Yz the Whyz, Moderator]

I read three books for this list:

- fun read; really enjoyed it

- still fun

- sort of okay; just not what I expected

[Vi]

I finished . I liked it for the most part - loved how the relationship developed and like the author's portrayal of war and it's effects. The major negative point that really irritated me was the ending. It was too rushed. Lot of times the author avoided the common tropes like misunderstanding and then not talking about it but it was like she didn't know how to end it without clichés. Overall a 3.5 stars read.

(Charley Davidson #3) Third Grave Dead Ahead by Darynda Jones- ★★★★★ - 10 Aug 14
I really enjoyed this book. I love the humor.

[Suzanne]

Random Book List #195

I finished reading and absolutely loved it! I loved that the main character is not your average romance heroine and she has weight issues. I hope this author writes more books, this one was awesome!

Random Book List #200

I finished reading Obsidian by Jennifer L. Armentrout. I didn't really care for this book because it reminded me too much of twilight and I didn't like how the main characters treated each other. I understand that he's supposed to be brooding and all that, but that type of character ticks me off. I gave it 3 stars.

[Ezi]

I listened to for (Done 9/2) ★★★★★. Freaking love this series. This weekend, I plan on listening to

[Joyce]

There are so many books on this list that I want to read. I'll have to see what fits into my challenges. Right now I'm leaning toward the Janet Evanovich series.

[Elizabeth]

I finished reading yesterday and I enjoyed it immensely, the best in the series so far.

[Sassafrass]

I read and this series just gets better and better!!! I love it. This was such a great addition getting the shifters involved. I can't wait to see what's going to happen next. All the political intrigue is getting good! *4.5 STARS*

[Cassandra]

[Cassandra]

Finished (for ). 4½ ★ - The end was a little creepy, but I understand what the author meant now about how it's the end of the arc. Looking forward to finding out what happens next.

[Elizabeth]

Finished reading for , 3.5 stars. Probably I'm a minority here but I enjoyed it less than the previous books in the series.

[Vi]

I finished for today, 22 September. Loved it. I'll definitely continue the series. 4 stars.

[Ezi]

i finished listening to and didn't enjoy it as much as MacRieve and certainly not as much as Lothaire...but I still liked it a lot.
(Done 9/22) ★★★★

Final book in the series. Really enjoyed it. . I thought the author. Wrapped up the story very well. I was happy with the ending. ★★★★★ -sep 10, 2014

[Yz the Whyz, Moderator]

I read and for this list. Despite the difference in genre, they were both entertaining reads. 4 stars each.

I finished reading The Witch With No Name by Kim Harrison and gave it *****. I'm really sad to see Rachel go, but I really hope Kim starts another series in this same world. I could see a whole new storyline with Trents kids, it would be totally awesome!

I'm having a hard time choosing....but I think I will start with . Also, I'll see if I can get a copy of the latest Charley Davidson book.

[Christina (AKA Babbling)]

since Shifting Shadows: Stories from the World of Mercy Thompson is part of the Mercy Thompson series, can I substitute River Marked for it?

Yes...i think that would be okay.

[Cassandra]

I'm in for this one, but I'm not sure for what. Torn between Night Broken for Shifting Shadows: Stories from the World of Mercy Thompson (possibly Shifting Shadows too), Seventh Grave and No Body for Second Grave on the Left & Archangel's Shadows. Maybe all of them.

for sure, since I was going to read it this week anyway.
