[Nicola]

[Fran, Moderator]

looks cute. I think I will give that one a try.

[Yvonne]

I've just read Dracula a few weeks ago... well, I guess I'll go with the Clockwork Devices series then, I love Steampunk

[Amy ~Lover of Books~]

Since I already read I'm going to read

[Yz the Whyz, Moderator]

I'm going to read Hallowed, too.

[Kim]

I am going to read Clockwork Angel for Clockwork Prince since I already have it on my Kindle.

[Barbara ★]

I'm going to read .

[Fran, Moderator]

I finished The Ghost and the Goth today 4/6. It was ok. I may read the next in the series in the future.

[Dee]

I read Hexbound for Firespell - I liked it better than the first one in the series, but I still have issues with the boarding school uniforms and how they can wear whatever kind of shoes they want...

[Vi]

I finished The Ghost and the Goth on 7 April. Some ideas were really interesting but ultimately the book was not satisfying. I'm not keen on continuing the series atm.

[Barbara ★]

Finished . Loved it and wished it was longer. Awaiting the sequel.

[Dragana]

Finished Clockwork Prince at 16.04. 3 stars. Everybody have been praising the second book, but for me the first one was better.

[Yvonne]

I have read Clockwork Angel and quite liked it, gave it 4 stars. Will move on to Clockwork Prince today, as there are still a lot of open questions that I'd like to have answered

[Amy ~Lover of Books~]

Finished Thursday night and it was amazing and very emotional for me! 5 stars from me!

[Amanda]

Hello I finished Sisters Red today and really liked it I was surprised I really wasn't expecting it to be such a complex story it did not follow the normal fairy tale re telling format. Would recommend it

[Yz the Whyz, Moderator]

Finished Hand's Hallowed today. I enjoyed it, but not as much as the first one. Maybe because I really like Tucker, and is not so happy to see Christian taking most of the spotlight.

I give the book 4 stars.

[Yvonne]

Finished Clockwork Prince last night and gave it 3 stars. Still interesting story, but I really could have done without the stupid love triangle

[Nicola]

I just finished . I don't think this is as good as the Mortal Instruments series, but it was okay. I give it
3 1/2 stars.

[Suzanne]

Random Book List #75

[Dee]

Fran - have u read the parasol protectorate series? U might like them - bonus the audiobook narrator is really good if u go that route

[Fran, Moderator]

I have the paperback of Soulless and started it three different times but just can't get into it. I don't know, just not feeling Steampunk, UF or Fantasy right now. Maybe just a passing phase :)

[Nicola]

I agree Fran - I was hoping this would be my turn around list. I guess we look again next week.

[Amy ~Lover of Books~]

I want to read The Iron Queen and Angel Fire, but I've got so many books to read at the moment. I'll sit this one out this time...

[Vi]

I'll read - time to get back on the series.

[Yz the Whyz, Moderator]

I'm going to read Archangel's Consort for Archangel's Kiss.

[Yvonne]

there are a few I'd like to read... but I'm somehow slowing down in my reading lately. Will see if I get around to it

[Joann]

I finished Skin Trade for Bullet today and rated it 4 stars.

[Yz the Whyz, Moderator]

I finished Archangel's Consort last night. As always, Nalini Singh weaves a fabulous tale, as our favorite angel pair deals with parental issues. : )

I really want to read more stories on Raphael's Seven. I hope they get their own stories.

[Valorie]

I finished The Lunatic Cafe for Bullet and gave it 4 stars.

[Karina]

I read The Iron King for The Iron Daughter, it was an enjoyable read, I really didn't enjoy the first half of book. So I'll give it a rating of 3.5.

[Joann]

I finished Flirt on 06.01.12 and rated it 3 stars.

This is one series which I think got better with every new installment. Hopefully, you'll like the next book.

Wow! Finally another list I want to read - i am glad to get back into this, and now have to decide between a few books.

[Christina (AKA Babbling)]

I will be reading Night Pleasures instead of Night Embrace

[Ana]

i will be reading Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children

[Yz the Whyz, Moderator]

I finished Predestined last June 21. I think it was just an okay book... I give it three stars.

[Vi]

Time to get back into the game. I'll attempt to read chime for this list!

[Christina (AKA Babbling)]

Night Pleasures was a DNF for me. I couldn't get into the book. I did not like Amanda at all.

===========
There isn't anything else on this list that I'm interested in reading

[Nicola]

I finished on July 2nd. I found it really enthralling - read it in one day and wish there was a sequel.

[Vi]

I finished (4 1/2 stars) on 10 July. The prose was a bit weird and it took some getting used to but after 60 pages or so, I was hooked! The prose was lovely and I really really liked the book. I'm glad I finally got to knock the book off my TBR. Now off to re-read some portions :D

[Ana]

just finished 4 stars. i liked it a lot, can't wait for the second part

[Suzanne]

Random Book List #85

I finished reading yesterday. This is my first experience with the genre Steampunk and I'm not quite sure what I think about it. I liked the storyline, I've read other books by this author and enjoyed those as well. I'd definately read the next book in the series. I'll give it Four Stars.
