Hope you get better, Jex. I get them too. And I agree with LK, NOT fun!!!

I also really loved Cinder. It was very inventive and I found myself breezing through it without realizing how much I'd read.


I have that one on my iPod/Touch, but haven't listened to it yet.

Thanks, Stef!
Ditto about Cinder. Didn't expect to take to it at all. I love when a book catches me off guard.






I still have it around here somewhere, I will have to give it another shot and actually finish it this time! My morbid curiosity gets the best of me quite often.


Yes I'm serious, its actually in there lol. (view spoiler) I have a feeling that if the genders had reversed roles in that scene, there would have been a lot more outrage about it.


I have this one on my TBR list at home, and no you don't need to say more lol. Love the idea so much!


I'm in the middle of

Also picking through

And still listening to




So far its an interesting premise and seems to hinge on things I've suspected for a long time. We'll see how it goes from here.





Overall I enjoyed it, it was very well researched and put together and the author made some excellent points, but I am not sure I can agree with all of his conclusions. Gotta think a bit before I write my review.
Started this morning....


I just finished Soulless by Gail Carriger, and I liked it a lot. I didn't expect to, after the first few chapters, but I got into it quickly after that and flew through it. It was definitely not what I was expecting, though.




I read Jonathan Maberry's Patient Zero recently, and while I liked it, and I liked the story and the fast pace, I'm not sure I want to read the rest of the series, as it was pretty much non-stop blood and gore (maybe I'm exaggerating, but it felt like that to me). Is Rot & Ruin like that?
Reading Sarah Addison Allen's The Peach Keeper now. My book club is reading it this month. I haven't been in a while and I'm hoping to make it this time. Also reading The Dressmaker: A Novel.

It has some graphic scenes in it, but not as much as Patient Zero sounds like it has. Rot and Ruin is more about humanity and the ethics surrounding the zombies. It has heart. It has been one of my favorite reads of the year.


Laura I hope you enjoy Dust & Decay."
I loved Rot & Ruin and so far Dust & Decay is equally good if not better.

Thanks, that's good to know! It's been recommended to me a lot, so I'm looking forward to it.
