The Sky Chasers series by Amy Kathleen Ryan Bk 1 Glow
Bk 2 Spark
This is a great series. I loved Glow and recently read an ARC of Spark and loved that even more!
I just finished
, which was absolutely amazing. One of my favorite books of the year. I highly recommend it! Also just finished
and let me just say, for a book that was only $2.99, this was incredible! I would pay a lot more for this title. It was beyond worth it. One of the best PA adventures that I have read in a long while! Another coming highly recommended from me.

I haven't personally read it but I have heard its really good and the author is a lovely lady!
I'm a bit late to the party, but after finishing
yesterday, I was at a loss. So I dug back through the unread books on my Kindle and came across
, which I couldn't really get into the first time I tried. Totally different this time around. I'm enjoying it a whole lot. The writing is amazing.

I really liked
too and am excited to read
. I'm glad to hear the sequel didn't disappoint you! Glow reminds me of Across the Universe
but I'm having a hard time getting through that one. Maybe 5th time's the charm and I will finally finish it this time!
Just started
last night. Just as aweso sly disturbing as the first book! Love most of the new characters and love to hate others.

I'm the same way, I remember bits and pieces, but I know there's a lot that I don't remember. Either way, I hope it's good! let me know...

How is Outpost so far?! I'm super excited to start that as soon as I finish Tiger's Destiny. :D

I really liked it Carey - it did take me a couple of chapters to really get into it, but I think part of the reason is it was quite awhile since I read Enclave. I actually couldn't remember one of the characters and had to google him before I remembered! Deuce is such a great character, and I love her and Fade together.
Yay! Excited to hear that Lorrie. I was a little worried with where this one was heading. Putting them in an environment like that after all their time taking care of themselves. Can't wait to read it!

"Oooh, that's a good one. Some really original ideas that stick with you. I remember the beginning was a little slow and confusing for me personally, so if that happens to you, keep going because it gets better!
Reading
. LOVE it!! I couldn't wait for it to hopefully be the monthly read in October. But will totally discuss when/if it is. :DMan, I love these characters and this story!

Well, it did win, so that works out. I can't wait to read it. I miss my Deuce and Fade. Glad to hear its good.
Hi everyone, I just wanted to let you know that I have a new review site at www.kimsbooklife.blogspot.com and I would love to have you stop by. Thanks and happy reading.
Oh man guys! I just finished
and
. Ok, just WOW!!! This series is amazing!! I haven't cried that hard and been unable to really do anything afterwards since reading
for the 1st time. So Good! Highly recommend.
Just finished
really good post apocolyptic book that takes place 9 years after the fall of the country due to disease. Loved it. Starting
today! So excited!

Ooh, I have both on my tbr list
I have been reading a ton of Indie authors lately. I just finished
which was a good read, but frustrating in parts and
which was also good. I'm currently reading
which has been surprisingly good. I have had a hard time walking away from it to do things like work and sleep. After that I have
and
on my list.
I finished reading
last night and started reading a book I have been wanting to read for a while now
some of the proceeds from sales of this book were given by the author to a cause close to my heart (Domestic Violence)
I'm reading city of ashes currently. I love dystopian stories but I've come to an empass waiting for new books to be published lol

I try not to read reviews of books that instantly fascinate me until I finish-to avoid any bias or preconceived expectations. But I can't wait to finish and compare notes (:
