It definitely is messed up. But so glad you liked it. Kat is the perfect protaganist/heroine.
I read an ARC of
today and really enjoyed. Snyder mixes things up so much I didn't know who to trust or how things were going to play out.I'm starting the ARC of
now.I heart NetGalley!
I need to get on #3 of the Magnus Pack. We're loving her books, are they on the Best lists? If not, they should be!
Yay, Vivian! So glad you read it and loved it!Regina, the friends cracked me up throughout the book. I'm looking forward to Miki's story next.
Ames, I was going to ask for that one from NG too. Glad to hear you liked it. I'll submit my request soon. And, even sooner now that I see they have GED too. I want that one too!! :D I ❤ NetGalley TOO!
Picked up a few challenge books from the library today. This is my first time reading a DTB since late Dec & God, I hope it doesn't end up feeling weird.Currently reading:
Ok, I'm at a loss .... DTB? My first thought was "dumb text book" LOL! But, "doesn't end up feeling weird" didn't quite fit. LMAO!! So help!I'm reading:
My guess - Dead Tree Book!
LOL! DTB=Dead Tree Book aka print book. Stalking the Kindle forums for the past few months has made me fluent in eReader lingo.I'm excited to hear what you think of Black Wings! A couple of my friends have read & reviewed it & the opinions are mixed. I'm worried....
@Steph - Did you ever read all your NetGalley books in the end? I read most of mine but still had a couple left over.
LMAO!! Gotcha! Now that you say that I believe I've seen/heard that before. Oh well. Brains a little slow this AM. Nah, it's all about what you think. :) It's offering up something different (helping the dead either go through the Door -heaven- or stay on Earth for all eternity as a spirit) and that's always nice. I'm only 20% or so into it, but so far I'm liking it.
LOL! You're right, it's about what I think. But when your book budget is limited, it's nice to know what people-whose likes/dislikes are similiar to yours-thinks before you decide to drop cash on a book. I do like the premise. Very different.
Nah, I agree. Hard to just take a chance and buy a book these days without referring to GR and friends' opinions first. It's a curse and a blessing. :)Hope you enjoy it! We'll compare notes after.
=) True that. I'm glued at the hip to GR now. Don't know how I read as many books as I did without this website. And thank you! I hope you enjoy it as well!
LethalLovely~Wait.....I'm glued at the hip to GR now."Not me. LMAO!! Riiiiight! :)
@Steph -see post #62. I don't think you saw my Q.

I did actually. I read them all before the expiration date, much later than I'd wanted, but still just under the wire. Some were a bust, some were decent, one was pretty good.
I also got Winter Wishes from them before Christmas and read that one. I am behind on my reviews, but posted one for that one just for NetGalley. Don't wanna mess up my chances of getting more books from them in the future.
I have a few I'd like to request, but the first time I asked for too many at once. Don't want to do that again.
So, did yours expire before you could read them?
I had 3 left that expired I think. #2 and #3 of the Sins series by Eve Silver and the #3 of the Glass series by Snyder which I have anyway in paperback. Not bad considering the number I had was in double digits. I'm being careful now too. Reading them as soon as I get them and only the ones I really want.
Really not bad. Me2 - reading right away and only the ones I really want to read right now. :)
Started listening to
earlier today. Good so far. I'm about 2hrs into it, 5 hrs to go.
Still reading
and enjoying it, but RL just keeps getting in the way. It should be banned!Glad you're liking Kitty Steph, they only get better from here.
LOL! RL does have a way of doing that. Thanks, looking forward to continuing with it this year. :)
Yay, finally finished
and gave it a solid 4 stars. Still deciding what to read next though. LOL.
Yay! I will try to read some of that series this yr, hopefully.
Between Christmas spent visiting family and getting the flu, I didn't get nearly the amount of reading done I wanted while on vacation. The last couple weeks I read: 
Wonderfully dark and gritty.
Bit of a disappointment for me. Liked the concept more than the execution.
Another great find! Looking forward to more from this author.
Middle of the road, hoping the fifth book reminds me why I loved the first three so much.
Loved it, Jaz at her sarcastic best. So sad we only have one more book to look forward to from this authorStarted Black Wings
last night. Nothing spectacular yet, nothing horrible either, it just seems pretty standard so far. The flashback/otherworld-memory/whatever-it-was left me worried about the author's intentions though. Crossing my fingers that convoluted plot contrivances don't make an appearance.
I really need to try Queen of Shadows, everyone seems to love it. Is it UF or PNR?
Wow! Quite an endorsement. Okay, adding it. :)
I started on
. I'm enjoying it so far.
I'm about half-way through Black Wings
now and I have to revise my opinion. I'm actually enjoying it quite a bit. It's not a 5 star book so far, but it is a fun read. The second flashback/otherworld-memory/what-the-heck-is-this-thing left me intrigued. Tonight I have to prepare some stuff for tomorrow's scrapbook club, but hopefully that won't take to long and I can get back into this quickly.
LOL Daffodil! Same here. I finished it early this AM. I went from "cool! something a bit different" to "WTF?!" to "not bad at all". LOL! I'm looking forward to the next book. Do you think there's a quadrangle in the future? Actually guess I should save that ? for the BOM chat. CYA there when you're done. Happy Scrappin' too! :)
I think we're all on the same page with
, lol. It's...intriguing. I like it, and definitely want to continue with the next book, whenever that may be.
Sounds like it, Vivian. :)
Josie wrote: "Finished 
. There are no words."I totally understand. I was speechless, too. I had to read it a second time.
I'm reading
right now and I'm enjoying it. However, I GET that Patch is a sexy, mysterious creature...the romantic tension is killing me!
I'm reading
. After reading several UFs, I needed me some hot lovin'. LOL!
I know! I'll probably end up reading it again as well, the book sucks you in and there is no mercy for your emotions. Awesome though :)I liked 'Hush, Hush' too, it was a bit of a guilty pleasure book. You know you shouldn't really enjoy it but you do! Haven't read 'Crescendo' yet, if I see it in the library I will but not making a special effort to.
I think the problem is that if the author hasn't planned for a trilogy/series they shouldn't really do one since book number one's all wrapped up and they have a nice HEA then they have to invent problems and find ways to link stuff all together. It never seems as good as a series that has been planned out.
I'm reading
. Okay so far.
Finished Black Wings
on my lunch hour today. Overall, a pretty enjoyable read. I had a couple minor problems with Maddy's runaway smart mouth, but went ahead and gave it 4 stars out of the goodness of my heart. Well ... that and the fact that goodreads doesn't allow halfsies. LOL. When the third and fourth flashback/otherworld-memory/no-seriously-what-the-heck-is-this-thing rolled around, I had a big suspicion forming in the back of my mind as to what it was all about. What I can't believe is that I was so oblivious during the first two. So in the end, I was proved correct in my theory about what the flashback/otherworld-memory/aha-that's-what-that-thing-is was all about. But I'm not telling, you'll just have to read the book.Going to start A Veiled Deception
tonight.

Read
, 3 stars. A little gloomy for me, but with a lot of good character and relationship development.
LOL! Me too. Didn't feel 3 was enough, but 4 was a bit much. :)
Well Ladies this will be my last post for about a week as I'm leaving for Jamaica in a few short hours! Yay!!
I just finished
and I'm about halfway through
. I plan to start while I'm away
and
and if I can swing it possibly
or
be we will see :0)

Awww, have fun Kat! Very jealous right now, hope you come back with a great tan and great recs for us! ;)
Still reading
. I hate this damn book.I'm also starting
& hopefully
for my buddy read. *crosses fingers*
Oh no! That's on my TBR list. Is it that bad? What don't you like about it?
Lethal, hopefully you'll love Pack Challenge, at least. LOL.Just finished
and really liked it. 4 stars. However you do need to have read all the previous novels. This is one series that you would miss a lot of what's happening, if you read out of order.
I'm assuming you're referring to
.Without giving away spoilers, Dana is a complete boy-crazed idiot. I understand that this is a YA novel, so it's only natural for the protagonist to be angsty. But is it really necessary for her to obsess over the guy(s) every other paragraph? Seriously, the book will be in the middle of a fight scene & Dana will spontaneously think "I wonder if he likes me?" *headdesk*
Also, Glimmerglass is extremely boring. I'm over halfway through & nothing has happened. It's like a giant prologue.
Oh dear, doesn't sound like my thing at all. I've tried Jenna Black's other series and I didn't like that mainly because the protagonist really annoyed me. I'll put this down the bottom of the TBR stack, and might read it if I can't find anything else to read (doubtful). Thanks for the warning :)Reading
. I'm actually really enjoying it so far. The girl doesn't seem like a boy-crazed idiot for a start, hopefully she stays interesting and witty for the rest of the book.

I finished
the other day and loved it and have started on
which isn't as good as the previous books in the series.
I am currently reading
which I am not really loving but it is on my Mount TBR list (first book)So I am also reading
which I am REALLY enjoying but right now I am trying to push through Maximum Ride 2 so I can read book 3 (second book on Mount TBR) and get to the rest of my list. I LOVE the cover on The Grimm Legacy. It is a combination of shiny and matte and is so pretty. Got it for 4 dollars in a bargain bin. It is hardcover too! I may check out other books by the author. I hope to get them done in the next day or 2. So I can keep on trucking LOL.
The Grimm Legacy isn't in any challenges so I am not cheating btw. I can probably put it in Dirty Dozen :-P
