@Rebecca - glad you're sticking with HG. I felt it really picked up once the games started. Sucked me in and wouldn't let go until the end. Hope you like it when it's all said and read. :)@Wan - I read that one, same as Vivian, b/c the group raved about it and really enjoyed it. Hope to read the rest of the trilogy this year. I listened to the audio version and hope to do the same with the rest.
@AV - Good luck w/your NG requests! Let us know what cha get!
@Vivian - Yep! And this shelf is a biggy! TONS of choices, shouldn't have any problems finding something you're anxious to read. I hope. Sometimes more choices makes it harder to choose.
Done with The Hunger Games. Ok, I admit I rewarded it with 5 stars. It was a big contrast in style with the previous one but when I got used to the rhythm I couldn't put it down. It also made me shed some tears... Touching.And because today I'm feeling feverish and sore and hurt all over, and I'm not in the mood for something new, I decided to reread Cry Wolf (When I read it I didn't know it was a spin-off, and I enjoyed it a lot). I read it last summer and I can only remember the essential.
Finished
&
. Now I'm in limbo. I have 3 challenge books left to read for Jan & I can't get to them at the moment. One hasn't come out yet & the other 2 haven't been sent to my library yet. So I'm not sure WHAT to read right now. Hmmmm.
Just finished
and my Fever re-read. Working my way through
but will be dropping everything for
tomorrow!!!
Yesterday I was having a crappy day until I read
I loved this short story prequel. It was amazing. I completely sympathised with Viola, the main character (MC). Best short story EVER!I picked up the first book
but had to put it down because it was a different MC. I had no patience today for his uneducated language, which I was having trouble understanding. Hopefully I'll pick it back up again soon.I'm feeling pressure to read
because of all the hype over the new release at the moment. Do I read it? Do I not? It's driving me CRAZY!
I saw read it, but I love Mac and the Fever world and have from the first sentance on the first page of Darkfever. :) I am reading ....
I also have these two going:
And am listening to this in audio:
Read
and
.I was feeling like Catching Fire was just too depressing to finish, so it took a while, but as soon as I did, I NEEDED to read Mockingjay immediately! It's one of the most solid trilogies I've read in a long time, great story, well thought out, a little heart-wrenching, but what dystopian story isn't? Love good books, don't you :)
Now, I need to read something a little happier!
Vivian wrote: "Hehe, gotta question my taste now, because I liked
. It was about 150 pages too long, after finishing it, I was confused like no other, and the love story is just lame......"I liked it ok and I was eager to read the sequel. The sequel really killed it for me. I'm done with the series.
LOL @ Ames! Fever indecision. I'll eventually read Shadowfever. I'm interested to see how things end, but not dying to. Probably b/c it's been a while since finishing #4, I'm over the whole "OMG, what happens next" anxiety. Vivian, I totally hear ya on the need for something happier. Maybe a hot, juicy PNR to balance it out. :)
Succubus77, Interested to hear how you like The Replacement and Infinity.
Has anyone read/finished Afterlife by Merrie Destefano? This book is frustrating me. WHERE is the world-building? I feel like Alice, dropped into the resurrection world with no idea what all these people are, how they got there, what they're doing/job is .... UGH! I'm a little over 1/2 way thru and only b/c, like a terrible movie, I've invested this much time on it, I have to finish it, no matter how lost I'm feeling. LOL!
Bummer about Afterlife Steph! But I know how you feel about the need to finish. Hopefully, there's something in there to redeem the story :)FINALLY finished
. 5 stars! Just wow, fantasy done amazingly well. Unlike Afterlife, no complaints about the world building and magic system. I fell in love with the two main characters, Vin and Kelsier. It's just a well-crafted story, with everything tying together nicely at the end. Loved loved loved it. Definitely going to read more by Sanderson :)
Thanks, Vivian. Its written beautifully, just equally confusing, IMO. I'll let ya know once I'm done. :)
I'm iced in at home today, with the books I'm reading still at work. Should I read Pleasure Unbound, The Darkest Night, Darkfever, or Dragon Actually on this lazy day?
I'd vote for Pleasure Unbound.Finished Scent of Darkness
for my Bingo read yesterday at lunch. More of a fun read instead of a "OMG! Fantastic" one. But still interesting. Lots of unfinished business, which I was expecting since it's part of a quartet. I'm planning on reading all 4 since I'm really interested in seeing the family break the deal with the devil.Started Alien Tango
. It's living up to my expectations so far. Last year, I fell in love with the first book Touched by an Alien
. Gini Koch gives Kitty a wonderfully humorous voice that edges on sarcastic at times. But not in an annoying way! Can't wait to get back into it.

I'd go with Pleasure Unbound, especially if you like your romances sexy & dirty.

I read Dragon Actually this morning. Short, fun, smutty read. I think I'll start on the Demonica series since it's been recommended twice now.

Well, if I were you I would continue with the dragons by G. A. Aiken. I think they get better as the series goes along.
I'm reading a series about the Ferals by Pamela Palmer:
Desire Untamed
Obsession Untamed
Passion Untamed
Rapture Untamed
This series is like a (just not as big) copy of BDB. There are the funny "h"s in the names of the heros, but everything reads a little toned down in comparison to BDB.
Has anyone read it already?
I was going to rec Pleasure Unbound or Darkest Night. Enjoy whichever you choose, Succubus77. :)Daffodil, I am determined to start this series this year. Hopefully before too long while there are just the two out (Kitty Katt). I remember you saying you really liked the first one. Hope #2 is just as good.
Ames, I'm looking forward to those. Need to get back to it before too much time passes and other books get in the way of me continuing on.
Steph, the 3rd Kitty Katt is out soonish, I've got the 1st 2 to read before then. LOL.Karin Elisabeth, I've got all the Feral Warriors to read but I haven't started yet. Glad you're enjoying them! I'll have to see about bumping them up the list.
Feeling much better now, thanks Steph for the well wishes!I have finished already Cry Wolf, which I loved (except for the bad translation, I promise I'll reread it in English next time, so I don't feel like murduring the translator) and Succubus Dreams. I felt really sad at the end. I hate it when things go so wrong in the stories!!
I've read the first chapter to the next Georgina Kincaid installment, which was at the very end of the book, but I think I'd read something else before going for it.
I can't decide between Kitty and the Midnight Hour, Halfway to the Grave, Stray and Tempting Danger
Glad you're feeling better. :) All good choices! My vote is in the order you listed them. Hope you enjoy your next pick.
I highly recommend Gini Koch's series so far. And I love the cover art:
I think the fourth one is a mock-up. Or maybe it's a clone of the first cover?
I was sitting on the couch laughing like a loon last night while reading Tango. I had to force myself to put it down and go to bed, as it is I only got about 3.5 hours of sleep before work today. Then I had a bunch of errands to run on my lunch hour, so I couldn't sit in the break room and read for more than 10 minutes. :( Darn those utilities for expecting timely payments! LOL. I'm really looking forward to getting home tonight and finishing this up. Of course, then I have to wait 'til April 5 for the third book. Book four is scheduled for October.

Haha, it's confusing with so many books with the same titles. ;) I hope it gets better too! I'm sure it's just now in the beginning before the game has really started.
