[Michelle]

I'm reading and on my nook, and in paperback. I'm making an effort to read more of the books on my nook.

[Lisa Kay, Moderator]

Had to start while I was setting up by 2012 folder... couldn't resist. I just love this series. ☺

[rameau]

This is what I'm reading and loving right now. Thank you NetGalley.

[Lina]

Just started . I have to start reading the synopses a bit better. This is not at all what I was expecting, not bad, just a surprise.

[Heather]

Re-reading .
I know, I know...

LMAO!!

Since Heather was brave and said she was re-reading , I'll admit that I'm re-reading this weekend :)

I was reading but I had to take a break. It's very tedious reading and I haven't figured out why. And the step-father character creeps me out. Not to mention the Earl. Both old pervy creepsters.

[Heather]

Bless you Susan for not leaving me out here by myself! lol

Heather, we have to stick together. I have to admit, I find I'm rolling my eyes often re-reading this LOL And the sad part, I've probably read this 5 or 6 times already.

[Cheryl]

I'm starting the second on the House of Night series .

I've re-read the series several times too, though I admit BD is the one I've read the least, for those exact same eye rolls. lol

[Carolyn F.]

I just finished , loved the book, love the series. I'm now starting .

[Tracey]

I've read about 5 times each :)... Counting down until the movie Friday!

I need to catch up to you in the Stardoc series!

[Lisa Kay, Moderator]

I read probably 5 times too, the others only once. I think I could consider that my first Young Adult book... or is it Teen? Don't read the spoiler if you loved the last one: (view spoiler)[Wish I'd never read the last. Ugh! (hide spoiler)]

[Cheryl]

I completely agree with you Lisa Kay(about the last book). There was just too much going on. I think my favorite in the series was Eclipse.

[Heather]

The last one was my least favorite, Lisa Kay. And I always thought Eclipse was my favorite too, Cheryl, but now that I read the 1st one again, I'm not in the mood to read the rest. I'm over love triangles. lol

Me too, Tracey. My tickets have been burning a hole in my pocket. =)

[Tracey]

and are my favorite two books in the series. The beginning and end to the love story. was just depressing and was good but mostly about action and agnst. I loved the first and last and am really looking forward to the movie Friday!!!!!

[Tracey]

I guess I'm kind of OCD about it though, once I read the first I have to read the rest in order. To me it takes all 4 books to tell the whole story, so I can't stop at one :)

[Kit★]

I still haven't worked up the courage or desire to read 'em yet though my step-mom loaned the series to me like, a year ago. Watched the first movie with my niece when it came out and that's about all I know about the series.

[Susan (susayq ~), Moderator]

Kit, the movie doesn't do the book justice. In fact, the first time I watched the movie, I criticized it the whole time..."that's not what the house is supposed to look like", "who are these people?", etc., etc. Drove my BFF crazy LOL

[Tracey]

I was very critical of the first movie as well! I had read the books first of course and the first one was just so different. However once I got past the fact that the movie was different from the book I learned to accept it for what it was. LOL. Still love the books better, by far, but plan on watching each movie each night of this week leading up to Friday's premiere. :)

[Susan (susayq ~), Moderator]

Oh Tracey, I have the movies out and ready to go this week! I can't wait!

[Heather]

Just talked to a friend that went the premire. She thought it was great. Now I'm super excited. lol Yes, I'm 31 yrs old. ;-)

[Heather]

I saw the movie before reading the books. Didn't know they existed until my BFF dragged me to see the movie. I consumed the series in a week after watching the movie. The books are much better.

[Tracey]

I'm 30 Heather! I don't think we should be ashamed of being fans. I'm not obssesive in the sense that I wouldn't scream and faint if I saw one of the actors or name my children after the characters or tattoo their faces on my body (and I do have tattoos)but I can still love the books and movies like a normal person.

[Susan (susayq ~), Moderator]

*clears throat* I'm 40 and I like it. I'm not all stalkerish with the actors or anything, what they do is their business and it doesn't effect me one way or the other LOL

[Heather]

LOL, all the age revealings. =)
I love ths story, not all into the fan/stalking/actors either. I just hope for a good movie representation of the books I love.

[Tracey]

Ditto

[Tracey]

Just finished which was by far my fav book this year!!! Haven't actually started anything else yet with all the movies I have lined up to watch this week ;). Did just watch Water for Elephants last night and loved it! Now I want to read the book!

I'm adding the Stardoc series to my list of series to finish in 2012.

[Tracey]

OK I'm bored without a book in my hand :). I have a few in my drawer waiting... of course I love Cat and Bones but recently have read so much PNR I feel like I'm ready for a change. So I have which was given to me by a friend. It has received decent reveiws here on GR but I'm not sure if I will enjoy the Regency period... decisions decisions

[rameau]

It's an interesting premise, but I can't really get into the story. The characters tell me they want something and still they act the opposite. This might just be the European talking but some of the emphasis and little details stink Americanisms, even when the Scots are in focus.

[rameau]

Didn't turn out to be my cup of tea, but then I picked up and so far I'm positively surprised.

[Tracey]

OK and the winner is: . And so far I'm liking it :)

[Lina]

I've noticed that's a #7 in the Fallen Angels series. Would you recommend the series so far Tracey?

[Heather]

Reading .
It's a 28 hour audiobook that I started on Monday, I'm only 4 hours in. I'll be lucky to finish it by month end. lol

[Tracey]

CaroB didn't realize this was a series, it was just handed to me by a friend. So far I'm really enjoying it, and seems like it could definitely be a stand-alone book. Very interesting premise with a hero who is told he is terminally ill, so he runs away from his priveledged life as a Duke to be able to come to terms with it alone and then meets a beautiful actress and travels with her family a troupe of traveling actors. Right now the obstacle between them is he doesn't think it would be right to start a relationship with her since he believes he's dying. She doesn't know. Even though I might be setting myself up for a sad ending (fingers crossed that I'm not) so far I'm really enjoying the story!

[Cheryl]

Still working on which is very good. Just started and so far I like it alot.

[Susan (susayq ~), Moderator]

I'm reading and am really liking it. Both of the main characters are very snarky. There's something about the writing of this though. There are times I have to go back and reread sentences to understand them. Obviously I've done it enough to notice that I've done it LOL

[Tracey]

I don't like when I have to go back and re-read something. It pulls me out of the story

[Vanessa]

Have just about finished Your Voice In My Head by Emma Forrest. It is fantastic! It;s a true story about a girls battle with suicidal tendencies and how she spwaks to a psychiatrist but he is battling his own problems because he has cancer. He hides this from his patients so it doesn;t interupt their sessions. Its amazing it;s a true story but it is and is quite remarkable.

[Vanessa]

After I have finished this book, I am going to start aother Jodie Picoult book but am going to shelve Harevesting the Heart for a while. I started reading another one and it has pulled me in straight away! It's called House Rules. Sorry Tracey! Am going to give Harvesting the Heart away for a bit because it isn;t doing much for me. Maybe this review will help you a bit?! Sorry it's not a good one! I may get back to it at some stage but I can;t really stick through something anymore that doesn;t interest me when there is so much more to read out there! Oh, and also Tracey, I still don;t know how you do it! I got five hours sleep last night a feel crap! And that;s on 5! Good on you for doing what you do! You should be the main in the film that;s just come out I Don;t Know How She Does It! I don;t know how you do it! AND one last thing, Happy Thanksgiving for all you Americans! We don;t have it over here and I'm not sure when it is but only know that it is around this time(still to come? Gone?) So I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving and from what I know of Tracey, she will do it all and celebrate it it all and still have do everything and have everything under control! I Don;t Know How She Does It!

[Tracey]

LOL! You flatter me Vanessa! Thanksgiving is actually this Thursday here in the states, and I'm getting off easy I'm only bringing a pie :).
Based on your experience with Harvesting the Heart I probably will hold off for awhile on that one as well. Like you said, there is so much else out there! I actually just finished which was heart wrenching and fantastic! Would definitely recommend. Now back to my vampires, hmmmm let's see or I have both in my drawer :)

[Tracey]

And the winner is...

[Susan (susayq ~), Moderator]

I'm reading and LOVING it! But, being the book hoarder I am, I started this morning while I was playing on the computer. And let's not forget, I have pulled up to read as well ROFLOL

[Tracey]

More than one book at a time is too much for me! I tried it and managed but found I like one book so much more than the other that I only wanted to read it, and I think held the other book to a higher standard because it wasn't as good in my opinion. I think I'll stick to one at a time from now on :)
