I want to read Hold Me Closer, Necromancer too. It's on my list.

I love well written books, but I don't like when a book sounds too poetic. I'm not sure what is meant by 'prose' and when I look it up it means the typical style of writing that is unlike poems. To write something as one would say it, and that is what I like.

"Prose" refers to writing that isn't poetry. That's the simple definition. Of course, it is actually more complicated than that, but you would need to be an English geek to care (I'm an English geek).

I don't usually enjoy prose that attempts to mimic natural speech. You would probably think that the authors whom I prefer are "too poetic." But that's okay; the world would be a boring place if we all had identical tastes.

[Gwennie]

My mom prefers authors like that also, it's all about style and prefrence, :)

[Stormi (StormReads)]

I just want my story to entertain me and if it does that I am okay with it..LOL I liked HP I didn't like Twilight..I won't read The Golden Compass...but will try most anything as long as the story hold my attention. =) For me it really doesn't have anything to do with writing style I guess..I found HP interesting and Twilight to be boring. =)

I love Marian Keyes! This is the first of the Walsh sisters books - they are not a series but if you don't read them in order you find out how the other ones end.

[Sara]

I decided to read . I plan on going back to the Fever series, but don't want to read them back to back because I tend to get bored with a series when I do that.

[Stormi (StormReads)]

I liked Wonderous Strange. :)

[Jaimie]

Gosh is it Hannah? Anywho I do think she will write it but I don't think she is going to rush it because it will be the final Walsh sister book and it has got to be epic considering how outlandish she is. I loved it when she was a PI. I guess her book will be when she grows up finally but that is hard to imagine.

I will say that the main character is a bit annoying, but overall the book is good. I really enjoyed it. I plan on continuing this series that's for sure. Let me know what you think when you're done.

[Gwennie]

Everyone's right, Sara. In book 3 things really get awesome and intense.

do you know the order of the books Jaimie??

[Susan]

Thank you so much Catie, I hate to read books out of order!!

[Heidi]

I'll give Marian Keyes a try! For those who like good chick lit I am a big fan of Katherine Center. I also just finished a book Jaimie recommended and really enjoyed it.

[Heidi]

I am reading - still listening to Bloody Jack book 5 on audio.

[Kourtni]

Heidi how is Nightingale so far?!

I only read about 75 pages so far, but I really liked what I read.

[Kourtni]

I would love to know how you like it when you're finished.

You will like her - she is funny and yet her books usually have a deeper subplot than most chick lit. The Walsh sisters stories get better as they go along IMO.

[Susan]

I'm going to give Katherine Center a try! I love chick lit almost as much as YA....... Thanks Heidi!!

[Zara]

I am reading City of Bones, so far its really good :)

Yay! I won last year on here and really liked it. I also really liked .

is such an amazing book.

[Jen]

just finished

have now started

Also working my way through

[Traci]

Finished last night and I'm so sad that it was the last. I'm going to miss reading about Mac and Barrons, that's for sure.

I'm now starting . When I heard Hilary Duff wrote a book I decided that I pretty much had to read it.. purely for entertainment's sake.

[Stormi (StormReads)]

Traci,

I am curious to see if you like Elixer or not..I am a little curious about that book but not sure if I am curious enough to read it..LOL

[Jill]

Just started Bloodfever and so far it is living up to my expectations. I never usually read a series back to back but this one just leaves every thing hanging. Plus they are quick reads. Love it.

HAHA I know exactly what you mean with this statement.

That's why you let someone else tell you what it was like. :p

I read Elixir last year. It was decent. I don't remember connecting with the characters though. I might have to reread this one later this year to see if I like it better. It's a quick and easy read though, at least to me it was.

[Gwennie]

I wish I was at home right now reading instead of here at work.

I'm halfway through Dreamfever.

[Kayla]

i am currently reading 2 novels, 1 of which i am reading aloud to my fiance and the other i'm reading just to myself. Tiger's Curse by, Colleen Houck i am reading aloud, so far it is an incredible story and very intriguing. beautiful creatures by, kami garcia and margaret stohl is the second book. it has also been very intriguing so far and i find i can't put it down.

[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

[Gwennie]

Ugh!! I'm almost done with Dreamfever and Shadowfever hasn't even shipped out yet! Whine whine whine!

I was hoping it would get here by the time I was done.

[Kevin]

I really enjoyed I Am Number Four. This book was a read in one night thrill ride! Read this one before you see the movie.

[Gwennie]

I'm really disturbed about this! I've been trying to drag it out and I keep going to Amazon to see if the order status has changed to preparing to ship and it just isnt!

Maybe tomorrow.

I'm going to have to read that now. I swear I am never going to get through all the books on my to be read list if I continue to add more to it. But I can't help but reading suggestions and then if they are interesting adding them to be read.

[Amanda]

Let me know what you think of that one. I have it and just never got around to reading it."

Stacia, it was a decent YA paranormal book. It wasn't like most of the other paranormal YA books I've read. Most of the book you can't take seriously, some of it was weird, some of it was funny, none of it was really serious.

[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

Cool. Thanks for letting me know.

I sure hope I agree with you. I am about 1/2 way through. I want to finish it and Zombies vs. Unicorns before the month is through. I want to start fresh and devour The Hunger Games trilogy in February. :) I am late... I know...

[Cassi aka Snow White]

Even though you gave it 3 stars Amanda your review made me curious enough to watch and see what others think. (Maybe I have a warm spot for necromancer series because the Abhorsen series by Garth Nix is one of my all time favorites)

Well I didn't like Infinite Days I never even finished it, so I hope you are liking it better than I did.

[Cassi aka Snow White]

I read His Dark Materials during high school. Really enjoyed it though I felt it got more and more complicated as it went on. Not sure why they started making movies out of that series--clearly when you got to the dusty stuff it was too complicated for a children's movie (heck it was complicated to read).

[Kayla]

well, despite it's complicated reading, i thought it was very good. amber spyglass was my favorite book of the series. :) but i thought the abhorsen series was difficult to read at times as well. but both sets are very good. i read them both when i was in middle school

It has gotten more interesting. I have to read more. I don't often leave books unfinished. I will try to finish it tonight or tomorrow. I have Idol tonight... cuts into my reading time a bit LOL.

I hope so, too. It starts slow at the beginning and then it slowly starts to pick up and gets better. I even put it down and started reading other things in between, then I gave it another try, kept on reading and turned out loving it. The ending especially, was so good.
