I agree. Shay got on my nerves quite a bit. I'm pro Ren as well.

[Heidi]

Now that it is basically Feb. I wanted to invite others who are reading books in the Feb theme to join us over in the challenges/theme read thread. Feb. themes are as follows:
1. Valentines Day - love stories
2. President's Day (US) - historical books
3. Chinese New Year - books about fresh starts and/or characters with moves or big changes

Feb. is also our first ever featured author month and Feb author is Tamora Pierce - so also feel free to join us in that thread :) Thanks!

i'm not far into Uglies, but it's starting to draw me in, I'm interested to see what happens to tally. i haven't started nightshade yet, but i plan to soon.

[Cassi aka Snow White]

Oh I LOOOOVE Tamora Pierce. I'm trying not to do rereads at the moment (she needs to finish Mastiff ASAP!

I just finished and really enjoyed it. I'm also almost done with my audiobook

[Cassi aka Snow White]

I didn't mean to post that already. I'm in the indecisive about what to move onto stage....again

I liked this series.

I just finished I Am Number Four. I honestly could not put this book down! For me it had the same un-put-down-able excitement of reading The Hunger Games. Start this book when you have a free night to finish it!

[Tiphaine]

Currently reading and enjoying it a lot.

[Lloyd]

For those who have Kindles, I've heard good things about this book and finally decided to download it...because it is .99 cents today!

[Lloyd]

I've been put off regarding the controversy and comments about as well, but after my wife read and actually seemed to enjoy it, I've kept it on the TBR stack. I still haven't gotten to it yet, but one of these days...

[Traci]

I feel like this will be one of the rare cases where the movie is better than the book. I Am Number Four had good action that can be brought to life on the screen, but the grammatical errors and terrible writing just could not redeem it in my eyes.

Plus, James Frey is a big jerk. :p

[Awesomevegan (AKA JenReads)]

I just started on my Kindle and I am still reading my ARC of from netgalley on my computer.

[Nicole]

I am currently reading Lingerand Tiger's Curse

Wow! I almost bought that the other day. Glad I read this! I think that is one book I can skip.

Every time I see that it just...ugh. I guess that's a big reason why I still haven't read it. I regret having spent money on it. :(

I haven't been intending to read this book because well bad grammar (unless its my own) eats at my soul in books and newspapers.

And now that I've read that & it sounds so sketchy--especially for the actual writer, I wouldn't buy a copy on moral grounds.

[Lloyd]

Well, I did a little old-fashioned book shopping at lunch today and bought a couple physical honest-to-goodness tree killing books.

I got the new YA Jack book and picked up since it was on sale and I see everyone talking about it all the time.

No, it's not what I'm reading right now. But I bought 'em. Soon!

Right now, I'm still working on finishing up . (Enjoyed this series and am going to miss it when I'm done.)

[Gwennie]

Wow! That makes me not want to read it or see the movie... That guy is a conniving piece of poop!

[Lloyd]

Wendy wrote: "Wow! That makes me not want to read it or see the movie... That guy is a conniving piece of poop!"

Amen. Plus, when I got the book and the first thing I saw on the cover was a blurb from Michael Bay saying how great it is? (Not the guy you want to endorse anything with an actual STORY - if you can judge him by his movies) :P

[Gwennie]

Of course he endorced it, he's producing the movie. I'm rolling my eyes right now, btw.

It's all about making money.

[Arphaxad]

Aw man, that's a shame! And also decidedly weird. I'm even less sure whether to read this now. Maybe I'll get round to grabbing it from the library at some point, but...man. D:

[Stormi (StormReads)]

It is not on my TBR list, so if I read it it will be a long time from now.

[Cassi aka Snow White]

MORE WOES WITH MY JACKY FABER LISTENING!!!

The CDs I ordered from Amazon only have 12---there are suppose to be 13. There isn't even a spot for a 13th CD.

Flipping out now.

Started listening to but plan to stop as soon as I get a replacement CD set from amazon.

[Heidi]

Cassi - that really sucks! I missed the entire 13th disk of book 4 it was just missing. You need to get a membership to the Philly Free Library! It has all the Jacky audiobooks on their overdrive. Do it!!! I did and can't be happier. I also made my sister give me her library card number so I can use her Overdrive in MN. I am evil!

[Heidi]

Lloyd I agree with you about Chaos Walking - great great series. Hope you enjoy Graceling you tree killer you.

Signed

A slightly better tree killer because I use the library. Hahaha

Oh, my wife and I make great use of the library as well. (She gets to stay home and finds the time to read two or so books a week. Yes, I am jealous.)

[Cassi aka Snow White]

I'm on book 4 too!! I just got them to send me a new one and if it's missing the 13th CD I'm going to pitch a proper fit--but not to Amazon, to the producer of the CD.

Amazon's customer service was clearly out of like Indian (or so the accent sounded) and the lady had NO CLUE what an audiobook was. She asked me if there were pages missing from my book. I had to explain like 3 times that a CD was missing.

[Cassi aka Snow White]

Now I'm very paranoid since it happen to Heidi too. The problem is not Amazon, its the company that makes the CDs. If this one is messed up I will be calling and I will not be quite as nice as I was to Amazon.

Yeah, gotta love outsourcing.

[Stormi (StormReads)]

Just finished now I have to decide if I can wait till I get all whole series from B&N through the mail or just go and buy the ebook version of Bloodfever NOW! LOL It was a really good book so thanks to all who recommended this series I really think I am going to enjoy it. :)

[Gwennie]

I can't wait for Shadowfever!! I track it and it should be here tomorrow! Thank goodness!

I started and i already love it. Bones and Cat are hilarious (he's also hot). I think it is probably another new favorite, provided the others are this good too.

I fell in love with BDB, Fever and Night Huntress in 3 months...

[Gwennie]

I'm loving it. I'm finding myself laughing outloud which is a great thing.

[rosyaffair]

I'm reading Annexedby Sharon Doger and My Big Nose (andother natural disasters)by Sydney Salters - funny book :P

[Bethany]

I just finished and now I'm getting ready to begin . I really enjoyed Shadowspell...cant wait until July when the nexy book in that series comes out.....and I'm lookin forward to seeing what Halo has in store for me!!

[Victoria]

I'm reading Judgment in Death by JD Robb. Not YA, but who doesn't love this series?!?

Hmmmm...same audiobook...same problem. Weird. Very weird.

[Heidi]

p.s. I agree. James Frey is a tool. Thanks for the article!

Sorry - but I am Number Four rates a four out of ten. It's cliche, excessive, and written by a hack. You outta find the article on line on how it came about. And the crappiest page is when the alien reveals he's an alien to his flat character love interest who automatically accepts him after a four sentence explanation. Don't waste your time with this one -- the movie is going to be better than the book! Comes out Feb. 18.

[Stormi (StormReads)]

Reading so far its okay but its not wowing me. I might be moving on to ARC. Then go back to the other book.

I'm assuming there is more to the story right? It doesn't just END without conclusions. This is not fun. Supposedly they're overnighting a new one to me so we'll see what happens.

My problem with getting the books off overdrive or audible is that I listen to them while driving. My iPod is broken & even if it weren't finding dead air is frustrating. CDs are so easy while driving.

Revolution was sad but what an amazing book it is. It broke my heart, but I loved it so much!

Understandable. I am all about the fm transmitters. I have 4 different kinds! If you can't fix your mp3 player and want to get a cheap one (like a sansa, which get great reviews), you could get an fm transmitter for it (unsually under $15) and listen through your fm radio of your car. They make fm transmitters for everything now. I even got a universal one so I could listen to those Playaway things in the car.

The Hunger Games...I know, I know, I need to catch up.

[Stormi (StormReads)]

I think I am the only one here who just didn't get into The Hunger Games..I read the first one and tried to read the second one and just didn't get far..

[Liz]

I downloaded INSIDE MY HEAD from my library. So far, so good.

[Arphaxad]

I've started , which has been sitting on my shelf for ages.

It's somewhat strange so far, and I've got pretty much no idea what's going on. But it's entertaining, so I'll keep going and see if the plot decides to make itself known at some point.. :)
