Shiver was okay to me..def a little slow but I could not get into Linger. Sam annoys me...maybe it was just the audio voice that annoyed me but it was enough to turn me off :(

The mopey melodrama annoyed me. I think Shiver is a book that's for certain people. I'm just not one of them (and I wished I'd known it beforehand)
now I've finished
and it was amazing. Though a hard time at the beginning but then it was really great - and I love the characters - I already miss them :(
The Host was cool. It had more depth than Twilight.I finished
and I didn't like it as much as the previous books. I wanted to begin the fourth immediately but I think I'm going to read
first.
I'm working on
but it was dragging horribly so I'm also reading
,
and
. I've never attempted 4 books before but I was excited about them all!
I'm reading
haha, i got it from the library and I'm trying to go through all my checked out books so that I can concentrate on my spring cleaning and read through all the books I own but haven't read yet (all 50+!)
Finished
(which was amazing!) and
. Currently reading
and debating whether to start
or
on audio book...
I'm currently reading Sh*t My Dad Says and hope to start Blue Bloods series. I've heard such great things about this series and can't wait to read them.
I've heard the Blue Bloods series is like The Clique with vampires...which is fine if you like that kind of stuff, I guess.

Emily I read the first Blue Bloods and it was alright. I heard that the first one was the most boring and that it gets better so I'll probably try the rest of the series sometime soon!

Julie wrote: "Cassi- Wow, that author completely lost it! It's really kind of humorous."Like I said. Someone tweeted it and I'm like WHOA CRAZYTRAIN. It was amusing, but in the "Does she really think this is okay?" kinda of way.
In other unnecessary gossip. Check out this tweet from one of my favorite blogs. I'm dying in anticipation of what they have to say.

I noticed several of those - she misspelled basic words.
I cannot believe my eyes. That author is crazy. How does she expect to get readers with an attitude like that? wow.
OMG, that was horrible. That author is just not professional. I put up a DNF review of a book and the author was the first one to comment on my review and was very polite and said maybe I could try her next book that I might like it better..now that is professional..this other authors..she has done flipped her wig..LOL

Wow. That's unprofessional and just plain rude. She won't get any new readers if she acts like that!
I can not stop laughing - that chick is crazy! I loved how bad her comments were and how she kept demanding the review be taken down.
Holy crap that biatch is crazy! Sorry..but damn! Hahaha there is NO WAY anyone is going to read her work after that. How can you be an "author" and not know the difference between "your" and "you're"?
Just started reading Graceling and picked up Enchanted Ivy from the library, so I'll have to start reading it, too.
Just started
I am trying to read the 3 books I have from the library, then going to focus on reading at least 10-15 of ones I own but haven't read yet or friends have lent to me. This is one of the 3 library books, I think it'll be a quick read once I get into it!

Stacia... I LOVE the new name. It takes me back to the days when Stacia's got a fever... I hope you find an amazing Hellren someday!
Thanks :) Actually, I'm very happily married and couldn't imagine wanting anyone else in real life, but I can still pretend that a Hellren is in my (fantasy) future, right?

It was too slow for me. I read it but was frustrated the whole time."
Strange how people either really like it or don't like it much at all. I read it in under 2 days. Just over 24 hours I think. I loved it. That is fast for me to finish a book.
