I looked for the first book "With Good Behavior" and could not find it anywhere in my library system, which is odd. Bummer!

Wow thanks for some of the most bizarre and funny moments of my life Cassi I can't believe how she completely derailed.

Here is a link where you can read the book,http://www.smashwords.com/extreader/r...
As an aspiring author myself I hope I never act that way. And the writing is dismal.

I already like her so far. I had no idea that I'd like Manny, but he's been great.

Brittany (finally graduated and can once again read for fun) | 1328 comments Doc Jane said that Manny is a lot like Wrath, so I can't imagine not liking him. He's got that whole, super tough exterior but I take care of my own thing going for him.

I'm reading Rhev's book right now and I'm loving it... but it's HUGE!


message 7461: by Daria (new)

Daria (dariadeptula) Just finished A Northern Light  by Jennifer Donnelly , which was great!

I was just commenting in another group that it seems like the books are getting bigger and bigger.

Yeah, that's a pretty common theme as series book get more and more popular. Someone told me it was because publishers where more pressured to get info out so the editing process gets much much shorter.

Glad to bring you some amusement. If I ever act like that I hope someone has drugged me so I have an excuse to act so ridiculous. It was absurd and did so much worse for her writing "career" than the review ever could.


message 7466: by Jessica (new)

Jessica Just finished Sorcery and Cecelia or The Enchanted Chocolate Pot.

I knew I was going to finish it either on the train to work or during lunch and I couldn't decide whether I wanted to read The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society or Looking for Alibrandi next so I ended up bringing all three books with me. It's a good thing I carry a big bag. I decided on The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society first.


Cassi aka Snow White Haggard | 2261 comments Just started Saving Ceecee Honeycutt by Beth Hoffman on audiobook. Because I like the narrator. Didn't even realize the writer lives in Kentucky which is totally a bonus.

Still reading Princess for Hire (Princess for Hire, #1) by Lindsey Leavitt and enjoying it.


message 7468: by Lisa (new)

Lisa | 2 comments I'm reading Blessed (Tantalize, #3) by Cynthia Leitich Smith and hoping for City of Fallen Angels (The Mortal Instruments, #4) by Cassandra Clare or So Shelly by Ty Roth next-


message 7469: by Gwennie (new)

Gwennie (blessedwannab) I picked up Lover Unleashed today, and going to be starting it in about a half hour!! whoo hoo!!


message 7470: by Julie (new)

Julie S. I'm reading Rise of the Evening Star (Fablehaven, #2) by Brandon Mull Rise of the Evening Star and Infernal Devices (The Hungry City Chronicles, #3) by Philip Reeve Infernal Devices. Both are series books (different series but both are good).


message 7471: by Heidi (new)

Heidi Jenna Lamia is my favorite narrator Cassi!


message 7472: by Peep (Pop! Pop!) (new)

Peep (Pop! Pop!) I'm listening to Carter Finally Gets It by Brent Crawford and it's hilarious.


Cassi aka Snow White Haggard | 2261 comments Heidi I wrote: "Jenna Lamia is my favorite narrator Cassi!"

I loved her in Secret Life of Bees and I remembered you saying this book was narrated by the same person so I checked it out.

She is also Skeeter on the Help and Grace on Shiver/Linger. She narrated The Adoration of Jenna Fox, but even she couldn't help that book.


Cassi aka Snow White Haggard | 2261 comments I didn't like Shiver so I don't think I'll listen to it or Linger. That may lead to me driving off of a cliff to kill the mopey teenagers trapped in my radio.

However I'm waiting for the library to get the Help.

The Help is not even in the same league of Shiver! It is sooooo much better. I hope you love the audio when you get it :)

aaahhaa I thought it was her! I didn't mind her in Help but I kept thinking back to Shiver..


message 7479: by Heidi (new)

Heidi I love her Nikki - sorry you weren't a fan :(


message 7480: by Nix (new)

Nix | 1 comments Hi Heidi,

You can buy both With Good Behavior by Jennifer Lane and Bad Behavior by Jennifer Lane on Amazon (paperback, kindle) and from omnificpublishing.com (paperback, PDF, link to kindle). With Good Behavior is available as a nookbook too, I believe. :)

And I agree with Jamie -- the series is Awesome!

Agreed! I'm anxiously awaiting Red Glove to get to my house already. And
Plague (Gone, #4) by Michael Grant is coming out in a few days YAY!

So I have the first spiderwick book and the The Poison Eaters and Other Stories by Holly Black to read but I just can't seem to get into the short story one, has anyone read it?

It is so funny, you have to request it or the cd. He's 14 and going into 9th grade. Girls, etc. Stuff I wouldn't like if I were reading the book (maybe), but the narrator is hilarious! Oh my goodness!

hey lisa, have you read Tantalize andEternal also? just wondering if you liked the series. found the first one at half price books and thought it looked good. thanks, amy


message 7484: by Lisa (last edited Mar 30, 2011 07:56AM) (new)

Lisa | 2 comments I read Tantalize and skipped straight toBlessed since it is actually the "sequel" to Tantalize. I have Eternal out from the libray now, but decided to skip it for the moment, as it is not about the same characters. I enjoyed Tantalize and am also liking Blessed. They are quick easy reads. I'll get to Eternal soon!

message 7486: by Lloyd (new)

Lloyd | 415 comments I haven't checked in in forever. I've been kinda reading restless lately. Have just been reading bits of lots of different things. Can't seem to focus on one book right now. I'm not sure if I have my new Kindle to blame, or if I'm just in a reading slump.


message 7487: by Jamie (new)

Jamie (bookworm20) | 67 comments haha GO CON SERIES!

I just finished Master and Apprentice (Gavyn Donatti, #2) by Sonya Bateman and I will be starting My One and Only by Kristan Higgins later on today! :)


message 7488: by Lloyd (last edited Mar 30, 2011 01:21PM) (new)

Lloyd | 415 comments Actually, many of the books that I have started I am just too embarrassed to mention. I must withhold titles to preserve what little of my masculinity that is left. (part of the beauty of a Kindle...people can't see what you are reading!) :)

I knew you were a huge Jamie fan. :P"


Alas, Jamie and Clare will have to wait for another time. (The only reason I know that much is my wife is a huge fan of these books. And I used to sell Diana Gabaldon books when I worked at Waldenbooks in Phoenix.) :P

I just read the first one a few weeks ago and loved it. I read it after I saw the movie so I think I enjoyed it even more lol I can't wait to finish them :)


Awesomevegan (AKA JenReads) (awesomevegan) | 325 comments I have a problem... I already have like 4 books in progress... and I started Bumped by Megan McCafferty I didn't want it to expire from my NetGalley before I got a chance to read it. I am enjoying it so far.

I just moved from Phoenix. We lived there for seven years! I definitely don't miss the weather."


I lived in Phoenix for about 17 years. I've been away since 1998 and haven't missed it...ever.

message 7497: by Gini (new)

Gini (camp80) | 88 comments Just finished The Hunger Games (The Hunger Games, #1) by Suzanne Collins and it really is the best book I've maybe ever read! Can anyone tell me if the rest of the trilogy is as good?

It's a matter of opinion. I think the first was the strongest - but the whole story overall is good, yes. :)
