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.

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!

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.
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.
Just started
on audiobook. Because I like the narrator. Didn't even realize the writer lives in Kentucky which is totally a bonus.Still reading
and enjoying it.
I'm reading
Rise of the Evening Star and
Infernal Devices. Both are series books (different series but both are good).
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.
Cassi wrote: "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.
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..
Hi Heidi,You can buy both
and
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
is coming out in a few days YAY! So I have the first spiderwick book and the
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!

next-"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
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!

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.
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!) :)

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
Kristina wrote: "I am getting ready to start The Sea of Monsters"I really enjoyed that series. Can't wait to read them all again. (I'm tempted now, but better wait.)

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 :)
I have a problem... I already have like 4 books in progress... and I started
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 lived in Phoenix for about 17 years. I've been away since 1998 and haven't missed it...ever.
just got
and am in the middle of a really ehh paranormal romance book that I want to stop to read Peach Keeper but I will never remember what was going on if I do!
Just finished
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?
Gini wrote: "Just finished
