Against your advice, I finished
because I had checked out the second book
and thought "What the Hell." I am so super annoyed with myself... Eternal has all different characters in it. You can't even find out what happens with Kieran (I remember his name now) and Quince until the third book. RIDICULOUS! lol
Oh, so she pulls a "Wicked Lovely," hah. Are you going to read the third then?? What did you think of Tantalize?
Started
and quite pleased so far (featured author of the month challenge).I'll miss you all when I'm at camp. Taking my Kindle and a little nervous that's the worst idea ever. But I can't bear to be apart from it.
I just finished
and I really liked it! I didn't really expect to get upset by anything in the book since I'm not really the emotional type (except when they play the Humane Society commercials) but the part where her grandpa told her that he wants her to stay killed me.

We'll miss you! Hope you get to use your Kindle :)
I just finished A Discovery of Witches.. which I thought was amazing!! And I am on the last book of The Immortals series The Realms of the Gods.. I have so many books on my to-read list!! Any suggestions??? I LOVE this book group by the way! All of the books that have been recommended to me so far have been excellent!
Heidi (don't listen to me) wrote: "Julie are you going to read
? I really liked it."I do want to read that one, it will probably be awhile before I get to it since I have so many others I need to read first.
Stormi wrote: "Hey Jennifer! I loved A Discovery of Witches too, I can't wait till the next one comes out! :)"Me either.. I loved the historical references throughout the book.. it made the story so much more interesting!
Hey Cassi, don't forget that
is released next week, too! I know you were thinking about that one, and I'm really curious what you'll think of it. Although, um, I guess that's highly inappropriate Girl Scout Camp reading material, too.So glad you liked If I Stay, Julie--I was surprised by how well-written and emotional that was, too.
I have Discovery of Witches on my Kindle and I like the writing, but the size scares me a little bit. I keep hearing that it should have been edited down for length.
I'm only at page 70, but I really like her writing, she makes everything a bit more realistic :) And it's an easy ready even though the subject is kinda serious..

I know, haha. It's a funny book because you don't expect it to be as good as it is. I just finished
today.
Wendy Darling wrote: "Oh, so she pulls a "Wicked Lovely," hah. Are you going to read the third then?? What did you think of Tantalize?"I thought that Tantalize was painstakingly slow... The only reason I even read through it was to see if Kieran and Quince end up together. The end was better than the whole book put together, which in a way was the whole reason for me to start Eternal. Then, when I realized that Eternal introduced all new characters, none of them from Tantalize, I was a little annoyed. But Eternal is a way better book than Tantalize, so I guess I'll be reading Blessed. I am curious as to how Smtih will throw all the characters from her first two books together.

3/4 done with
and am honestly not thrilled with it yet. sure intersting things happen but right now i'm just reading it so i can get it read not because i have to see what happens next.
I finished Room this weekend and I thought it was amazing. I am struggling with coming up with a follow-up book because I think anything I read next will pale in comparison. I need to cleanse my pallet with something mindless...

me too...I read the Trylle Trilogy in a week! At first I wasn't sure if I would love it; but once I was in...I was IN and couldn't put it down....LOVE WENDY AND LOKI!

The story was so powerful. I decided to go with Witches of the East End next.
so i finished
last night i couldnt put it down no wonder im super shattered today.. so starting on the last one
I just finished
and
. The former was super amazing (oh, Ash...) and the latter was cute.I think I'm going to start a review copy of
. The author was nice enough to send me it along with a copy of the second book. Has anyone read these?
I read the first one, Victoria, I need to read the second...both for review, too. :) I liked the Trylle trilogy too (it's a fast, lighthearted read). I didn't really care for ROOM, though, but I'm definitely in the minority on that one!
I loved
and I think I may start
next.
I just finished Switched, Torn, and Ascend... all in two days!! Great series.. does anyone have any suggestions on books similar to The Immortals series by Tamora Pierce??

I am now reading The Cypress House by Michael Koryta, The Last Time I Was Me by Cathy Lamb, and The Kindness of Strangers by Katrina Kittle.
