Heidi OMG. This is the most ADHD thread! I was gone for 2 days and 15 conversations are going on within the thread. Welcome to the crazy thread Denise! Glad you came out of your shell :)

I have decided that some I like and some I don't..I think its one of those iffy genres for me. :)

Stormi (StormReads) (bmreviewsohmy) Okay so this is not a YA book but I just had to say that I listened to Nice Girls Don't Have Fangs (Jane Jameson, #1) by Molly Harper and it was so much fun to listen too! I love Molly Harper's books, she cracks me up!

For a YA book I am reading Sectors by Brick Marlin which is sort of strange.

I like reading them, but mostly I end up not liking them!

Wow Cassi.... I don't think you should let that guy get to you. Yeah, he's a prig, but I mean, it's one out of a million. What you do in this case, is ignore him and anything pertaining to him and focus on other things. I'd say it'd be reasonable if you were being ganged up on by quite a few people. You told him how you felt, if he's going to call you prejudice because HE'S the prejudice one, that's his problem. People online can think they're the smartest genius in the world when they're actually minuscule. You stuck up for yourself very well in my opinion though. :)

Kayla (kaylawrites89) | 352 comments I'm reading Babe in Boyland by Jody Gehrman and Burn Bright (Night Creatures, #1) by Marianne de Pierres


message 10309: by Cassi aka Snow White (new)

Cassi aka Snow White Haggard | 2261 comments I think part of why it made me so mad was this is an issue I've done soul-searching on after my cousins death. And he's a debut author and he's publicly being an ass. I think I'm going to remove my review of his upcoming book from my blog, delete him from google+, unfollow and not recommend his book to anyone.

If I were an asshole like he is I would take this to the blogsphere & create a mess. I'll tell people the truth if it comes up but I'm not going to personally try to take him down or anything (though it's tempting. Have you ever heard the quote about not angering people who buy ink by the barrel?)

He's been very silent on it but that doesn't make up for him being so judgmental in the first place. I am owed an apology and the clock has been ticking for too long for it to mean anything at this point.


message 10310: by Kayla (new)

Kayla (kaylawrites89) | 352 comments Yeah, I know what you mean Cassi. And I think by you not suggesting his book or even if you hear people talking about it, tell them that the guy is rude and his book isn't worth the time or money. There's nothing worse for an author then for their book to get bad reviews/bad buying rates. But yes, I'd say delete him from your life.

That's why I didn't understand why he said it and furthermore why he didn't immediately apologize.


message 10312: by Stormi (StormReads) (new)

Stormi (StormReads) (bmreviewsohmy) Well, I looked that guys book up and it didn't seem like my sort of book..lol. So I guess I won't be missing anything cause I won't read it.

Jennifer (jsills3) | 159 comments Kayla,

I am not a big zombie fan either but I don't like to give up too early. Thanks :)


message 10316: by Cassi aka Snow White (new)

Cassi aka Snow White Haggard | 2261 comments I quite liked it but quite a few people didn't. I think it depends on how you feel about Mary.


message 10317: by Jennifer (new)

Jennifer (jsills3) | 159 comments Yeah, so far I am digging Mary but the story is just a little slow. Hoping it picks up.

message 10346: by Cassi aka Snow White (new)

Cassi aka Snow White Haggard | 2261 comments It's an ARC copy from Netgalley. If you have a blog/review books regularly you could probably sign up and request it.


Tvaleros (SpadesHighReads) (spadeshighreads) | 1 comments Hi everyone, I got a proposal (is that the right word? hmm) Anyways, I got asked to do a Review for a contemporary and Im not really into contemporary, plus I'm still kind of swamped with Reviews.
So if anyone is interested in doing a review for The Caretakers by Shauna Nosler Email me here on Goodreads =)

Thank you! and good night! **bow** lol

P.S.
An ecopy or an ARC copy can be provided via the Author


message 10348: by Taddy (new)

Taddy Just finished Tempus by Tyra Lynn....wow just Wow. It was the most well written YA paranormal romance novel I have ever read and my favorite to date which says a lot. It blew me away which is very difficult to do. I read a lot, as in 2-3 books a week and am an adult who loves YA books, so I like lots of books, buts only really really love a few. This was one!

It goes into a category with a bunch of my favorite great YA Indie reads: the Celestra Series by Addision Moore, The Zellie Wells Trilogy by Stacey Benefiel and the Talisman Series by Brenda Pandos all of which have been recent reads of mine and ALL are absolutely worth reading! I've read lots of others in between but those are my stand outs.


message 10349: by Kayla (new)

Kayla (kaylawrites89) | 352 comments must also add Infinity (Chronicles of Nick #1) by Sherrilyn Kenyon to my currently reading.


message 10350: by [deleted user] (new)
