Wasn't it amazing? So much fun! I guess I'm just going to have to keep re-reading it until the next one comes out.

I totally agree! One of the best books I have read in a long time. I plan on reading it a whole lot more before book 2, and the ending to book one is amazing!

You have to let me know about Graffiti Moon because I really want to buy it but I don't usually buy books unless I've heard a lot of good reviews for them. But that one just sounds so good.

I know, me too!! Though I wonder if the next book will still be mostly about Nora and Bram or about Pamela. I think I would really like to read more about Pamela.
Did you read Born at Midnight? I'm really enjoying it.

: ) When we like a book, it is a winner. I wasn't sure about the setting but I really did like it that it was set on the Titanic. I have had
Evernight on the tbr for a long time and will be trying that soon.

Cassie, I love Alexia too, shes awesome, and I really love Maccon. Theres a lot of good characters. I'm hoping that professor Lyall gets a girl too. I love him:)


message 12088: by Cassi aka Snow White (new)

Cassi aka Snow White Haggard | 2261 comments As far as male characters in paranormal fiction, Maccon pretty much takes the cake. Love him so much!

If you like Professor Lyall hold on for Heartless (The Parasol Protectorate, #4) by Gail Carriger where you get more insight into his background. It may surprise you!


message 12091: by Cassi aka Snow White (new)

Becca | 1608 comments hahaha! I just finished Blameless (The Parasol Protectorate, #3) by Gail Carriger and I'm starting the next one tomorrow. I love Alexia! I really liked the third one. I found the last few scenes extremely funny, and perfectly on cue for both Alexia and Maccon. So good!

Bethany | 578 comments Well, I can't wait to read all of them :)

Has anyone read A Discovery of Witches (All Souls Trilogy, #1) by Deborah Harkness ? It's really interesting so far. I'm not quite sure what to expect, but I am very intrigued.


message 12096: by P_Racemosa (new)

P_Racemosa (tzu-jan) | 4 comments I am reading Library Wars Love & War, Vol. 1 (Library Wars Love & War, #1) by Kiiro Yumi a manga which is I think a fun one, and The Mortal Instruments Boxed Set City of Bones; City of Ashes; City of Glass (Mortal Instruments, #1-3) by Cassandra Clare series which I have a lot to say about good and bad and Tigerheart by Peter David Which I found to have a really cool writing style and a neat take on the ol' peter pan gig. Just started Elantris by Brandon Sanderson

Yay, my favourite book! Hope you're enjoying it Theo.

I've just finished The Pledge (The Pledge, #1) by Kimberly Derting (disappointing, but I couldn't resist that cover) and am now some way into The Book Of Blood And Shadow by Robin Wasserman , which is excellent so far. :)


message 12098: by Khushboo (new)

Khushboo (snuggle-bunny) | 4 comments I'm reading Jane Jameson series by Molly Harper. It's first book was funny and had a nice plot and all, but second book wasn't that good. Right now, I'm reading the third book, and I'm not far enough to judge it yet.
