OOOh I LOVED Defiance! It's always nice to read a good girl power book, its horrible to think even in a fictional world how quick ALL our rights can be taken away. I also enjoy how smart and un-broding Logan is. Dont give up!

Yay for October being such an awesome month!
Finished and loved The Crown of Embers (Fire and Thorns, #2) by Rae Carson .


message 13600: by Marie (new)

Marie | 16 comments I need Iced by Karen Marie Moning like....NOW!loll.
Anyway, I just finished Alice in Zombieland (White Rabbit Chronicles, #1) by Gena Showalter and I really liked it. I also read Obsidian (Lux, #1) by Jennifer L. Armentrout and I was a little disapointed. It was good but I didn't feel like the plot or the love story was anything special but I did enjoyed the interactions between the 2 main character anyway.

I'm now reading Tiger's Curse (The Tiger Saga, #1) by Colleen Houck . I really liked the plot but something about the way the main character speaks annoys me. It doesn't feel natural. It's feels robotics.
