Can you read Fragile Eternity befre Ink Exchange? Just I heard Ink Exchange was a companion more than a squeal.

However, I'm so used to reading series after there are a number of them out so it is a bit disappointing to have to wait for the next one. ;)

City of Bones was GREAT!!! Actually the whole series is awesome. Oh and umm something happens in this book but don't fret. It will tick you off but you must read the rest of them. Trust me. ;)
I am reading Insaitable by Meg Cabot now. I love Meg Cabot and have been waiting for this book!!! YAY!!

Heidi, I got 3 new books today but not 13 to life. Maybe next payday. I had 4 books I need to get for bookclub reads so those had to come first. One left and hopefully I canget it at the same time.

I read Fragile Eternity before Ink Exchange and didn't feel like I missed anything. FE does pick up where IE ends, so there is one character that drastically changes from Wicked Lovely to Fragile Eternity due to a change in position that is explained in Ink Exchange, but what happened in Ink Exchange didn't seem like an integral part of Fragile Eternity to me.
Finished
last night. It was awesome. That is not the last book in the series right?? There are lots of questions that I want answered!!Going to start
today. I'm a little reluctant as I've heard mixed reviews, but I guess I'll find out!
The Reckoning is the last book with those characters but another book is coming out in the series. It will be with different characters but in the same world.
I really liked Beautiful Creatures and am curious to see if you like it. :)

Hmmm..interesting. The thing that happened at the end with the opening of the thing and the gaurd and the chick she helped left me wanting to know more! That part was uber creepy. If you have any idea what I'm talking about. LoLI really hope I like Beautiful Creatures.(I think I will) Oh, and I'm getting anxious to hear what you think about the end of City of Bones!! So you have to let me know when you finish!! Please. :)
I really like Clary and Jace. So far it's 3 to 3 1/2 stars for me. I haven't been able to read as much as I normally do so it is taking me a long time to get through it. Will let you know what I think as soon as I'm done!
Tanya wrote: "I am reading Insaitable by Meg Cabot now. I love Meg Cabot and have been waiting for this book!!! YAY!!"I enjoyed Isaitable because it was cute and funny but it kind of dragged on - not so sure Cabot is long for the paranormal romance. I do love to read her books though.

There seem to be alot of books that for me unfortunately do not live upto the hype, this book is one of them, it was enjoyable but it was just an ok for me. I have read lots of books like that this year, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Fallen, Hush Hush, were all books that didnt blow me away.But saying that everyones tastes are different, and there were those books that I had no expectation of that ended up being great reads.
So I'm about 2/3 done with
and it's pretty good. Started it last night and I would love to finish it right now but I have to go to work. I'd never heard anything about it before and it's really weird but good. Kinda gives me the creeps a bit...
Emma I have skipped Fallen and Hush Hush because they got a lot of mixed reviews, and those type of books are normally ones I hate. I urge you to give the second book in the Girl with Dragon Tattoo series a try because it is way more action packed. I also think the audiobooks for the GWTDT make the book a better experience as the narrator is awesome. I have never even seen him in person, but I think I have a little crush on him :)
I think I'm one of the only people on this planet who has never read Pride and Prejudice. And I'm an English major. -_- That is all about to change! Starting it tomorrow. :]ps. Stolen was very good. It was weird and sad but definitely good.
I haven't read it either, Traci! Let us know what you think!

Heidi wrote: "Emma I have skipped Fallen and Hush Hush because they got a lot of mixed reviews, and those type of books are normally ones I hate. I urge you to give the second book in the Girl with Dragon Tatto..."Heidi, I have all the books and people tell me that the second book is alot better than the first. I found the 1st one full of unecessary dialogue and history which at the time I thought would be relevant at the end of the book, but it never was and it was a book that just irritated the hell out of me, but I persevered as I am the type of person that doesnt like to leave a book unfinished. It did get better, but in no way was the hype justified. I did like Lisbeth Salander, she was the only saving grace in this book.
I am currently reading Dragonfly in Amber book 2 of the Outlander Series
and Midnight Risisng By Lara Adrian

I second your nomination for the Larsson books (although I am going to give Hush Hush a second try as well). I'm on the third in the series: The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest and you're right, they're action packed and totally engaging novels. I love Lisbeth Sanders' character!
Yeah Mardie! Thanks for the seconds :) Emma - Stieg does tend to go on and on about things that don't matter, so I know what you are saying. But, if you love Lisbeth, it is ALL Lisbeth ALL the time in Book 2.

I am sorry that you re-read it at all! That book is such a disappointment.
I just finished
It was ok, I liked the twists at the end. I think it is just more of a romance then I am used to anymore.I am about to start
and maybe
Lori I just finished the audiobook of Sweetness and I was disappointed. Hope you like it more than I did.
Just finished Lies by Grant yesterday, and I must admit, I'm totally hooked into this series. Will read it to the last drop (even if it takes 6 books). I HATE to admit that, but heck . . . it's true.

That's one of the nominations for the August read of the other YA book club! Let us know how you like it.

I am in the minority I LOVE that book, but have moved on and recommend
Hate List
<That's one of the nominations for the August read of the other YA book club! Let us know how you like it."
Will do!
Beautiful Creatures..sorry I just re read that and it was confusing. :-)"I am sorry that you re-read it at all!..."
So far it is very slow for me. I am only about 60 pages in but It is dragging. :/
Heidi, I am only half way through the first chapter so too early for me to tell yet. I did start Beastly too though. I will probably finish it first.
Reading Rumors by Anna Godbersen . Started off a bit boring...and I just realized I'm in LOVE with Henry Shoonmaker. Head over heels in LOVE.
Hahaha!I just finished Succubus Blues
and gave up on
. So I'm starting
. I feel like I'm hitting a reading slump. (is that how you say it? That looks weird. Maybe slumb? No, that doesn't sound right either. Argh! Oh well.)
I finished Feed
by M.T. Anderson yesterday and I did not like it at all. It was just upsetting. I was so mad at the main character that I couldn't even speak to my husband at bed time. Now I am reading Just One Wish
by Janette Rallison. Really hoping I will like this one better.
Peep, I've definitely hit a reading slump lately. Maybe it's a reading funk. Yep, that sounds about right. Someone get me out of this funk!
Ladies-I attribute my reading funk/slump to the fact that the weather is offering me so much more opportunity to get out that books just aren't doing it for me right now. So, when all else fails, blame the weather.I'm currently reading Graceling. I'm loving it so far, but it's taking me awhile to get through it because I just don't have enough time to read.

It's a really cute, lite romance read. There are sea references all over the place. Maybe this was the boost I need? We'll see when I'm done with this one :P

Peep wrote: "Hahaha!I just finished Succubus Blues

I didn't like it Kourtni. It was entertaining and all, but altogether I just didn't understand why some things happened and the decisions that Georgina made. The reviews say that it all comes together eventually but I don't want to read any of the other books so I'll never know :PIt's got good ratings on GR, so if you like similar books I think you'll like it. I think there's one more book coming out, so they'll be 6 or 7 in the series. Too much!
Finished
yesterday and I really liked it. I was really disappointed by one of the turns in the book but I'm hoping it's not true. :)
Gotta finish up
before moving on to another book since I promised all the BDB lovers on here that I would.
Peep - I didn't like Angel Star either but I read the whole thing. One of the few books that I didn't like.
