What are you waiting for??


message 4603: by Gwennie (new)

Gwennie (blessedwannab) I'm getting throught the BDB books, haha! I do have all three of the Knife books on my shelf to read next. I also have Graceling and the Bartimaeus Tril I want to read.

Once I read Lover Avenged and Lover Mine, then I'll start.

I looked it up on B&N and it is only available as an ebook? Is that what you have or you found a real copy? I refuse to give up paper books so I hope it isn't going to become a trend to publish only on ereaders!


message 4608: by Gwennie (new)

Gwennie (blessedwannab) Ooooh, man. That is what scares me about ereaders... I am going to get a kindle but this is the first book I've heard of that is only on an e-reader and that scares me enough to make me rethink...


Cassi aka Snow White Haggard | 2261 comments I found Gregor the Overland BUT...THIS IS EVEN WORSE. For my job I drive a lot. So yesterday I was driving along (about 2 hrs from home) )and I finished CD 7 of Bloody Jack #3. So I reach in the case to pull out the next CD and it's CD 9!!!! CD 8 is missing. I'm going to kill the library over this (after I thoroughly search my messy car).

It was getting very very good then BAM I had to listen to the radio for 2 hours. Talk about being cursed with books this week!!!!

OMG! I just posted earlier this week that I was listening to Bloody Jack book four and it is missing the last disk! What is it about that series. I am including a note when I return it, but the library better not think I stole it. Why oh why would anyone take 1 CD out of 13?


Cassi aka Snow White Haggard | 2261 comments I don't know!!! BLOODY JACK BANDIT STRIKES AGAIN! I'm just ordering this book to solve the whole library is screwing up issue.

I'm not returning it with a note. I'm going up to the desk and saying "This was missing a disk." If they blame me I'm pitching a fit. No shame. I'm not buying them a book and me a book because of their screw up. They ruined my drive yesterday! Bah Humbug on them for disappointing me.

Sorry Cassi. I feel your pain. I am going to the library tomorrow to get the actual book so I can see how it ends.


Cassi aka Snow White Haggard | 2261 comments I've only listened to the Bloody Jack series and I love it so much on audio that I worry I'll love in less in book form. Weird, but what can you do? Just going to bite the bullet and buy it.

Your library doesn't have the print version, or do you mean you are buying the audio???


Cassi aka Snow White Haggard | 2261 comments It has the print version but I like the audio SO MUCH that I want to listen to it. So I'm going to buy it.

Heidi Cassi wrote: "It has the print version but I like the audio SO MUCH that I want to listen to it. So I'm going to buy it."

Ahh I see. Understandable. I bought that book (3)from audible because my library did not have it. Then, I drove 45 minutes away to another library to get book 4 (the one that does not have CD 13!), luckily I can drop it off at my local library. None of the libraries in my system have books 5-8 on audio, so I may try the next one in print and if I need to I may buy the audio for that one too. Sorry again Cassi!


message 4617: by Heidi (new)

Heidi Just started Dairy Queen (Dairy Queen, #1) by Catherine Gilbert Murdock on audio.

Maximum Ride: The Angle Experiment by James Patterson
Tales by Edgar Allan Poe


message 4625: by Heather (new)

Heather McCorkle (heathermccorkle) I finally started reading The Hunger Games and am surprised to find that I really like it. Once I saw that it was written in present tense I didn't expect to but it has surprised me in a good way.

Amanda  (peanutty222) | 529 comments I was going to start The Enemy by Charlie Higson but I'm not in the mood for slaughter right now, so I'm thinking I will start either The Book of Luke by Jenny O'Connell or Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging Confessions of Georgia Nicolson (Confessions of Georgia Nicolson, #1) by Louise Rennison next.


message 4628: by Kurukka (new)

Kurukka I began reading Noughts & Crosses (Noughts & Crosses, #1) by Malorie Blackman today.


message 4629: by Vanesa (new)

Vanesa I'm reading "Entice" by Carrie Jones...super excited about it! for those who haven't read TKONLG is an amazing series I think is great for fans of Hunger Games, Maze Runner and dystopian in general.

Happy read everyone!


message 4630: by Heidi (new)

Heidi Amanda are you listening to Angus or reading it? You must listen to the audio of that series at some point :)

It is excellent on audio. I know Brittany from this group read the first book and just thought it was "ok" and then listened to the audio for book two and liked it a lot more. If you understand British humor it should be fine in print :)


message 4633: by Sara (new)

Sara (rose081900) | 177 comments I finished Invasion (A C.H.A.O.S. Novel) by J.S. Lewis . I have no idea what I'm going to read next.....

What is the TKONLG series?


message 4634: by Heidi (last edited Dec 12, 2010 03:22PM) (new)

Heidi Sara it is The Knife of Never Letting Go (chaos walking series) The Knife of Never Letting Go (Chaos Walking, #1) by Patrick Ness .

Yep, that would be me. Also, when I read the pront version I skipped the dictionary in the back because I am quite familar with British lingo, but listening to the character of Georgia read her dictionary when great. Basically, you MUST pick up the audio.


message 4636: by Sara (new)

Sara (rose081900) | 177 comments I'm reading Stray (Shifters, #1) by Rachel Vincent . I haven't read this series yet so decided I wanted something about were's again, so this is it. I'm enjoying it so far.


message 4637: by Smiliepeople (new)

Smiliepeople | 7 comments I'm ignoring the ridiculous amount of to read books on my shelf and re-reading one of my favourite series, The Mortal Instruments :)


message 4638: by Jill (new)

Jill | 68 comments It's a snowy morning in the midwest and just started The Knife of Never Letting Go. I am looking forward to it since so many people rave about the series.


message 4639: by Gwennie (new)

Gwennie (blessedwannab) I have Lover Mine to read but I'm tempted to read Stolen first. I can finish it in a day and give it back to my friend.

Stolen A letter to my captor by Lucy Christopher


message 4640: by Vanesa (new)

Vanesa You are going to LOVED it! The only think is I made the mistake to read "Nightshade" after the first four in the "Shift" series and of course "Nightshade" looked very very bad for...I coiuldn't even finished! Have a happy read! I haven't read the last two but I'm sure you are going to enjoy it! Sara wrote: "I'm reading Stray (Shifters, #1) by Rachel Vincent.

Vanesa Amazing! All three books in the series are fantastic! Happy read and looking forward to read about your progress with the book :)

Brittany (finally graduated and can once again read for fun) | 1328 comments So, I'm reading The Summoning right now, and I'm only about 70 pages in, but I'm not really liking it. Does it get better or should I just move on to something else??

I guess it depends....The book takes a big turn in the middle, I liked the second and third book better.

I only thought it was "ok". To be honest, in general that is my least favorite genre (examples: Beautiful Creatures - boring, Mortal Instruments - quit after 100 pages, Twilight - well....you know).

I wasn't a fan of beautiful creatures either. The Mortal Insturments is one of my favorites though. It's hard to compare anything to Twilight because of the hype.....I did like twilight but I think Robert Pattinson had something to do wiht that.

Brittney, there are so many other great books, if your not enjoying it pass.

Heidi Started Dash & Lily's Book of Dares by Rachel Cohn last night.


message 4647: by Lloyd (new)

Lloyd | 415 comments Officially started The Ask and the Answer (Chaos Walking, #2) by Patrick Ness on the ride to work today. Attempted several times at home this weekend, but my 4 year old son has other plans for his dad than letting me read. :P


Brittany (finally graduated and can once again read for fun) | 1328 comments Hmmm... maybe I'll finished this one, then I'll decide if it's worth my time to continue on in the series. We'll see I guess. It doesn't help that I have a Melina Marchetta book from the library sitting on the bar just calling my name. It's shouting "Read Me, Read Me... you know you want to! Have I let you down yet?"

Silly book doesn't know it's not the only thing out there, then again, it has a point. Melina Marchetta is AWESOME! Motivation to finish quickly I guess.

P.S. I reserved my copy of Shadowfever from the library today. I'm #2 on the list and we're still a month out. Thank you internet!!
