I've been slow starting the series the Day One thing scares me its like thats way to many pages for one day. I have owned the first book since it came out in paperback a year or so ago. Hope to get to it soon.

Christine | 752 comments 2013 has been a great book year so far. I finished UnWholly (Unwind, #2) by Neal Shusterman and Wool Omnibus (Wool, #1-5) by Hugh Howey

Both were five star reads for me.

Up next is
Rosemary and Rue (October Daye, #1) by Seanan McGuire

Don't be daunted by the page count. It is "day one" but day one of him telling his life story so alot does happen in "day one". It is so good.

I love this series! This will be the third time reading the first 4 books. I'm doing a re-read so I can finally catch up on the series. Sorry it didn't work for you.

I know what you mean the first three books were like four star then it just started to fall off.
But I am looking forward to the next one I think with all of her new series I am hoping for an infusion of excitement :-)

message 1468: by Christine (new)

Christine | 752 comments I also started Xenocide (Ender's Saga, #3) by Orson Scott Card . I'm glad I'm doing this one in audio. It seems pretty dense and trying to comprehend all the different ideas going on in just the first 10% kind of feels like work.

I really liked that one! It may not be the most beautiful prose ever to hit shelves, but I've read several in that series (I think I'm on 5 or 6 now) and they're consistently enjoyable, and the characters are still interesting.

I'm currently reading Traitor to the Blood (Noble Dead Series 1, #4) by Barb Hendee and trying to get into The Casual Vacancy by J.K. Rowling , but there're a ton of characters and I keep having to put it down, so I'm not making much progress.

I've heard lots of good things about it and so far I'm enjoying it.


message 1475: by Travis (new)

Travis Luedke (twluedke) I just finished a really intense BDSM novel from Kayla Stonor and then went straight into The Steward which was very good.

I guess my tastes are pretty eclectic. I gave them both 5 stars. I like my sex scenes intense, and Kayla does that very well.

I like my fantasy with a twist of the paranormal and Chris Shields did a fabulous job on The Steward.

I will be on to "Locked in Torture" by Kayla, which is Torture fantasy BDSM, and then I'll jump track back to Chris for the second installment in his fantasy series, "The Changeling".

Good Stuff. Check em out.

Realising I prefer to read series straight through. I have already forgotten a lot of details from the former books.

I like Remy Chandler. I've seen very, very few people reading this series.

I'm really liking Xenocide (Ender's Saga, #3) by Orson Scott Card even though it feels like I'm sitting through a philosophy class.

Also working on Searching for Dragons (Enchanted Forest Chronicles, #2) by Patricia C. Wrede . Great series for kids.

I'm having an awesome book year so far!

I just finished
The Exiled Queen
70 pages left in A Game of Thrones half way through with The Titan's Curse 100 pages left in Switched and just started getting into Beautiful Creatures. none of which were on my list for this month.

thats the last one I read but I own all the way up to five when they were saying five was the last and then ofcourse it wasnt because it wasnt long before another came out which means she was already writing it smh. I hate when publishers and authors do that I think it put me off a little as well as the romance was getting icky.

maybe I will start reading it again you seem to be enjoying them.


message 1489: by Johnny (new)

Johnny | 6 comments Right now, I'm reading "Two Graves" by Preston & Child and "Catching Fire" by Suzanne Collins. Almost finished with the former & just starting the latter. Enjoying both so far.


message 1490: by Matthew (new)

Matthew Bryant (mattbryantdfw) I know it's not UF, but my sister gave me a copy of Ready Player One by Ernest Cline for Christmas and I just cracked it open. Blew through about half of it today. It starts REALLY slow, then you realize that all the excessive information isn't the writer, it's the character.

If you can make it through the first few chapters and the monotonous explanations of everything on the internet, it's really enjoyable so far!

I really enjoyed that book, although in a way it was much more depressing than I expected. Many of the gamer references were probably lost on me, but any book that involves a discussion of 'Ladyhawke' is a keeper in my book.


message 1492: by Christine (new)

Christine | 752 comments Still reading and loving Rosemary and Rue (October Daye, #1) by Seanan McGuire and Xenocide (Ender's Saga, #3) by Orson Scott Card , and somehow ended up getting sucked into The Knife of Never Letting Go (Chaos Walking, #1) by Patrick Ness . I'm only about 10% of the way into this one, but I am more than intrigued.

I listened to the audiobook version of this one with my husband during a long road trip. He LOVED it and I kind of hated it, which is weird considering I'm the gamer out of the two of us! I thought Wade was kind of a putz :|


message 1495: by Matthew (new)

Matthew Bryant (mattbryantdfw) Wade is an absolute putz. It's one of the few books I'm making an exception for because, while the characters are obviously flawed and completely 2-dimensional, the concept is very well thought out.

I would give them another try. I read the first five books, but never got another to reading the latest one. That is why I am doing a re-read and I'm very much enjoying them again.
