I love that series, too, and I'm also a huge fan of the Daughter of Smoke & Bone series!! If only the next one would come out soon.

and liked it enough that I'll move on book two. In the meantime, I've started

I'm currently reading J.R. Ward's: Redemption... Slow read, definitely not one of her best works and I can't wait for it to be over..

That's too bad. I really like BDB.

Oh no I love BDB I'm reading her latest Fallen Angels book... Huge disappointment compared to everything else she's written.
I'm putting
aside for now. I'm going to do a BDB re-read. I stopped at JM's book, but my friend just finished Blay & Quinn's book and she said it was awesome.
cant concentrate on one read and keep buying more. :(here's a couple:
thinking about picking up a few more nothing seems to be un-putdownable
Finished
- which was a fun read but not exactly the brilliant masterpiece I was expecting given the hype. Cat and Bones's banter is great but their romance didn't really grab me. Maybe it will in the next book.Now listening to
- pretty good so far.

Oh, I loved Cat and Bones! That's what made the book for me, lol.
My daughter's bff loaned me her copy of

In a book you see the names, so even if you can't pronounce them, you recognize them.

Yes, the TV show requires a lot of concentration! In fact, I watch it with my daughter so we can help each other remember who is what.

Right now I'm reading Hammered by Kevin Hearne. It's not as good as the first 2 books. I hope it's not a trend. I'm not sure what I should start next. I like the comfort of hoarding books on my kindle, so I don't think I'll ever run out. It could be Hard Days Night by John G. Hartness or Midnight-Blue Light Special by Seanan McGuire.

I stopped reading them after JM's book. Not sure why, but my friend read the newest one and liked it. I decided to start from the beginning. Dark Lover was just as good as it was the first couple of times I read it :)
I am reading American Gods by Neil Gaiman. It has a completely different feeling than Neverwhere. I like it but can't quite tell you how much yet.
Just finished God Save the Queen and Etiquette & Espionage - was underwhelmed by both. I'm not sure what I'll pick up next.
