The wait is totally worth it.

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.

Never finished the first one I found it to be slow and I had no reason to care for the main character. Made me sleepy Im going to Prague in 2 months and I think thats the setting for this book if im not mistaken so maybe Ill read it on the plane.


Ah, this is one of my favorite series. I just finished

I agree!

I really liked that book, and I'm really hit or miss with Maggie Stiefvater. I thought the plot was really interesting, and didn't get *too* YA-y, if you know what I mean.

That's too bad. I really like BDB.

I've been thinking about reading the Game of Thrones series, but now that I'm watching the show, I wasn't sure if I should bother or not.

That is the way that I read the whole series. I don't know that I could have read the books, but listening was great. I did have some slight trouble at the start getting all the characters straight.
In a book you see the names, so even if you can't pronounce them, you recognize them.



I do think the Game of Thrones books are worth reading. The tv show does follow them closely, but there is a lot that is left out. Even with 13 hours it can't begin to cover over a 1000 page book that closely.



Thank goodness I did read the first 250 pages of A Game of Thrones or I would be totally lost with all the characters in the audio. I love audio books, but I have a hard time remember character's names when I listen vs read. And there are so many in this one and with some unusual names.

That is the only bad thing about reading via audio when a book has a large cast of characters.

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.

Dead Man's Folly: A Hercule Poirot Mystery

Lover At Last



Loved Charle Davidson....its a fun read.


Tricked and Trapped are MUCH MUCH better than Hammered in my opinion. Don't give up!

Whew! That's a relief!



Love that series!"
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 :)

It has a completely different feeling than Neverwhere. I like it but can't quite tell you how much yet.
