 ♥ Rebecca ♥ | 1653 comments I finally finished A Dance With Dragons (A Song of Ice and Fire, #5) by George R.R. Martin ! It took me two weeks! Its so long! Anyways. I returned it to the library and picked up The Fury and Dark Reunion (The Vampire Diaries, #3-4) by L.J. Smith , Afterlife (Evernight, #4) by Claudia Gray , and Shiver (The Wolves of Mercy Falls, #1) by Maggie Stiefvater . I will probably read them in that order.

Jamielyn | 18 comments I'm currently reading Forever and I'm already halfway to the ending.

I'm quite disappointed because i'm expecting too much from the series but as i finish each book i'm not that satisfied.

I do still hope that even though i'm near finishing it there will still be a lot of good things that'll happen.

I still got to buy Crossed and I have Firelight on my shelf but I'm only at the beginning of Blood Promise (Vampire Academy, #4) by Richelle Mead and need to read the rest before I get started on any other book!!!


message 787: by Krista (new)

Krista (findyourshimmy) For YA...

I am currently listening to A Great and Terrible Beauty. I'd attempted to sit down and read the book twice but hadn't been able to get beyond the first 50 pages or so. I borrowed the audio version from the library and am just starting disc 8 (or possibly 9) of 10 (or 11). Plus, I picked up the next audio (Rebel Angels) to start during our holiday travels this weekend.

Very soon I will be starting The Annotated Peter Pan (The Centennial Edition). I need to finish it by December 11 for another book club, so we'll see how that cruises along. I guess it's probably more "children's" classification than "YA," but thought it still appropriate to mention here. :o)


message 788: by Sylvia (new)

Sylvia | 13086 comments Mod
@Krista I noticed too that I couldn't get into A Great and Terrible Beauty too


message 789: by Krista (new)

Krista (findyourshimmy) Heinzypop - To be honest, if I wasn't doing it in audio this time and "captive in my vehicle," I likely wouldn't have made it this far. There are pieces of the story I'm really enjoying (now that I've gotten far enough into it for the key characters to form and for interesting events to occur), but I don't find I'm extending my travels or staying in my car even after I arrive at my destination to squeeze out a few more minutes of the story. I think it's just too slow of a plot for my taste.

I picked up the audio of the second book in the series hoping the first will end at a place leaving me wanting to know more about the characters and where they're headed. Plus, I need something to listen to during our eight hour (total) road trip this weekend. :o)

I've heard such positive reviews about the series and people who really love it, so I feel like I "should" give it the benefit of the doubt. We'll see what happens.


message 790: by Sylvia (new)

Sylvia | 13086 comments Mod
I know I'm like that with so many other books e.g The Host by Stephenie Meyer took ages to start but I kept at it and finally it took off but Terrible Beauty like you I re-read the first few chapters so many times and I just couldn't do it anymore...sometimes you've just got to let go and go onto better stories...but maybe listening to the story might make it easier...

I have been wanting to read Firelight for a while so cant wait. Im taking a break before I read the last VA, 6 books of the same series is a lot in a row. Sometimes I need a break.
Cant wait for you to read about Dimitri!!


message 792: by Sylvia (new)

Sylvia | 13086 comments Mod
Yeah it's sometimes good to take a break it gets a little overwhelming lol yeah I really haven't had time these last couple of days but I'm hoping tonight I should make a good dent in the book


message 793: by Jenni (new)

Jenni (pinkxpaws) I'm currently reading Rebel Angels [Gemma Doyle #2] by Libba Bray


message 794: by Krista (new)

Krista (findyourshimmy) Good morning, Jenni!

Did you read A Great and Terrible Beauty? What did you think of it?

How is Rebel Angels in terms of pacing when compared to A Great and Terrible Beauty?

I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts!


message 795: by ♥ Rebecca ♥ (new)

 ♥ Rebecca ♥ | 1653 comments Poison Study (Study, #1) by Maria V. Snyder finally arrived at the library! I cant wait. I have been wanting to read it for so long but it took months for my order to come. I will finish Afterlife (Evernight, #4) by Claudia Gray first though.


message 796: by Krista (new)

Krista (findyourshimmy) Rebecca - I look forward to hearing what you think of Poison Study. It's on by TBR list and I'm hoping to get to it in 2012. :o)


message 797: by Aurora (new)

Aurora | 38 comments almost finished with We'll Always Have Summer (Summer, #3) by Jenny Han
about to start reading A Beautiful Dark (A Beautiful Dark, #1) by Jocelyn Davies


message 798: by Aurélie (new)

Aurélie I'm reading Deadly Little Lies (Touch, #2) by Laurie Faria Stolarz .


message 799: by Jenni (new)

Jenni (pinkxpaws) Krista "Nayana" - I have to admit it took me a little while to get into A Great and Terrible Beauty. Towards the last half I started to really like it though. I'm not very far into Rebel Angels yet though but I can't wait to find out what happens now. So hopefully I get some time to read later!


message 800: by Krista (new)

Krista (findyourshimmy) Thanks for sharing, Jenni! I look forward to hearing more once you've had a chance to dig into it a bit.
