Aw man, I have a copy of Pretty Girl 13, sent to me by the publisher. I won't get to it before it releases tho.
If you go into Requiem not having expectations it will be better.

really like this series so far.
Mod
Bridge..."
That's Mead for you she really does start off slow when it comes to romance and plot but like you I was afflicting and had to know what was going to happen next ... Sydney's character makes it seem extra slow because she's so rigid and strict!! VA series started off slow too lol
Mod
and I loved it even though it wasn't technically perfect. Just loved Leo and Evie to pieces and it was hot-hot-hot sexy!! Need to catch up on blog reviews, but I can't resist anymore...finally reading

. . ."Oh definitely get it, this book is amazing!!
Mod
really liked it more than the first book!Got a few chapters left in
Really enjoying it.Looking forward to the next..."Glad to hear about Entice, I want to get to it soon!
Oh yay Erin! I'm glad you loved Leo. I loved it so much!!!! I read it in 12 hours. It was fantastic and hot hot hot!

Uh oh, hope you like it better.
No expectations, got it!
The Jake West Trilogy by MJ WebbThis will definitely appeal to young teens who like fantasy as well as us adults who like an easy read with a new twist. The beginning is a little slow, as one character is reluctant to admit his past,but after that...you just get swept into another world. There are some great characters and I am willing them to survive against great odds.
Mod
and
and wanted to read the third one but the library didn't have it! I can't believe how HOT these books are! Ethan-Morgan OMG OMG!Have you girls read these books?
Laura wrote: "SO JEALOUS! Ive been waiting for The Collector forever it feels like! since some time last year when it was first announced! That cover is Gah! And its not out till April right?"Yup it's out the beginning of April. It was really good!! Dante was funny but sweet and Charlie was this super nerdy girl with frizzy hair and a lime green back pack. Dante is all Versace and suave but falls for her. It was a random coupling but really worked in an adorable way.

And I'm actually really enjoying Bloodlines I have a feeling that in the next one Sydney is going to end up being a surprise because she's so rigid. And I know it's slow but I'm almost glad it is because with that much conditioning I'd have a hard time believing it if in a single book she was a rebel.

"Oh, after Walking Disaster I'm starting The Ward.
Just finished
and absolutely LOVED it. Another win for Kresley Cole. She never disappoints me. Thank goodness book 2 is slated for October 2013 as I'm dying to know what happens next. Totally reminded me of the feeling I had when I read Angelfall by Susan Ee. The stories are completely different but the overall darkness and feeling of EPIC surrounding them both. Oh how I loved this book.
Tracy wrote: "Finished andand wanted to read the third one but the library didn't have it! I can't believe how HOT these books are! Ethan-..."LOL! I have them in my huge TBR pile all of them sitting and waiting their turn as I do plan on reading them eventually. Have 3 friends that have read them and insist that they are awesome so I will be reading them for sure. Glad to hear that you like them too. Will have to push them up my list then :)

Ughh I was looking forward to the night World Series new book but now I think I will give up on the last one after reading that :( lol
Just finished

I have them all in my huge TBR list.But they are an older series and Im slowly working my way through the older ones before I get to the newer ones.Thats my new goal this year,to read the ol..."That's my aim too Laura. Hopefully we'll be able to do it. So many great ones waiting to be read and so many coming out every day makes it so hard to keep up and to get through our huge pile. My aim for this year is to at least start all of the older series that I want to read. In Death, Vampire Academy, Lords of the Underworld, The League, Mercy Thompson, Kate Daniels, The Parasol Protectorate, Downside Ghosts. I've already started 3, starting 2 others this month, and the last 3 next month. Hopefully I'll be able to get through them by end of this year LOL!

Oh me too! I'm so in love with it and didn't think I'd love it as much as I did. But yes, I'm absolutely smitten with it.

Finally got to read

today! And maybe it's because I didn't go into it with high expectations because of what I've been hearing, but I ended up loving it! I think Lauren Oliver's writing alone is what makes me love her books. I thought it was a great ending.

Okay I think I'll be diving into

Damn she said it was gonna be a hardcover edition, by the end of this year! I hate waiting on books, I had to wait to long for the end of the inheritance series, that I haven't even bought it when it came out. Still miss 2 books in my L.J. collection, The forbidden game and Dark visions. The date on amazon has not yet been confirmed by L.J as far as I know, she's still editing Strange fate.

Hope you like it better. It was one of my most anticipated books of 2013 so I'm really disappointed. I have read 3 books from my most anticipated 2013 list so far - 1 has been good while the other 2 have disappointed me. :(
