What Are You Reading? Part 1

You ladies are the worst!(Don't take it the wrong way, I'm saying it with happy voice and smiley face.) Last night I was so excited,I read most of the night, I'm half way trough and got only 2 hours of sleep. I'm not even pretending to be awake.I met Warner. Cocky bastard! I wanted to punch him few times but not really hate him. His persuasion methods might not be holy and noble but he speaks truth. And I can't love Adam because we don't get to see him much and he most of the times doesn't talks. Still no team, but I enjoy reading this book very much.

Awe, sharing is for caring hehe
Mod

Mod
Just you wait and see hun, you will learn about both of them soon enough
Ekaterine wrote: "Mel wrote: "Ekaterine wrote: "Mel wrote: "Bridget wrote: "Ekaterine wrote: "Okay, guys I started and I know next to nothing about this series. The only thing I know ..."Exactly. I always hate how the good boys have this sort of self-righteous attitude that goes along with them like they are on the side of absolute right and anything other than that is wrong. With the antiheroes there's always they grey area where you just don't what side they are on and it's almost always surprising.
The Selection is good and the Prince is totally adorbs. I hope you like it:D
Annie wrote: "Poor Adam has been left in the dust. Yeah Warner is sexy but he's too broken for Juliette. Though I'm worried about how things will end in the next book. I've got my theories but who knows. Mafi is..."I completely disagree. I feel like it is a little bit conventional that Warner can't go beyond who he is because he's too broken. I think the main difference is that Warner and Juliette identify with each other better and in turn make each other stronger emotionally and Adam just wants to shelter and coddle her because of her history but I don't believe that is quite necessary anymore because she isn't that same girl she was before, she has found self-confidence and acceptance from people like Kenji and the others at Omega Point.
Mod
Oh, just you wait, he does lots of talking and they have plenty of...moments that are quite memorable!! The shower scene is still one we all talk about...*sigh*
Mod
turned out to be better than I originally expected, thankfully. Still nothing outstanding, but a decent read. On to
for blog review and
so I can be ready for
next month! So nervous after reading the blurb for Salvation, Refugee is going to be painful!! Of course, if I get my freaking copy of
today then those will have to wait a day! =)

Mel wrote: "Ekaterine wrote: "Mel wrote: "Ekaterine wrote: "Mel wrote: "Bridget wrote: "Ekaterine wrote: "Okay, guys I started and I know next to nothing about this series. The ..."Yes, exactly! That is one of the reasons I try to stay away from triangles (yeah I know, I'm failing miserably.) When there is only one main character they tend to stay on that gray area and surprise us with there actions. With triangles authors don't give us space to make our own decisions if action is good or bad. Take Adam and Warner, Adam is assumed (and I don't mean he isn't) good because he wants to protect Juliette. Yep, in general that is right thing to do. but in my opinion that's wrong. like you said she needs to be broken out of herself. Warner is doing that, his cruelty isn't shattering her. It's giving her strength, will to fight back. I don't know if that's his intention or it's just happening that way but I think he is on right track.
Yeah, got it all out. :D

liked it quite a bit. Looking forward to book 3.Starting
Ekaterine wrote: "You ladies are the worst!(Don't take it the wrong way, I'm saying it with happy voice and smiley face.) Last night I was so excited,I read most of the night, I'm half way trough and got only 2 hour..."Haha I was like that too. Both books kept me up at night. They're just too good to stop reading. Mafi is good at sucking you into the story. I remember reluctantly putting the book down at 5 am during Shatter Me. I didn't wanna sleep. I finished it quickly after that. Enjoy! :)
Annie wrote: "Ekaterine, I'm an Adam fan through and through. I only started liking Warner in the second book. But I'm still Adam all the way!!! He deserves Juliette!!! Just my opinion."THANK YOU Annie!!! These are my exact thoughts, but soo many are team-Warner that I thought I was missing something. I haven't read Destroy Me, so I thought maybe that was the reason.
Just finished
for review and loved it. Think im about to start
. Has anyone read it, is it good?

Just finished
and liked it a lot, which is surprising as it included cheating which normally puts me off a book instantly. But the way this was written, I couldn't help but like the characters and hope they would get their relationship going. Now starting to read
for the blog tour. Yay.

Tracy wrote: "Ummm Amanda...Once Burned isn't really a light read. Maybe someone gave you some bad information."oh it's not, damn. I was hoping it was a light one. Oh well
Oh wow! I just finished
and oh my gosh, it was amazing!!! I have to admit that I am still team Adam (I just think they belong together. He loves her so much), but DAMN!! Warner is flipping HOT in this one. Completely threw me for a loop. And that outrageous twist in the middle?? How did it stay quiet on this thread? I felt blindsided! Lol. Love, love, love this book;)
Bridget wrote: "Oh wow! I just finished and oh my gosh, it was amazing!!! I have to admit that I am still team Adam (I just think they belong together. He loves her so much), but DA..."Oh I'm definitely still Team Adam :) Haha yeah, I think everyone has done really well keeping the twist a secret

Amanda (mandy) wrote: "Bridget wrote: "Oh wow! I just finished and oh my gosh, it was amazing!!! I have to admit that I am still team Adam (I just think they belong together. He loves her ..."This trilogy is turning out to be a really hot topic for us LOL! So impressed with all of us, we're so good at not spoiling the story. I love them both. So hard to decide which team to be but I do admit that I'm more Warner than Adam as of Destroy Me :D can't wait to see what's in store for all of us in the next book EEEKKKPPP!
OMG finished
and it is SO FREAKING FANTASTIC!!!!
Also almost finished with

Belkis wrote: "Amanda (mandy) wrote: "Bridget wrote: "Oh wow! I just finished and oh my gosh, it was amazing!!! I have to admit that I am still team Adam (I just think they belong ..."I know!! I just want Warner to WANT to change. I really like him now and it kills me that he doesnt want to be good:(
Tracy wrote: "Amanda (mandy) wrote: "Tracy wrote: "Ummm Amanda...Once Burned isn't really a light read. Maybe someone gave you some bad information."oh it's not, damn. I was hoping it was a light one. Oh well"..."
Hehe:) we are definitely Spade fans!!
Belkis wrote: "Also almost finished with and my heart and mind are just spinning!!"Oh this was so good. After reading the two back-to-back, I couldn't read anything else for like a week. My mind was spinning and replaying everything.

YES!! I LOVED IT! All of it. So fresh and wonderful. So very excited about this being a whole new series to look forward to :) those crows were hilarious! And Simon is a hoot LMAO! OMG and they keep referring to the human people as "The Meg" "The Ruthie" LOL!
I literally had to stop at one point when the "Stag Sticks" were brought up because I was laughing so hard I almost cried. And the way they kept mentioning how eating the staff was bad for morale. I don't know how Bishop does it, but I always end loving her books. I'm so glad it's a new series, I just wish she could get them out faster lol

And omg that crow Harry with the pens and pencils bartering with "The Meg" for sugar lumps LOL! OMG OMG and "the special meat" conversations LMAO!
Mod
and my heart and mind are just spinning!!"Wish I had time to re-read it now, you're making me long for more Caleb before Epilogue comes out! LOL

Agreed. That's the problem with good guys, they are good. You always know they will do right thing and almost always know what that right thing is. So not exciting. But with villains you never know! They will turn your world upside-down and keep you on your toes. and unexpected is exciting.
I haven't read Selection yet, maybe next month I will get personal with the prince!
