I actually started Lover Eternal (Black Dagger Brotherhood, #2) by J.R. Ward last night and I'm only 72 pages in and I already like it better than the first book, so that's a good sign as I was ready to give up on the whole series after not being impressed by Dark Lover (Black Dagger Brotherhood, #1) by J.R. Ward

Carrie  (icanhasbooks) | 313 comments Mel, the second book is MUCH better then the first.


message 2754: by Sharon (new)

Sharon | 28 comments Yep they keep getting better and better. Some people think there is a misstep or two in the series but I've never read one that I considered giving up on. And yes next March can't get here fast enough. CANNOT wait for Qhuinn and Blay's book.

I wasn't completely impressed with the first book either, but I'm so glad I kept reading. There are a couple later in the series I wasn't so into (#6 and #9 specifically), but Lover Reborn (Black Dagger Brotherhood, #10) by J.R. Ward , the newest one, was awesome again!


message 2756: by Mel (last edited Sep 24, 2012 07:53AM) (new)

Mel | 299 comments @Carrie That's what I hear:D

@Sharon the only reason I considered giving up on it was because I really hated Wrath and Beth, I liked the writing style because it was easy to follow but I didn't know if I wanted to continue if all the characters were that annoying, but Rhage and Mary aren't bad so far.

@Sheri so #6 and #9 aren't too good, okay. I already have 7 & 8 so that's good to know.

Shatter Me is really good, I just finished it last week and I was a bit hesitant to read it but once I did I got really wrapped up into it.

message 2779: by Haleemah (new)

Haleemah (bookworm_101) I started reading Possession (Possession, #1) by Elana Johnson today. So far, I'm liking it! :D


message 2780: by Aoibhínn (new)

Aoibhínn (aoibhinn) I finished reading The Best of Me by Nicholas Sparks by Nicholas Sparks a few hours ago. The book was a bit of a disappointment really. I've read most of Spark's books and I think I'm too used to his writing style. I found the plot of the story to be extremely predictable and slightly unrealistic. But if you've never read a Nicholas Spark novel before, you'd probably like it.


Now I'm about to start reading Ford County by John Grisham by John Grisham. It's the october monthly read in a Goodreads group I'm in and I want to get a head start on it.

Thomas Duder (thomasduder) Reckon I'll jump in right here...:D

Just read Flight of the Nighthawks ( Flight of the Nighthawks (The Darkwar Saga, #1) by Raymond E. Feist ) by Raymond E. Feist. My god, I've been readin' this guy since I was, like, freakin' twelve...just gotta love his multiverse! Well, I do at least. :D

This is my first foray into any of his books after the whole Demon King saga (Rage of a Demon King and all that rot, and I still have yet to read the fourth book in that series), and it's good to see the Conclave of Shadows being more than just a "let's fluff Pug's ego" kinda group.

Admittedly though, I highly expect Feist to go to pure Moorcockian levels of absurd Higher Magics before the end of that entire series run.

I'm currently reading Archon ( Archon (The Books of Raziel, #1) by Sabrina Benulis ) by Sabrina Benulis, mainly 'cuz I started reading it, forgot I was reading it, and want to finish the damn thing. It's meh...lots of "the real way angels/demons are" and other nonsuch.

EDIT: I just learned how to add bookcover images. :D
