I just finished this and I can't believe I waited so long to read it. It was really good, thank you.
I just finished
. A great read...in fact, the trilogy is awesome! Thanks, Missy, for the pick!!

It does look really good - I've added it to my own wishlist! This thread is dangerous!
(Your choice is next on my list!)
Just finished reading
chosen for me by Antoinette. Really sweet book - thanks for picking it for me, I would have taken ages getting to it otherwise. If anyone is interested, my review is here: http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

I just finished
that Yasmani picked for me. Despite my curiosity about the show and the series (the reason was on my TBR), unfortunately, this was not for me. Possibly the wrong age group to enjoy; but, I did not care for the choppy, blog-style type of writing, story or characters. Not only the wrong age group, but, I also think it is just too much like dozens and dozens of similar sounding books I already read.

I enjoyed the 2nd one best of all.

Just for curiosity sake, I am glad I read and got it out of the way (can also get rid off library waiting list for series).
I still might catch the show reruns because of all the good things I heard.
Well that's good that takes 12 other books off your list :) and now you have time for more books. The show doesn't really go by the series. Only like season 1 goes a little by the 1st book. Also the character's are way more likable in the series and you see how they mature and develop every season.

yesterday. It was a little too mushy for me, lots of "I love you"s, but I can see why others have enjoyed it!
Renee wrote: "I just finished 
and loved it. Thank you for picking it for me xo"Ur Welcome! I also loved
which u picked for me!
Hello, I cannot read the books picked for me as my library doesn't have enough copies of those books and I cannot afford to buy them myself as I need ever penny to my uni books next month :/

I shall check the library tomorrow, cheers :D
Hey, sorry guys but I don't think I am going to be able to read the books that Leigh picked for me. I already started Goblin's Quest picked for me by Debroah and I will in fact finish this book. I am having some difficulties with the book. It is getting better and easier to read now but still with this book and other books that I been reading I wont get to read the one Leigh picked for me this month. I will read them because I have Mockingjay and Divergent that I bought with my money but I just don't have the time to read it. Sorry :(
I finally finished
and it was a good book nice cute story but not really for me. At times it was good but the whole time I found myself really just wanting to finish the story. I do not plan to read anymore books on this series but the author of this book does have another series that I am interested in reading.

"How was it? I've seen that one and wondered about it. It's told from a child's POV isn't it?

Yeah, and that part was a little annoying at first, but after you get use to the 5yr old POV it is a pretty good book. Certainly produced a lot of discussion (did it for my book club too).
I started
last night!If I would of known it was first person narrative I wouldn't of ever bought it(must use the sample or look inside more often!!)- boring me to death already and I'm less than 10% in! Plus I hate the writing style. May have to choose my second pick instead from your message Rebecka!
I'm still working on
I'm about halfway through it listening to the audio book and enjoying Finn and Cladia's part because of Finn being Jiles and someone else also saying he is Jiles but not Attia's or Kiero's parts because I see no real connection to Finn except that they want to escape too.

My library doesn't have any of these either. They aren't out on Danish yet, and they don't do english versions.
I guess I will have to pass this month then >_< Sorry
Mod
. I enjoyed it.Thanks Tawna! Here is my review.http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...
I will try to read
but not sure if I will get to it this month.
Thanks Candy for picking Immortal Hearts for me. I loved it. Although the end could have been a bit different. At least for me. I came by this series by accident and I don't regret it at all!!
I tried. I really, really did. I forced myself to read halfway through
, but I just couldn't finish it. It was too confusing--too many things either weren't explained or just didn't take any sense--and I couldn't make myself like a single character. :(

I liked it, but it's not the easiest thing to get through. It took me forever and I still haven't read the rest of the books in the series.
I have finished my book for July The Immortal Rulesand I quite enjoyed it! Thanks for recommending this one Sheri. :)
I finished one of the books, Embrace the Night, I gave it four stars! Thanks for picking it!
Mod
I'm glad you enjoyed it! It has been one of my favorites so far this year :)
Still working on Cindy's pick for me
which is still confusing me for some reason or perhaps I can't pay enough attention to the audio. Hoping to finish this tomorrow.
Missy wrote: "Still working on Cindy's pick for me which is still confusing me for some reason or perhaps I can't pay enough attention to the audio. Hoping to finish this tomorrow."Yeah, I was not fond of the first book. It confused me. Sorry it's been hard to get through.

Leigh-I thoroughly enjoyed

, it was very funny, and I found myself laughing out loud quite a few times. 4 stars.
was also pretty good, but not as much as the other two. 3 stars. Thank you for such wonderful selections. I already read the sequel to one and am planning on it for both of the others.-----
