What are you currently reading? :)
I started
a couple days ago, but I haven't had much reading time, so I'm not very far into it yet.
Finding it quite boring.
I finished The Raven Boys and..argh...was a dissapointement. I thought the plot was boring (it did pick up towards the end but it was too late for me to care...) and I didn't care about any of the characters. All the boys perspectives sounded the same despite the fact that they had such different backgrounds....I'm about to start
and
. I'm exited since it's the first time that I'll read Harry Potter in english.

The Raven Boys is a bit of a weird one. Way too slow. I think if the author had gotten on with it and told the story in 1 book rather than 4 it might have been a better read!
Watch out for
it will make you want to make cupcakes!

But maybe the next book will change my mind. I remember having similar thoughts for
and I ended up really liking the others books.And miam, cupcakes! I'm already hungry I guess I should start this book later this evening then!
I'm reading Jennifer L. Armentrout's Opal. I've read the first two books and both were amazing! So far, I'm loving this one as well. Second time I read a series, consecutively (the first one was TMI). :))
And others which I am one page though so I'm not sure that counts

"What do you think so far? I liked it, but not as uch as the first two books in the series.

which is now one of my favourites! Amazing book. I'm currently reading
. I have high hopes for this one.

I really liked it! It was really good, though it was confusing that all of the enemies from the first and second became good. Lol
Mod
Just finished this and it was pretty poo!

Mod
for a while. It was getting pretty interesting when I put it down last night!
Mod
"Awesome book! How are you liking it so far?
Mod
Actually enjoying it so far.
Reading
which is ok so far, but I feel the author wastes too much time on pointless detail.
Mod
A lot of action so far"
I'm going to try and join you for this one if i can get my other buddy reads read!
I was considering
too so might wait and see what you think! I was slightly put off by the line about 'six, gorgeously captivating Guardians' I'm thinking love-heptagon?
Just finished
and
, loved them both!Now onto:
I am still reading
. I am reading it slowly though because there are 1200 pages and I am reading other books too. I love this series though. I just started reading
. It is pretty funny. It is a fun light read.
Just finished
The romance part was super annoying.
Reading
it's pretty jumpy and confusing though. Might put it down.
Mod
Give up with
was way too confusing because of how jumpy it was.About to start

I can't decide what to read next now :(
If you feel like an apocalyptic,
was really good, and i see you have that one. :)

These past days, I read for the first time
and it was a really nice experience. It took me a while to get used to the writting style and to undertsand Hagrid (the way he talks in french translation was much easier to understand to me) and also to realize who was who (names aren't all the sames in the french translation) and get used to the ''wizzard'' vocabulary in english but in the end, it was great. I have to say however, that while I usually don't like translations in french and think that the people who did Harry Potter did an AMAZING job. I don't say this often but Harry Potter's translation is just as good as the original in my opinion.I also read
and at first I loved it and loved the main character ( I related a lot to her) but then BAM!The main character became so annoying that I couldn't stand the book. She's one of the most selfish character I've read about.Then, for the last book in my 2013 challenge (read 130 books/shorts story, graphic novels), I chose
. I was really scared but exited when I started it because, I wasn't a big fan of the tv show. I liked but I got bored after a few episoded and I was never able to get back into it (I felt lost because a lot of times had passed and I didn't remeber that much about what I had seen). I was also scared that I wouldn't be able to get use to the writing style since it's an adult book and when I read the prologue I thought I wouldn't be able to get throught the book because I was so confused. I didn't undertsand what was going on, who was who....The writting was so descriptive... but then I read the first chapter and all my issues with the prologue were gone and I just couldn't stop reading! It's amazing.
I am glad that I've watch most of the tv show because it really help visualize the characters, the places and everything and I would probably be a little lost without it. I'll probably watch the rest of the tv shows before I read the other books ( I don't have the money to buy the big paperpacks editions that I love and I hate mass market), even if I know that thinks started to get a little (or a lot) different from the books in season 2 and 3. I still think it'll help me understand the books better.
I am currently reading the third book of the Witchling series by Lizzy Ford,
.

The character was annoying me way too much!Going to start
now, to get it over with.Hoping it's better than Hidden wings, because if a character pops up like Emma, i'l be deleting it off my kindle without a second thought.
Mod
The character was annoying me way too much!"Glad I didn't request
now! I had a feeling it was going to be bad!
Just finished
now im reading Dare Me by Eric Devine
Gave up with "In my dreams"Starting
now.
Mod
Starting
now."Good day you're having today with books! not! I'm trying to read
, but sometimes it just feels so long winded. It's like nothing is happening. I really wish the story would just get a move on.
Mod
This book is doing my head in. For someone who claims to know nothing about the non-existant 'fish people' he sure seems to know a hell of a lot about them, including the fact that they are carniverous and will eat you if you meet one underwater. I mean really?I may have to switch books. I'm not in the mood for such dross at the moment.
Just finished
starting
tomorrow. I've read 3 books in 3 days.
Mod
so far, we've had this scene:
she's carrying a drink and bags, and someone bumps into her, and gets her drink all down her.
He then offers to take her to his house round the corner so that she can change out of her wet top. Oh, and she's a pop star and really famous by the way....
Am I really reading this or am I watching 'Notting Hill'?
And now she's just told him when offered a clean shirt:
"I'm sure it'll fit, I like big things."
How embarrassing!

I think this one is going to feel like a really looooong series. I thought there was only going to be 3 books but there's actually 4.
