Thats amazing

Imy♥♥ (crazykindleaddict) | 50 comments Just recently finished Rocked (Rocked, #1) by Clara Bayard which unbeknownst to me was a very VERY short read. Not really my cuppa tea.

Have just started reading Into the Deep (Into the Deep, #1) by Samantha Young


message 2003: by Marie (new)

Marie | 257 comments So I finished A Game of Thrones (A Song of Ice and Fire, #1) by George R.R. Martin and I loved it. I even cried and I almost never cry reading a book.
I also finished Deception (Defiance, #2) by C.J. Redwine and I loved it too. The first 100 pages were a little boring but it was worth it in the end.

I also read How They Met, and Other Stories by David Levithan and I liked it but It wasn't what expected. I expected a collection of short stories about hot some people met and I guess it was that kind of book but at some points it almost felt like I was reading a book about a day in the life of different homosexual teenagers instead of how people met. I wouldn't have minded a book about homosexuality at all, only if just wasn't what I expected and what I was in the mood for so I was a little disappointed.

I don't know yet what I'll read next but it could be Lies (Gone, #3) by Michael Grant

Water by Natasha Hardy I was hoping that I was just in a bad mood yesterday, but I'm swaying towards thinking that maybe this book is just poo.


message 2005: by Abi (new)

Abi (abi_gr) | 27659 comments I know what you mean.
Threads of Chaos by D.L. Miles was the same yesterday.
Will probably take a break from it and finish it later, it's not really bad, it's just not gripping me.
The pacing is weird though, one minute it's really slow, then it goes fast for 3 pages, then slow again.

Rachmi  | 4882 comments I'm reading Phoenix (Black City, #2) by Elizabeth Richards but don't think I can finish it tomorrow. Got distracted by Elysium and The Lord of The Rings: The Return of The King extended edition buddy watch with my bestfriends :D

Water by Natasha Hardy Forced myself to finish. Utter drivel. If there's a sequel it's going on the 'no way' shelf. In fact I might change the shelf name to 'no way in hell' - so annoyed by this book!

I finished Inhuman (Fetch, #1) by Kat Falls too and Abbie is right - it was very boring for quite a good chunk of the book, probably from the 25% mark to the 80% mark really. I might read the sequel, but I wouldn't rush to get hold of a copy or anything. I can also see a big old love triangle coming!

The first 25% was quite good. It had an interesting and original idea. There's loads of books like that with zombies, and there's a decent amount with aliens, but not human/animal hybrids like that.

message 2017: by Abi (new)

Abi (abi_gr) | 27659 comments Just about to start Clockwork Prince (The Infernal Devices, #2) by Cassandra Clare which i'm hoping is better than the first one. Clockwork angel bored me quite often.

Clockwork prince was slightly better than clockwork angel. I still need to get through clockwork princess but I've been trying to read some review books first.

We've just been talking about that one on the random share thread! We were looking at the cover of the sequel World After (Penryn & the End of Days, #2) by Susan Ee and comparing it to the first book's cover.

Not Pretty Enough by Jaimie Admans Good - lots of funny embarrassing moments.
Losing Mars (Saving Mars, #3) by Cidney Swanson Very good so far. Jessamyn can't help but get herself in trouble it seems.

12,000?!?
Mines at 130 or something.
It used to be at like 200 something, but i got it down a bit.

I was wondering how you managed to get 12k on your kindle! I completely forgot about the cloud.
I have 374 on the cloud, you have like 30x more. :)

Flame Moon (Flame Moon, #1) by K.J. Jackson 15% into this now, and it just turned into a time traveler one!

I used to go a bit nuts. I could download like 200 free books a day, and I've had the kindle for 1yr 8 months now so I kind of ammassed quite a lot!

I got mine the christmas before. Managed to kill it by october and had to get a kindle fire to replace it. the original kindle couldn't keep up with me.


message 2034: by Abi (new)

Abi (abi_gr) | 27659 comments I have the kindle paperwhite and love it. I got the 3 year insurance cover for it as well though, so if i have that problem i can get it replaced for free.

Flame Moon (Flame Moon, #1) by K.J. Jackson keeps changing paths. One minute, they went back in time, the next it's turned into Starcrossed (Starcrossed, #1) by Josephine Angelini with mythology.

that does not sound good. you have to be a really talented author to pull off switching genres well.

I didn't like this series nearly as much as the City of Bones series. I loved the City of Bones books. These Clockwork books....meh. I still have to read Clockwork Princess though.

If it's the same ghost writer as the last few Vampire Diaries books, i wouldn't bother. They were really bad.
It still annoys me they sacked her from her own books. :(

It still annoys me that she never wrote the tenth night world novel. I've been waiting for like 14 years for it, and she keeps saying that she's writing it. it has yet to appear though.

Urgh, i know! I've been waiting for 6 years. I used to go on her fan site, and she said she was writing it, and was already at 600 pages. Then she said she was going to write another vampire novel (different from TVD), then another one to the forbidden games.
That was last year though, and she said she was going to write another 400 pages.
The release date keeps changing, and i;ve given up hope for it.

There is a first chapter available now, but I'm still not sure we'll ever get the whole book. if we do i might just die of shock.

message 2043: by Angela (new)

Angela | 520 comments I really loved the secret circle! But it was written in the 90's and the chances of her actually finishing it are probably really rare. I mean i would die of happiness if she did finish it lol but i have a feeling she wont. And if she does it wont be anytime soon. Whatever! If she never writes it i wont be super upset because the power ended good enough.


message 2044: by Angela (new)

Angela | 520 comments Why did L.J not write it and the ghost writer did? I never understood what happened with that.


message 2045: by Abi (new)

Abi (abi_gr) | 27659 comments I really liked the secret circle too.

My favorites are The forbidden games, Nightworld and Darkest powers, though. :)

I absolutely loved The forbidden games, because it reminded me so much of the movie Jumanji.

Abi (abi_gr) | 27659 comments Angela wrote: "Why did L.J not write it and the ghost writer did? I never understood what happened with that."

It was something about a contract. The contract she agreed to said something along the lines of, if she refused to write something how they wanted it, they could sack her.
She was new to the whole publishing thing then though, so she didn't know what she was signing up for.

A lot of people have said it's because she wanted Elena to end up with Damon in the end, and the publishers never.

Abi (abi_gr) | 27659 comments Reading The Homecoming Masquerade by Spencer Baum now. :)


message 2048: by Angela (new)

Angela | 520 comments Hm, that stinks. I never got into the VD because i watched the show before i knew that there was books. I always wanted elena with damon in the show though. Stefans an angsty whimp.


message 2049: by Angela (new)

Angela | 520 comments I havent read any other of L.J's books but im going to BAM tomorrow and im deffinantly looking for that series. Jumanji is one of my favorite movies!

Angela | 520 comments Has anyone else read "the vincent boys" by abbi glines? Is it new adult or contemperary? Im reading it now and i thought it was contemp. But it seems new adult-ish now 80 pages in.
