What are you currently reading? :)


Have just started reading



I also finished

I also read

I don't know yet what I'll read next but it could be




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.



I finished
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.


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
and comparing it to the first book's cover.

They look very alike. I like the first book cover best though!

Don't recognise that one. According to amazon I purchased it last september though so I obviously have a copy!

It's been free quite a few times, so you probably got it then. :)
Yeah, I have an addiction to free kindle books. My kindle library is currently somewhere around the 12,000 books mark.

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. :)

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've had mine since Christmas this year. Best investment ever.
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.



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.

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.

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.
