I'm reading
at the moment. I'm doing some rereading also. I'm currently on the third book of the Vampire Academy series and then I will start the Bloodlines series. I have
so that's why I'm rereading, to refresh my memory.I'm rereading The Hollows by Kim Harrison. I'm reading
I'm so excited about the 3rd book of the Angel series being released on Audible the 26th of November. I'm getting ready to re- listen to
, and the the third book, I've preordered it,
For you audio fans, this is a wonderful series. I really loved the first two books by L.A. Weatherly or Lee Weatherly. I'm so excited to start rereading these books.I have to admit that I have
and
these on audio format. I didn't want to join in on the group or buddy reads until I went back and listened to Angelfall first. It's been so long that I have to refresh my mind or I will be lost. I would've joined in if not for that.
Smart move, I definitely wished I'd at least skim read the first book again before World After. Would have helped. But it was still a good read :) Now I'm reading
Have you guys seen the new movie trailer? http://movies.yahoo.com/video/vampire...I'm not sure about the whole Mean Girls aspect to it, but this one gives me hope (much better than the last one)

Lol a few people told me to skip it and then a few told me I'd love it, so when it was on sale I went for it. 20% in and mixed so far. I could do without the excessively long description of fashion stuff (definitely not my thing), but the concept is interesting, if pretty far fetched. I'm hoping for a good twist or two or I might be disappointed!

I can actually remember sitting on my bed, turning the last page, saying "You've gotta be kidding me" and wanting to chuck that book across the room. I didn't think it had any substance at all. I have the sequels, but have been putting off reading them just because I thought so little of the first one. I'll be interested to hear what you think!
Angela - I also listened to
. I thought the narrator ranged from so-so to I-don't-think-I-can-keep-listening-to-her. I wish I'd read this one in print. It would have carried an entirely different tone and I probably would have given it 5 stars.

I hate when that happens. I love acion/mysteries on audio but dystopians I have to read. All others are my mood.

Its been a long time since I've read Wither. I remember liking it at the time, but I honestly forgot a lot of it. The sequel, Fever, was better...I think what I liked the best was how things would go off on this crazy direction that was totally unexpected...made it entertaining! I still need to read the last book, but I haven't been motivated to!

Thanks for the updates Tracy, Jen, and David -- yeah David the fashion references in Wither were mentioned to me too! I am glad I skipped it then :)

Agreed, Throne of Glass, but only if you've read the novellas first! They're quick, awesome reads and will give you a lot of perspective prior to Throne of Glass :)

[b..."Loved Fangirl so read that if you want a nice romance -- I also enjoyed Dash & Lilly but not as much as Fangirl but it is a nice holiday themed read.
Finished reading
and I enjoyed it, gave it 4 stars. I really felt for the MCs, so it had that going for it!

Throne of Glass it is! Thank you! David, have you finished
yet? Let me rephrase. Have you set it on fire in a rage because of the time you have wasted reading it?
OK, maybe that's a little extreme. It has been about a year since I read it.
: )

So... from these comments, I'm guessing I shouldn't bother reading
? It's been sitting on my e-reader for a couple of years now, but I haven't managed to get more than a few chapters in.

LOL I didn't hate it! And I think my expectations were low enough that it made for an okay read :)

My take is that it's an okay read but it never should have been a dystopian...or if it was a dystopian, the author needed to seriously rethink the world building. I thought the story as a whole was compelling (albeit infuriating at times), but the random bits of world building that made no sense are what grated on a lot of people's nerves. But I was prepared for that going in. That being said...I'm really going to have to think hard before continuing, I would much rather finish a series like Birthmarked first, which I really enjoyed :)
