I am reading
..The first book in the Pretty Little Liars series by Sara Shepard..I got hooked on the show, thinking I wouldn't when I first decided to at least attempt to watch it because people kept talking about it and I thought it would be some silly little show...Boy was I wrong! lol (Hey, I like it anyway!) :-)
I'm reading
. I have mixed feelings about it and am somewhat disappointed I'm not enjoying it as much as I thought I would.

I've heard some mixed things about this one, so I hope it's good. This series deserves a good ending.

OH ok, cool! Yeah, the 4th book is really depressing, so I think that might be part of the low reviews. But the story has me interested, even though there are some awful characters in it. Might be worth reading though, for closure!

I haven't read the 4th book yet but I've heard it's not nearly as good. I think the MC is kind of whiny and annoying.

Oh I do hope this last book wraps things up in a satisfactory way. Would hate to be smacked with a bad ending especially given some previous experiences with the endings of other dystopian trilogies
:(

OH I agree, I personally HATED the ending to Matched and Delirium. I had high hopes for both those books! And I have LOVED The Testing and for me it has been a hard to put down series!

I thought I remember you saying you were a fan of this one! Honestly, I didn't think the 4th one was nearly as bad as people say. I think it was just a matter of the book not meeting readers' expectations. I went in with no expectations and thought it was a very interesting read. It surprised me, had a ton of new worldbuilding (some of it not very realistic, but still entertaining), and the main character, while extremely hateable at times, certainly made things more complex than they needed to be! I'd say it's worth reading :)

I only read the first book in that series David because I was warned that the follow up books were even more depressing and not as good as the first book. I was not in love with book 1 so I thought it best to stop while I was ahead :)

I did not like the diary entry style writing for one, the MC was just not likable to me what so ever. While the concept of the moon being hit and moving closer to the earth really intrigued me I just felt this book was dry without any action or anything pulling me to keep reading through.

I love the first one only a little bit in the second one I love the way they write it you follow their journeys through the envelope if you ever read 13 reasons why were you follow them with the tapes I love that sort of stuff
Heather wrote: "I have to read The last little blue Envelope still but I loved the first one"The beginning starts off really great can't wait to read the rest of it

I had a serious book hangover after reading The Book Thief. It was hard to start a new book right away. :)

It is VERY depressing. That's definitely a negative, although it felt real in a lot of ways which was a positive.

or Heist Society
. Both are fun light reads :)
