Jen I listened to all 3 Wolves of Mercy Falls on audio. Even though I love Jenna Lamia alas even she could not get me to love the second and third books.

I got all the way through to the middle of
before I stopped. I will pick it back up when George finishes the ENTIRE series! Probably in another 5 years. ;)

lol @daniel, I am going to wait closer to when the last book comes out. I really want.l to.though. love Percy! but yea I want to remember everything
The library FINALLY transported the books I placed a hold on to my home branch, so I can go pick them up. I haven't read anything for too long. *sigh*Should I read
, an action-thriller book... or
, a light and funny book...

BUT my favorite ending in a post-apocalyptic has to be Sunrise
Finished reading

Thanks for the reminder Jane! :)
Heather wrote: "What is the first book called?"Ashfall. The first book was awesome, I didnt enjoy the second book as much, but that doesn't mean anything when the conclusion book comes.
I felt the same way with Monument 14, first was awesome, second ok, third was awesome, so it balances out lol
Heidi *Listen. I'll just keep talking anyway. * wrote: "W.J. I was one of the minority who was not in love with Divergent. It was full of bullet sized holes IMO but I am far from the target audience!"Hi Heidi, neither am I by a long way.The trilogy has been such a hit, I was keen to understand the appeal. There were some elements missing for me in terms of the back story and world building and other parts that didn't feel believable. That said, it was well written, had a few likeable characters and great pacing throughout.

I can't wait that long, although George has threatened to kill off more characters if people don't stop pressurising him to finish all seven. Better not be any more Starks! I couldn't have stopped half way through, always feel the need to see a book through to the bitter end whether I'm enjoying it or not. I put it down to having a bit of OCD ;)

Jane, without a doubt! You'll find some huge
and Mike Mullin fans in here! Everyone connected to him when he did his Q&A!! And the cover!!!?! It's not until reading it that the cover is sooooooo powerful!

When I read
, I thought it was a complete series. I was halfway through that 5th book when I found out it wasn't and it took years to publish the next books. I also found that it felt like each book ended in the middle of the story anyway. I normally don't put books down either but didn't mind so much with this particular series. Come on George!!! I had heard that too about him threatening to kill off more characters. Hahaaa!

Amazon says my books are finally being shipped, and I expect them to be here this week so I'll be ready to start Shatter Me by next week if that works for you.

Awesome!
I have a whole bunch of things I have to get through (see list above) but I can bump up Shatter Me over Angelfall. I should be ready to go either next week or the week after that, if that's ok.
@Daniel Yeah that's fine! Quite a list you got there lol I hope the group read for this month is Angelfall. I've already read it but I wouldn't mind rereading it with the group :)
so I need some advice. I am going to start code name verity tomorrow, but after that I plan on reading harry potter. but I'm wondering if I should read a few stand alone or quick trilogy reads before harry potter since there are so many books and since they are pretty long. or should I just get right into.harry potter?
Straight into Harry Potter and don't stop until you've finished it! That's what I did and it was epic. Just my opinion :)
I'd go straight into HP, Alison.HP is a long series, but reads really quick. I read the entire series in two weeks this January, and I'm not a fast reader at all. It helps that the series is really fun and engaging.
thanks yall :) I gotta get them from the library so hopefully I can get them tomorrow if not I'll start on code name verity :)

Or possibly the national budget, if Dan Bittner joined her.
I just finished my very first grown-up scifi,
. Now I'm starting
and hope it's just as good. It's pretty epic.Also working on some things for the Underhyped Readathon, which is going on over on Twitter and BookTube, and also has its own GR group. I've finished a couple of books so far but currently reading

I actually just bought this book on the Audible children's sale Icefall because she narrates it. I am a little obsessed!
I'm reading code name verity, but for some reason I just can't get into it yet. I'm on page 38 and getting distracted so easily. what's wrong with me erg
