. Really good!"Haven't got my copy yet, but looking forward to when I can grab a copy and read it! Also looking forward to Winter!
Funny thing is, when I first started reading Cinder (which I only did because it was based on a fairy tale, and being offered for free in exchange for a review) I wasn't sure if I liked it. By the time I was about half way through though, I was hooked! Now I love the series!

LOL!! I'm sort of enjoying it! I don't think I would enjoy GoTs as much if I read it straight through without some other stuff at the same time. It lets me savor my GoTs time even more :)

I know, right? Can't wait to see the characters come alive on the big screen!

I'll give in to the sounding board. XD I will definietly give the Lunar Chronicles a chance. I had to DNF Scarlet so I never picked Cress up. I will give the entire thing a chance when Winter is released so I can marathon.
I did a lot of reading this weekend...I read the book I said I would be beta reading, which I really enjoyed.
After that, I read Freak City, Dragon Town, and Happy Slumbers (books 2, 3, and 4 of the series Snapdragon Alley starts). It's a really good little series, but there were some parts left unanswered at the end of the series, which was a bit annoying.
Anyway, I'm reading The Bride of Lammermoor now.

I'm still on the first couple of chapters but I like it so far.
I remember reading an excerpt of These Broken Stars when it first came out and liked it, but I still haven't read it yet lol.
I finished reading one beta read, although I'm going to reread it again to make sure I caught everything I want to touch on and get my notes all ready :) Still working on my other beta read, although almost done!
Still reading
and I'm loving this one! I just love the silly nerdish humor mixed in with all the action! Fun read :)

Natalie wrote: "Hi everyone just finished reading Twilight"What did you think? I've heard mixed reviews, but haven't read it myself.
@Karen. I want to see the movie so badly and even though I know is already out I won't see it until I read the book. That's why I'm a little desperate to have the book in my hands.
Natalie wrote: "Hi everyone just finished reading Twilight"I really enjoyed the Twilight saga. The movies were pretty good too, but the books were better, in my opinion.
I'm still reading The Bride of Lammermoor (about half way through it). But my audio copy of The Kingmaker's Daughter arrived today, so I'll be starting that tonight too... Can't wait!
After starting and then DNF-ing
and putting
aside to read as ebooks (because I didn't like the narrator)I settled on
on audio, which is book 2 in the series and
as an ebook - which is an ARC I need to review. Nothing going in print right now.

These Broken Stars kept me reading, but it was a little too romance heavy for me overall. But it was very beautifully written and an interesting story!

I'm halfway through Crown of Midnight!!! So freaking good! I'm also halfway through After by Anna Todd....I am SO obsessed with this series! I already bought books 1-3!
Really liked
and gave it four stars. So excited to read Icicles Like Kindling and Ice Like Fire. And can these covers BE any prettier? *drools*Also drooling over my reread of
-- this will likely go down as one of my favorite books of all time. (And if I give it five stars instead of four this time around, it'll be one of the few trilogies to get five stars all the way through.)Still loving the Locke & Key books too, I'm on book four
my mind has decided to fancast Zachary Quinto as Dodge/Zack/whatever his name is. it's great.
is another beautiful book (not just the cover!), the writing is fantastic. It's a lot more emotional than I expected, with a lot of really well-developed characters.

Scarlett was my least favorite of all of them although I did like it. I LOVED Cress!
