Rebecca McCray (RebPai) | 195 comments I just finished Emily Love; Capture Your Heart, Appreciate Life and Believe the Impossible by Margaret Ann Loveday . Next, I'm going to read Dragon Rising by Tom Fallwell . Yes, I'm back to Indie reading and frequently amazed at the stories.

Storm Arashi (stormarashi) | 1130 comments Breaking Sky by Cori McCarthy

I had to start this over again... I'm not sure if I'm gonna make it... I'm reading this to get out of my writes block. I should like this book, I freaking loved Top Gun, I watch the local air show every year.

Victoria Zigler (toriz) | 4472 comments Anne wasn't as good as I thought it would be. It has good potential, but needs work. The author was so busy trying to sound well-educated that the meaning of sentences was often lost amid a jumble of words that felt awkward used side by side, and the wrong version of the words was often used too. Also, many of the actions and reactions of the characters just didn't make sense; they worked to send the story in the direction the author wanted, but weren't how people would really act or react. The people also had behaviours and ideas better suited to today, rather than the late 18th century (which is when the book is set). I read the whole thing, because I always do, but I was tempted mor than once not to do so, and won't read it again.

Anyway, I'm now reading The Dreamweaver's Journey: The Age of Awakenings Book 1, which I'm about a third of the way through, and really enjoying. I'm sure I've got copies of both The Guardian Child's Return: The Age of Awakenings Book 2 and Legacy of Mist and Shadow: The Age of Awakenings Book 3 as well, so will look among the stacks of books on my Kindle for those, and read them next.

Oh,and I've just ordered my audio copy of The King's Curse, which will be here in a couple of days, and which I'll start listening to pretty quickly after it arrives. It will be here before Friday (unless the mailman goes on strike again; the Royal Mail hasn't had a strike in the last couple of months, as far as I'm aware, so I expect they're due for one).

Kimberly Vanderbloom (kvanderbloom) | 80 comments I am reading Siege and Storm (The Grisha, #2) by Leigh Bardugo and it is really good so far


message 12621: by Tommy (new)

Tommy Hancock (tommyhancock) | 957 comments Finally finished The Enchantress (The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel, #6) by Michael Scott Not the best book in the series, all and all, but the ending got me like whaaaaat?!

Also finished Bone, Vol. 1 Out from Boneville (Bone, #1) by Jeff Smith and Bone, Vol. 2 The Great Cow Race (Bone, #2) by Jeff Smith . I've been meaning to read these comics for years and am so glad I finally started. So far it's equal parts hilarious and epic.

Up next I'm gonna read The Grimjinx Rebellion by Brian Farrey to finish up the Vengekeep Prophecies trilogy. If it's as good as the first two, this could be one of my favorite series.

I finished Blood of My Blood (Jasper Dent, #3) by Barry Lyga and it was SO GOOD, great ending to the series! Also finished A Wicked Thing (A Wicked Thing, #1) by Rhiannon Thomas and I really liked this one! One of the better "fairy tales" I have read.

Next I'm reading Pure (Covenant, #2) by Jennifer L. Armentrout and The Alex Crow by Andrew Smith

Lots of crow themed books lately apparently! Although I don't have a clue with The Alex Crow is about, I grabbed it because of the author!

Rose (The_Calm_Reader) (roselittlebookowl75) | 1372 comments I'm currently reading Red Queen (Red Queen, #1) by Victoria Aveyard and book 2 of the After series After We Collided (After, #2) by Anna Todd . I am SO hooked on the After series!!!

For the first time in my life I DNF a book. I started Outlander (Outlander, #1) by Diana Gabaldon last week. Between the Scottish brogue, the endless sea of needless details, and the lack of plot by 40 pages in, I just could not go on. I have never DNF a book ever.

Outlander was waaaaaaaaaaaaay too long.


Rose (The_Calm_Reader) (roselittlebookowl75) | 1372 comments @Heidi I tried really hard to keep reading Outlander but falling asleep five times over when reading it and dreading picking it back up again told me to mark it as DNF.


message 12633: by Heather (new)

Heather (hersecretsmile) | 290 comments I agree with Heidi. Outlander was far too long. I don't blame you for not finishing it Rose! I finished it myself but it took me at least 6 months to get through. I nearly gave up on it several times.

You really don't need to re-read (unless you want to). The two books have some characters and storylines that overlap, but it's not a true sequel IMO.

I thought this was going to be a trilogy with the same characters and a single plot.

No its different characters in each one, but the central plot is about Lilac's Dad's company. The novella is also about that too. So I'm sure it will all tie together by the end.
