Fantastic series. Hope all of you guys like it.
Well still reading dust and decay, also started the fear trials which I should be done with soon. Been so busy with book club stuff that I've been listening to a lot of audio books. Tried an ember in the ashes and just couldn't get into it, gonna have to get the book. Also tried cruel beauty and couldn't get into that either. But now I'm listening to snow like ashes and I love it!!!
When I stopped by the library to return some items I wasn't planning on checking anything out, but then I saw this:
. I've just read the prologue and it looks extremely promising! :D

Abselutely love it. Love most of Davids stories.

Finished The One by Kiera Cass last night. I will say, of the first 3 books it was by far the best one. Gonna keep my streak alive and read her two novellas before starting The Heir.
Karen wrote: "Ha, Caedy! I do that too!!"I pride myself in the fact that I can read more than 1 book at a time and not screw up the storylines when it comes time to write reviews. Oh, I'm currently down to 4 books now...b/c I'd forgotten I'd finished Fablehaven this morning on my way to work. :D

I can read multiple books without mixing up story/character. My problem is just I'll usually get more into one and just drop the rest for now and finish that one, then the traction is broken and it feels kind of cold jumping back in mid-story, so I start over. That's why I will read 3 books at most, usually only one(not counting comics).
@Tommy, I usually tend to focus a lot on the ones that I've been requested to do reviews on if those are in my currently reading list....however, I also have nerve damage and holding physical books for too long tends to hurt thus I have my audio books and my digital books for when I can't actually hold a physical book.

I picked up a preview of
at the library - it includes the first three chapters. Might as well test the waters.... :)

I think you'll really like it, Karen, and they are super-quick reads, a plus for those of us with limited reading time!
And Daniel and Harlee love them, so that's a pretty good endorsement!

I hope you like it more than me! Just couldn't get through it, unfortunately.

Just finished
Now all I have is 2 prequels and a companion book before being able to say I've read the entire Bone collection. Such a remarkable series.Up next,
@David I just got In the Afterlight a few days ago! I'm thinking I want to reread Never Fade first though. It's been awhile haha

I so need to finish TDM series! I read TDM and have Never Fade and In The Afterlight on my shelf but haven't read them yet. So many books, so little time! I'm thinking I will finish this series in either September or October as a fall read.

I was a wee bit disappointed with this, although I still enjoyed it. I personally thought it was the weakest of the series, but let me know what you think, David.

I'm about 70 pages into
. It does have a very Harry Potter feel to it in that they're in a college that's like a prep school. So far, though, I haven't found a primary conflict outside of competing in classes. Surely there must be more...something sinister.

Awesome! It's been a while since I read Never Fade too, so I was really confused at the beginning, but now I'm settling in. It's pretty good so far and getting better with each page ;) Enjoy!!

I'll let you all know! I've enjoyed the series, but it's not one of my favorite series like I know it is for a lot of people. So I don't have massive expectations or anything. I thought it started really slow, but now things are ramping up quite well (page 80). I've got a long way to go still!

, though I think it's a little longer than it needed to be. Still, the author does a nice job of concluding the series. There's one thread that he left hanging from my perspective, though, that still irritates me. Will be curious to hear what you think.

The first half of it was hard to get through for me, but really picked up the last half. Enjoy :)

Jenny if you loved "The Storied Life..." check out "Mr.Penumbra's 24 hr bookstore".....not exactly the same concept...but it's a book about books....can't go wrong and i adored BOTH books!

I heard somewhere that he is writing a 5th book, think it was the author who said so..maybe its a spinoff?
