Catherine Bruno | 771 comments @Jenny Grisha trilogy = <3 and I'm glad I'm not the only one who rated The Sin Eater's Daughter kind of low, I just couldn't get into it.

YAY!!!"

Donna (BookDragonGirl) (bookdragongirl) Zainab, Throne of Glass is AWESOME!!! Hope you enjoy it as much as I did!!!


message 13807: by Ashley Marie (new)

Ashley Marie Wow, I haven't posted here in awhile.

I really enjoyed UnSouled -- picking up UnDivided from the library this Saturday, I can't wait!

Currently listening to the audio of Mastiff and loving it. Susan Denaker reads very well.

Also reading The Throne of Fire which picked up nicely last night, and The Thief which I'm enjoying so far (only 30ish pages in).

WHAT!? Seriously? That's CRAZY and a bit scary. Hope they get everything back!

Kaylani (cityeclectics) | 297 comments A bunch of groups randomly deleted. It could have easily been this group. I lost 4 of my 30ish groups. :(

That said, I am like Jenny with books except then it almost bcomes obsessive like MUST SPEND ALL TIME READING. And I can read a 200-300 page novel in an hour sometimes so I can go through a LOT of books in a few weeks :s So I have to limit myself. To 6 books at a time and rotate them.

Jenny - are you going to continue with the Black City trilogy? I didn't care for that one at all. The first one was just ok for me and things went downhill from there.

@Jen I am going to try the next book. Karens sending me her copy :)

Kaylani- Your Kindle's gone? aww :/


I just finished Eden's Ore Secrets (Eden's Ore, #1) by B.V. Bayly which was pretty good. I was just gonna check out a chapter and two and well, now I just finished it. Now back to the book I was originally reading: Nowhere But Here (Thunder Road, #1) by Katie McGarry

There was another Becky on the list. I think in Missouri. It really stinks about the group MIA. I hope it gets fixed sooner rather than later.


message 13820: by Becky (new)

Becky (bek11) | 17 comments I just finished The Whispering Skull (Lockwood & Co., #2) by Jonathan Stroud .

I think The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry by Gabrielle Zevin is next.


message 13821: by Victoria (new)

Victoria Zigler (toriz) | 4472 comments Heidi: That sucks! I hope the group issue gets resolved, and you get the whole thing back.

Kaylani: I hope you find your Kindle soon. If it went on vacation without you, it better be planning to come back loaded with a bunch of new books for you! ;)

Lauren Stoolfire | 2047 comments I just finished An Uncertain Choice (An Uncertain Choice, #1) by Jody Hedlund . Check out my review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Thanks! I'm already four chapters in and loving it! I bought the first two books!

Will do Harlee! It will probably take me a month to get through book 1 as its 825 pages!! I'm already four chapters in and its good so far!


message 13829: by Kaylani (new)

Kaylani (cityeclectics) | 297 comments Its on my TBR pile too. Let me know how you like it. :D

I likely won't get to it this month anyways. :P


message 13830: by Ashley Marie (new)

Ashley Marie I listened to all five ASOIAF books back-to-back on audio, it was the most efficient way for me to get through all of them. Storm of Swords and Game of Thrones are my favorites.


message 13831: by Harlee (new)

Harlee | 1583 comments @Rose WOW. I almost bought the book once and don't remember it being that big lol!


Rose (The_Calm_Reader) (roselittlebookowl75) | 1372 comments @Harlee I know right! Okay I double checked and it's 807 pages lol :) Book 2 is 969 pages omg!


message 13833: by Harlee (new)

Harlee | 1583 comments Oh wow! I've only ever read one book that was over 900 pages and it was on my kindle!

Tommy Hancock (tommyhancock) | 957 comments I finished Girl of Nightmares (Anna, #2) by Kendare Blake a couple days ago and just haven't updated. I liked it more than Anna Dressed in Blood, honestly, but they were very different reads from one another.

Up next Charlie Bone and the Time Twister (The Children of the Red King, #2) by Jenny Nimmo
