Catherine Bruno | 771 comments @zainab I have the same problem. Usually when I read a really good book and I'm in the hangover stage I try to read something completely different. Makes it easier not to downgrade a book because my expectations are high.

It's such a good book. Goodreads is an awesome place to get ideas for what to read.

Reading miss peregrines peculiar children... It started kinda slow but it's picking up a little towards the middle... Some far fetched stuff going on. But kinda creepy still..

I'm REALLY enjoying it! Just finished Solitary (Escape From Furnace, #2) by Alexander Gordon Smith and now onto the third book in the series Death Sentence (Escape From Furnace, #3) by Alexander Gordon Smith . This series is dark/creepy but very entertaining. I also have the 4th and 5th books from the library so I'll read them next :) They're short, quick reads, so I think it's worth trying the first one to see if you like it.

I thought this book was okayyy, but it didn't grab my attention enough to continue with the series. Let us know what you think of the ending!

Finished The Girl at Midnight (The Girl at Midnight, #1) by Melissa Grey and I LOVED this fantasy! 4.5 stars. Really wonderful fantasy! I fell in love with Echo and all the other supporting characters, and loved the journey and action in this one from start to end! It reminded me a lot of Daughter of Smoke and Bone.

Finished Stolen Songbird (The Malediction Trilogy, #1) by Danielle L. Jensen 4.5 stars.

I LOVED this fantasy about trolls and witches! Very unique story, and I don't think I've quite fallen in love with "the bad guy" quite so quickly LOL!

Next I'm reading Sweet by Emmy Laybourne

Me too, I felt daughter of smoke and bone was confusing, this was much easier to understand so I loved this much more.( please dont hate me.) But yes, awsome read :D

I am glad you said that Oda because I was not in love with DOS&B so was thinking I might not like this one either but perhaps that is not the case.

Def don't hate you LOL! But I did like DoS&B more. I LOVED that series! The characters and some of the basic plot was what made me think of it, but the writing was very different. But I did love the writing in Girl of Midnight.

message 14074: by Caitlin (new)

Caitlin (caitlinsiem) | 409 comments I just finished An Ember In The Ashes by Sabaa Tahir and holy crap, that was freakin fantastic!!! It may be my favorite 2015 debut. It may end up being in my top favorite books period. Everything was done so well. Truly a spectacular read. I highly highly recommend.

Starting Servants of the Storm by Delilah Dawson next. She's on panel at a writing conference I'm going to next weekend so I'm really excited to jump into her world.

Donna (donanicole) | 897 comments Clone Three (Clone Chronicles, #1) by Patti Larsen which is good so far. I just finished listening to Flesh and Bone Blood and Bone (Blood and Bone, #1) by Tara Brown and was first frustrated with the girl going back and forth to the guy and then utterly confused when the twists started arriving.

I also started Stiger's Tigers (Chronicles of An Imperial Legionary Officer Book 1) by Marc Alan Edelheit . It's a debut novel by an Indie author I had the pleasure of speaking with on the phone (as he was considering signing with my literary agent and was looking for a reference). So far it's really good!

Hi everyone from sunny Cozumel, Mexico!! I have very spotty internet once in awhile so will post when I can! I finished Opal (Lux, #3) by Jennifer L. Armentrout which ended on a cliffhanger. Gah!! I don't have Origin (Lux, #4) by Jennifer L. Armentrout here, dang it.

So started reading Nil (Nil, #1) by Lynne Matson and loving it!!


message 14081: by Catherine (new)

Catherine Bruno | 771 comments Okay, so The Girl at Midnight was not what I was expecting. I didn't hate it, but I also didn't like it. So now I'm going to start Heir of Fire since I know that will be good for sure.


message 14082: by Teresa (new)

Teresa OMG Catherine. Heir of Fire was soooo good. You'll have a major book hangover after that one. Luckily I think the next book comes out in a few months

I honestly haven't read it(but should). My only experience is the first season, which I loved, and the game that I was shockingly great at haha.

Tommy Hancock (tommyhancock) | 957 comments Finished More Than This by Patrick Ness today. Very slow start, but also a very strong finish. It's a book I recommend everyone consider reading at least once.

Up next, I Am Number Four (Lorien Legacies, #1) by Pittacus Lore

You should check out the manga if you get a chance. It's a really great story. I liked the first manga series best along with the Millennium World series. Season 0 is my preferred one.

And that's awesome about the game. XD I started playing it again online, used to go to the local cardshop to play it a few years back.
