Bee (justabluebee) After a few days of taking a break from reading with the funeral and all that going on, I'm starting again today. Going to finish reading The Immortal Rules (Blood of Eden, #1) by Julie Kagawa and after that I'm reading my ARC copy of The Prelude by KaSonndra Leigh finally!

Jen (jenwesner) | 1222 comments Just finished Unearthly (Unearthly, #1) by Cynthia Hand . It got me through a 12+ hour drive yesterday! Once I process it I'll review it (when I'm not so tired). First impressions - great story. Now working on Hallowed (Unearthly, #2) by Cynthia Hand . Hopefully I'll get to Boundless (Unearthly, #3) by Cynthia Hand by weekend's end.

Aww yeah true actually at first I hesitated but I thought it's my first fairy tale as an adult LOL so I bought it along with its 1st installment and some reviews got me intrigued too. :) But overall I agree that novellas especially as short like this should just be around 99cents.


Jeann (Happy Indulgence)  (happyindulgence) | 258 comments Just finished Legend (Legend, #1) by Marie Lu and now straight onto Prodigy (Legend, #2) by Marie Lu . Legend was excellent and I would rate it 4.5 stars. I like Marie Lu even more now after discovering she worked in video games and that she was inspired by the novel by Les Miserables :)

I read The Bad Beginning (A Series of Unfortunate Events, #1) by Lemony Snicket today, it was a cute little children's book!

Still reading Boundless (Unearthly, #3) by Cynthia Hand and its getting really good!

Started reading Strands of Bronze and Gold (Strands of Bronze and Gold, #1) by Jane Nickerson today--its a retelling of the Bluebeard fairy tale...getting creepy already and I'm only 28% in!

Reymart Dinglasa (ReymartwritesAbook) | 63 comments Hashtag Pow!!!
(Five books actually, for a week and a half.)

1. (Young Adult)
UnWholly (Unwind, #2) by Neal Shusterman
(Who else realize that this trilogy will become a film even though the third book is still on progress? DON'T READ A BOOK BECAUSE IT WILL BECOME A FILM! Read a book because you want to... I love Lev Calder, period!!)

2. (Adult/Mature Content)
Fifty Shades Freed (Fifty Shades, #3) by E.L. James
(Reading this book because I've read the other two like three months ago, I need a break from...that specific form of what? Enjoyment? Though many readers said they are poorly written, who cares? I love how straight forward and scientific in terms of anatomy it is...)

3. (Adult)
At the Mountains of Madness by H.P. Lovecraft
(H.P.Lovecraft. No words for this guy. Classic and deep stirring grammar. His massive spells on my Kindle!)

4. (Young Adult)
Ice Country (The Country Saga, #2) by David Estes
(Please, please. Come to me!! Fire is Burning, and I need this Ice to Cool my rising desires...what even...)

5. (Adult)
11/22/63 by Stephen King
(Man!! I probably can finish reading this two weeks tops!! Narrative is killing me. Only Stephen King...)

Gotcha :) All three books are pretty good if you like angel books. I'd say they're at the top of the list for good angel books :)

Sure theng! I love angel books, I mean, with the City of Bones as my first... I'll check them out. Is Hush hush any good?
