Jen (jenwesner) | 1222 comments Just finished Obsidian (Lux, #1) by Jennifer L. Armentrout . Hmmm. Gotta think about that one before I review it. I also got Ice Country (The Country Saga, #2) by David Estes ! I'm sure that one will be hard to put down : )

Yay Jen!! I read Ice Country in one setting! Only put it down if I absolutely had to but picked it back up as quick as possible. ;)

Lola (lolasreviews) | 563 comments I am currently reading With All My Soul (Soul Screamers, #7) by Rachel Vincent , so far it's good. It's amazing seeing how everyone adapts after what happened in the last book. Also some nice surprises already.

I need to get caught up on the Soul Screamers series! I've only gotten through #2!

Finished The Wish Stealers by Tracy Trivas and it was a really cute children's book! My daughter will love it! (Her class is reading it right now!)

About halfway through Ixeos (Ixeos Trilogy, #1) by Jennings Wright and its really good so far! It involves an Alternate planet Earth that has been taken over by creepy evil aliens that look just like us, and a group of rebels from our current planet that are trying to overthrow said aliens! Very gripping!

I'm on page 211. I don't know if you've read the original story at all (I just did), but I can't say that I'm entirely pleased with what this Author is doing with it. But maybe it gets better.

I did not read the original story. This book was definitely creepy, but I didn't love it. I have it 3 stars. The ending frustrated me!

I wiki'ed the original story, so I'm familiar with the concept, but I haven't actually read it. I'm only up to page 122, and so far, I'm not overly impressed.

I am about 75% of the way through Deadly Little Lessons (Touch, #5) by Laurie Faria Stolarz and will probably finish it tonight. LOVE this series, the books just keep getting better and better! This is #5, and I'm not sure if this is the last one or not.

Also read today Destroy Me (Shatter Me #1.5) by Tahereh Mafi which was worth the $3! I really good story that helps you get into Warner's head. I actually felt sorry for the guy, but I still don't like him! Juliette needs to stick with Adam!

Going to start reading Unravel Me (Shatter Me, #2) by Tahereh Mafi for my buddy read later tonight! Can't wait to devour this one!

Since I'll be away for the weekend, I may not be on here as much. I really just don't know, it all depends on how my Grandma is doing. If not, the next books I'm planning to read are Etiquette & Espionage (Finishing School, #1) by Gail Carriger Just One Day (Just One Day, #1) by Gayle Forman Dear Cassie by Lisa Burstein

I just finished The Madman's Daughter (The Madman's Daughter, #1) by Megan Shepherd and I wasn't impressed, either. 2-star rating, and that second star is only because there was one concept that I liked. But other than that . . . Meh.

Now reading: The Darkest Minds (The Darkest Minds, #1) by Alexandra Bracken Fearless by Cornelia Funke

I don't think I've even hit page 200 yet. There have been some scenes that I've really liked, but I'm not totally feeling it yet.

Re-Reading Shatter Me (Shatter Me, #1) by Tahereh Mafi , then on to Destroy Me (Shatter Me #1.5) by Tahereh Mafi and then Unravel Me (Shatter Me, #2) by Tahereh Mafi for our buddy read! Ditto what Jen said! Come join us! :-)


message 2425: by Lola (new)

Lola (lolasreviews) | 563 comments I am still reading With All My Soul (Soul Screamers, #7) by Rachel Vincent and now around halfway through. I didn't had that much time to read lately and I don't expect much to read today either. I am enjoying it so far, it's better than book 6.


message 2426: by DeAnna (new)

DeAnna (dee84812) | 671 comments Lolita, I thought books 4 and 5 were so good that book 6 really couldn't compare. I still gave it 4 stars. I think With All My Soul is really good, but I think If I Die was still my favorite.

Totally agree. I really liked the series and book 5 is my favourite book of the series and I didn't really like book 6. I am enjoying with all my soul, but so far I think If I die will stay my favourite book of the series.

I read it well listened to it and yeah it was pretty good. The story reminded me of Delirium but I thought the writing was a little better.

I had mixed feelings about it. It was ok. Maybe I was just in a deluge of YA dystopian romance. It had some good themes, but overall I wasn't that impressed.

Brooke (thecovercontessa) ARC The Rules (Project Paper Doll, #1) by Stacey Kade . So far it's good, although I'm not sure it will get more than 3 stars from me unless something spectacular happens. There are some inconsistencies that are bothering me.

I'm back from my weekend away! Grandma is getting worse by the hour, I don't think she will be with us much longer. But I was really glad to get to visit and say good-bye!

Finished Just One Day (Just One Day, #1) by Gayle Forman over the weekend and loved it, although not as much as If I stay or Where She Went. It ended on kind of a cliffhanger, so now I'm anxiously awaiting the sequel, Just One Year!

Still reading Unravel Me (Shatter Me, #2) by Tahereh Mafi and also starting Etiquette & Espionage (Finishing School, #1) by Gail Carriger which is due back to the library soon!

Thanks, David, it was an emotional wringer! Its really hard to watch someone die, but at the same time, I just want it to be over so she is at peace and no longer in pain. And also for my mom, she so can be at peace, too! This is wearing her out!
