Gabby I'm over half way through Clockwork Princess (The Infernal Devices, #3) by Cassandra Clare and...I must say i'm disappointed :( I loved all of her other books, but I was just so tempted to stop and read the last page, I almost didn't even care :/

Bethany | 171 comments I have the flu- which totally sucks. But, it means I'm stuck in bed and have an excuse to be so. Which works out really well for me because the day I have been waiting for is FINALLY here...
Quintana of Charyn (Lumatere Chronicles, #3) by Melina Marchetta
Oh, Quintana...how I've longed for you...

So, minus the puking....BEST DAY EVER! :)

Bee (justabluebee) Re-reading Daughter of Smoke & Bone (Daughter of Smoke & Bone, #1) by Laini Taylor so that I can write a full review and I can read Days of Blood & Starlight (Daughter of Smoke and Bone, #2) by Laini Taylor

After that it's back to my ARC/R2R pile. ^^

I pre-ordered that one. I love Kelley's writing style! I hope it's good.

I finished Panic by Sharon M. Draper last night, and it was just okay for me. It was a pretty gruesome tale, but at the same time, the author made it kind of light? So it just didn't quite work for me, although I couldn't put it down just to see what would happen! So I gave it 3 stars just for that fact!

Also read Double Crossed A Spies and Thieves Story (Gallagher Girls, #5.5; Heist Society, #2.5) by Ally Carter which is a short novella that combines the main characters in both Ally Carter's series--The Gallagher Girls and The Heist Society. I have never read the Gallagher Girls, but this little story was very entertaining! It was free on B&N awhile ago when I got it!

Next up is the third and newest book in the Heist Society Perfect Scoundrels (Heist Society, #3) by Ally Carter !

Jenny I liked her other book Leaving Paradise Leaving Paradise (Leaving Paradise, #1) by Simone Elkeles more but IMO she is not the best writer on the planet.

Currently on book 3. I'm glad this series is complete so I don't have to wait! lol

I'm up for the next buddy read, gang, so let me know what you're thinking. Are we ready for Fragments (Partials, #2) by Dan Wells yet, David?


message 2672: by Lola (new)

Lola (lolasreviews) | 563 comments I am afraid my copy of Fragments got lost in the mail :(. I am mailing with The Bookdepository and I hope they will send me a new copy, but then it could take another 1-3 weeks before my copy arrives. So you can start the Fragments budy read without me.

Have you been reading the novellas? They're #s 0.5, 4.5, and 5.5. Not hugely important, but they are referred to in following books. Book 3 is where I really thought it got good! You're so lucky it's completed! I had to wait for the last book.

I just finished The Other Fish in the Sea (Grab Your Pole, #2) by Jenn Cooksey at 1:30ish this morning, so if I can stay away, I'll be starting The Eternity Cure (Blood of Eden, #2) by Julie Kagawa today.

I just read A Day in the Afterlife of Tod and nearly died laughing. I didn't catch My Soul to Lose (Soul Screamers, #0.5) by Rachel Vincent yet, but I'm planning on 3.5 and 4.5. I'll probably catch 0.5 at some point in there.

I love this series. Not the subject matter, but the characters and dialogue. So entertaining and funny.

I actually read 0.5 before anything else, and it was kind of blah. I think I'd recommend reading it before, hmmm, I can't remember which book. lol Either 5 or 6, I think.

Aww thanks! You know what I hate? How GRs consistently fails to send me emails when new posts are added to threads I'm following! That must've happened with your group Heidi, because I definitely follow the What are you reading thread and I haven't received any emails. Annoying! I'm in so many groups that the emails are the only way I can manage it and keep up. I'll go in today and re-establish the link because I love your group!!!
