Still trying to finish up with my buddy read of Hunger (Gone, #2) by Michael Grant Geesh, just couldn't get the time to read this week. I should finish it up tonight.

And then, finally, finally!, will spend the day tomorrow reading Water & Storm Country (The Country Saga, #3) by David Estes SQUEEEEEEE!!!

Mwahahahaaa!!! I have been waiting all week for a day of nothing so I can immerse myself back in David's world of the Country Saga with no interruptions or distractions!

I've heard that comment, which is why I didn't buy it, I checked it out from the library ;) But I have to read it. This series has gone on way too long and I'm starting to get tired of it, but I have to KNOW everything, all the backstory and how things will come out!

Finished Neferet's Curse (House of Night Novellas, #3) by P.C. Cast and I really liked it! Neferet was the character I was most interested to hear back story on, and it does explain a lot!

I just bought The 5th Wave (The Fifth Wave, #1) by Rick Yancey and I can't wait to start, but first I have to finish my current reads, which are...
Let the Sky Fall (Let the Sky Fall, #1) by Shannon Messenger and Starters (Starters and Enders, #1) by Lissa Price

I also did not love City of Lost Souls (The Mortal Instruments #5) by Cassandra Clare . I thought maybe it was because I listened on audio rather than read it and it was one of my first audios and the narrator wasn't that great. Also, I thought it was the end of the series and was really really annoyed when the book ended and I realized it was NOT the end. Ugh... So yea, I was pretty disappointed. I'm rereading again, as buddy reads and in print the next time to see if I like it any better this next go round.

Lol, I'm not surprised we agree! Although I knew it wasn't the end, I counted six times Clary commented how Jace smelled like soap. Really?

I finished Neferet's Curse (House of Night Novellas, #3) by P.C. Cast yesterday, and I really liked it! It gave us a lot of info on Neferet and now her character sort of makes sense.

Hoping to finish The Bane (The Eden Trilogy, #1) by Keary Taylor today, and my reread of The Iron King (The Iron Fey, #1) by Julie Kagawa

Lol I thought you'd like that! Overall I like her books but they are a little on the long side. I'm pretty tolerant, generally, but this one just about did me in!

I still haven't been able to finish Iron King Jenny. I guess it's good though since you are re-reading it. I need to try it again.

His next book comes out June 6th! Squee!

Finished my reread of The Iron King. I actually liked it much better the second time around, maybe because I know the characters better? Not sure, but I read through it pretty quick!

Almost done with The Bane, and I'm really liking it! There were a few small things I have issues with, but overall this is a good dystopian read. I'll let you know if I like the ending!

I LOVED the ending I was a little confused as to why there was no epilogue explaining what their life was like after the battle tho. I'm kinda hesitant to join a discussion because I know people are angry or frustrated about it and I don't understand why. I get very defensive about books that I like and I don't want other people opinions to ruin the book for me you know?...
