I thought Grave Mercy was good. Not a favorite but kept me interested.

I really like it so far! Hopefully, though, it keeps my attention. It's a long book.

Seriously, the best book I've ever read. No kidding.

I've finished reading it now, I really enjoyed it! The review will be posted on my blog on Monday, http://a-reader-lives-a-thousand-live....
I thought that it was different from many other YA novels as it focused more heavily on character development, making way for a more action packed sequel I think!

It is long! It took me ahile to get into it but it definitely sucked me in about halfway through
I am listening to
and have yet to get into it. There are many 4 and 5 stars on this one but I'm not feeling it yet. I am almost finished reading
and this one is really good!

I loved Nightshade, I recently read it. It gets really good about halfway in, when she starts to question things more.

I just read
. Fantastic novel! I finished it in one day. It's hardcore fantasy, though--lots of backstory.

Not something I would normally read had it not been for Goodreads!

Heidi, SERIOUSLY!! This is going to be such an epic battle and I'm going to be fighting myself on who to pick as the best!
David, Jenny, Jen, everyone... You have to join in. Last one we did was villains and David's evil President Nailin from The Moon Dwellers
made it almost to the end!
I think Sauron from The Lord of the Rings won the entire thing after some awesome battles!

Go add your favorite MC's. You get six choices. Sooooo hard to just pick 6!

Wendy F wrote: "Yay! I really love that people say it's like a historical/fantasy fusion."It is! It's so long, but it got my attention from the very beginning. I'm hoping to finish it this weekend. :)
Sweet! I'll look out for your review!On another note, since I popped over to your profile to see if you DID review before I hit post on that, you're from Michigan! I'm just outside Ann Arbor!

Another Michigan native? So cool! I'm a little north of Grand Rapids. :)
Right now I'm reading
which, while not my normal kind of read, I'm enjoying very much. It's a good contemporary read for high school age girls (and horse lovers =)

Long historical fantasy - sounds like Outlander so Wendy will probably like it! hahahaha
LMAO, it does sound right up my alley doesn't it. Though Outlander was more historical less fantasy. (With the time-travel being only little snippets.)
I'm so happy, in another group Tracy mentioned that she is now loving Nightshade, I knew she would :) I think we are going to read the second book in the series together later in the week :)
Anyhoo, finished
and loved it--not quite as much as Pushing the Limits, but still a good read! I'm really looking forward to
which will be Isaiah's story--if anyone needs a HEA, its him!
Started reading
and its okay so far, but very depressing. I got 100 pages in and put it down until tomorrow. I'm already in enough of a funk as it is!
So I tried
--I have an eARC that's about to expire, and I love this author, and usually her books are pretty light--but not this book! Its almost more depressing, its very dark. But I can't put it down, I'm hooked!

Corner of Bitter & Sweet was sweet itself - I think I gave it 3 stars. Sherrie if you liked Unwind wait until UnWholly - intense doesn't even begin to describe it!
