Finished Ask The Passengers by A.S. King and it was just okay. It would have been better, but the author used this stupid gimmick that I didn't like.

Next up is Dare You To (Pushing the Limits, #2) by Katie McGarry for a buddy read, and then I think I'll get to The 5th Wave (The Fifth Wave, #1) by Rick Yancey (finally!)

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.

Harold is doing another of his famous contests to pick the best YA protaganist! It's so much fun! It's in another of our groups, so everyone go join in! The more that join in makes it so fun and interesting!

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!

Tracy | 823 comments I am listening to Nightshade (Nightshade, #1) by Andrea Cremer 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 Dark Lover (Black Dagger Brotherhood, #1) by J.R. Ward 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.

Andrea Murray (andreamurray) | 54 comments I just read Shadow and Bone (The Grisha, #1) by Leigh Bardugo . Fantastic novel! I finished it in one day. It's hardcore fantasy, though--lots of backstory.

One of my students convinced my to read City of Bones, and I read more or less to stop him from asking me! But I loved it!

I really enjoyed the first 8 or so Black Dagger books but then they got repetitive so I gave up. Not something I would normally read had it not been for Goodreads!

That's good to hear Jenny because it has been dragging for me. I will finish though since everyone is saying it gets better.

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 The Moon Dwellers (The Dwellers, #1) by David Estes 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!

I'm reading this one right now! And I really like it. :)

It is! It's so long, but it got my attention from the very beginning. I'm hoping to finish it this weekend. :)


message 3436: by Gwennie (new)

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!

Hazel West | 70 comments Right now I'm reading The Glister Journals Bronze by B.B. Shepherd 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


message 3441: by Gwennie (new)

Gwennie (blessedwannab) 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.)


message 3442: by Heidi (new)

Jenny (juliababyjen) | 12932 comments Mod
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 Dare You To (Pushing the Limits, #2) by Katie McGarry and loved it--not quite as much as Pushing the Limits, but still a good read! I'm really looking forward to Crash into You (Pushing the Limits, #3) by Katie McGarry which will be Isaiah's story--if anyone needs a HEA, its him!

Started reading The 5th Wave (The Fifth Wave, #1) by Rick Yancey 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 Rouge (Volume 1) by Leigh Talbert Moore --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!

Finished Rouge (Volume 1) by Leigh Talbert Moore and it was so good, my favorite book so far from this author!


message 3449: by Heidi (new)

Heidi | 2372 comments 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!

Heidi | 2372 comments I need to try this Pushing the Limits Jenny. Seems popular here.
