David and I did a buddy read together for it a few months ago, and we both LOVED it! And he's not a big contemporary fan. The characters are just amazing!

Blood Red Road is amazing! I would recommend The Corner of Bitter and Sweet it's enjoyable so far.

It was SO good!

I just finished The Body Finder (The Body Finder, #1) by Kimberly Derting , and it was pretty good. I started Unremembered (Unremembered, #1) by Jessica Brody while waiting for the train the other day, so I'm going to finish that before moving on to Desires of the Dead (The Body Finder, #2) by Kimberly Derting

Inferno finally pulled me in, David! I just needed to spend some quality uninterrupted time reading it! So, yes, it's really good! Lots of history, and edge of your seat action! Now I need to go to Florence to see all the artwork and buildings he describes! ;-)

This was my least favorite book..but it's a big set up for a huge twist that happens at the end.

I have a feeling that it has to do with why Ethan is changing so much throughout this book. I just don't think its necessary that this book needs to be 500 pages long...

I agree, Stephanie! If you can just get through it...the final book is amazing!

I now understand how people who gave up after the first two books feel! But I'm going to push through I have about 200 pages left. I will decide if i will finish out the series when I finish =)

I finished Pure a week or two ago and am now listening to Fuse (Pure, #2) by Julianna Baggott . I think the narrators are outstanding so really enjoying this series. I'm so slow with audiobooks so you may catch up with me if you continue on to Fuse. ;-D

Yep I'll probably move onto Fuse in the next couple of days. Pure is really intense - I find I have to pay a lot more attention than normal, it's so chock full of details. How are you doing on Unbreakable? I thought it was SO good!

Lola (lolasreviews) | 563 comments I just finished reading Losing Francesca by J.A. Huss and I loved it. It's a sweet romance story and I could really feel the emotions of the characters.

Jen (jenwesner) | 1222 comments I'm almost halfway through Pure (Pure, #1) by Julianna Baggott and I gotta tell ya, this book is creeping me out! I keep reading reviews of how it's so great and there's all this incredible world building, etc - mainly I'm just grossed out by the creatures and destruction. Not sure I want to stick with it - but I'm going to try

Jennifer Madero (Boricuan Bookworms) I started yesterday to read I've Got Your Number by Sophie Kinsella and it's really funny so far! :D It's my second attempt to read a romance novel for adults rather than my comfort zone of Young Adults xD

I've Got Your Number is HILARIOUS! If you like it, you need to read her book Can You Keep a Secret? by Sophie Kinsella . LOL funny!

Jen, I almost stopped after the descriptions of the "groupies". Once the author gets the really grotesque stuff out of the way, it calms down a lot and the focus goes back to the characters. The author throws in a new creature now and then to see if we're paying attention, but eventually, it all seems "normal", if that's possible. By the second book, you don't even really notice the creatures. And right now, my favorite character is Helmet (in book 2).

It was so, so good! :) The Faerie Guardian is pretty good too. I'm a 1/4 of the way through, and I really like it.

Absolutely LOVED I've got your number - it was excellent on audiobook btw. I tried a few of her other books after that but did not love them. I did not read the book Jenny mentioned though so perhaps I should give that one a try.

Jen (jenwesner) | 1222 comments Just started Black City (Black City, #1) by Elizabeth Richards IN PRINT! Jenny and Karen, don't fall over from shock. I got it for cheap and just thought I'd use my eyes for a book rather than my ears! Lol! It's pretty good so far - I think we all get spoiled from exceptional writing, and this is ok but not mind-blowing. Story is good, though --
