I did like it(about to write my review). There was a decent story, a good mix of characters...it kept me interested.
Mod
that starts on Wednesday. I know Heidi and Karen are listening to the audiobook. I have read this series before, and they are amazing books, so I am just doing a reread, probably fairly slowly. Anyone is welcome to join in!David, I know you've been having "issues" with books lately. I know you would like this book! ;)

Oh whoops! I haven't read Article 5 yet. We DO have to find you some books to get you out of the book slump you're in. Hhhhmm... I haven't been overly excited about a book since we read Plague. Not a bad book slump like you've had, but not anything that's made my heart pound. Oh wait, I take that back. I'm rereading The Knife of Never Letting Go so I guess my not so bad book slump ended but I already knew I loved it, so does that count?? hahahhahah...
I'm now reading Vampire Origins: Project Ichorus by Riley Banks......so far so good!
Mod
that starts on Wednesday. I know Heidi and Karen are listening to the audi..."Poor David! Well, hopefully we will like Wool, Karen really likes it so I am hopeful! What are you in the mood for reading?
Between you and Heidi lately, I don't know what to do with you guys! LOL Inkheart might be really good, though, because its completely different than any other book I've read. So maybe switching gears will help.

Have you not read this one, yet, Jenny? I can wait until you're ready and read it with you. I thought I was the only one who hadn't read this one. I got it as an elibrary book. But I can get it later.

Excited because i'm finally starting

I think I'm the only one who doesn't like Cassandra Clare lol
Mod
I started and finished
yesterday. It was pretty good. I know someone on Goodreads was asking in a thread if we had any suggestions on books that featured famous fictional people. I don't know if she was in this group or not, but this one does, and its pretty good! Not realistic, but a fun contemporary.Also read 212 pages of
and its really insane so far. I'm keep praying that there is a twist on a certain character, that they are not really dead. We will see!
Janie- I don't Cassandra Clare but I don't really like how she makes her characters. Like they're puppets that they do whatever Clare wants them to do instead of them doing it based on their own characters (if you get what I mean). Yeah, I especially dislike Jace. lol

I'm also not a huge fan of all the incest. :/

Is it okay to say that I don't think I'll like it? (I guess that's not very fair, but that's where I'm at) My experience in the past with people saying, "Ooh, you have to read this you'll love it" has been somewhat disappointing. So I figure if I keep the expectation level low...that's the way to go.
I've read TID and it was honestly so mediocre. I don't think it lived up to the hype. I'm hesitant to read TMI now because of my experience with TID.
Mod
I wasn't a massive fan of Cassandra Clare's The Mortal Instruments because I didn't like how she constantly changed the dynamics of the relationship between Clary and Jace, the incest thing was distrubing :( & I got fed up reading about their on/off relationship which were taking over the books. However I loved the concept of the Shadowhunter world, her other characters were fantastic & the story apart from Clary & Jace's relationship was thrilling & I had to keep reading.
Cassie's writing got better with each book & after reading the ending of TMI #4 I was loving her writing. The Infernal Devices for me is her best work, this series for me is perfection it had every thing I was looking for in TMI and more!
Not everyone likes the same things but that's why I love reviews because I love reading other peoples opinions & recommendations :D

I agree completely with Jen! Lots of people I know weren't thrilled with the first book, but the series gets so much better, and the end is mind blowing!
