SOS: Serious Overload of Series discussion

That's good to know!

Hope you enjoy Ward's Fallen Angels, CyberAlmu. I like them. The writing is somewhat similar to her BDB series, and like someone else mentioned, it's set in the same area. The baddie in this series is wicked. Love it.

Making my way through that one and will start another on my Kindle, maybe Drake's Asylum Tales or another new2me series. May continue on with Masters' Rescue Me series. Not sure yet.

I'm definitely planning to read Crane's Mr. Real!

Thanks Steph!

Finished reading and started . Love the BDB series and I'm happy they're in the group challenge!

Also started and liking it!

I loved that trilogy so much and I cried so hard after the very last page, I think I'd been saving up my tears.

Ames, I had a few tears flowing myself. Have you continued on with the series? I know future books are about different characters, so I just wanted to know if the stories are still as captivating?

Just finished Matched - I won't be reading anymore of that series. Sooooooo depressing.

Oh -- tears? Wow. I need to bump that one up.

I didn't continue. I've always meant to but I think I was happy with the way it ended.

Yes, Regina, bump it up!

Yes Ames, it was a very fitting ending for the trilogy!

I've finished in pretty much one sitting and loved it!

Just started and it seems beautiful and heartbreaking so far.

I've started and Gwen is in trouble from the beginning :)

Kerstin 2 completely different type of books but both fantastic! I loved both. :)

So glad you enjoyed Mr. Real.

Finished and a re-listen.

Reading and for a buddy read.

Listening to audio next then which is currently discounted on iTunes. Must be a pre-movie promo thingie...

No worries Alyssa ;)

Glad you liked them Gin, I really enjoyed the trilogy.

That's good to hear Lis. There is nothing worse than the following books not standing up to the first.

The best books I've read this month are and . I recommend those whole-heartedly.

I'm now reading and so far, so good!

I loved sooo much....

LOL Sandra! No surprise there. ;)

I'm finding I have little time to read with all the RL crap going on, so I'm still slowly making my way through . I read the two prequels and enjoyed them enough to jump into book #1 right after. Interesting, just wish I could read more than a page at a time without RL-interruptions.

Me too Steph (re real life). And it sucks! I want to be able to read more!

I just finished and it is amazing particularly the appendices. The author never finished her book as she was sent to a concentration camp in WW2 and there are letters in the back which document her husband's search for her.

I am now reading and

Maybe I should look into the Alexa O'Brien, Huntress if you say the two prequels are good. On to some light reading. , Kresley Cole never fail to delight me.

Yep, I've got the prequels & #1 in Alexa O'Brien as well. So looks like I should read them. LOL.

Finished and reviewed the brilliant . And now NG has approved so I guess I'm on a feminist streak. It's exhausting reading and reviewing non-fic. I think I need some fictional fluff to balance it out.

Ames, I knew you'd enjoyed the first couple, but yes!! you need to read something relatively light & fluffy!!!

Val hall shadows claim was a great read

Great review for the Purity Myth. I had issues with the style it was presented in. I have long wanted to write the book that the Purity Myth presents, I am glad that Valenti did so, b/c she got me off the hook, lol.

For a challenge I am starting the audio of

I am reading and damn it is good. But I forgot so much.

LOL. Thanks, Regina. The masculinity chapter was something I'm glad she highlighted. We get all this talk about women and little on the state of men.

Currently reading: It's fun so far, which is exactly what I need.

Finished and I'm part way through . I'm looking forward to seeing the movie.

Is the book good? I keep seeing the previews and wonder if I should read the book. The only problem is that i don't really like YA that much.

I bought that yesterday - but I'm a little bit frightened, I don't do zombies.

The only ones I have read were the Forest of Hands and Teeth books (but I don't really count those as Zombie books).

It depends on whether you can enjoy the funny without questioning the logic. It's less Walking Dead and more Shaun of the Dead. It's also a Romeo & Juliet retelling. And the author got into it about the YA classification, he thinks it's an adult book. You could split the diff. and can call it New Adult because the couple are in their late teens, early twenties.

Thanks Amy. For right now, I'm reading .

Oooh! That's a good one. :)

I am excited to start #2 in the October Daye series. I feel like I have a lot to look forward to.

Alyssa, it was 5 stars for me and I'm not big on YA but this series just keeps hitting all the right notes.

Action aplenty, mean girls & boys, and whilst the gang is all around, this one seems to be more Gwen with a side order of Logan. And plenty of Reaper action as well.

Finished

Currently Listening to and reading

Finished Justice (Species4) Rhisnis my favorite of the series so far, starting book 5 Brawn.

I enjoyed Warm Bodies. Different and funny. Looking forward to the movie.

I enjoyed the Alexa prequels, but I gotta say Alexa is starting to bug me in . She's one of those women who gets what she wants then constantly moans about it. Bleh. Making it really hard for me to be excited about reading it when I do actually have the time to read. Frustrating! Aside from Alexa though, I'm LOVING the world and the other characters. It's just that the story is about her, so there's not enough of the other. What started as a possible 5★-read is slowly losing stars as I get closer to the end.

LOL.

I've started and the writing is good, but a creepy serial kidnapper/murderer type story .... is scary!!!!

>;)

Cool! I think I have that one and the second one too maybe.

I've got #2 on wishlist, thought I better read #1 first before splashing out, unlike the usual :)

:) Hope you like it!

Finished whilst it was well written, it just wasn't for me.

And started my re-read of so I can read

I didn't like it either Sandra. I think I DNFed it.

It was a bit too gritty & real for me :)
