Currently reading Lover Revealed! So excited! This series is sooo good. I'm just flying through the series and my challenge.

Made it through Lover Revealed & Lover Unbound. Now on to Lover Unshrined.

Okay since 3/20 I have read:

How was Firespell?

it was actually kinda slow. Im going to keep reading the series since I love the Chicagoland Vampire series.

Thanks for letting me know. I can only get into the Vampire Academy. There's really been no other vampire series I've been able to get into.

Im hooked on vampire series. Its kinda my thing.

I thought it was really good. The concept wasn't something I was really looking forward to, but it was suprisingly good.

Finished

I was at Comic Con this weekend and bought and read the first 20 Season 8 Comics of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and 1-6 of Fray comic books as well.

Today I started

Now I'm reading:


in Ebook form.

Clearly I'm just hoping around books right now. =)

Can you let me know if Alice is any good? I tried reading it a while back but stopped. I don't usually read classics so that's probably why :P

I ususally don't either. I'm almost done and it's very...strange. Apparently Lewis Carroll was on some type of drug when he wrote it, which would explain the madness.
I'm pretty much reading it cause it was a free ebook on my phone and I don't need wifi to read it, which works cause I'm usually in the subway. Hahaha.
To me, it's really a book that you should probably read while on something, or because you have nothing else to read. It's madness.

Oh wow lol. Did you end up at least giving it three stars?

Sadly I did not. I gave it one. I can't really enjoy a book that I can't really follow. Though it was would be amusing to some, for me it was just annoying. I only read it through because it fit some challenges I am currently doing. If not, I would have stopped reading it altogether. Just glad I didn't pay for it. =/

I think someone on here had the audio book of it and loved it. You might want to try that sometime if you ever want to give it another shot. I wouldn't blame you if you didn't...

Right now, the only way I would give the book another shot would be in someone offered me mushrums to go along with it. SMH. But thanks for the offer.

What are you currently reading?

lol. Bad Taste in Boys for some unknown reason. It's aggravating me. The MC is trying to react to their being zombies around but it's too overly dramatized. Thanks for the friend invite!

That sounds kinda werid. let me know what you think. Always looking for reccommendations. Thanks for accepting. :-)

Didn't like it much... I guess zombie books aren't really my thing. I do recommend A Little Wanting Song. It's one of my favorites and I love recommending it because it is just so amazing :D

So I looked up A Little Wanting Song and I've added it to my Want to Read list. I'm taking your word for it!

Have you read ? I'm wondering if it's any good and you seem to love vampire books (I do too!) or maybe it's just that one great series.

No I have not read it. What's it about??
