I wish I could join you today but I have to work all afternoon and evening. Please if you get a chance post and let me know how it is going and happy reading


message 8: by Sara (new)

Sara | 860 comments Thank you. It's going well so far. I've read The Lightning Thief, The Blinding Knife, and A Rush of Wings. My sister came over in the afternoon and it's a gorgeous day so we went walking. She also brought my 5 month old nephew over and his "adorable cuteness" as my nieces put it distracted me from my reading schedule. I cut down my reading times for Witchling and Omens down to 30 minutes each in order to get back on schedule. Now I'm onto Autumn Bones.

Which book do you like the best? And the least?


message 10: by Sara (new)

Sara | 860 comments Dead Witch Walking, Iron Kissed, and The Lightning Thief are all re-reads and are from some of my favorite series.

Autumn Bones is the second book in the Agent of Hel series and I am loving it so far - Lurene is such fun character.

The Blinding Knife is the sequel to The Black Prism. I strongly recommend this series if you like fantasy.

Omens and A Rush of Wings have intriguing starts.

By process of elimination, that would leave Witchling as the least interesting. It has potential so I'll see how it plays out.

Ellen (ellenann) | 46 comments Just got home from work and I am off tomorrow so I am doing another late night reading.
Started 545pm- 12:03 am. (6hrs 9 mins)
Reading : Warrior Rise Warrior's Rise (Warriors For Light, #1) by L.J. DeLeon . 320 pages
I am 89% done and calling it a night.


message 13: by Mike (new)

Mike | 353 comments Read 9 hours last night with the fall back of day light savings. Reading 8 hours tonight and 8 hours tomorrow. I'm not dividing my reading by hours but by chapters and interest.
Splitting my time between Doctor Sleep (The Shining, #2) by Stephen King , Grim Tides (Marla Mason, #6) by Tim Pratt , The Way of Kings (The Stormlight Archive, #1) by Brandon Sanderson , and The Dead Man Vol 1 (Face of Evil, Ring of Knives, Heaven In Hell) 1-3 (Dead Man Series)  by Lee Goldberg . Finished The Dead Man and really enjoyed. I plan on getting Grim Tides and Doctor Sleep done by tomorrow.


message 14: by Mike (new)

Mike | 353 comments Finished Grim Tides right at the end. It was great and set up for the new book that comes out this month. I love Marla Mason.


message 15: by Mike (new)

Mike | 353 comments Finished Doctor Sleep and I'm close to finishing Abducted (The Lizzy Gardner Series, #1) by T.R. Ragan . In my opinion Doctor Sleep was great. The parallels that King makes between The Shining and this book were dead on.


message 16: by Mike (new)

Mike | 353 comments Last update. Finished Abducted, it had so high points but it had some real low points as well. The highlights outweighed the low so I will probably read the second book in the series. Didn't finish Way of the Kings but that one is a monster. Over 1200 pages, but highly entertaining and original.


message 17: by Dawn, Desperately seeking new worlds (new)

Dawn (dawnv) | 4058 comments 1200 pages feels like a few books LOL
