I am. Although, not quite as much as I enjoyed the original seven books."

Nothing can compare to the original books! I miss Rowling's writing so much, but was really happy to have the storyline. I really want to see the play!

Absolutely! It was great to have the storyline, and seeing the play would be awesome!

Nearly done Nil and I like it. I find the romance to be getting a bit excessive though.
Also seeing some really big parallels to the Maze Runner in relation to the mystery part of it, if anyone knows what I mean.

Lol good to know! Excessive romance means I'll skip it :)

I finished ACOMAF at 6 this morning and now I don't think I can read another book for a long time.

it. destroyed. me.

Just finished Strings on audiobook and it was my favorite David Estes book yet! I really enjoyed it.

I completely agree... Strings is awesome!

I finished reading and by the end, I really liked it! It didn't start off the best for me....it just felt too MODERN for historical fiction, and didn't seem authentic at first. It was odd since it was Libba Bray, she usually nails that, but she did say that she took a lot of liberties with it. After I got past that, I really enjoyed the story, it was a good creepy mystery with a lot of fun magic elements!

Started and almost finished which is a nice quick read! I'm actually enjoying this one a lot more than the second in the series.

Not sure what I'm reading after that...either or rereading

Just finished Nil, and that second half definitely got on my nerves.
The romance completely took over the story, instead of the mystery surrounding the island ,which I wanted answers to (answers I didn't get).
The ending was pretty unrealistic, very rushed, and REEKED of cheese.
Overall, it wasn't a bad read, but I do feel like it fell apart in the second half. Wondering if I should read the sequel now.

That's interesting Jenny, I thought Game of Lives was the weakest in the series. But glad you're liking it. I don't know why, but to me, both Dashner series seem to get progressively worse as they go along.

I def don't like it as much as I liked the first one...at least so far. But I am enjoying it! A lot of it I'm just kind of going with it, whether its believable or not!

I started my reread of (on audio this time) to be refreshed for when releases on the 30th. :)

I read the first 2 books at the beach while on vacation so, for me, they were perfect beach reads. I don't mind the cheese at those times! ;)

Sure thing David. Thank you again for the audiobook of it. I will get my Amazon and Audible reviews up this weekend. It was a very unique and interesting story and I really enjoyed it!

I'm reading the confessions of a murder suspect series by James Patterson. Just started book 4 "the murder of an angel" anyone else ever read the series?

Finished Throne of Glass, still love it! Started Ivory and Bone, but didn't like the POV so I switched to Death Sworn and not sure if I'm feeling it but I'll stick with it and see.

Finished , still working on on audio. Also about to finish up an ARC and then moving on to a beta-read of the ARC's sequel. :)

I need to pick back up. It's taking me forever to read. I like it, but just not enamored with it. I keep getting distracted by other books.

Totally worth the read! I just finished it, it was so good! It kind of made me think of a Romeo and Juliet type of story, but with a PA world where monsters have taken over, and not a lot of romance, more of a deep friendship really. Loved it! Brutal and amazing!

About to finish with Glittering Court :)

Wow! Another tie! Looks like and both won for September's BotM! :)

Thanks for the update Jenny!

Gave up on Death Sworn, it was not the best thing in the world. Picked up Queen of Shadows from the library.
