Haha I haven't noticed! But then again I say it way too much. :D

Donna wrote: "I decided to join Rose & Harlee and read "

Yay! So excited!!!! Glad you are joining us!!

I'm currently buddy reading with @Harlee and @Donna and my IG friend Brooke! I have just reached Chapter 4 and its pretty good so far!

I'm also still reading , which is also very good!! It initially took me a while to get into this book and I actually put it down for a week and then picked it back up and am now enjoying it! I'm such a mood reader!

David wrote: "Side note: do I say "awesome" a lot? :P"

Yeah, you say it a lot. But no worries... Awesome is an awesome word. ;)

David I say awesome and use !!!!!! more on here that I ever do in real life. I have to appropriately portray how excited I am!!!

Well said, Heidi. There's so much negativity in the world that being positive (and saying awesome all the time) is a good thing! :)

Ditto that Heidi!!!!!!!!!! :P

I'm starting The Edge of Never this morning :)

I've finnished both Pathfinder Legends - Mummy's Mask, Chapter 4: Secrets of the Sphinx and Stars Above. After that, I read The Kitchen Imps and Other Dark Tales. Now I'm reading Blithering Genius.

I finished there Raven boys and am starting the dream thieves. I want to be all caught up when the last book comes out

Yay!! I hope to start re-reading The Dream Thieves within the next couple days. :)

Just finished:



Really liked it! Cool world-building and characters, and it was very addicting and suspenseful. I look forward to reading the sequel.

And now I'm starting:



I don't know why it's taken me so long to get around to reading this! Hopefully it's just as awesome as the first two books. :)

The Wrath and the Dawn

Just finished reading Reddened Wasteland by Kyle Perkins yesterday and have started reading The Company Store by H. D. Gordon

Just finished
It took me a long time to get into it (nearly 100 pages), and I nearly gave up, but both Wendi and David encouraged me to keep going. And I'm so glad that I did.
There came a moment in the book where the action picked up--and it never stopped. I liked this one way more than the first.
So many twists--and a huge reveal. Can't wait to get my hands on

@Brigid - the sequel, A Gathering of Shadows, is so amazing! I absolutely loved ADSOM and I was mostly just hoping the sequel would be nearly as good and Schwab blew me away with AGOS. Honestly, I like it even more than the first and that's saying something! I can't wait for you to read it!

just finished and it was amazing, loved it, but the cliff at the end made me want to strangle somebody

Whoa, I'm glad to hear that!! I requested it from the library and hopefully I will get it soon. :D

read earlier and just starting

I started Song of the Lioness 3 because who doesn't like Tamora Pierce

Im currently reading "great expectations" by Charles dickens. love the story, but the writing sure is hard to understand. It's almost like watching a foreign film without any subtitles.

I love that book! But I get what you mean––the writing can be dense/confusing at times. I think part of the problem is that at the time he wrote it, Dickens was paid by the word ... so there's quite a bit of padding in the writing, haha. :P The story/characters are great, though.

Lol. Ugh paid by the word is the worst. I love Pip & joe so far though. :D

Yay! Be prepared to read the 4th Unwind book immediately after this one as it ends at the most random place because the author originally planned to only have three books. THe 3rd and the 4th books, when taken together, are EPIC. SO GOOD.

Yay! This makes me smile :) WE should read Morningstar together if we can both get a copy of the book!

I'm actually only a few chapters in (just haven't had time) so I'll wait and read it with you guys! :)

Great!!! I tried to start it the night I finished Golden Son, but I couldn't keep my eyes open and managed to read just the first page.

Putting on hold until David and Elora start it... ;)

Still reading and about to finish

Starting my eARC of this weekend!!! I can't believe I got my hands on this!! Sooooo excited to finish this series! :D

Will also start ! :)

I am reading . I'm still reading -I put it down before to read all 10 of the Shadowhunter Academy books and I'm glad I did. They were great novellas and definitely add to the series. :)

I'm currently reading "Homage to Catalonia". I'll be satisfied if it is half as good as "1984" . I like Orwell's style of writing.

Starting in on !

Reading and reviewing THE SCATTERED AND THE DEAD for author Tim McBain. It is very well written and I am liking the story. It does have some language but is appropriate for the characters and situations.

Yeah I've heard book 3 is basically a stepping stone to get to book 4, lol. And so far it kinda feels that way. But I'm excited to read the fourth one, I've heard it's amazing! :)

Aww yes, love the relationship between Pip and Joe! Joe is so sweet. :)

I really hope you like Tiger Lily, I haven't read that one, but the author writes fantastic!

AWESOME! I'll set up a buddy read thread for us :)

I've finnished Blithering Genius, and am now reading The Pale Horseman.

I finished love it.

planning on starting

Finished:



It was not my favorite of the series so far, but I still really enjoyed it. Looking forward to reading book 4 and finally completing the series! :)

This weekend I plan to re-read:



Not sure if I'll get to both, but I'm going on a bit of a road trip with my family––so I'm hoping to finish at least one of them. :P

Unsouled was my least favorite of all 4. I loved Undivided!
