I'm at a track meet and hating my life lol!

Since it's on the previous page, I'll ask again in case you missed it--what percentage are y'all at??

I'm only at 27%

make that 51%. really enjoying this! just finished chapter 18. (view spoiler)[Lark has agreed to be queen and Boojahni told her that the king is a fine bit 'o man flesh lol (hide spoiler)]

LOL, you're moving on now! I'm getting ready to read a little before bed. Haven't read much today, but I'll prob finish in the morning since I'm at 70%.

I thought the next book was coming out really soon--didn't realize we have to wait 3 whole weeks!!

I only made it to 59% and (view spoiler)[they have married atnd he was almost a no show, but he keeps disappearing...arggggh (hide spoiler)] I didn't get a chance to read much during my daytime hours yesterday, then had a client dinner, and I may or may not have had a few too many grapefruit gin and tonics and was in no shape to read after I finally got home at 9:30 last night. I don't see much reading time in my day today since the client is still in town and we will be having mega-boring meetings all damn day, but hopefully I can get some good quality reading in tonight. I soooo don't want to put this book down, it's that good!!!

I'm so happy you guys are loving this book! Huggles!

I'm at 78% and I can't stop! I just know what has to happen (or, at least, it's being set up to happen) and I SO don't want it to!--(view spoiler)[Tiras is obviously going to become an eagle unless there's some way Lark can fix it, and they love each other so much that it's breaking my heart! (hide spoiler)]

Oh Nay....that's exactly what I fear is happening too. And that is just freaking tragic and I'll throw my Kindle and stomp my feet at the unfairness.

60% and my lunch break is over! shit!

67% and back to the grind for me too!!!

75% (view spoiler)[this is so unfair Why does Tiras have to change and leave her. I am so very sad. I suspect though, from the conversation with the old woman, that he can control this. She implied that changing is a choice. I just feel bereft right now (hide spoiler)]

just got into my car to wait for my daughter... have a 25 minute wait, was going to catch up various places... but I really want to click Lisa's spoiler tag, so I'm just gonna read instead!

Yeah, Lisa, I'm confused about that. There is something we don't know...yet. At least I hope there is!

I just got back from cardiac rehab, so I'm reading again. I'm at 80%.

69% gah!

88% O-M-F-G!!!!

89% OMG--I can't take it! *clapping with glee* (yes, I said 'glee', because that the only way to describe it!) Major spoiler here:
(view spoiler)[Tiras is alive!!!! Now he just has to figure out how to control his changes and stay with Lark and the babe! (hide spoiler)]

Oh and I forgot to say at 86% (view spoiler)[Lady Firi is a skanky BITCH (hide spoiler)] and I can't believe at 87% that (view spoiler)[Zoltev is alive! And has been controlling the bird men! UGH!! (hide spoiler)]

94% (view spoiler)[More MAJOR glee clapping!!!! (hide spoiler)]

Where are my peeps?!!!

stuck at 69%... dang kids....

lol that's what slowed me down for 2 hours too!

Finished! So, SO good!!!

Just finished also...I am in awe!!

go ahead start talking, i won't come back til I'm done, LOL!

(view spoiler)[I absolutely loved that Lark was the one who gave Tiras the word that gave him the gift of flight, but also cursed him with inability to easily go back to his human form. (hide spoiler)] This story was downright masterful!

Me too, Lisa!

*sigh! Happy tears*

I am SO happily surprised that it was so easy to follow. I was like you, Lisa--concerned that the fantasy would be so fantastical, with a ton of weird names and cryptic stuff thrown in that I couldn't keep up or I'd have to keep going back in my reading to try to figure out what she was trying to hint at.

Of course, there was some mystery to it, but I thought it was just enough to keep it interesting and give the reader those satisfying ah-ha! moments toward the end.

Are you done, Ela...or are those premature happy tears. I know I choked up a few times, just at the beauty of it all!!!

This is my second Amy Harmon book...both not in my typical genre, and both were incredible stories that I loved!! So, I'm gonna go with...she's just a fantastic author, and I'd read her shopping list if she published it. I have a few more of hers queued up, that I need to make it a point to get to!!

Oh I was done....just made me happy to see you all's reactions!

I read:
Making Faces
The Law of Moses (The Law of Moses, #1)
A Different Blue

All five star reads!

I'm pretty sure this is the only book of hers that I've read. Doesn't she mainly write YA? If so, that's probably why.

Personally I think her books are more mature than YA.

From Sand & Ash was hers....that's the other one I read. Again, another genre (historical romance/saga) that I don't typically read. And I think the others might be more NA rather than YA...and from the ones I've captured on my TBR, they seem more "saga" type books....like read this blurb from Making Faces: Making Faces is the story of a small town where five young men go off to war, and only one comes back. It is the story of loss. Collective loss, individual loss, loss of beauty, loss of life, loss of identity. It is the tale of one girl's love for a broken boy, and a wounded warrior's love for an unremarkable girl. This is a story of friendship that overcomes heartache, heroism that defies the common definitions, and a modern tale of Beauty and the Beast where we discover that there is little beauty and a little beast in all of us.

Stop,Lisa! I'll cry all over again! Although it has a hea!

Omg--that's sounds awesome! I have that book, so why haven't I read it yet??? I also have A Different Blue and The Law of Moses, but I guess when I've gone back and considered reading them, I've seen how many people have shelved them as YA, and it's put me off.

That's why you have US!

finally finished! thank you all for buddy reading with me!!! you guys are awesome!

YES WE ARE! I even re-read, now that's devotion...lol
