Vicki (goodreadscomboobooper49) | 31156 comments This week I thought it would be fun to focus on a series. I hope this theme is not too banal!

Options: Begin an entirely new series, continue a series, finish that one series you've been putting off (or that you desperately want to finish!)

Hi Trisha.

My daughter just finished this book last week and she said that it was probably the best one of the whole series. I'll be interested to see what you think.

Mandiann (goodreadscommandiann) | 6882 comments I will try to finish the Emily the Strange Novels Series as they are due back soon!!

Currently reading: Stranger and Stranger (Emily the Strange Novels, #2) by Rob Reger

To Read: Dark Times (Emily the Strange Novels, #3) by Rob Reger Piece of Mind (Emily the Strange Novels, #4) by Rob Reger

They are not too long and full of pictures so I think it shouldn't be a problem!!

message 20: by Mehsi (last edited Jun 16, 2014 11:40AM) (new)

Mehsi I picked continue a series, and I read: Tales from a Not-So-Glam TV Star (Dork Diaries, #7) by Rachel Renée Russell


message 21: by Vicki (new)

Vicki (goodreadscomboobooper49) | 31156 comments I don't know that series, Mehsi, but if you're on book #7 it must be good. :o)


message 22: by Mehsi (new)

Mehsi Yeah it is a fun series, though I have to say that book 7 wasn't that good. Mostly because a lot of elements stay the same (Brandon insecurities, family things, Mackenzie still being a mean girl) and that starts to get boring/annoying. I will probably check out book 8, and hope it will be better.


message 23: by Vicki (new)

Vicki (goodreadscomboobooper49) | 31156 comments Keeping my fingers crossed for you!


message 24: by Mehsi (new)

Mehsi Thanks. :)

Before Jamaica Lane is actually my favorite of the series, but I did like Fall From India Place too! Hope you like it! :D


message 27: by Kathy (new)

Kathy | 7669 comments I'm reading The Forever Song (Blood of Eden, #3) by Julie Kagawa the last book in the Blood of Eden trilogy! Can't wait to start! :D

message 30: by Katherine (new)

Katherine | 2740 comments I'm drowning in series right now, so this is the perfect challenge!! I'll be reading Cinder (The Lunar Chronicles, #1) by Marissa Meyer , considering that I'm probably one of the last people on this Earth to have not read this book!!

Gosh, I can't wait to read this one! I still haven't got a copy yet, though :(


message 34: by Gisbelle (new)

Gisbelle | 25787 comments I think I'll continue the series. Boy, so many series I need to continue. I think I'll read one or both of Take Me On (Pushing the Limits, #4) by Katie McGarry & Graduation Day (The Testing, #3) by Joelle Charbonneau

Or maybe I start this series Dissonance (Dissonance, #1) by Erica O'Rourke an ARC I got a while and it'll be out next month, so I hope to read the book by the end of this week.


message 35: by Vicki (new)

Vicki (goodreadscomboobooper49) | 31156 comments Gis, I have your first two books on my soon-to-be-read-list! :) I'm especially excited for Graduation Day!


message 36: by Gisbelle (new)

Gisbelle | 25787 comments Yes, me too :) It's out tomorrow and I hope to read it on the release date :D But first I need to finish Rebel (Reboot, #2) by Amy Tintera by tomorrow morning. It's for Pick Me a Winner which I fail to finish on time. Again. lol

I can't wait to read that one!!!!


message 38: by Gisbelle (new)

Gisbelle | 25787 comments Rebel is great so far :)


message 39: by Vicki (new)

Vicki (goodreadscomboobooper49) | 31156 comments And this is ANOTHER series I want to read!! I couldn't read Reboot when some did a buddy read for it.


message 40: by Gisbelle (new)

Gisbelle | 25787 comments It's a great series, Vic. I didn't join to BR that time, but couldn't resist when I saw so many of us rated it 5 stars :)


message 41: by Mandiann (new)

Mandiann (goodreadscommandiann) | 6882 comments I don't think I BR it either but I loved it!!! I am planning to BR Rebel.


message 42: by Gisbelle (new)

Gisbelle | 25787 comments You guys will have a lot to discuss. It's really messed up. In a good way :)


message 43: by Shannon (new)

Shannon | 53 comments I so love series--and I just finished Cress (The Lunar Chronicles, #3) by Marissa Meyer yesterday ( right after reading Cinder and Scarlet)---I couldn't put it down!

So I am torn between starting The Lightning Thief (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, #1) by Rick Riordan OR Reboot (Reboot, #1) by Amy Tintera


message 44: by Mandiann (new)

Mandiann (goodreadscommandiann) | 6882 comments Reboot!!!


message 45: by Vicki (new)

Vicki (goodreadscomboobooper49) | 31156 comments Shannon, I haven't read either of those books, so I can't give an opinion but I trust Mandiann's!


message 46: by Shannon (new)

Shannon | 53 comments I took Mandiann's advise--and started Reboot last night... only on chapter 3 but interesting premise.


message 47: by Vicki (new)

Vicki (goodreadscomboobooper49) | 31156 comments Glad you're liking your book, Shannon. :)


message 48: by Shannon (new)

Shannon | 53 comments Finished it...and I enjoyed it. Now just got to get my hands on the 2nd one.


message 49: by Vicki (new)

Vicki (goodreadscomboobooper49) | 31156 comments Shannon, that's awesome! I'm so glad you liked it! :)

Miodrag ★❥ | 889 comments I didn't have time this week to continue with On Dublin Street (book three), instead I've read Try (Temptation, #1) by Ella Frank (5*) and Loved it!
Will read Before Jamaica Lane next week! :)
