Shut Up & Read discussion

Hi everyone,

Welcome to my page! I dont really have much to say unless I'm talking about a book I'm currently reading or a movie I'm going to see so I hope you guys dont expect much from my page. :D

If you simply want to talk I'm always here..

Okay as promised above ^^^ I am currently going to go print out my ticket that I purchased last week for today. Then I am going to go set in line for HG(thats if theirs a line?).

So we're reading Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children this month for our themed read and Sheri just killed me with the book trailer! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWrNyV...#!

As soon as I get paid this Thursday I am running to the book store to get this book! *excited* :D

The book is really good! And the pictures a bit creepy, hope you enjoy it!!

The trailer was creepy! That's one of the things I loved about the book, though, was the pictures. I don't think its a book that should be read on an ereader, even though the pictures are on there too.

That book just moved its way up on my to-read list! It looks soooo good.

Lol, that's how I feel!

Thanks for sharing Sheri!

Yay for trailers! I'll be back tomorrow afternoon to watch it. I haven't watched on in over a year.

I have this new bad habit that's driving me crazy!! I usually read books all the way through good or bad but now if a book isn't sparking my interest as I read on I'm starting to jump to reading another book.

I am currently reading the Iron King still (I know!). I really like it but I feel like its not going fast enough and I'm anxious to get on with the next book already.

So my ? is ...should I continue reading and finish it or go to the next book and come back to it eventually?

Though one.

I'd say give it another go, and if it still doesn't tickle you, then pick up another, and then give the Iron King another go when you are done

Tt, I've been the same way.. I think GR got me into that habit because I have so many books I want to read now that I feel bad when it takes me forever to get through one!

I've only read the first Iron Fey book so I can't give you my opinion on that one.. but jump to a different book and then try again, maybe?

I agree with Cassandra. Ever since gr I've looked at the stupid reccomendations and now my to-read list is, like, 200 books! I agree with Sannie and Cassandra on what you should do.

As I've gotten older, I've decided life's too short to waste on books that don;'t interest me. There's too many good ones still waiting to be read. Why let stubborn pride steal them away from me?

I agree with Stephen! If it doesn't grab my attention, I don't waste my time. You might put it aside and try it again in a few weeks.

I also agree with everyone on here! I really hate not finishing a book or a series so I always try to come back to it. Also, I am not one to read multiple books at once so if I am stuck on one and it's taking forever then I decide to mark my place and put it aside, otherwise I'll never move on to the next book.

You explained it to a "T" Tawna! I probably will set it down for another book because I just got frustrated when I updated my book status and it didn't even budge! So I will take all of you guy's advice and move right along to the next book!


Now I will have to get all of your options on what I should read next.. :D

You have too many books on ur TBR that I like! You have not read Mockingjay yet?? or the Maze Runner!! or Halfway to the Grave!!! OMG, I can't pick....

Lol I know! I might read maze runner next with everyone and then read something I want to read next.

I want to start taking review request but it might take me a few weeks to get to them...I am currently only reading my ARC's and my author requesting reviewer books. I have received a few emails out of the blue by authors asking me to review their books and I greedily take them with a smile on my face but it really bums me out if i cant get to them fast enough though.

It's really not that interesting.....I'm just a nerd lol and I'm always busy.

I'm currently reading and its good so far....I like the take on beauty and the Beast. :)

Hi Tt, thought I would pop in and say hey lol...

Currently reading novellas while deciding on the next novel...

Hey Tana! Thanks for saying hi...... *waves back* :)

I love and hate trying to decide which book to read next when I finish a novel. I love it because I get to pick something New and exciting to read. I hate it because I have a ton of books I want to read and its hard to choose! It usually takes me two days to actually pick the next book I'm going to read.

Okay.... I am very excited right now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This Thursday I get to meet who wrote and talk about their books! I am so excited!! I have to write some questions down for Tahereh Mafi because I have read Shatter me but I haven't read Under the Never Sky.

If you guys have any questions you want me to ask tell me and I will try and tape the whole book signing and discussion.

That's pretty cool! Have fun :)

What have Ive been up to lately?...........

I have been going on an indie/requested review books only streak and I think its coming to an end. :( Only to be picked back up again when I feel like it :). I have a ton to review and I can honestly say I will not take anymore request (fingers crossed) for at least five months. I have too many and I feel like I am drowning in book reviews and deadlines. Its fun dont get me wrong but sometimes I need a break eh?

For now on I will stay away from certain groups on GR and our own Read It & Reaps lol to read books I want to read like DivergentDeliriumThe Iron King series just to name a few. :) I also would like to focus more on my blog too if I have time.


Thanks for listening whoever you are! >D

oh yeah.... Im currently reading....ummm let me check.... by JLA it's really good and I cant wait to finish it lol! I haven't had time to sit down and read it since I started it!

I had a great week last week because I was off for a whole week and got a ton of stuff done. I also won a ton of ebooks from a giveaway and most of them are ARC's.! Let's hope I can get to them before they come out :D

Hi Everyone,

I just wanted to come on here and apologize to the group because I have M.I.A. for a bit. I've only told the mods this and now I'm sharing it with you guys but I have recently lost my job so I have been dealing with that issue for the past few weeks. I haven't done any RI&R's this week but I plan on starting it back up this coming Monday. :D

Hopefully everything will go back to normal from here and I hope all is well with everyone!

Glad to have you back :)
