Hi everyone! This is just a continuation of the other thread, as its gotten too large, and its not working properly!

I'm still reading The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien , which is fun! Also started Stars Above (The Lunar Chronicles) by Marissa Meyer which is good so far! The first story was a back story of Michelle Benoit and Scarlet, and how Michelle (view spoiler)

Also going to start Wendy Darling Stars by Colleen Oakes soon.

Stars Above is on my TBT list. I'm hoping to get it either in April or May. ^-^


Rose (LittleBookOwl) (roselittlebookowl75) | 1372 comments I'm in world's worst reading slump so I'm pulling out an NA romance in hopes to bring me out. Haven't read in a week. I'm starting Sweet Addiction by J. Daniels! I'm also gonna start HP and The Goblet of Fire. HP always makes me want to read.

I just finished my reread of Clockwork Princess (The Infernal Devices, #3) by Cassandra Clare . I then picked up Stars Above (The Lunar Chronicles) by Marissa Meyer and noticed that I've already read many of the stories in there. I'll read the rest here and there.

I'm trying to figure out what I'm in the mood for next. Maybe Morning Star (Red Rising, #3) by Pierce Brown . I also have City of Heavenly Fire (The Mortal Instruments, #6) by Cassandra Clare pulled out, so I'll start both and see which sticks. I think I'm still in Shadowhunter mode so I have a feeling I'll land on CoHF. ;)

I am with you on the slump. I was on vacation for a week and that really made it worse! I tried to read on the plane both ways but it kept making me fall asleep :( Then when I got home I have been watching stuff from my DVR from the last two weeks so have not read at all. I am hoping now that my jet lag is gone I will get back to it.

Brigid ✩ | 738 comments Yay for the new thread! The old thread kept glitching on me, too––I thought it was just me, lol. :D

Anyway, I recently finished:

The Raven Boys (The Raven Cycle, #1) by Maggie Stiefvater

message 20: by Heather (new)

Heather (hersecretsmile) | 290 comments I've been reading Murder of Crows (The Others, #2) by Anne Bishop and I'm not sure I'm enjoying it quite as much as the first book but it's definitely interesting delving more into this world.

I love the Earth's Children series!


Rose (LittleBookOwl) (roselittlebookowl75) | 1372 comments @Heidi, @Karen, completely fixed my slump! I started Sweet Addiction by J. Daniels and it's hilarious! Nothing like a good NA romance with some hilarious banter! Woot!

That series is pretty slow moving but I like it overall. I am used to the Kate Daniels series which is all action but they are both good in their own ways.

I also found it to be a bit slow paced. But I'm still really excited to read Marked in Flesh! I ordered it yesterday and I cant wait to get my hands on it!!!

Sky (mikotea) | 276 comments I read None of the Above by I.W. Gregorio yesterday.


message 32: by [deleted user] (new)

I finished An Ember in the Ashes (An Ember in the Ashes, #1) by Sabaa Tahir in the early hours of today, planning on starting The Cardturner A Novel about a King, a Queen, and a Joker by Louis Sachar now.

Jenny (juliababyjen) | 12932 comments Mod
I finished Wendy Darling Stars by Colleen Oakes and overall I liked it! Fun Pan retelling, although very creepy!

Also started Dead of Night (Dead of Night, #1) by Jonathan Maberry and its really good so far! This is the story of how First Night happened ,for those who love the Benny Imura series! Its an adult read.

I LOVED An Ember in the Ashes!


message 35: by Elora (new)

Elora Mitchell | 449 comments About halfway through Wolf By Wolf (Wolf By Wolf, #1) by Ryan Graudin .

It's really good. The way the author handles back stories reminds me of Leigh Bardugo (and that is a huge compliment)!


message 36: by Catherine (new)

Catherine Bruno | 771 comments Just started reading The Wrath and the Dawn. Liking it so far, but we'll see.


Donna (BookDragonGirl) (bookdragongirl) I'm in a reading slump :(

I have this as an ARC and still haven't picked it up. D:


message 41: by Elora (new)

Elora Mitchell | 449 comments You totally should if you get the chance, Sky. It's really good--an interesting fictional story on what would have happened if the Axis powers had won WW2.

Brigid ✩ | 738 comments Glad you're enjoying Wolf by Wolf, Elora! :D


message 43: by Brigid ✩ (new)

Brigid ✩ | 738 comments Today I finished re-reading:

The Raven Boys (The Raven Cycle, #1) by Maggie Stiefvater

Just as amazing the third time. ;)

And now I have started:

A Darker Shade of Magic (Shades of Magic, #1) by V.E. Schwab

Really cool so far!

Overall, I'm a fan. It has its flaws, but there's a lot of creativity and some really good twists and turns. If you like series like Gone by Michael Grant, you should like this one :)
