I'm sorry to hear that you didn't care for it Sashana. Hopefully I will like it since I've had it requested at the library forever. Hopefully I will get it soon though.

No loss, I just read Hush, Hush and I loved it. I requested Wings from my library so I'm in no shortage of angel books.

Sashana! OMG, same here!

Lacy, let us know what you think of it. Some people had problems and some didn't with Fallen..

I guess it's just one of those books you love or hate-no in betweens.

Yeah, true, true.. Maybe Lacy will be one of those who likes it..

I'll definitely let you know what I think about it one I finally get it. Also Sashana, you'll have to let me know what you thought of Wings. I thought it wasa a cutesy book, but I didn't love it.

Hopefully I will like it, but I've found the YA books really are love/hate and no in between.

It definitely just lost some points for being 'cutesy'.

Yeah, but maybe you will like it better. I think part of my problem was that I needed a break from YA for a little while.

Will be picking up after work:

Oh, I get in those 'moods' too. I've been reading a lot of contemporary romances lately so now I'm back to YA for while.

Got from the library:

@Lauren- Tell me how you like it! Been meaning to check it out for a while and forget every time. :(

I've been reading the Anita Blake Series I just picked up The Killing Dance and for when I need a break I got The Priest and the Medium: The Amazing True Story of Psychic Medium B. Anne Gehman and Her Husband, Former Jesuit Priest Wayne Knoll, Ph.D.

Ginger, got Clockwork Angel requested from the library but there are a lot of people a head of me..
Also, you liked Torment? ..."

i loved Clockwork angel---

My library doesn't have Clockwork Angel yet. I really wish it would come in

JenC, have you asked someone to order it? I bug them all the time at my library and it works. Granted, I have to wait now for the book but at least I'll get it.

Julie, I keep hearing good things so that's why I wanted to check it out..

My library doesn't really take requests. They are kind of mean about that. They just look at you like and why should I do that.

OMG! That just pissed me off! Have you tried talking to a librarian? I have two; one for adult books and one for YA. I haven't had a problem with them, granted it might take forever to actually get the book but that's cause my state is in the toilet..

My library's funding is down so low that they said they have been ordering half of what they usually do so they aren't really taking requests.

Hello? OMG, do you live in CA? Cause that's where I am, LOL. Well, no, don't LOL cause it is sad and pathetic..

Well, see what you do and it won't hurt to talk to a librarian..

That's so sad. I have had great luck requesting books. Especially ebooks, I ask and I think they have only not gotten one or two of them.

I'm in PA and it is a sad place around here. I'll talk to them tonight...I mean they all know me by name cause I'm in there so much so you would think they would be willing to do me some favors wouldn't you?

Speaking of sad and patetic places my parents just went to Texas I think San Antonio and she said they never saw a book store or a library the whole time they were there. She was even looking because she ran out of books to read

OMG, OMG, OMG, JenC, please say it ain't so?? OMG, what is this world coming to?? Oh speaking of not seeing anything like that, one of the book publishing companies isn't selling books anymore, just e-books! Read it on the latest RT issue.

Wish you luck JenC! Keep the faith sister.. and Julie I hear ya.

I remember hearing that after some small book shop closed in one area of Texas, the closest would be over 100 miles away. Say WHAT?? I would kill myself. Or live in my car in a new town, because there is NO way I'm living without at least 4 book shops close by.

I've got these out from the library right now. Why does everything come in at once??


On request (not doing any more of these until the mountain of books I've already borrowed have been read):

I get where Jen C is coming from, my librarians aren't friendly at all. They all seem to hate their jobs.

That's so sad. I love my library and I know most of the librarians because I love to volunteer there. I don't know what I would do if I didn't like my library.

I never go into a bookstore cause I'm broke and that would be bad.. i love my library- especially sinceI got an ereader and can borrow books on it. i also love garage sales... I used to buy books way mote often but now I'm poor!

I liked Torment a lot more than I liked Fallen. There was a LOT more development of the plot. I'm really enjoying Clockwork Angel. I'm a little put off that the next book doesn't come out till next September, lol But what can i do about that?

I also just bought and
I'm very excited about both :)

I just checked out Kin by Holly Black.

Hmm, I might have to read it after all. Ginger, I love Beautiul Creatures! I hope you enjoy it. I've been hearing nothing but good things aboutNevermore and I can't wait to read it.

Jen, I'm in PA too. Nothing to great in the way of books around here except Barns and Nobel and Borders.

Ok, so I finisehd Clockwork Angel and now i'm even MORE PUT OFF that the book doesnt' come out until next September =(
I started Nevermore. So I'll keep ya'll posted :)

OH and the #2 for Beautiful Creatures just came out. I saw B&N stocking the bookshelves with it yesterday.

My librarians are friendly except when you want a book they don't have. From what I've heard from them they are just frustrated by the budget cuts. They feel bad that they aren't ordering all the books that everyone wants, but they can't do anything about it.

Lauren I have to drive 45 mins to a Barns and Nobel but I have a Borders 2 mins up the road. Where are you in PA, I'm West right next to Ohio

I loved Beautiful Creatures and can't wait for the chance to read the 2nd book. You'll also have to let us know if Nevermore is good.

I hear ya ladies. I tend to nag until I get what I want and that does work. Granted, not all the time but a lot. The attitude I do get is when it comes time to check out the books. Some of the clerks act like they are doing me a huge favor.

I finished yesterday and I think it's best to say the Jury's still out. I really liked parts of the book. I think, having just come off of Clockwork Angel, i expected the same type of "writing style" and i didn't get it. =\ My fault for having expectations lol
It was definitely a more 'youthful' writing style, which I generally love.
I liked a lot of the storyline. And I loved the two leads. Very unpredictable pairing, and that it a more interesing read.
NOW, as for the rest of you reading... it's a series. I went into it NOT knowing there would be a second book. Just preparing you. If' I'd known, I might not have thrown the book across the room and hit a wall (after I read the last chapter) So...just a heads up :)
I think there will be mixed reviews. But I encourage everyone to read :) Definitely a mysterious book.

This past week I've checked out from the library and read checked out these audio books last night and starting today reading

I just got back from the library. I picked up &

I'm sending half of my books back. They're just not grabbing my interest. I'm determined to finish Something About Emmaline tonight but I have no idea what to start after that. *sigh* There IS such a thing as too many choices!

I always feel a bit overwhelmed when I come from the library. It's like "Oh my gosh, what should I read first?"

Just checked out . Waiting on .

I just got Ninth Grade Sucks a Vlad Todd book, plus my library just sent me a noticed that Twice Bitten and Wicket Appetite are ready for pick up! Oh crap, I will only have 3 weeks to read all three books since two have other waiting and I can't renew!!!

I've just got a couple out from the library, since I'm trying to clear off my overly-long wishlist.

Strange Angels
The Unbearable Lightness of Being

I think I have another book reserved that's still waiting to come in. Hopefully it'll arrive before I go off to London, I need something to read on the train.

I picked up Backup and White Night by Jim Butcher from my library yesterday.

Did anyone else have a hard time getting into and ? I'm returning Firelight (it's due in two days and there's not way I'm going to finish the second chapter before then). Maybe I'm just not in a YA frame of mind.

Sans, I started Firelight today but I quit on the first page. I'm still going to read it...just not now. I'm reading but I'm kind of bored with it so I'm going to try .

Sweet Talk was in my batch of library books to go back without reading as well. I just really wasn't in the mood for it. Bah. I'm feeling very curmudgeony and Scrooge-like toward books lately. Here's hoping I'm not hitting another reading slump.

I know the feeling. I couldn’t bring myself to read anything yesterday so I watched movies all day. I guess reading slumps come with the territory when you read as much as we do.

Good point. Especially since I really stick to only a couple of genres. I'd expand my horizons but when I do pick up a mystery book or a YA or regular fiction, I just can't get into them.
