TEAM THREAD: Team #2 The G.L.O.B.


I didn't like this one as much as the first 2, I kept having to make myself read it--it wasn't calling to me at all. I can't really say much without spoiling, so don't read on if you don't want little spoilers. :)
First of all, the only Conall we got was a drunk out-of-commission moron for most of the book. And we didn't get any Alexia/Conall interaction until the very end of the book--HELLO?!?! Their interactions are the only reason the 1st book was so good. So Carriger greatly cuts down on their interaction in the 2nd book, and eliminates it in the third. She lost me.
And secondly? He never apologized! How could she not have him say a simple "I'm sorry"? I was outraged at the end of the book. Alexia is supposed to be this tough, sensible woman, but she allowed him back without an actual apology. Ugh.
After reading my review back, I'm not sure it deserves 3 stars. ;)

***Next shelf will be announced November 22nd***
I've always wondered if Vampire Academy is as good as everyone says. I had it on my wishlist a while ago, but it kind of fell away during the years... But I know exactly what you mean. It's probably a good thing I don't have all the BDB books yet, or I'm pretty sure I'd still be reading them! Ha ha ;)
Just finished my book for the Shifers shelf!

I think this book's probably more of a 4,5 stars, but I just can't bring myself to give it 5. I was just too mad and frustrated! If I thought Rogue had my emotions spinning, it was nothing compared to this one! I just wanted to scratch someone. (Preferably Malone...)
It's lucky I had the day off, since I practically stayed up all night and had it in my hands again as soon as I woke up. If my heart hadn't ache for Fayhte and Marc before, it definitely would now. Can't wait for Prey to arrive!
(It better not be late ;)

OUR NEXT SHELF IS ..... supernatural romance

Happy Reading & Happy (early) Thanksgiving, Everyone!!

Lol! And I gave Blood & Chocolate 4 stars--guess I'm a fan of inbreeding. ;)

Sarah, don't worry about reading anything for the Free..."
LOL! I saw the movie and don't remember inbreeding issues.
Yeah, that almost happened to me last shelf with "Alpha"/shifters. Bummer. Know you like Anne Bishop's series though. :)

I never saw the movie, but that's a book where the consensus around GR is that the book is waaaaay better than the movie--not that that isn't usually the case, but I guess this one was glaringly so.

Yes, and I only had to go 2 pages in to find a book on my Dec. TBR. All I have left to read for November is a YA fantasy/dystopian book and a YA straight fantasy, so I had my fingers crossed for YA Fantasy to come up. :)
I think I'll pick Kiss of Midnight for the Supernatural Romance shelf, hoping it arrives in time! :)

Yeah, I remember the movie being just ok. Might have been a dud, not sure. Definitely nothing amazing or I would've remembered more. LOL!
I was hoping for an UF shelf. :)

I'm really liking this series. I love the interaction between Dru and all the boys. I hated that it ended where it did but I do like the fact that you knew it was wrapping up to the end of this book. A good, natural pause. She drops some new clues and Dru gets more allies (we think) and a few new (possible) enemies. I don't trust Anna at all, just FYI.

It feels like everyone's reading The Darkest Night now! Just because I (for some unknown reason) haven't started it yet and had planned to save it for next year, ha ha. I'll probably change that soon though... Don't know how long I can keep myself from it. ;)

Let us know how the green font works out. I read Boneshaker earlier in the year and the whole thing was printed in sepia colored ink. After a few pages, I didn't even notice it anymore.

LOL, Rebecca. It's a conspiracy. Secretly luring you to the series. Hehe
Haha, I'm starting to think so!

Good Job!! :D

Just FYI
Can you change book even after you've started it? I really have no wish to finish Kiss of Midnight...

Yes. You can make as many changes to your book choice as you'd like. Credit will be given once you're done and have posted your review. No worries. Just post what you're new book will be. :)
Okay, good to know. Thanks! Might finish it later, but now I just can't get myself to finish it. I think I'll try Bloodfever instead :)
I hope so too! I wasn't that impressed by the first book, but I'm told the series improve, so I'm giving it another try! :)

It's torture, ha ha! I should have learned to do that, but no. I just want to read everything at once! Although now I've actually had to order the whole Shifters series and I've soon collected the entire BDB. Couldn't stand it any longer!
