^I hear you. With all of the review and school books I have to read, I'm swamped. I'm trying to push myself, though.

^I've never tried an audio book. I don't know how I would like it. I'm forcing myself to do ebooks for review...but that alone is a hard process.

Finally finished Incarnate by Jodi Meadows. It was a slow read & I had a hard time caring about the characters they were all so bland.

Finished Pandemonium by Lauren Oliver. Is she serious with that ending? I hate
cliffhangers. It had a completely different feel to Delirium & I wasn't really feeling Lena's new interest either. I hate having to wait a whole
year for the next book!

Really??? I LOVED Pandemonium! And I loved Julian a lottt more than Alex. I'm interested in reading Reqiuem, though. Hopefully everything gets cleared
up!

Ugh, I'm in the same situation right now.
I've tried to start reading some YA books and get my 100 books list started for this year, but I just can't find the time to finish them! I am really
ready for the summer so I can finally have time to read some good YA novels.

John Green made my cry once again.
The Fault in Our Stars was such a great book. I prefer Looking for Alaska more though. I definitely have to read his other books now.

What did you think of Some Girls Bite? I'm honestly surprised you haven't moved on to Friday Night Bites!

I liked it. It had me laughing out loud and in suspense. Merit's a really great character. I haven't had to time to really read much though as you can
tell by my pathetic six books read in half a year. and there's so much I want to
read!

Finally had to time to finish Nightshade!!! I need to get started on book 2 ASAP! I didn't think it was going to be as great as people made it out to
be, but I was pleasantly surprised. I don't get the fan love for Ren though he was abusive, controlling, jealous, just so frustrating. I didn't like
him at all. I'm definitely on team Shay.

I found Shay to be TOTALLY mentally abusive. I HATED him for that lol.
I'm definitely team Ren :D

I agree Shay did go a little too far on trying to show Calla what was wrong with what she was taught to believe, but at the same time he was doing it
as a way of protecting her. Ren was just too much a player and I hated the double standard that he was allowed to hook up with whoever he wanted
whenever he wanted and Calla couldn't even have a friendship with another boy.
Finished A Million Suns by Beth Revis & it was amazing!!! I did kind of figure out what the whole mystery was halfway through, but still it was
just full of suspense & kept on edge the whole time. I can't wait for the final book!

But Ren grew up with that mindframe. I felt like he sort of pushed through that as the series grew. I'll be interested to here what you think when you
finish the series.
I felt that Shay way overstepped his boundaries...in ALL of the books. He may have been trying to protect her, but I felt that he wanted everything
done HIS way.

Soulless was such a fun book to read! I loved it and I can't wait to get started on the next book. Gail Carriger is one of my favorites now.

This year was my worst in terms of reading. I only got 15 books read. With work
and school it's so hard to actually have time to finish a book.
