7x7

Just finished off the Wake trilogy a few days ago. I enjoyed the series very much but I felt the last book Gone was a bit bland and weak. I'm happy that she kind of left Janie's story open by saying that she had made her choice "for now" but the rest of the story could have been stronger... like the first two books.

Book number 48 was Fade, the second book in the Wake trilogy by Lisa McMann. I read Wake a while back and kept pushing the next two books aside because I kept thinking it wasn't that great and didn't need to be continued just yet. Turns out I had it confused with another series. Now that I fully remember the first book and have completed the second I realize that it is an awesome series. Very different from what I usually read and very emotional (or maybe that's just me... everything makes me cry lately). Can't wait to finish up the trilogy but also very sad that there are only 3 books.

"It's me, Sugar"

Once again I am falling behind... not only with reading but with blogging about it. I finished book #47 last week and just completed book #48 today. Oops... well my 47th book was Crave by Melissa Darnell. Not much to say, it wasn't a life changing book but it is definitely going to be a great series and I am hooked. Cannot wait to see what happens next.

Ultimate Annus Confusionus

Book number 46 was another book from the Morganville Vampires series. I took a break from them for a little while so I could catch up on other books and also so I would still have something to look forward to from one of my favorite authors. Rachel Caine has continued to keep the series fresh and exciting even after 7 books. And now there are a total of 12 Morganville books available... I hope she has continued to keep them at the same level. It is very easy for books in a very long series to start going down hill and I think it really shows how good of a writer an author is if they can continue a series for a long time and never lose the interest of the readers. I'm still hooked and can't wait to read book 8.

3rd Kaprekar Number

I have been really bad with my book blogging lately. I completed my 45th book probably about 2 weeks ago but it was such a forgettable book that I keep forgetting to review it. Witch Eyes by Scott Tracey wasn't exactly a bad book but it just couldn't hold my attention for long periods of time. It was very easy to put down and didn't have me craving for more. I love the fact that the author allowed his teen hero to be homosexual... there are not enough young adult authors out there who go there, and there needs to be more of them. I feel like if he had just been a little more out there with his plots and had a little more action, he could have had a very good book.
