Books I read: May

reread:

32. Days of Blood & Starlight - Laini Taylor
33. Cold Magic - Kate Elliott
34. Cold Fire - Kate Elliott
35. Delirium - Lauren Oliver

new:

25. Kingdom Keepers 1, Disney After Dark - Ridley Pearson I was very disappointed in this, and I don’t think I’ll keep going with the series. I wanted to try, because you know, Disney, but meh. It was all over the place and didn’t really ground the fantasy/mystery in anything at all.

26. The Wordy Shipmates - Sarah Vowell I didn’t like this that much – it was boring, and that’s hard for Sarah. I wanted Take the Cannoli.

27. Cold Steel - Kate Elliott I really disliked the focus on Drake, but otherwise I really liked how this ended, and I love Cat and Vai.

28. Dreams of Gods & Monsters - Laini Taylor I was worried when this added so many extra storylines for the last book in the series that it would be all over the place, but it was so so good. Tight.

29. Into the Still Blue - Veronica Rossi Meh. The first one was fantastic. The second, very good. This one – not my favorite.

30. Pandemonium - Lauren Oliver I was confused in the beginning and the end (last page) was super predictable, but I liked it overall. It moved the plot forward and I hope the third does the series justice.

Glad you liked Kate Elliott. If you think you might like more you should try the Crossroads trilogy. I liked it very much, but it might not be your thing.

I still haven't read Pandemonium. I don't know if I'm waiting for a sale or what. The first one I listened to on audiobook and I'd be willing to do that again. I should check the library.

I am having such a hard time getting into Dreams of Gods & Monsters, which is bumming me out because I LOVED the first two in the series.
