MobileRead Book Challenges discussion

I have a lot of books on my tbr list and I hope to put a good dent in it this year. I am going to post my ticker right here since we don't have sigs at GR.





1. 336 pages

2. 336 pages

3. 594 pages I thought it was a good finale, but it could have used some more action or tension.

4. 320 pages My favourite In Death book so far.

1,586 pages

5. Loved this one. Arista rocks!

6. Just plain boring, but had and interesting concept.

7. Wasn't quite as good as some of the previous In Death books, imho.

8. I am not too into ships and sea voyages so this one didn't do it for me as much as the others in the series.

9. Amazing finale to a great series. Loved it.

10. Love, love, love this book! Ranks right around Perfect Chemistry and Return to Paradise for me.

11. Wow, awesome YA zombie book! Has everything I love; great characters, interesting story, action, and love.

12. I thought Flinn's other fairy tale re-telling, Beastly, was much better. The characters fell flat.

OMG, I have a lot to post.

13. Was ok, but reminded me a lot of Outlander.

14. LOVED this book! It was almost like two books in one. Part of it was a great romance like Perfect Chemistry and the other half was more like a thriller. Great book, but a bit weird (which I like).

15. Good book, but not nearly as good as Some Girls Are.

16. YA light fluffy read.

17. Good, but way too easy to figure out the twists in the plot.

18. Very interesting read by a young indi author. if you like fantasy with a twist, try this.

19. Re-read this with a friend new to the series. What can I say, above any other series or book this series is still my very favourite 15 years and multiple reads later. This first book is mostly an introduction though.

20. Great YA angel book. Loved the story and the way each angel has a destiny.

21. Lots of people say this is a Twilight rip off, but even though some things are similar, it isn't at all. The writing is strong and so is the kick butt heroine. Plus a bit of smut thrown in t=for us grown ups.

22. I liked it, but hated the ending.

23. Loved getting to see a different side to Tod. I Love that reaper!

24. This was the best SS in the series to date. I loved it and was going to give it 5 stars, but Kaylee kind of pissed me off so I didn't.

25. Jessica drove me crazy during most of this book, but Marcus was drool worthy enough to keep me reading, lol.



#%#@!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just had all 13-52 and it said my post was too big, so I went to copy half my text and it erased!!!!! Grrrrrrrrrr....

Over and hour of time spent and wasted. I could have been reading.

26. Second book to a really cool YA mystery/thriller series about a girl who can see auras from dead bodies. She tries to find the killer in each book.

27. Enjoyed the last 1/4 but the rest bored me.

28. I hardly remember this book now.

29. I thought this would be funnier.

30. A unique UF series about an exorcist that has a demon trapped in her as she tries to save the human race from becoming demon slaves.

31. A twist on the princess and the Frog fairy tale.

32. Another great Morgan Kingsley book, exorcist extraordinaire.

33. Felt like the story didn't progress.

34. I didn't feel any connection to the characters personally or feel the chemistry between them. I also really didn't care for the ending. I am sure a lot of people would enjoy this, but it felt out of place to me.

35. The In Death books are always a solid 4 star read for me. I love Eve and Roarke.

36. Cute modern take on P&P.

37. As much as I love the Mortal Instruments series, this book just wasn't as good as the others IMO. Although the previous book was so kick ass, maybe none that come after can live up to it?

38. I like mead's Vampire Academy books, but I can't seem to fall for her adult series the same way. I did like this one more than the Georgina series though.

39. Probably one of my favourite books in the Wheel of Time series. Lots of people don't care for this one as much though. It does have more dead time where they are kind of wandering, but I still love the feel of this one. Nobody is who you think they are, who do you trust? Awesome epicness at the end and the Dragon is reborn!

40. Cute YA series about a witch. I liked the first one better though.

41. New UF series. I liked it, but it just didn't live up to the hype for me.

42. If you want a good vampire series with bad vamps in it, read the Morganville Vampires. This book wasn't as good as the rest, but it was still a fun read. If you can tell from the title, this book was about a vampire fight club.

Wow! What an update! You've been moving right along.

I am up to reading about half of what I usually do (or less). I have so many books to update, but because I was so behind I kept putting it off. Going to try to add some.

43. I really loved the third Chicagoland Vampires, but this one was great too.

44. Different take on traditional fantasy. I liked it.

45. Great dystopian story.

46. I love zombie stories, but this one was just ok-like. It had some gory scenes, but no creepy factor. I like my zombie stories to keep me on the edge of my seat (unless they are funny like ).

47. What can I say, I love Kate. She rocks and her and Curran make me lol, swoon, and smile.

48. I liked the first one more. Or it could have been the timing on this one, I was going through a lot when I was reading it and it took me a long time to finish it.

49. This was a wow read. It was full of angst and it was very tragic, but I loved it. Don't read it if you can't handle the subject matter (which is incest). This book really threw me because it disgusts me, but I found myself hoping the two teens could find a way to be together anyway. I was so torn and emotional while reading this.

50. A prequel book (kind of) to the Fallen series. I liked it, but prefer the second book.

51. A really unique take on angels.

52. These are usually solid four star reads for me.

53. I think this was my favourite in the Elemental Assassin series.

54. This was interesting.

55. Better than Eon, lots more action.

56. I liked it, but it didn't leave a lasting impression. I already forgot most of it.

57. A cute, light, predictable YA read.

58. A lot of it was right on with me and my family. Interesting. I do try to follow it, but not exclusively.

59. This one was ok, but it seemed to drag.

60. I always enjoy Echols books if I am in the mood for contemporary YA romance.

61. A really unique paranormal series by an indie author. The ebooks are very cheap ($0.99-$2.99) and well worth it IMHO.

62. This was good, but it was almost like reading a Black Dagger Brotherhood book but instead of vampires it had other fantasy creatures. The villains were much better though compared to the BDB baby powder villains.

63. a really good start to a epic fantasy series. I think people who like Rothfuss's would like this one.

64. Great book. Getting more into what this town is actually about. Still lots of secrets though.

65. Good for your purse if you are a woman, but it is a very short version of the big book. Some things on the lists are missing.

66. I liked it but it wasn't mind blowing.

67. I adore Elkeles, but this one was my least favourite in all of her books so far.

68. A spin-off of Mead's Vampire Academy series. I like Sydney a lot more in this book, but not nearly as much a s Rose. Adrian is a plus for me. I <3 him.

69. Still a little slow for my taste, but I liked the story more in this second book.

70. I LOVED this book. I thought the previous Soul Screamers book was the best, but this one topped it. It almost seemed like it should have been the final book though, and it's not. If you like YA PNR, this is a great series where the books get better as they go except book 2). Very original too.

71. I love Perkins! Her books are amazing.

72. I read this many years ago and really didn't remember much of anything. I enjoyed it, but it moved a lot slower than I remember.

73. I loved this one! Better than the second and maybe better than the first (probably tied). I think this is my favourite fallen angel series, and things in the game really change in this book.

74. Really different UF series where people have special abilities like tracking via blood or name, travelling through shadows, and binding people with words or blood. I liked the main character Liv, but Cam didn't do much for me. He made really stupid decisions.


Whew, that was a lot to go through. I had some great reads this year!

Oppps, I forgot a couple. They should be 66 & 67, but I do not feel like changing all the numbers so I am going to add them to the end.

75. A cute, clean contemporary romance.

76. I liked it, but compared to the others I felt the ending was rushed and a bit cheesy. The rest of the book was good though.

77. I liked this, but I didn't get enough answers to my questions considering it is the final book. I loved the first two, so this disappointed me a bit. Still enjoyed it though, just wasn't completely satisfied.

78. Interesting concept, but not in execution.

79. Was funny at times, but nothing else really kept my interest.

80. Really cute YA contemporary romance.

81. Interesting, but too predictable at times.

82. Awesome, awesome, awesome! This series gets better and better with each book.

83. Kind of like a blend of Vampire Academy and The Hunger Games, but not.

84. This book was much better than the previous two. Lots of intrigue and the plot threads start to braid together.

85. Was a good follow up, but the end seemed unfinished. I know there is a next book, but I felt it needed more.

86. Very twisted and dark YA romance. Yes, it does have the silly girl falling for the boy that is very bad for her, but it so different. I love how twisted it was and how the last third of the book took a weird crazy turn.
