hm, it's still early on, but I like this better than Cutter's other books.

I read this so long ago, I didn't really remember the details. Also reading it again because of the new tv show.

I still don't know what to think about this one.

First time reading this one: Donna is absurd... or at least her motivation to cheat on her husband is absurd.
Apart from that, I enjoy this, though it doesn't seem so bloody as I would have guessed it before I started it. But let's just see how this will turn out.

I've realized that Goodreads su*ks, and I can't differentiate between different editions. Well anyway...
I'm re-reading this, because 1. I wanted to read some vampire books (I do hope to read some in the next coming months); 2. I absolutely loved this book; 3. I want to finish this series this autumn.
So here I am, diving into bloodthirsty vampires with french attitude.

Only 100 pages left, we are at the Masquerade. I wonder what will happen, I feel a big fight is coming. We still have Vrah, Lucia Mar, Eva and of course Imogen here, so somebody has to die. Vrah's death would be great, she so deserves it.

Yes, this is exactly what we needed. Nipple rings. :D

Action after action, no rest for Carl and his team. There were some serious moments here, and I loved it, I wonder how the end will unfold.

Chatper 3: Faile is being led by her Shaido capturers through the cold snow. She is naked (and the others whom are captured too), but because of the cold, they are wrapped in their capturers's coats. According to Aiel customs, this is a shame, because gai'shain are unclothed until they can be given proper robes.
... this, detailed in 12 pages. With some repressed sexual desires... Absurd, is what this is.

first big fire just happened. I'm still not much of a fan of the story (basically it's just a hide and seek), but at least I'm starting to like the kid. Sadly the other characters at this point are pretty black and white. :(

Because why not start a third book to read?
Also I just realised how much I missed this series. And of course Carl didn't disappoint, he just had to make a huge scene at the start of the book. Nice way to make your life that much harder! :D

Chapter 2: where Perrin is informed that his wife, Faile (and Elayne's mom) was taken by Aiel. Some dialouge between him and Berelain (I wish somebody would kick that woman, so irritating), some tension in the camp because there are Aiel amongst the Two River men.
So basically nothing happened.

hm, I don't think this will be any of my favorites from King. Andy, the main character is kind of boring, and I don't feel the urge to get to know what happened and what will happen to him or to his daughter, Charlie.

Spoilers from here on!
Finally I made it through this thick a*s prologue where some Black Ajahs were outed, where Elayne and Aviendha became sisters (in a way too f-ed up scene), where Toveine Gazal (prisoner) tries to spy on Logain, and where Rand and Min flee Cairhien (promises were made that Rand will cleanse saidin at finally).
Chapter 1: Rand and Elyas leaves the Prophet's (Masema) camp.

hm... I dunno, I don't think this will blow my mind. There's something that's bothering me, but I can't quite grasp what it is. Maybe the writing. Maybe the fact that men are portrayed as lesser than women, or just plain dead or monsters... I dunno. But something keeps bothering me with this book, and I can't enjoy the vampire story here at all...

In the mood for some vampire story. It's probably the weather - chill, windy, it's like autumn is here (I wish, yeah..). Anyway, this is something like a research too, how to write about vampires in a small village.

There's nothing better than a rainstorm all day long: you get to read all day. :)

Okay, so this is why King is a genius writer: No matter that I have no clue about the plot at 42% (around 200 pages), but it's still captivating. It's interesting to see and watch what happens to Johnny at the hospital.

This year, I think I started this book at least 2 times now. This is the third one. And I swear if I don't tag this here as currently reading, I might as well never read it... I know, you shouldn't force a book, but here we are. I desperatley want to finish this series.

This is interesting! I have no memory whatsoever of this book, though I know I've read this before... plot is interesting, and the pages are flying by!

I do like this book, but lately I have to force myself to read this - only because I'm in the mood for King's books....

I wonder... why is the Long Walk happening? And how do they chose the boys? Or are they voluntarily go for it? Why? I do hope King will answer these questions.
And also... will there be a winner? And if so, who will it be?

wohooo, now this is more like a King/Bachman book. Also it's mind-boggling that this is his first novel, and he wrote this at the tender age of 19.... it just shows how good of a writer he was at that age already, and how much imagination he had.

7th book of King, and I have no clue what this is about, never read it. First chapter doesn't really show us the risks, but I guess this will be something like the Hunger Games? If you stop, they will kill you?

Not as good as the first book, I really miss the Wild, fighting the Wild... at least it's fast paced, but the Red Knight's parts are not really interest me much...

after watching Wicked, I realized, I've never watched or read this, so... I was amazed that the movie was not based on this, but another book series. I might read that one, if I like the original series.
