Title: What series next?
Description: help me pick my next read
needmorezoloft - April 16, 2008 02:51 AM (GMT)
I'm almost done with my what I call the drag along to work book, and I need a new one. I'll be starting a new right before bed book which is an owed book from a swap.. (and yeah, I have a work book/purse book, an ebook on my palm, a bathroom book, bedside book, and 1 erotica on the side. Oh and the book Jordan and I are sometimes working on that I read out loud to her... OH and the audio book at work. I know, i know, I can't just freakin' pick one. lol
So help me pick which one goes next.

Waaah why can't I pick more than one??!! :cry:
I can't decide between Marked (the P.C. Cast one, right?) and Motor Mouth (the follow-up to Metro Girl by Evanovich).

I voted for Undead and Unemployed. I've read a couple of those and they were fun. Probably a good idea to dig your way through a series you've already started before diving into the #1 of a completely different series. I may be wrong :lol: but that's how I'm feeling tonight. Probably just leftover cranky from being forced to read multiple books at once during the school semester when I prefer to focus on one at a time. :giggle:

I chose Marked...although there are some others you should really read next ;)

You have to read Marked next. It's a really quick book that you will most likely finish in 1 day, I did. Great book and can't wait to get my hands on books 2 and 3.

I voted for Midnight Alley, 'cos I just finished that one too and it's really good -- love that series! It's a tie between that one and Marked -- equally good but different teeny vamps! :vampire2: You'd finish either one lickidy-split!
And my tie for second choice is between Sookie the Seventh and Undead and Unemployed.
Really, you can't go too wrong with that list. :wink:

I said Sookie #2, but a LOT of good books are on that list...

aargh I always love these kind of polls but I have not read any of these series.
Someone told me I might like a paranormal book. O now I forgot which book it was.
Stephanie Meyers? does that ring a bell? it is also part of a series
eta found it I think.
Twilight.?

I love that series! But it's pretty teen romance-y. The main character spends a lot of time mooning over boys (well, one boy in particular) the way only a teenager can. :rolleyes:
It would not be a book I immediately thought of for you, but if you're in the mood for something different.... :shrug:

I actually recommended to Marlene to try out some of Neil Gaiman's stuff. My first choice for her would probably be Neverwhere.
I haven't read the Twilight series yet though I do have all 3 here on Mt. TBR and hope to get to them soon, before the movie. I really loved P.C. Cast's House of Night series though so I was thinking I'd be giving 9s and 10s to the Twilight ones as well.
HOWEVER, the fact that you said teen romance-y and (is it) Bella crushing on her boy (would that be Edward?).... you know, that's the one aspect I hate the most about teen books. I don't mind that they have boyfriends and all, but I hate the whole swooning and crushing on this boy or that boy stuff. It makes me barf! :sick:
So hopefully that isn't as pronounced as all that and ruin that series for me. I hope not! :unsure:

That series is definitely YA paranormal romance in my book, no question about it.
I can't say exactly how you'll take it, Cherie. I know you usually say you're not into romancey books, and I'll tell anybody that I love them. And then we end up liking a lot of the same books so who knows? :lol: I suspect you'll be rolling your eyes during some parts or wanting things to hurry up at least, but they're worth a try.

Yeah, I know we tend to roll our eyes over some of the same things, Kyri. :rolleyes: I remember when I didn't even know you that well yet and didn't hang out here much yet and we had that long discussion over Urban Shaman? :lol:
So yeah, I definitely wouldn't not try them based on what you said, but whereas I was thinking I was going to absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE them, maybe I'm gonna knock that LOVE down a notch or two. I hate when I expect so much and it doesn't deliver so believe it or not, that helps! :kiss:

I have Twilight, but it's in the shed in a box, so I didn't add that to my choices. :giggle:
terrafreaky - April 17, 2008 06:20 PM (GMT)
I just finished Motor Mouth, so I picked that one.
