~*~The After-Twilight Bookclub!!!~*~

[Caribbeanprincess]

I'm VERY excited! I've had a VA low since I finished the last book. Haven't read the first chapter yet and I think I won't! I'm holding out until tuesday!

 

[Desnik]

Oh I had to read the first chapter! I couldn't wait! I am so excited Eclipse DVD release and The Last Sacrifice book all within a few days of each other!!!

I have a book that you might be interested in, it is called Switched by Amanda Hocking. So far it is proving to be really interesting, I feel like I am getting sucked in by it.

You're welcome. I noticed on goodreads.com that the third book comes out in January so that is probably why.

A few books I've read lately that I've really enjoyed:

The Parasol Protectorate Series by Gail Carriger. Steampunk, paranormal, romance. Very, very good. The books are Soulless, Changeless, Blameless (Heartless, and Timeless will be coming out soon.)

The Blades of the Rose Series by Zoe Archer. Romance, steampunk, paranormal. In order: Warrior, Scoundrel, Rebel, Stranger. I loved the first two, was iffy about Rebel. The fourth just came out a couple of days ago.

I finally read Outlander. Loved it. It is one of those books that will stay with me. I'm halfway through Dragonfly in Amber and I find myself skimming. I think I just need to read the Cliff's Notes instead of thousands of pages. Galbadon sure does get wordy!

I started reading Heavenly by Jennifer Laurens. Heard about this from Desnik over on goodreads. Very good so far. A young adult supernatural romance about the Guardian Angel of a young autistic girl who falls for the girls sister. So far its giving me a Twilight-ish feel. Forbidden love. I actually got butterflies in my stomach during one scene! I also love the way the author is handling the autistic element. She can definitely relate to what it's like raising a child with autism. Heavenly is the first book in the series, Penitence and Absolution follow.

I've also enjoyed Maria V. Snyder's Study Series, first Poison Study, then Magic Study, finally Fire Study.

Other books I look forward to reading that have come highly recommended from goodreads are Gentlemen Prefer Succubi, One Night in Scotland, and The Greyfriar by Clay and Susan Griffith. This one has great reviews!

Anyone new on goodreads? Wanna be friends?

Are we friends on goodreads yet?

Have you read the next series from Maria V Snyder? I didn't like it quite as much but I did like it. Especially the last book which Valek plays a huge part. And if you sign up for her newsletter you get to read Ice Study which she is giving out to the people that get it.

 

[Caribbeanprincess]

I'm going to head out to pick up Last Sacrifice later today. Can't wait!

 

[Desnik]

I am going to go pick up Last Sacrifice in a little while. I can't wait to get my hands on it and I have to have the actual book, I will not buy it on my Kindle. I am sad that it is the last book but I an dying to know how this series will end!!

I just finished the book Heavenly and it is really fantastic and I highly recommend it! I am holding off on the next book till I read The Last Sacrifice, but it will be so hard. Heavenly had an ending that had me crying and dying to know what is going to happen next. These characters are so realistic and well written. I absolutely love the main character. She had me laughing, crying, and I really felt like I knew her. This book is so different from other YA books I have read and I think it is because of the autistic sister. She is very well written and I think it is because the author has an autistic child as well. She really nails the family dynamics and the feelings the teenage siblings have towards their sister.

My Goodreads name is Desnik so if anyone wants to be friends that would be great!!

Anyone else finished reading Last Sacrifice? I need to discuss it with someone!!!!

Ice Study? There is going to bra fourth book? That's exciting!!

 

[belle&sebastiansmom]

Desnik, I finished Last Sacrifice. I really liked it! My favorite of the series. I'm actually sad the series is over, I had a love / hate relationship with it! I'm also halfway through Heavenly. Really enjoying that one too, even though I shelved it for a couple of days to read LS.

I think that this book is a bonus to her "fans" as it were. Go to her website and sign up for her newsletter and you get access to it.

I haven't finished Last Sacrifice! I've been busy with schoolwork! D:

But I'll finish it this week, I promise!

 

[wendy46001]

I finished Last Sacrifice, liked it as well
guess now we have to look forward to the spinoff series, actually i was hoping it would be at Court and not back at the academy but at least she's giving us something

 

[lowie]

I just finished it as well, wrapped up nice and tidy at the end. there was part that made me cry (no spoiler) and unfortunately I was sitting in the Sprint store while reading!

I liked it too, but Rose got on my nerves sometimes in this one!
I loved Heavenly and already finished that series!

Can't wait to hear what you thought of it!

The spin off series will not be back at the academy, but it is based in a human school and the main character is Sydney the alchemist! I am really looking forward to it!

If it is the part I am thinking of, it made me cry too!!!

 

[Caribbeanprincess]

Finished reading Last Sacrifice! My thought's in white below, SPOILERS!

I really loved the book, but I didn't think this was a nice tidy ending, it was actually quite open. A lot was left hanging in the air which makes me suspect there will be a sequel series soon like with Mortal Instruments. I'm so glad Dimitri and Rose got back together and had a hot steamy night. And Adrian was so annoying at the end, I was like really?! He seemed like the girl in this relationship. Have I mentioned I love Abe? He's like the coolest dad/mafia guy and I hope he and Rose's mom get back together, they make a cute couple.
