This Week's Waiting List

It's inevitable. Whenever I've actually found a captivating series one of two things happen.
  1. Assuming that the series in question is completed, I'll get to about book two and wouldn't you know it, it's like the book gods smile down on me and all of a sudden my Kindle is choking with titles that tempt me every time I power the thing on. 
  2.  Conversely, if the series isn't complete, and I'm madly in love with it*, its near impossible to find anything that is even remotely as good/interesting/well written. It is in these times that I awaken to find myself in the middle of a 'book drought.'
The good news, at least from a reviews perspective, is that I'm currently in a type 1 scenario and I've got a pretty decent waiting list sitting on the Kindle at the moment just waiting for me to get through book three of the Carrie Ryan books. Once that happens you should start seeing reviews for the following pop-up over the next week or so:
From what I can tell this is a fairly solid chunk of grade-A reading material and I'm especially keen on starting 'The Host' (even though I wasn't particularly impressed with the Twilight novels).


*As an aside one of my all time favorites ends this upcoming May and I'm not entirely sure if I'm thrilled or preparing for a week long depression when it finally comes to a close. (Team Eric!) Either way, Charlaine Harris caused one of the largest book droughts in my recent history - she's just that damned good. Took me about six months to really shake it off and realize that the Sookie-verse was not the end-all-be-all of my reading.

    You will love The Host. It was phenomenal considering how rubbish Twilight was and its teen melodrama. I haven't read the other titles but then... you are gonna review, right? ;)

      That the hope spyglass. When I'd posted this I honestly thought I'd be half done with the list and have some of the reviews posted already - turns out that was total hybris! Fingers crossed that I can at least get caught up with posting tonight. :)

      Hubris that is.. thought is caught it when the autocorrect tried to change it to hybrid... Turns out I just made some strange hybrid of my own. what hybris wouldeven mean though is anyone's guess.

      You'll probably get to it sooner then I will. I only just hit the 70% mark with The Host last night and the next one in line is most likely Seed, but I keep hearing nothing but awesome things about Leighton. So, you'll need to let me know how it is!
