Devi Posted October 7, 2014 Author Posted October 7, 2014 (edited) I finished A Storm of Swords! :D Now, onto the final (printed) book.... Mini review: Wow! What a tale and a half that was. I didn't even notice the length it was that good (though i was reading it on a kindle). Sometimes though, you can notice a drag in books but I didn't feel it in this one. Best book thus far in A Song of Ice and Fire series thus far. I was trying to tell my boyfriend (who watches the tv series) about it all) and it went something like this. "This happened, then that happened, oh and then this and this, then that, and that and then this and that, oh oh my favourite part...." Basically, he doesn't need to read the books now. 5/5 Edited October 7, 2014 by Devi Quote

Athena Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 Ah! I got confused because you said A Storm with Swords. I hope you enjoy A Dance with Dragons ! P.S. I look forward to read The Maze Runner trilogy with you in November . Quote
Signor Finzione Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 I finished the fourth book, I am onto A Dance with Dragons now. Don't forget to read A Feast for Crows first! Quote

Lucky I didn't start reading yet. Quote
Signor Finzione Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 Ah! I got confused because I was counting books - not looking at titles... Lucky I didn't start reading yet. Yeah, it's confusing because there's 5 books but there's 7 books. At least you realised in time. Quote
Athena Posted October 11, 2014 Posted October 11, 2014 Are you reading anything at the moment, Devi? Quote
Kylie Posted October 11, 2014 Posted October 11, 2014 May I join in with the group read of The Maze Runner next month? I've had it on my TBR pile for ages and don't want to see the movie until I've read the book. Quote
Timstar Posted October 11, 2014 Posted October 11, 2014 Enjoy A Feast for Crows, I'm sure you will! I recently finished A Handmaid's Tale, I wasn't impressed either, though I wouldn't say I hated it. Quote

Anna Begins Posted October 11, 2014 Posted October 11, 2014 I recently finished A Handmaid's Tale, I wasn't impressed either, though I wouldn't say I hated it. Atwood is one of those authors for me that Frankie described the other day, as one we just explore for no reason. I'm just on this Atwood mission, I've got to find out the secret lol I hope I don't reach the end of this trilogy and find out there isn't one... knowing Atwood, there isn't. She likes the edge.

Devi Posted October 14, 2014 Author Posted October 14, 2014 Are you reading anything at the moment, Devi? Not at the moment, I have been far to tired again to read. I really want to start A Feast for Crows. May I join in with the group read of The Maze Runner next month? I've had it on my TBR pile for ages and don't want to see the movie until I've read the book. Yes, as the others have said please do! Quote
Devi Posted October 14, 2014 Author Posted October 14, 2014 (edited) Hmm, not many people seem to like A Handmaid's Tale. Edited October 14, 2014 by Devi Quote

Anna Begins Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 Hmm, not many people seem to like A Handmaid's Tale. I think it was your cover of... was it MaddAddam, that says it best, she is dry and dark It's sort of a hard style to get into. If Handmaid's Tale is your only Atwood experience, most would probably feel neutral about the book. Now that I've gotten more used to her, I think I will read Handmaids Tale again. Most of her books that I have read (Ok, the 3, soon to be 4), I can tell will/ would benefit from a re read. I have an urge to read Handmaids Tale as my first book of the year as I will be finished with my books that I've planned by the beginning of the year and it was my first read of this year. Similarly, I think I will want to read the MaddAddam trilogy again and might save it til this time of year next year to do it. Sorry, long winded on that one, I guess Quote
Ruth Posted October 16, 2014 Posted October 16, 2014 Hmm, not many people seem to like A Handmaid's Tale. Just to be awkward, I'll admit that I loved it (It's one of my favourite books, but I do enjoy dystopian fiction, so maybe I was predisposed to enjoy it.) Quote
Brian. Posted October 16, 2014 Posted October 16, 2014 I enjoyed A Handmaid's Tale when I read it, I think I gave it 4/5. Quote

Well, having read it twice, I can comment that the first time I was a bit "meh", second time was the charm....don't remember my rating, but def enjoyed it a lot more the second time. Some books are just like that. Quote
Little Pixie Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 Aw, such cute puppy pics. Good news that your Vit D is okay now. Quote
Devi Posted November 5, 2014 Author Posted November 5, 2014 So when do we begin reading the Maze Runner books? Quote
Anna Begins Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 Been thinking about you lately- hope you are feeling ok. I was just going to ask the same question. I want to start after the read a thon. So now? Gaia? Quote

I want to start after the read a thon. So now? Gaia? Aww thanks, been getting there. How many books are there in the set? I saw in your thread you listed four, and I only thought it was a trilogy (mine came in a box set). I am missing the fourth book if that's the case. Edited November 5, 2014 by Devi Quote
