I just have been procrastinating about picking it up again. It will get read though. Soon I hope ;)creativedeedshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08128848950460645191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-974058109570919461.post-49096346009883829872012-09-08T08:21:38.701-07:002012-09-08T08:21:38.701-07:00I had the same mental block, to be honest.

I will say that it ended well, if that helps.Kelly Rubidouxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07860403261439777385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-974058109570919461.post-70959987198083870312012-09-07T11:13:29.183-07:002012-09-07T11:13:29.183-07:00Sorry :( That's not how I meant it.Sorry :( That's not how I meant it. creativedeedshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08128848950460645191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-974058109570919461.post-37338629454247455412012-09-07T06:29:58.492-07:002012-09-07T06:29:58.492-07:00Shirley, your comment to me sounded more like a su...Shirley, your comment to me sounded more like a subtle dig over how many freebies and books in general you've read, rather than a comparison. And my comment had NOTHING to do with how many books I've read--it was supposed to mean that I wanted to build up cushion in my GR challenge (which is exactly what I said), because I know it will take me a bit longer to read Timeless. A big part of the reason why I put it down in the first place was because I was behind in my GR challenge and didn't want to waste a week or more reading it and get even more behind. Your comment looked less like a reply to mine, and more like a chance to talk about how many freebies you have read.Amanda @ On a Book Benderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03975515860710635598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-974058109570919461.post-78783083227769586192012-09-07T04:38:59.931-07:002012-09-07T04:38:59.931-07:00It was in reference to Amanda's comment.

We seem to both be having the same problem reading Timeless so I couldn't help but compare - basically by doing the same thing you just did to me - only I didn't reply to Amanda, just made a general comment. :P I will finish it.... I'm too invested in the series and like it too much not too. I'll admit it's a mental block. Maybe this weekend?

I've read... uhh, let's just say that I've read more than 50 freebies at this point and I've also upped my challenge and I've read it.Kelly Rubidouxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07860403261439777385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-974058109570919461.post-86050532384062719872012-09-06T07:12:54.841-07:002012-09-06T07:12:54.841-07:00I will remind you!

I really do like the book though and that's the sad part. Maybe I'll pick it up this weekend. And Kristilyn, I wouldn't recommend reading it out of order. Odd is evidently an adventurous soul. So much happens in the other books it might confuse the crap out of you and trust me, you do not want to go into this series confused. o.O It really is a smart, funny series and I love the characters but the writing bogs me down and I have to be in the right frame of mind to read it. Plus - I really, really, really did't want the series to end. I'll just call my stalling and procrastination a mental block and leave it at that. *sigh*creativedeedshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08128848950460645191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-974058109570919461.post-2775415951472904282012-09-05T08:19:25.995-07:002012-09-05T08:19:25.995-07:00I still need to force myself to finish this book. ...I still need to force myself to finish this book.

I've only read Gail Carriger's new YA book, though, AND my TBR pile is crazy, so I've been trying to avoid obtaining new books. BUT it does look awesome. <br /><br />I'm a little unsure though ... I hate characters that drive me insane and Lord Akeldama sounds like one of those characters! <br /><br />Either way ... I still look forward to reading this series!
