Scott Sigler's Nocturnal should be in the running for book of the year, not just best horror!

I'm disappointed by the books this year... Compared to the past years the only finalists I know, are ones I didn't like or found very "ordinary".
Too bad, hope it will be better next year !
Um. Posion Princess by Kresley Cole. Duh. It's only the greatest book ever written. Next to Sweet Evil by Wendy Higgins & Alice in Zombie Land by Gena Showalter.
Swords and Sails: The Legacy of the Red Lion by David McAvoy IIDavid McAvoy IISwords & Sails: The Legacy of the Red Lion

It was so amazing! That ending... there are no words to even begin to describe how awesome it was.
Right??! I've gotta admit, I was a little bummed about Jack's reaction to her at the very end, boo hoo. :( I just noticed you mentioned Alice in Zombieland also, it's in my TBR pile because it looks SO good! Just wondering if it's good enough in your opinion for me to move it up & read it sooner? Thanks!
So I've got to go kick and scream, because once again, Terry Brooks is not recognized for his genius.
City of Lost Souls by Cassandra ClaireBtter Blood by Rachel Caine
Eternally Yours by Cate Tiernan
Beautiful Redemption by Margareth Stohl and Kami Garcia
Finale by Becca Fitzpatrick

I think Jack's reaction is important. I want her to end up with him, but there needs to be room for HerXDeath! There's more going on with those two and I wanna know what it is! :-P
Oh and Alice in Zombie is AMAZING. Yes, Alice in Zombie = Alice in Wonderland. HOWEVER, this is %100 orginal. There are some things that loosely carry over, but while you're reading it... I'm not even sure how to describe it. I can't even begin to count how many times I've cried in this book. From the first Chapter to the end of the book it tugs at your heart. And Alice is very like-a-ble. She's kicking Zombie ass, so how could anyone NOT love her? Plus it's funny. There's like a million and one L-O-L moments.

Ooooh, I like your thinking on Jack & Evie. :) And thanks SO much for the info on Alice in Z-land. I'm moving this one up in the pile!

Yes! I love Tris an Tobias's relationship and how she can stick up for herself. I also love how she is the heroine instead of the boy. I mean I love Tobias but I'm glad Tris was the brave and cunning one. I cried over Will!! and everyone else who died!! Sorry Spoiler... Okay I might be taking this the wrong way and people might think I'm so werid but.... Was Lynn lesbo? Just curious cause in the end when you know who died she was like I love her more or something like that and I was like What?

Cinder by Marissa Meyer. Amazing book by a debit author - a fantastic take on fairy tales and sci-fi/fantasy with amazing, lovable characters!I don't know why there isn't more being said about how amazing this book is! Cannot wait until I can read the rest of the Lunar Chronicles series!

Honestly, I'm Very Disappointed With The Books Chosen For Some Catergories Like Fiction And Book Of The Year. I Think That Choices Should Be More Wide, Like In The Fiction Catergorie, It Felt Like The Books Were All Similar In A Way And It Should Have Ben Different Like Having A More Wide Variety. Personally, I Like M.R. Mathias And Some Other Authors, But Other Than The Two Sections I Commented On, Everything Else Was Fine... I Guess. I Would Love To Hear Everyone Elses Opinions. Please Message Me Via My GOODREADS Account. Thanks. Tell Me If You Agree With What I Said And Tell Me If You Don't And Also What Your Favourite Book Is. Or Books. Graham Clarke
