Omg I feel the same way. This book was soooo good I already bought the second one Thunderhead and another book not in the series by Him called Dry. I am not sure who I loved more in Scythe, Madame Curie or Rowan Or Goddard. All three were exceptional to me. I did however hate Faraday and i am not sure why i think i didnt like that he punked out at the end when the kids needed him most.

So by my count we seem to have 3 of us reading Scythe. I am going to post on meetup about this since i forgot to see if we can get another reader and just maybe, juuuuust maybe we could have a real life coffee house meet to discuss the book.

Did you finish the last book?

Fuck yeah

Since its just you and me. I will let you pick this round.

I honestly do not know what to say. I think i have been rendered speechless. I felt that there was hardly any romance at all and just fragments that left me keeling over for more.

But to each their own i guess lol

My suggestions are either:
Scythe By Neal Shusterman
The last Namsar by pearl Mackie
Cruel Prince by Holly Black

Ok so how did you like it? I loved it, and i mean unhealthy obsession style loved it.

I lived and i died for Kaz and Inej.
Matthias was hilarious.
Jesper is and was my hero.

It was amazing. The writing style was perfect, where the story just starts the moment you open the book. the author told the backstories perfectly in segments throughout each character's POV--i simply loved it.

I forgot to vote but six of crows won anyway so yay.

Ok then i made a poll. Vote there click on link:

...Ok so is that all the suggestions thus far?

They are quite cheap (free in fact for Prime members) and are all new releases."

Ok what is your suggestion from there?

Samantha wrote: "Not really. I either look into books to read (which I haven't done recently) or buy books in bulk in the hopes that one is good.lol. So I don't really have anything solid to suggest that I haven't ..."

Ok lets give it a day or two for the possibility of more suggestions and then we will decide

Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern
and (for something completely different?)
Ancient Magus' Bride by Kore Yamazaki (since this is a manga I was thinking volume 1 only)"

i read the night circus already and you know damn well i have destroyed the ancient magus bride through and through

Samantha Samantha do you have any that you have not read by chance that you are wanting to read?

Omg the football one is hilarious.

what are your book suggestions?

Samantha wrote: "I only read series so I don't know if these will work but I would suggest:

The Last Stormlord by Glenda Larke
Dance of Cloaks by David Dalglish"

both of these sound good, have you read either or are they new suggestions for you?

Side note everytime i see the name Aaron i end up remembering the key and peele skit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dd7Fi... lol

dont forget to see the next discussion titled "second book" on our next book suggestions

I had the same thoughts as everyone else it seems. It was..."


Yes, yes, and yes i agree. I swear if the author would have delved deeper into the story and took his plot more seriously while keeping the same tone it would have been a hilarious adventure.

But again i liked it and i am not sorry in the slightest about reading it. Good pick

Kiki wrote: "It got a little disjointed for me. The entire section about the doughnut was just bizarre - my husband and I listened to it on a road trip and would regularly look like each other like “WTF is this..."

was the narration of the book any good at least?

Samantha wrote: "I didn't mind the disjointedness. It made the book seem like less of a commitment and if I got bored of a story it was over soon. I liked the discontinuity of the first story. I've always enjoyed s..."

yes you are right on that it doesn't have much of a re-readability to it.
