Nice, Heidi! I heard its beautiful there!

isn't kinda weird if it does turn into a love triangle. (view spoiler)[I mean all along felix has thought that Yael is his sister. So that's a bit awkward. But yea, I see the potential there and I really hope it doesn't go that way. (hide spoiler)] If its a duo tho, I don't think there will be enough time to create a connection and then have more time to choose, right(?)

I've been reading one book after the other and I feel that I'm going through them too fast that I'll eventually burn out. So I'm taking a much needed break! hahaha...

Anyways, I just finished...

I'm actually surprised I like it. Considering there were too many scientific explanations, I'm surprised I didn't fall asleep in any of them. I love the humor in the book and all the characters are great!

Ashley, its your month so you can pick any book you think is worthy as a 'hidden gem'.

I will have to pass this one... faeries gives me headaches.

No really, head- splitting headaches. I'm pretty sure its all psychological.

I can't believe you finished it already Ashley O_O!!!

Seriously, I don't know how you guys can stand the suspense. I think that's why it takes me so long to finish a series.

I'm currently reading...


been meaning to pick it up for quite some time now, but just kept pushing it back. I'm feeling for some sci-fi this week.

First few chapters feels like I'm reading a lot of math problems. Like those problem solving things back in grade school. My brain is hurting. Makes me remember just how much I hate math. Booo... hope it gets better!

oooo...duology! Nice. I'm glad they're not stretching it, but then I wish the second book will answer everything that it needs to finish.

I liked the way she used the font changes sometimes too. Yea, Mafi's annoyed me. but hers was a bit over the top it was almost in every page.

I actually will change this rating to 3.5 cause even until now I'm still thinking about the book, which is a good thing.

I actually liked Yael as well, like her tattoos and their meaning. (view spoiler)[Wish that she revealed herself to either Felix or Luka, but I understand why she didn't. (hide spoiler)]

I don't think I revealed anything from the above post, right? I don't need to hide it, do I?

I just finished the book. It was pretty good. kinda reminds me of Scorpio Races but without the alternate universe idea.

To be honest though, I think not a lot of people would have enjoyed it if it didn't have that alternate universe aspect. If you remove that from the equation it would just have been a mediocre book.

I enjoyed the writing, but there were times when the book bombarded you with too many symbolism, that it became a little bit too much. Her writing kinda reminds me of Tahereh Mafi when she uses the word repetitively and uses fonts to highlight her feelings. Except she didn't use it excessively, which is a good thing!

Sorry, I'm saying a lot of negative things about this book, but don't take that in a wrong way. It just goes to show you that the book captivated me enough that I was actually paying attention to details.

Hopefully the author won't take her sweet time finishing the series/trilogy(?). Does anyone know how many books is she planning for this?

i was just going to ask who was next. hehehe...

I forgot I bought the book. hahaha...So I just read it. I just started and its ok so far for me. I was expecting...more.

I like the writing enough to keep me interested. I'm enjoying all the Then stories rather than the Now. I'm not really sure how I feel about Yael as a main character yet, but we'll see.

I'm glad that Graudin is not glossing things over, especially about the concentration camps. I mean it's not all gory details, but its not sugar coated either.

love Ready Player one!

I want to read it, but I don't want to start anymore books that haven't all been released yet. I'm going to see if I can get to this.

I thought this book was a standalone O_O

yes, I know what you mean. My husband never read the books, but when he found out he was sad as well. They're his favorite from the movies.

ASHLEY: That trilogy if s group favorite. I still have to read the last one.

(view spoiler)[And Percy was shaking his brother, and Ron was kneeling beside them, and Fred’s eyes stared without seeing, the ghost of his last laugh still etched upon his face. (hide spoiler)]

Hidden because I don't know if everyone has read it yet.

This was the saddest moment for me in all of HP.

Loved it, of course! For some reason I'd never thought of this one as being a standout in the series, but when I ..."

really need to finish the unwind dystology.

really cute cozy. Laughed more than one occasion on some of the protagonist's internal battles.
