message 201: by Marie (new)

Marie | 9 comments I can't gush enough about the The knife of never letting go Kathy. The book is so simple and yet made me think a lot. And it almost maded me cry at some point and it's been a very long time since a book has affected me so much. I wish I could say more but I don't want to spoil the book! I also have the last two books of the series and I'm very thankfull that I've waited until I had them to start The Knife of never letting go because I have a feeling I will get trough them very soon!

And so far I've only read My soul to lose, a short story of the screamers but I really liked it so I've very exited for My soul to take but a part of me wants to start The ask and the answer but I will wait until I'm done with My soul to take and My soul to save I think ;)

I absolutely loved Insurgent. I mean usually the second book in a trilogy tends to be the worst for me, but it seems like the second book towards Divergent was equally as good. Can't wait to see how she wraps it up with the last one. It feels so far away!

I completely agree the second book is usually my least favourite as well! I have to admit I'm doing my best to stretch out Insurgent because I already feel impatient about waiting for the final installment!

I just started Fallen Too Far (Too Far, #1) by Abbi Glines and some of the writing seems a bit amateur, but I really wanted to read a light easy going book, and this one just seems perfect to get me into that spring mood :)

@Natasha. I tried to stretch it out too, but failed miserably. Glad you like it :)

Catherine Keaton (cathy_keaton) | 1 comments I just finished reading The Collector by Victoria Scott and I really didn't like Dante that much. He was funny, yes, but he could have stood to flip people off way less than he did.

Yes, Dante, you do have a middle finger! Perhaps you should keep it to yourself more often. *rolls eyes*

Did you like City of Bones (The Mortal Instruments, #1) by Cassandra Clare ? Its one if my ABSOLUTE favorites. Right now I'm reading Shadowhunters and Downworlders A Mortal Instruments Reader by Cassandra Clare and Illuminate (Gilded Wings, #1) by Aimee Agresti . I just finished What Really Happened in Peru (The Bane Chronicles, #1) by Cassandra Clare . LOVED IT.

It reminded me of a few other series, but oddly enough I did like it. I'll definitely be checking out the rest of the series.

I can not wait for Allegiant, I was so upset when they ended Insurgent like that knowing I would have to wait almost a full YEAR before 3! Not cool.

I saw some still shots from the movie the other day and I am so excited, it looks like they are doing it justice....so far at least!

Michelle Pickett (michelle-pickett) I am currently reading The Chemistry of Fate The Chemistry of Fate by Meradeth Houston by Meradeth Houston and enjoying it very much. She also wrote Colors Like Memories Colors Like Memories by Meradeth Houston which was awesome. The Chemistry of Fate is a companion novel to Colors Like Memories, set before Colors Like Memories. Meradeth is an awesome author and a wonderful person.
