Katie (katiehodgkinson) Just finished: Delirium (Delirium, #1) by Lauren Oliver
Angela's Rating: 3 Stars
My Rating: 4 Stars

I love love loved this, just could've been a bit shorter in my opinion. Her writing was a bit unnecessarily wordy for my tastes.

Kelsey was right to warn me off this one. she tried to tell me this was her least favorite of the 3 I picked and I'd have to agree. Still, glad I grabbed it to give it a try.

message 130: by Jalyn (new)

Jalyn (jalynnie) I'm going to have to change my pick from Ayesha's read shelf. I didn't realize Pandemonium isn't out in paperback yet and my copy of Delirium is in paperback and I can't mix and match book types (a little weird, I know). My library doesn't have it so I'm going to change my pick to:

The Son of Neptune (Heroes of Olympus, #2) by Rick Riordan

Weird? My mother is now yelling "Ha!" because we thought she was the only one with this particular, um, preference. She is STILL waiting for the library to carry the sequel to "Shiver" in PB. You are not alone!

Birdie (purple_feather22) | 294 comments I just finished Tremble (Celestra, #2) by Addison Moore for my part in this challenge with Janine. She still hasn't chosen a book from my finished list but I'm hoping she just forgot and might finish this by the end of the month.

I really enjoyed this book. For a minute there I was really caught up in the love triangle between Skyla Logan and Gage. It upset me a little that Skyla was forced to play games. That changed closer to the end though and now I'm glad that the book ended the way it did. Not with resolution but the promise that there was going to be more. Cliffhangers are my downfall and probably the biggest reason I've read so much this year. (That and unemployment, hehe.)

I finished this challenge on 11/17 (5 stars).

Good job Sapir! I am going to start on your book I chose tomorrow. I have been SO busy with work and another challenge. I haven't forgotten though. However, I was reading the thread and Gisbelle said we are to read a book from your READ shelf and I had picked one from the wrong shelf. You rated Pushing the Limits (Pushing the Limits, #1) by Katie McGarry 5 stars, so I choose to read that one. :o) Hope it's as good as you say.


message 143: by Sapir (new)

Sapir | 138 comments Ohhhh I'm sure you'll enjoyit SO much!
(btw, shiver WAS on my read shelf, but Pushing the Limits is way better)

Vicki (goodreadscomboobooper49) | 31156 comments Oh ok. I guess I missed it. I'll read Pushing the Limits.

Trip  (shardsofromance) My partner: Sarajayne
I chose to read: Dragonswood by Janet Lee Carey
Sarajaynes rating: 4 Stars
Date read: Jan 26, 2012

My Rating: 5 stars
Date Read: Nov 5th, 2012

I went into this book not expecting much from it but it took my breath away in so many way I just loved all the characters and that the mains were not made to be perfect, that they actually made mistakes.
I loved it, the romance aspect is pretty much non-existent except for randomly popping up in certain places but even so it didn't distract me from the real plot. So although I was disappointed by the romance side of things, I just couldn't bring myself to lower the rating because it was so much more then that and one of my favourite reads of the year so far, would love a sequel!

[Repost, once again I forgot too...]
