Reading The Iron Knight and Heist Society
Starting the Book Thief tomorrow for the 4th time. I've stopped three times after ten to fifteen pages. I was never really interested, but everyone is like worshipping it, so I'll have to give it another try. Have you already read the Book Thief?
I've never read that...I don't like reading books in older days XD
XD Me actually neither, only if it's really a good book! Then I really enjoy it. More than any futuristic/contemporary book!
The infernal devices was that book for me <3! I also really liked the book thief because I am Jewish so I can kinda understand what the deal was. It's a pretty good book!
I despise TID regarding the historical thingy. In my opinion it's so bad researched and I thought it was unbelievably naively dealing with the people's customs in these times.
I have to agree about TID's historical accuracy. I'm a history nut and pretty sure some of the things they are doing are not socially except able for the time period. Like in Clockwork Prince, Will makes a crude comment about how he thinks Bridget can only cook with potatoes. Even for a shadowhunter that statement goes against proper edict. Also, they don't talk about any of the other issues going on in London aside from what is causing conflict in the bokk.Now, I do really enjoy this books don't get me wrong. I just wish the history was done a bit better.
But you also have to remember in the early 1800's women were not seen as equals to men.

I think i missed the part where they told the date XD I kept screaming at Tessa for being sexist..Oops
Aww, Stormy! I've finished Clockwork Princess on Sunday, I think. :D (Starting with The Book Thief!)
Book Thief!!!! Ahenjdkfndjfkndbsjfb!!!!!! That book is so ahhhh akfhdsksnsjsnsjdndhj!!!!!!
Really? Is it really that good? Idk... I've just started and it seems to me a little bit pseudo-poetic... [btw, I've sent you a friend request]
I personally really enjoyed it. The themes and characters were all very good and then there's the ending.... Oh goodness the ending!!
I'm trying to get into Daughter of Smoke and Bone but it's sooooo boring!!!! Does it get better?

Okay, I've been struggling with that book for a good month now and I keep on putting it down. I love all the world building but it's just too much all at once, if you know what I mean
City of Glass was my favorite TMI book :) hope you enjoy it!

Im currently reading forever, the vampire academy and animal farm
Animal farm is amazing and haunting... I shiver everytime I read the last line...
I'm still reading A discovery of witches. It is boring to start with, but it is pretty good, after you get past the boring parts.
I am currently reading Starcrossed, then Imma read either Champion or The Selection
As for the Selection, I enjoyed it but for me it's more of a guilty pleasure than anything else.
I will smack you Ryann, for your ungratefulness
Currently reading The Racketeer by John Grisham.
I still have to start that :( I've had the ebook for 2 weeks but all the BOTM's started lol
I'm loving it so far. i'm only on like page 35. but it's a massive book
Is it? Maybe I'll hold off a little longer then. I have a couple of buddys coming up and a few r2r too
That's the problem with ebooks, I don't know what I'm getting into
