I need to finish these.
I have read a few things Gaiman and for the most part really enjoyed everything I've read. His writing reminds me of Koontz and King in that he's out there with his stories.

I have read a couple of things by Holly Black Teresa and they were OK however her writing is not for me.

OMGOSH Tracy, you WILL NOT be disappointed. It's fantastic. Like Throne of Glass mixed with Cassandra Clare. I am totally immersed and sneaking it during work! GAH! I don't want it to end. I haven't read a book that's kept me this enthralled in a while. AND it's third person, which I often have a hard time with, but it's done SO WELL!

Oh and it's so good, I am going to purchase a physical copy for myself. I am sad that I chose not to go to the launch, which was right across the water in NYC.

Finished
and HOLY CRAP! It was so very good. If you like Throne of Glass, you're gonna love this one. Also reminded me a bit of Clare's TMI and TID. Just fantastic. I highly recommend this. I am not sure what to read now. My first five star rave in a long time!

I thought the ending was a let down. However, I still gave it 4/5 cause it had me hooked. I struggled to put it down.

I am really enjoying the Lunar Chronicles - am about to read 3.5 in July and can't wait for Winter to come out.
And I LOVE Charley and Reyes. Audios for these are great if you do them. Hope you enjoy!


Starting [bookcover..."
Thanks! I added the Charley books to my list MONTHS ago when people on here were raving about them, and like Cinder, it too had a super long waitlist. Glad to finally have the first book!


Oh I loved this one so much Amo, very original time travel romance!

I loved Fikry Jenny. It is unique, funny and touching.

This. Book. Is. Brilliant!
LOVED every word, every sentence, every page. The whole thing was perfect. I laughed (a lot), I cried, and I melted with happiness. It had the same flavor of "I Am The Messenger" by Marcus Zusak.
This is a must read. Seriously. This is a book for Booklovers.
"No man is an island; every book is a world."
I do not want to return this book to the library! I need to buy myself a copy, pronto!



Agreed! I just read most of it in one sitting :)

That cover IS gorgeous! Might need to purchase an actual hardback.

My son's 9 and I have a heck of a hard time getting him to read. Maybe you can let me know what your so enjoyed so I can have my son give them a try

Agreed! My favorite new YA sic-fi series, hands down!!! Can not WAIT for book three!!!

What is his reading level? My son read Harry Potter when he was 8!
Nikki Power Gloves by David Estes is really quite cute. At 9 my son also enjoyed the Diary of A Whimpy kid books (though they are aged for 6th grade). How about Captain Underpants? He also read the Middle School series by James Patterson. He's 11 1/2 now, though.
My 8 year old loves reading the Fly Guy books (though I think they are a bit too young for him now since he's advanced in his reading a lot this year). How about Junie B. Jones (I know, I know, it's a girl, but my kids, all boys, have enjoyed them) or Cam Jansen (same, but still). Have you tried the Magic Tree House books? or Horrible Harry? or Big Nate? Also Bad Kitty books :)

I'm at a very disconcerting part in TBS right now. Belkis, please tell me it gets better!! I keep holding my breath that Tarver will wake up and learn this is all a dream.

I read the first one Ash and really loved it. Need to finish this series but I wanted to finish the Dark Hunter series first because I got confused with them before.
