Harlee | 1583 comments @Rose I've been wanting to read it for awhile too! The cover alone may be reason enough to buy it!


Rose (The_Calm_Reader) (roselittlebookowl75) | 1372 comments @Harlee I know! The cover is beautiful :) I love that cover & the story sounds good too!


message 103: by Divya (new)

Divya Hey Harlee, I planned on reading Splintered from a long time too. So, my vote is also for Splintered. We can even do a buddy read if its okay with you.

Yes! It is pretty good! Not a favorite but worth the read! :D

Legend by Marie Lu was amazing with fast paced dysptopian plot while i haven't read splintered, i have read raven boys by Maggie stiefvater and if you like the language she uses then the book may appeal to you otherwise for me it was a disaster.

Merril Anil | 13 comments Has anyone read the Jack Reacher Series by Lee Child ...it remains one of my favourite series ever

i have read almost 11 of 17- 18 books of this series and
the first book Killing Floor and one shot (on which the movie was made)remains my favorite

RAVEN BOYYYYS. *Ahem* I'm kind of obsessed with those books. I think they're amazing.

Legend was just okay for me. I haven't read Splintered, although I've been told it's good.


message 109: by Harlee (new)

Harlee | 1583 comments Decisions, decisions...Thanks for everyone's opinions! I think, maybe I'm gonna go with Legend and Raven Boys and save Splintered for another time :) although I could just as easily change my mind in an hour lol

Donna (donanicole) | 897 comments Ok, I think I am way behind the curve here, but I am just loving the Unraveling (Unraveling, #1) by Elizabeth Norris series by Elizabeth Norris. I am already on the second one, Unbreakable (Unraveling, #2) by Elizabeth Norris and wondering if there is a third one. I just started the second one and can't find any info on whether there is a third one. Anyone know? This is one of the better series I have read this year.

There is not a third one :( I also LOVE this series!!!

And we did a Q&A with Elizabeth Norris awhile back, here's the link if you want to read it!

message 113: by Donna (new)

Donna (donanicole) | 897 comments Good, glad to hear that the second one completes the series, since I really really hate waiting for the "next" in as series to come out. I read so many books that I can forget just where the first book or books were going and left off while waiting. So good news!


Rose (The_Calm_Reader) (roselittlebookowl75) | 1372 comments Has anyone read Maybe Someday by Colleen Hoover , The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt , The Selection (The Selection, #1) by Kiera Cass ? After I finish the two books I'm reading wanting to take a break and read something different before returning to the series I'm reading.


message 115: by Divya (new)

Divya Well, Rose, I read the Selection last month and I wasn't a big fan of it. In fact, I think I gave it 2.5 stars. If you want to read a good dystopian book, then there are many other good books like Unwind.


message 116: by Jenny, Always smiling! :-D (new)

Jenny (juliababyjen) | 12932 comments Mod
I have read the Selection. The thing to remember with this one--its not really a dystopian (in my eyes.) It's more of a fantasy/fairy tale. Once I got over that, I liked it okay, although I think there are way better books out there to read!


message 117: by Kaylani (new)

Kaylani (cityeclectics) | 297 comments Maybe Somebody is sitting on my nighstand. I need to read it in the next few days so I will let you know :)


Rose (The_Calm_Reader) (roselittlebookowl75) | 1372 comments Thanks Kaylani :)


message 119: by Harlee (new)

Harlee | 1583 comments Has anybody read The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman? I'm reading it now but I can't seem to get into it. I'm thinking about putting it down and starting something else.

I couldn't get into it either. Only made it about 90 pgs.

I adored The Graveyard Book! Give it a chance.:)

Harlee | 1583 comments Okay I'll keep going!


Rose (The_Calm_Reader) (roselittlebookowl75) | 1372 comments Has anyone read Falling Into You (Falling, #1) by Jasinda Wilder ? It is on Kindle for $3.99. Just wondering if it is any good :)


message 124: by Alison (new)

Alison Morquecho (thebookishcamper) | 787 comments hola y'all, have any of u read the Percy Jackson series? debating on whether to put it on my. tbr list

Daniel (pickyreader1) | 1925 comments I've borrowed the entire PJ series, I plan to read it during the summer. I've heard so many good things!


message 126: by Harlee (new)

Harlee | 1583 comments I loved the PJ series! It was that series that got me obsessed with reading haha :)

Percy Jackson is AWESOME!!

Tommy Hancock (tommyhancock) | 957 comments If I had to credit a series for making me love reading(non-comics), I'd have to give it to Goosebumps. Far from top tier literature, but it was really easy for a first grade boy to get into the quick stories.

If I had to pick a most beloved series, Harry Potter by far. Made me think seriously about writing(which I am now doing).

But the PJ series is incredible too. One of my favorites. Such a fun read.


message 130: by Harlee (new)

Harlee | 1583 comments The very first series I can remember loving was the Horrible Harry series when I was in grade school haha they were great :)

There needs to be a "like" button for this type of post haha.


Rose (The_Calm_Reader) (roselittlebookowl75) | 1372 comments Has anyone read The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer (Mara Dyer, #1) by Michelle Hodkin ? I'm thinking of reading this after I finish The Selection series. What did you think of it?


message 133: by Alison (new)

Alison Morquecho (thebookishcamper) | 787 comments it is in my tbr pile! I heard many good things about it. to anyone who has read it, is it a scary book?


Rose (The_Calm_Reader) (roselittlebookowl75) | 1372 comments @Alison-thanks :) I've read good reviews on it, just wondering if anyone had read it. It's on Amazon on Kindle for around $5!!


message 135: by Katy (new)

Katy H (the_other_katy) | 49 comments Not behind and you haven't lost your mind...you've just been busy, I presume. I've read the "Harry Potter" series about a hundred times, due in part to my re-reading the entire series each time a new book or movie was released and then re-reading just for fun. Incidentally yes, I have FAR too much time on my hands. I also enjoyed "The Casual Vacancy", though it was entirely different from the "Harry Potter" books. As for "The Girl..." series, I have the first book but got bogged down in all the $$$ talk toward the beginning and gave up. I did rent the movie. It was OK, but I found it predictable and lost interest in the sequels. I apologize if this has already been asked but has anyone read "The Cuckoo's Calling"?


message 136: by Sherrie (new)

Sherrie | 1212 comments @Katy I listened to the Cuckoo's Calling on audio CD and thought it was excellent. The narrator did a great job with bringing the book to life. I highly recommend this book! The second in this series The Silkworm is being released in June. Can't wait!

I read it and really enjoyed it. Keep in mind that the 3rd book doesn't come out until November (I think).

Thanks Katelyn! I think I will buy it on my Kindle to read after I finish The Selection series. Right now I'm reading The Elite!


Rose (The_Calm_Reader) (roselittlebookowl75) | 1372 comments Has anyone read The Cuckoo's Calling by J.K. Rowling? I am really wanting to read it but want to know if its good!


message 140: by Kaylani (new)

Kaylani (cityeclectics) | 297 comments I've heard amazing reviews of The Cuckoo's Calling. I own it but haven't gotten to it yet.


message 141: by Heidi (new)

Heidi | 2372 comments Sherrie just said she liked Cuckoo's Calling. It appears we both listened to it on audiobook and we both liked it :)


message 142: by Heather (new)

Heather The Summer I found You by Jolene Perry?


message 143: by Sherrie (new)

Sherrie | 1212 comments @Kaylani you will love the Cuckoo's Calling! If you can get the audio from your library I highly recommend it!

@Heidi, it seems you and I have very similar tastes in books! :) The second book in the Cormoran Strike series will be out soon. Can't wait!


message 144: by Heidi (new)

Heidi | 2372 comments Yup Sherrie! I can't wait!


message 145: by Jen (new)

Jen (jenwesner) | 1222 comments I really liked Falling Into You (Falling, #1) by Jasinda Wilder and The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer (Mara Dyer, #1) by Michelle Hodkin and Maybe Someday by Colleen Hoover . I'm also on the side of Legend (Legend, #1) by Marie Lu (the whole series) being amazing. Chaos Walking A Trilogy by Patrick Ness is one of my top series of all time, and I didn't care for The Maze Runner (Maze Runner, #1) by James Dashner series although I read them all except for the novella. I do think the movie will probably be better and who doesn't love Dylan O'Brien?

Out of all those books I've only read Imaginary Girls ... I liked it, although it was pretty confusing. It's a pretty strange book and not a lot is explained. But it was definitely memorable!
