Have You Read This Book?

[Sherrie]

Jen, I've read Imaginary Girls and I really enjoyed it.

[Harlee]

Has anybody read Of Poseidon? I have never read a mermaid story before and am kind of wondering if this is a good one. Also, Monstrous Beauty? I currently have this one on my shelf.

I think I just fainted dead away. How can this be? Even Probability of Miracles? No way.

[Jenny, Always smiling! :-D]

Yup. No way! LOL

[Kaylani]

I vote Jen reads Love, Stargirl because I liked the first book and want to know if I need to buy the second.

READ NOW.

[Rose (The_Calm_Reader)]

Has anyone read or ? I am really wanting to read one of these soon!

[Heather]

I've read both. I'm in the minority and I liked If I Stay but it didn't live up to the hype for me. I read The Giver in elementary school and loved it. I really need to re-read it soon.

[Jenny, Always smiling! :-D]

I've read them both. Personally I liked If I Stay better, but it depends on your mood I guess! If I Stay is a tear jerker, The Giver an intense dystopian. I'm the opposite, Heather, The Giver didn't live up to the hype for me!

[Daniel]

I am going to read pretty soon. Isn't this an amazing cover?

@Daniel it is an amazing cover!! I'm kind of personally rooting for it to make September BOTM so I have an excuse to buy it and read along for my next read!!

[Karen’s Library]

I sort of am too, Rose! I kind of want to see what all the hype is about as well! I'm more of a dystopian lover so for me, The Giver is a favorite of mine!!

a bit late,but.
I have read of poseidon and of neptune, both great books. Love them,they are original,scary,funny,romance filled and family and friends drama filled.
Also thers a very nice summer-y feeling to it.

Defently recomend it.

[Harlee]

Thanks Oda!

[Harlee]

I have a new question about the Throne of Glass series. I've heard lots of people say you should read the novella/prequel thing The Assassin's Blade first but other people say it's better to read Throne of Glass first so you are not confused. Opinions??

[Lauren]

I'm currently reading Throne of Glass and I haven't read the prequel thing. I'm not having any problem keeping up with it.

[Jenny, Always smiling! :-D]

You won't be confused so much as you'll have Caleana's back story down...lots happens in those prequels that explains how she gets where she is now!

[Harlee]

Okay, thanks gals! :)

Yes I agree, the prequel stories arent necessary but they add to the myth, I read them all when the prequel bind up came out after reading tog,and com so its not like you have to read it first. It is up to you, but if you are unsure you SHOULD read them, very good prequels. but no it doesent matter when you read them.

...So you guys, am "always" thinking about trying these broken stars, but the thing is I normally dont like space books. and have heard people compare it to titanic, and I dident love that either.. so should I try these broken stars?

[Anna]

Have anyone ever read branded, center series book one by missy something or another

Aw, boo :( My want to read it just cut about in half haha. I've been wanting to read some legit YA, star-fairing YA for awhile now.

Ha, Tommy! Have you read series? It's a spaceship. I've heard is similar to Firefly.

Tommy have you read the Lunar Chronicles or Red Rising? I would classify Red Rising as more of a "space" book because it's set on Mars, but TLC has a moon colony.

[Anna]

What did you guys think about Scarlet? I was hesitant to read it because it got bad reviews on audible but I enjoyed it I didn't think it was as bad as everyone said

[Ashley Marie]

Scarlet as in, 2nd book of the Lunar Chronicles? It's my favorite of the series so far.

[Anna]

I really liked it it kept me in suspense. I haven't read the rest of the books but I plan to I did think the romance between Wolf and Scarlet was a little bit for us at times but overall I thought it was really good and I enjoyed their romance between the two is there going to be a Nother installment after winter

[Karen’s Library]

Same for me, Anna. I LOVED Cinder, liked Scarlet, and LOVED Cress. Scarlet was my least favorite of the series probably because of the romance between Wolf and Scarlet. But love the entire series as a whole.

@Rebecca, I am Firefly obsessed and so is my BFF and she read Avalon and said it was another Firefly. A group of loveable characters on a space ship. :)

As far as I know Winter is the last book in the series. Make sure you pick up Fairest (the novella) after you read Cress, it's really good too!

I think Marissa's working on a new novel about the Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland next, I'm really excited for that one too :)

I think you should still give it a try Tommy. I am pretty picky and I thought it was decent.

[Heidi]

Scarlet was my least favorite so far but that was likely simply because Scarlet is my least favorite character in the series. I loved the introduction to Thorne though and would recommend it simply for that reason!

[Tommy]

I have not red ATU yet, but plan on it. I'll bump it higher on the list :)

And for what it's worth, you made up for halving my interest for These Broken Stars by doubling my interest for Avalon.

[Tommy]

Rebecca wrote: "Avalon is similar to Firefly? In what way? I love Firefly, so I'm interested."

Right? I can totally get into that haha. That comparison alone got the book at least one more guaranteed reader.

I've read Cinder and I loved it(5 star). I'm gonna get Scarlet and Cress from the library in roughly a week :)

Haven't jumped into Red Rising yet. I definitely plan to, though.

I still plan on it, just maybe not as quickly as I'd intended.

[Anna]

I haven't read read rising but I read sender and Scarlet I adored sender Scarlet was fairly good I didn't understand what the problem people I had with it was I'm reading a book in between Scarlet in Chris so I will let you know what I think about Chris

I have! I, for one, actually enjoyed it more than her Legend series. :)

That's good to hear. I wasn't too crazy about Legend but I REALLY want to read Young Elites.

Yeah, for me the Legend series for me got better as it went along, but I didn't find myself really hooked at any point like I did with The Young Elites.

[Tommy]

Lauren wrote: "Yeah, for me the Legend series for me got better as it went along, but I didn't find myself really hooked at any point like I did with The Young Elites."

Legend was 3 3-star books for me. I did genuinely enjoy it, but it never really pulled me in like some books do. Young Elites almost sounds like it has an X-Men vibe to it.

[Anna]

Has anyone read branded, centers book one

Same here. The Young Elites definitely has an X-Men vibe. :)

[Heather]

I have read The Young Elites and I liked it. I think I'm in the minority though because I preferred Legend.

I also preferred Legend! ;)

I couldn't find that book, Anna. Who is the author?

I was just about to say you might not be in the minority. Legend was very beloved, and rightfully so. It was objectively very well executed, I just wasn't the right person for it is all. Still very good stuff and it left me with a high opinion of Marie Lu as a writer.

Has anyone read The Iron King???The Iron Fey series? Should I read that or The Mortal Instruments?

I read both. Personally I like the iron fey better, but tmi has its good sides as well. I say, why not read both. :P
