Oh yay! I want to read The Ice Twins. I already own it. :)

I was thinking about reading The Witches too, but I read a bit (Amazon look inside feature) and listened to the audio sample on Audible and I'm not sure I'm going to like it. I may wait to see what others think of it first.

I read The Ice Twins not too long ago. It had a great atmospheric creep to it. The setting was great. Enjoy!

[Kristie, Moderator]

That's great to hear, Vicki. Thanks!

[Kirsten]

Terrific, my choices win! Yay, me!

Neither of those are what I normally read and I haven't heard about any of them. I am going to wait and see what wins.

[Lynn, Moderator]

Heh, these are two of my favourite categories :)

Nimona is such a wonderful read. Because I've already read it I voted for another... but I honestly should reread it regardless.

I really enjoyed it too. I didn't seem to love it as much as others - gave it 4 stars not 5 but I'd definitely recommend it too.

I'm always surprised by how many Science & Tech books appeal to me. I rarely actually get to them unfortunately...

Likewise!! I might try to read more of them next year though.

Our last poll of the year's results were:

Young Adult Fiction - Everything, Everything

Science & Technology - Forensics: What Bugs, Burns, Prints, DNA and More Tell Us About Crime

[Vicki Willis]

Everything, Everything is on sale today on BOOKBUB (kindle) for $1.99. I just picked it up so I am ready for December! :)

[Kristie, Moderator]

Thanks, Vicki. It is also $1.99 on Amazon for Kindle.

I have a question for anyone that has already read Everything, Everything. I keep getting put off the book because the basis for this book is that this girl has an illness where she is allergic to everything and cannot be exposed to the outside world. This makes it very unbelievable to me that she would even meet her neighbor, never mind have a relationship with him. So, my question is (without spoilers!) do you think that the relationship is done well? Is it realistic given her medical condition or is it a real stretch?

[Lynn, Moderator]

Kristie, it's done realistically ...... it's also a lot more than just about a romance. I thought I was going in to something that would run of the mill fluff, it wasn't.

[Kristie, Moderator]

Thanks, Lynn. I may pick it up while it's on sale then.

Does anybody read the cartoon "Baldo"? One of the characters is dating a girl who is isolated and has some kind of robot that goes to school for her.
