Storm Arashi (stormarashi) | 1130 comments The Encounter (Animorphs, #3) by Katherine Applegate

Still plowing through still loving it.

Though admittedly Tobias is not my favorite of the narrators. I don't like him that much.

I definitely think you should! I love the dark fantasy/fairy tale vibe of it!

The Hate U Give is an interesting one for me so far. I like how raw and real it is. No sugar-coating, no attempts at being PC. TRUTH. That is hugely important in any book. Sometimes I'm reading it and I feel myself getting choked up at the simplest of lines. The writing isn't flowery, but it hits each point with certainty and power. That's the only way I can describe it. It is an important book.

You're making me glad I grabbed a copy, and eager to read it very soon.

Almost done with The Hate U Give. I don't know anything about the ending but I am very worried it's not going to be happy.

Finished The Hate U Give. Argg, so frustrating. I had a pretty good indication as to the ending (based on real life), but still. SO FRUSTRATING. Good book though. Had a very real feel to it.

I mean, it is real. So yeah, worth reading. But still...the ending hurt. A lot.

I'm a third through Battle Mage by Peter Flannery AWESOME book! And the author is really nice :)

In other news, Fatemarked just hit its highest ranking on Amazon ever, as well as its sequels. The timing is perfect because book four, Deathmarked, comes out TOMORROW, a month earlier than initially planned thanks to the awesomeness of my beta reading team :) :) :)

Interesting description of thug. I would agree but to me gayle forman or meg rosoff books are rawer and realer. Or maybe thats just me thinking because those books have less humor they are more real? I DO LOVE THUG though.

Harlee | 1583 comments It has been a LONG time since I have been on Goodreads. This whole year has felt like a bad reading slump for me but I just started Caraval and am liking it so far!

Lauren Stoolfire | 2047 comments Doctor Who The Way Through the Woods by Una McCormack 0 I've just started this one for the #MakeMeReadIt Readathon - the author's really capturing their voices well so far. :)


message 2894: by Catherine (new)

Catherine Bruno | 771 comments Finished my re-read of Bridge to Terabithia. Reading The Gunslinger (Dark Tower #1), which is in Stephen King style of weirdness and I will power through it but it's a little too weird for me despite having read many Philip K Dick books. Also just started Gathering Blue from The Giver series.

I am crawling through Battle Mage but love it so much. Just don't have much time these days to read, unfortunately. But at least the reading time I am getting is SO GOOD. I cannot recommend this book enough to lovers of epic fantasy, dragons, and magic. It is long, but really satisfying :)

Battle Mage by Peter Flannery
